Interesting coincidence right? We’ve had a general uptick in attacks lately so might not be the post but also might be the post.

It might be because of the other thread and your pinned forum wide post for support of Ukraine, if anything see if your host can try and do some mitigation since you don't host the servers physically anymore and find out if it's an attack vector and when it started trickling in.

I was thinking the same thing... the timing is certainly odd.

Well with this thread some obvious newly made accounts with Anti-West rhetoric and conflicting BS since Crimea back in 2014, the site might be on a list for targeting since Narrative curating didnt work now its attacks, right now Reddit just quarantined r/Russia and are probably going to go after r/zengedong and r/Sino next for being propaganda subreddits.
Because of this war in Russia, I will never, NEVER supply equipment from the West, like a computer, on March 1, 2022 in Russia, all the films I expected, such as the new one about Batman, Turning Red and even Sonic the Movie 2, were also banned, and then after this forever, Roskomnadzor will ban all good Western sites such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter and even possibly Newgrounds (although who knows)!
In short, 2022 is the worst year of my life, my country is sued like North Korea and Putin is Hitler 2.0

If he didn’t help he’d probably keep praising him and refuse to help Ukraine, and insist that Ukraine never helped the IS with anything

i am truly sorry to hear your situation is terrible, and can only hope that circumstances change to where these sanctions can be lifted sooner rather than later
those circumstances are unfortunately "russia leaves ukraine", so i hope that happens soon for both ukraine and russia's sake

Maybe we should listen to the people who saw this coming rather than mindlessly beat the drum of escalation?
This exact outcome was predictable but predicting it requires that you listen to your enemies

The person you're Tweeting doesn't exactly look like an impartial source.
I think you're filtering through Twitter for sources that confirms your viewpoint.
EDIT: I'll just throw out this transcript of the Russian journalist Vladimir Pozner from the end of February. who is the last Tweet quoted:
"But the feeling is among most of the people I've spoken to that this whole drumming up of the possibility or the reality of Russia attacking Ukraine is something that the West is interested in and that Russia doesn't want because Russia can win nothing by invading Ukraine. On the contrary, it can lose a lot. Not only would it be a drawn-out guerrilla warfare kind of thing, which Russia cannot really bear. It would be total destruction of any kind of respect for Russia. There's nothing to win and a lot to lose. And there are people who say that's exactly what the West wants."
A lot of these views have soured like milk over a week. Dredging up historic quotes from 2015 is just confirmation bias.

He's not even a source, he is a link to other, better, sources. And none of this has to do with the truth of what they are all saying.

Here's a source of Stephen Cohen's viewpoint on the current events, rather than a 2014 article.
"His army may be able to destroy large parts of the infrastructure of Ukraine, but he would need well over 700,000 occupying troops to actually impose some kind of martial law or a puppet government. I remember only too well the tongue-in-cheek comment when returning troops were asked why we lost the war in Vietnam. As was explained by many vets, we didn’t lose the war, we were just unwilling to commit enough forces to have a soldier every 20 feet to impose a military dictatorship and kill every patriotic Vietnamese person. Certainly, Ukrainians have the same commitment to their nation as the Vietnamese did."
Filtering through stuff on Twitter that confirms your views isn't research.

I said it before I’ll say it again, I’m convinced he’s doing all this to troll everyone.
EDIT: Even if he's just some kid who's full of himself and that's not the intent, there is a time when flat out virtue signaling and incoherent rambling borderlines into trolling. Part of the reason why it feels like it crossed into that point is because based on other behaviors that are notable is how he has posted memes that conform to his views without any actual context earlier on to provoke a response and he'll often sleep react to nearly everything he disagrees with.
Frankly what is tough to understand is why we all feel that we should try and keep reasoning with him when he's insisting he can do no wrong after getting called out for it and doubling down on it.
To me personally that just makes me feel like he's intending to start a flame war and that's why I blocked him for that reason (I also thought he had been posting through an alt account until I realized that wasn’t the case.)

oh shit its bad when Texas and California start working together, be right back I need to check the temperature in Hell!
this is one very weird timeline.
isnt it lovely when everybody works together though?
i mean, people are dying and theres war and all, but you gotta enjoy the little things.

-The UK has banned ALL RUSSIAN SHIPS from UK harbors and possibly soon even waters!
-EU looking to ban all Russian ships from EU ports
-Russian Ruble plunges for third day straight worth less than one American cent per Ruble!
If Denmark bans all Russian ship from her waters this that means Russian Navy is pretty much stuck in the Baltic and Black Seas and banning all Russian flagged and connected ships will stop import/export.
Looks like I'm getting close to calling it @gario!

All you had to do was look at the maps it's geopolitics 101 baby! And the Ruble is about to go into free fall, foreign reserves abroad have been frozen or seized and Putins froze all foreign Forex and currency exchanges and raising the interest rates and postponing the redemption of various government based bonds to try and shore it up but right now the ruble is floundering due to these policies and people taking advantage of the flucations but once that's over it's going to be complete financial collapse after the SWIFT ban and Supply chain issues take hold.
Several options how to help main Polish humanitarian organizations that take care of Ukrainian Refugees.

Denial? We are not the ones who are taking a contarian view, out of spite for the current Democrat govermnet, to come to the defense of a foreign dictator, who just wanted to take over another country, killing civilians, to appease his ego. While the country he is attacking wants to defend themselves from him.
The rivalry between Russia and the West has been around for decades, because both sides use it for their own benefit - not just one. And Russia has constantly attacked the US through cyber attacks, and other means, so they are anything but a victim to defend
https://qrius.com/wolfowitz-doctrine-us-russia/amp/
That is how the Wolfowitz Doctrine—named by Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Paul Wolfowitz, later the prophet of George W. Bush’s neoconservatives—was developed amid the end of the Cold War.
The Doctrine deemed the US as the world’s only remaining superpower and proclaimed its main objective to be retaining that status. Its first objective was “to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union.”

You can post all the links you want, but none of them say that America is involved with the Minsk agreements.
I'll link this again and recommend reading through it before talking about the Minsk agreements. That is the BARE minimum amount of research and one of the things you will learn that America is not a signatory on the agreements.

He’d never make a good moderator, I implied it once in the thread Tom made regarding closing the politics forum now I’m going say it directly.

Russian Economy possible to meltdown soon, with the rouble falling in devaluation and inflation and sanctions with international companies moving out of Russia international Credit Bureaus are looking to downgrade Russia and start removing BILLIONS of Russian debt out of investment-grade bond indexes.
this is going to make Russia go from a Second World country to a Third World economically like North Korea.

It’s making less and less sense to why Putin is gambling his country’s status to that level the more this conflict unfolds.
What is the payoff if he succeeds in this anyways? Just more territory and more of a reason for the world to tell Putin to go fuck himself? It’s like he knows his days are numbered and he wants to bring everyone down with him.
