Gone at the way a Russian bot has named himself after Bobby the brain Heenan.

Saw this on twitter so must be true...

Don't quote that loon dude. He's a mentalist.

Hi Bobby, I too have decided to shun mainstream media for their lies and I need some advice. How does a rookie truthseeker like myself find real and accurate news sources such as this muscular penguin on Twitter?

Muscle bound + cartoon character = not a sheeple

Ukrainian counter offensive to retake Kherson is believed to be underway.

Looks like they took out the Radio tower in Kherson that was pumping out Russian propaganda.

‘Mon the Ukes!

That's the sort of pettiness I can get behind.

If these figures are anywhere near the losses Russia has suffered this invasion has been an absolute disaster for Russia. Over 22,000 personnel lost!

From the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In Kamyshin, an 11-year-old teenager was registered for “discrediting the Russian army”

In the city of Kamyshin, Volgograd Region, police officers put an 11-year-old schoolboy on a preventive record, who, according to the police, disseminated “information aimed at discrediting the use of the Russian Armed Forces” on a social network. A raid on the social networks of schoolchildren was carried out as part of the regional operational and preventive measure "Your Choice", the regional portal Infokam reports .

In addition to “discrediting the Russian army,” employees identified and blocked 13 messages and posts of “illegal, suicidal, extremist orientation that promote criminal subcultures” on teenagers’ social networks and instant messengers. Blockages are mentioned in a press release from the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Volgograd Region.

According to the press service, the “Your Choice” event was held from April 14 to 22, 2022 and was aimed at “neutralizing attempts to involve minors in destructive, including extremist and terrorist activities, as well as in illegal mass actions.” In just a week, police officers conducted 2,045 lectures and talks with minors, and checked 1,466 families registered with juvenile affairs units.

As a result of the event, two teenagers were placed in a temporary detention center for juvenile offenders. They conducted educational activities with them to "develop law-abiding behavior and form an intolerant attitude towards extremism."

Of course it's a grim day in Ukraine.

Instead of trying to enjoy spring breaking through the cold of winter and getting on with life, they're in a goddamn war due to the megalomaniac leadership of the country next door. How could it be any more grim when your country's people are dying needlessly and your country is turning to rubble?

'I Need Some Corpses': Ukrainian Recounts Russians Staging Fake Executions

A Ukrainian man has recounted how Russian troops told him he was about to be executed, before firing close to his ears. He said he was one of a number of men subjected to fake executions in this way while being held captive in a basement.

A decent analysis in here.

Appraising the War in Ukraine and Likely Outcomes - Foreign Policy Research Institute

Despite pessimistic pre-war scenarios regarding its ability to defend itself, the Ukrainian armed forces have blunted the advance of Russian Federation forces

www.fpri.org

Which scenario is most likely to occur? Russia faces a myriad of daunting tactical, logistical, manpower, and morale challenges in continuing the war, but it is not impossible for it to annex portions of Ukraine if its army and national will remain intact. However, under the best circumstances, what Russia would “win” would be an occupied population seething with resentment and offering years of resistance, a West united against Russia, and an economic future for Russia that is really no future. Russia’s only hope for “victory” is for Ukraine to become exhausted before it does, but even this type of victory would redefine the term “Pyrrhic.” More likely Russia will either see its invasion eventually repelled or will have to compromise at the negotiating table. Either event would cause seismic waves inside Russian society and body politic. That much of the canvas is clear after six weeks.

I mean, surely you can see it's obvious that's not the President of Ukraine? That picture will be a few years old.

I've also noticed you've not made one single Everton post on here - and your contributions seem to be just endless, factually incorrect Tweet embeds. It's not ideal, really mate.

Do football fan forums get bots or trolls to influence them?

In which case, they really need to up their game.
