Daily Nail: Out of ammunition, the Russian artillery has decided to use deserters and slackers as ammo! British intelligence obtained insider footage.

#3 maybe a third line of troops just in case the 2nd line starts to flee because they don't like killing their friends and comrades

#4 The Ukies just need to lop packages over with white flags. Kill them running? Well come on over the line for some hots and a cot.

#5 Easily solved. Target the 3nd, 3rd lines and combat trains concurrently.

Leaflet drops depicting "hots & cots" for forward echelons.

Separately: Why does this otherwise intelligent site print such obviously moronic DM bullshit?

#7 Why,...because we can.

The soundtrack may be fabricated, as a number of videos, et. al. have been observed to be.
Important to note the Ukraine has the capacity to create, or appear be provided of and publish such content. As suggested above, such an action of enforcement really is of an old guard soviet standard.

#8 ^ Gibberish

This is obvious disinformation from Mi6. They’ve been spewing BS through their faux-journalist plants in the UK tabloids for as long as Mi6 have existed

One of many examples:

Leaked docs reveal senior MI6 operative implicated in torture led British propaganda efforts in Syria

Millions were spent clandestinely setting up and paying a network of ‘journalists’ to pump out anti-Assad, pro-opposition content as directed by a shadowy firm run by the UK foreign intelligence service’s counter-terrorism ex-head.

In July 2019, an arresting image of two young Syrian girls entombed in rubble in opposition-occupied Idlib attempting to haul their sister to safety as she dangled off the precipice of a bombed out building, their panic-stricken father looking on from above, went viral the world over.

The photo, disseminated by Syrian news service SY24, subsequently featured in countless Western media outlets, and was even discussed during a United Nations Security Council session. What very few knew however, was SY24 was created and funded by The Global Strategy Network, founded by Richard Barrett, a former MI6 Director of Global Counter Terrorism Operations. The photo had been taken by one of the firm’s trained “stringers” across Syria, who were charged with creating “wildly impactful” and “engaging” content for “defined target audiences” both inside and outside the country.

Global Strategy is one of several contractors bankrolled and directed by the UK Foreign Office to conduct information warfare operations in Syria over the grinding course of the decade-long crisis. These efforts, costing millions annually, sought to destabilize the government of Bashar Assad, convince Syrians, Western citizens, foreign states, and international bodies that the Free Syrian Army was a legitimate, “moderate” alternative, and flood media the world over with pro-opposition propaganda.

Leaked files indicate that the company’s “core Syria media team” has been working in the country “since the earliest days of the revolution” – and boasts of their work being “wildly (sic) impactful” on perceptions internationally.

#9 Looks like Mi6 InfoOps Upper-Class Twit Of The Year, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, is bollicksing up another imperial venture with his bullshit.

Last year, it was Syria. If this is 2022, it must be Ukraine:

Shadowy UK intel figure Hamish de Bretton-Gordon was at the forefront of chemical weapons deceptions in Syria. Now in Ukraine, he’s up to his old tricks again.

Precisely because it's intelligent, Billy B. The ability to accommodate several perspectives and form your own convictions is a key element of intelligence. 😎

#12 The now-defunct Mi6 front group, the “Integrity Initiative,” recruits willing tools among western media figures such as Anne Applebaum, Bill Browder and Nina Jankowicz — yes, the Biden ‘Ministry of Truth’ moron — to spread lies and disinformation in coordinated attacks.

Mi6 call these disinformation cells “clusters.” Yes, as in clusterfuck, except it’s more sinister than funny.

Regarding their m.o., this report on Nina Jankowicz and other disinformation tools of Mi6 includes a leaked doc which details one particular Mi6 “Integrity Initiative” clusterfuck in Spain:

Midday: (II) Integrity Initiative Spanish cluster hear that a well known pro-Kremlin voice Pedro Baños is to be appointed as Director of the National Security Department, which works closely with the Spanish PMs office (La Moncloa) and is very influential in shaping policy

14:00: Spanish cluster leader alerts other cluster members and prepares a dossier to inform the main Spanish media. The cluster starts a campaign on Twitter to try to prevent the appointment.

15:45: Spanish cluster leader alerts Integrity Initiative UK Team which activates the Integrity Initiative network to generate international support for the Twitter campaign

UK team creates a WhatsApp group to coordinate the Twitter response, get contacts on Twitter to spread awareness and get people retweeting the material.

Publishes opinion piece by Nico de Pedro on StopFake’s Spanish website, which was also retweeted by key influencers.

Cluster send material to El Pais and El Mundo to publish and alert contacts at UK and French Embassies.

Outcome

By 19:45 Spanish Cluster assesses that the campaign has generated significant noise on Twitter. Contacts in the Socialist Party confirm that the PM has received the message. Some Spanish diplomats also express concerns

#13 Kinda like reading RT.com

Ukraine may use 'nuclear blackmail' to get more money from West – Moscow

Biden administration tears into Russia for using photos of Slovenian smoke detectors to suggest they have 'proof' Ukraine can make a dirty bomb

#14 Mi6 not only use Applebaum, Browder, Jankowicz, the “Atlantic Council” Ukraine-propaganda racket and dozens of other media shills as disinformation tools; they’ve got their tentacles into Facebook’s executive team.

Here’s the story of Ben Nimmo, Facebook/Meta’s
“Global Threat Intelligence Lead for Influence Operations”

At the time of the leak, Ben Nimmo worked for a group called the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab). The DFRLab is a subsidiary of the Atlantic Council, an NGO which is also funded by the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, NATO, and the State Department. The group brags that it has “operationalized the study of disinformation by exposing falsehoods and fake news.”

You know what that means: Nimmo and DFR have become notorious for accusing all sorts of journalists and even random civilians of being “Russian bots.”

The Integrity Initiative’s leaked handbook identified Ben Nimmo’s DFR Lab, along with Buzzfeed and a handful of other organizations, as friendly outlets to rely upon when conducting its influence operations.

What is Ben Nimmo’s current position? If you guessed that Ben Nimmo now works at Facebook and helps to lead Facebook’s global threat intelligence strategy against influence operations, you’d be correct.

#22 I read that exact opposite propaganda yesterday.

I was reading that the Polish Troops in UKR Uniform on the ukr front line, I was reading the Poles were having 'morale issues' after a large portion of their company were killed/injured. The Poles were refusing to return to the front so UKR sent in Azov hardboys to improve the Pole's spirits.

#24 Black Bart,

Let me ask this - if MI5 is so fiendishly clever (and let's face it; they ain't bad at what they do), how is it that their home country is facing rolling blackouts this winter and has issues keeping anything resembling a solid defense?

Mike

#25 ^ They aren't about what's good for the UK, they are about what's good for them. If the bottom drops out, they all have foreign bank accounts.

Honestly. If you have to ask...
