Reinforced concrete shelters will be installed across the Kursk region, local Russian authorities announced Thursday as Ukraine keeps up its daring attack on Moscow’s territory.
“Today we began to install reinforced concrete shelters in Kursk. On my instructions, the Kursk city administration identified key points for placing concrete modular shelters in crowded places,” Aleksey Smirnov, Kursk’s acting governor, said in a statement.
Ukraine’s surprise cross-border incursion earlier this month caught the Russians on the hop, and Kyiv’s forces have expanded their offensive, capturing more towns and territory with little resistance.
The tankies love demanding proof.
And generally they want proof that one specific thing literally happened when that isn’t really the issue.
“Oh yeah? Quote Xi Jinping saying he doesn’t like being compared to Winnie the Pooh!”
… dunno if there’s a quote of it. but like… Winnie is one of the most heavily censored things in china.
Which is funny. Because Pooh is cute, and aside from being a bit daft, isn’t particularly offensive. Now… Erdogan has it bad. he Keeps having to have people arrested for being compared to gollum.
Right. That’s what I’m saying. They demand proof of something that you don’t need to bother proving because that specific thing does not matter.
We always have that video of Erdogan getting kicked in the nuts by that horse, at least
I’m gonna need a link on that.
You know. For, uhm, a study on internet censorship.
Also, uhm, anyone know a good AI to change Someone’s voice into a high pitched gollum voice….
…. Asking for a friend….
Got you
Oh that’s even better than I imagined.
Yeah because Winnie the Pooh is an American propaganda machine. Show me a quote of xi jumping saying that it is because he doesn’t like being compared to a cartoon bear!
(I’m cosplaying as a lemmy.ml)
Can’t be a big bad dictator while being compared to a silly cartoon bear. Compare Tim Walz to Winnie the Poo, and he’d probably run with it.
Bro, there are people in a local groupchat that think the great leap forward was a good thing and are self-proclaimed history buffs obsessed with the years 1939-1945, specifically in Russia and China.
They harken back to it as a better time, not realizing the irony of it while being a queer American. It’s exquisitely painful to watch 💀
I always confront those people with “and what do you think would happen to YOU in such a place? History doesn’t think it will be good” but then they double down or make some mental gymnastic leap to why it’s okay.
Surely the leopards won’t eat THEIR face.
And then proof does not come from a Tankie Wiki or a blatant APT run website - “lol fucking fake disinfor libtard”.
It’s not like they’ll believe it anyway.
Sometimes of the most trivial things.
A conservative once asked me for proof that bikes have a lower co2 manufacturing footprint than a car. It’s funny how they tend to share tactics.
LOL. Let me go ahead and apply for a grant to get that study done for you.

They aren’t, but if you’re unable to produce a peer reviewed study showing this, then you “lose” the argument. And even then, it’s probably the result of Marxist college indoctrination.
It’s pure sophistry. It’s taking the form of a rational argument while strangling its purpose.
Sea lions gotta sealion.
Sea lioning, for those curious what it’s called.
I had no idea it had a name. Good to know.
Can you back up this claim…?
