That damn Wallace. Why’d you let him come back?

Seriously though, he/she is pretty fantastic.

Who’s the buddy we can see?

It’s Gromit! And yeah, they are both pretty great, right? We picked them up a few days ago from the shelter. They shouldn’t be with us long, I’m sure they’ll get scooped up right away with faces like theirs.

Bebo ,

Came across Gromit on another post. Seriously both are so cute!

Yeah, they are both like kitten models. It’s ridiculous.

Totally agree with you. They are gorgeous.

Hopefully this just ends up being another nothingburger like last time there was talk about a Ukrainian dirty bomb several months ago.

You mean like when Ukraine claimed Russia put explosives on that dam that now is gone?

iridaniotter ,
@iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml avatar

No I mean when there was talk about a dirty bomb several months ago. The dam wasn’t a nothingburger, hence why I didn’t reference it??

The reference is not all warnings are nothingburgers

You mean the same dam that even western media acknowledged that Ukraine was shelling?

How is the Russian propaganda attempting to frame that? “Ukrainians are Nazis and so we took over their nuclear power plant because we (though we) could. Now they want to destroy it, incurring an immense ecological impact to mostly themselves, because if they can’t have it, better be dead too”?

HowRu68 OP ,

Your guess is as good as mine. But if you have watched Russ TV, they aren’t afraid of saying the most ridiculous things.

Though according to the article: Renat Karchaa, an adviser to the head of Rosenergoatom, which operates Russia’s nuclear network, said Ukraine planned to drop ammunition laced with nuclear waste transported from another of the country’s five nuclear stations on the plant.

“Under cover of darkness overnight on 5 July the Ukrainian military will try to attack the Zaporizhzhia station using long-range precision equipment and kamikaze attack drones,” Russian news agencies quoted Karchaa as telling Russian television. He offered no evidence in support of the allegation."

InverseParallax ,

Yes, but also “We need a status quo cease fire, clearly things are getting dangerous for everybody, let’s all sit down at the bargaining table right now. Of course, in the meantime we keep our current territory and that is the starting point for negotiation, not any territory you might get in the next few months.”

It’s calling timeout, no tag backs when you’re losing in tag. Or as putin calls it “escalate to de-escalate”.

Stereocloud ,

Don’t underestimate Russias stupidity and sheer incompetence, they probably think the brainwashed masses in russia will believe them. We need a hard line to stop it, but, if russia wants their face kicked in by NATO for real, who am I to deny them. I hope for a crater where the Kremlin stands.

LiquorFan ,

I don’t think most of them believe the government media, they just go along with it. And the ones that are against it are already dead/in gulags/sent to Ukraine. That’s what totalitarian states do.

@u_tamtam@programming.dev avatar

I don’t need more evidence that your problem is with reading comprehension. This isn’t a news source per se, this tells what the Russian state media reports about. It doesn’t take much effort to corroborate that:

aljazeera.com/…/russia-ukraine-live-news-kyiv-att…

eurasiantimes.com/ukraine-suicide-drone-attacks-z…

Speaking about brain damage.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

You haven’t collaborated anything, and the fact that you think that’s collaboration further underscores my point. How about we look at what IAEA, who actually have people on the ground, have to say

france24.com/…/20230629-iaea-saw-no-evidence-mosc…

u_tamtam ,
@u_tamtam@programming.dev avatar

I think you should take a break, walk outside for a bit, and hop back with a clearer mind. Your are arguing about… I don’t know what about.

Fact: Russian newspapers are announcing that an attack by Ukraine on the ZNPP is imminent. It doesn’t matter whether you trust Ukraine’s account of it, because this is literally in the Russian newspapers: rt.com/…/579215-ukrainian-attack-nuclear-plant/

My question is: (what THIS thread is about) from the viewpoint of a Russian propagandist, how can they make this story seem credible, (or, IOW, what would Ukraine’s motive be) considering that this would hurt Ukraine the most.

Next time you can use less of your condescending tone and more of your reading time to post on point.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I think you should take your own advice, also try working on your reading comprehension while you’re at it given that your link says Russia is worried that Ukraine would cause a provocation.

From a view point of a sane person who isn’t guzzling Ukrainian propaganda out of a firehouse, it’s pretty obvious that the Ukrainian offensive is a giant failure. Even western media now admits this. NATO summit is happening in a week, and Ukraine is desperate to get NATO involved directly in the conflict.

It’s also pretty clear that the puppet regime in Ukraine doesn’t care one bit about hurting their own country. If they did, they would’ve taken the peace agreement they were offered back in March.

@u_tamtam@programming.dev avatar

Dude, I’ve been super polite, factual, and thorough with you. The context is, a thread started off a (light/teasing) comment of mine. All replies in it where on topic and on a similar light tone except yours. I showed. I explained. I re-explained to you why what you said (no matter whether I agreed or not) is off track, but you keep charging with partisan arguments.

By all means, keep going with your crusade, but you are just talking to yourself at this point and demonstrating that you are giving very little consideration to other’s opinions and messages. Your time would be better employed doing something else is what I think.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

You haven’t been factual. You’ve been linking to Ukrainian propaganda sites claiming that Russia is going to blow up a nuclear power plant that they controlled. Apparently, you’re unable to see how absurd that is, and the fact hat IAEA says there’s no actual evidence to substantiate these claims doesn’t give you a pause either. Here you are claiming that it’s actually me that’s off track.

By all means, keep going with your crusade, but you are just talking to yourself at this point and demonstrating that you are giving very little consideration to other’s opinions and messages. Your time would be better employed doing something else is what I think.

You haven’t been factual. You’ve been linking to Ukrainian propaganda sites

well, I must owe you a lot of respect, and an apology. You absolutely, totally, tricked me into feeding the troll and kept the joke going on and on. You Sir are an absolute master, and a madlad. Well Done!

Or you really are dumb like a box of rocks. But I want to forget this thread on a positive note.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

The RT link doesn’t support your thesis, and you know perfectly well that I was referring to this propaganda site you referenced. You Sir are an absolute master, and a madlad. Well Done!

The only one who is as dumb as a bag of rocks here is the one who can’t even keep track of all the bullshit he’s spewing. 🤡

u_tamtam ,
@u_tamtam@programming.dev avatar

You never know when to stop, do you ^^

The RT link doesn’t support your thesis

You cannot even say what my thesis is, because you keep shifting goal posts and writing only for yourself.

My thesis, which I wrote 12 messages up thread, is that it would be silly for Ukraine to strike itself because they have the most to lose, and if the Russian propaganda really is claiming that, good luck shaping up a cover story that makes sense. You keep saying “no, it’s not true, the source is not valid, …”, because you really miss the forest for the tree.

It is indisputable that Russian Times (RT) reported that Ukraine might soon attack their nuclear power plant: fact. And furthermore, when you read the article, the Russian propaganda makes no effort as to explain what would be Ukraine’s motive in doing that, which brings us back to my thesis (aha): this whole episode is laughably amateurish.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Your thesis is that Russia is going to blow up a nuclear power plant on their own territory. Meanwhile, if you think Ukrainian regime cares about people of Ukraine then you really haven’t been paying attention. My favorite part is that you just keep doubling down on this by claiming that it would be silly for Ukraine to do this, but evidently don’t have the cognitive capacity to understand that it would be even more silly for Russia.

We can certainly agree that your troll tactics are indeed laughably amateurish. You really don’t know when to stop.

u_tamtam ,
@u_tamtam@programming.dev avatar

Your thesis is that Russia is going to blow up a nuclear power plant on their own territory.

Nope. Never said that. Never will unless reputable sources show evidence for it.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Literally the whole argument you’ve been making in this thread is that if there was an incident at the ZNPP then it would be the fault of Russia because you find it inconceivable that Ukraine would do such a thing. So, yes, your thesis has very obviously been that. I guess you’ve finally read your comments sober and trying to backtrack on that now. 😂

The other type seems a bit messy.

HowRu68 OP , to worldnews in Russia has planted suspected explosives on Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant roofs, says Zelenskiy (cross post)

“If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the statement on Telegram said. It said the Ukrainian army stood “ready to act under any circumstances”.

In his nightly video message, Zelenskiy said Russia was planning to “simulate an attack” on the plant. “But in any case, the world sees – and cannot fail to see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia. And no one else.”

Zelenskiy and the Ukrainian military provided no evidence for their assertions”

I’m starting to see a pattern here…

Pili ,

"If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the statement on Telegram said.

Not gonna lie, that’s pretty smart. Now if Ukraine decides to start shelling the plant, they can just pretend that it’s actually Russia that detonated some charges.

I think that’s a pattern we’ll start seeing more and more.
