Zelensky took Zaluzhniy to task, but the general shrugged off his criticism, according to three people familiar with the exchange. Zaluzhniy told Zelensky that the sabotage team, once dispatched, went incommunicado and couldn’t be called off because any contact with them could compromise the operation.
“Oops” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Except for the German federal prosecutors, Dutch officials, former Ukranian commander in chief, and the sabotage team themselves, I suppose you’re right.
Days after the attack, in October 2022, Germany’s foreign secret service received a second tipoff about the Ukrainian plot from the CIA, which again passed on a report by the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD. It offered a detailed account of the attack, including the type of boat used and the possible route taken by the crew, according to German and Dutch officials.
Inasumuch as you can have a source for a covert operation after the fact.
Ukranian special ops, acting on their own
Edit: Story
I’ve been waiting for everyone around me to “understand computers” for forty years.
No luck. They’re just as clueless as they have ever been.
You’d think I’d be less boggled by it now, but nope.
I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple of years and, for me, it’s so boring. Been on Bluesky for about a week. I currently have more followers and am following more than I ever did on Mastodon.
To me, that’s an argument for Mastodon.
See - mastodon doesn’t have this. This corporate how-to.
Did I ever tell you kids about the sixties??
Before the Filet-O-Fish, McDonald’s sold “the Hula Burger”, which was a grilled ring of pineapple on a toasted bun. For all the Catholics who practiced “meatless” Fridays. . . .
. . . Is this the aiop communi- . . Oh.
Ummmm. Sssssorry.
What a coincidence - I, too, make a daily trip to the chip “factory”.
Ok, cupboard. But y’know.
None of those men are as strong as she is.
Hey now, someone who knows almost nothing is just asking questions here.
Read this book, it’s the story of L. Ron Hubbard, the god of Scientology and tells you everything you want to know.
Watch this series about life in Scientology and you’ll get the idea pretty quickly.
TL;DR/DW: Get her away from him asap
The person who found him marked the event by saying, “Hi ho! Kermit the Frog here”
Because no one made a droolproof guide to migrating to Mastodon and Bluesky put money into it.
For people who can’t remember their password, it’s preferable.
I know it’s hard to imagine but there are people further to the left of rich corporate Democrat libs.
I seriously don’t know anyone who uses “libs” in any sense other than to imitate trolls and right-wing nutjobs.
They fucked up and they need to learn from their mistakes
Very genocide Joe of you. Zero help, all bitching. It’s genuinely shocking this . . . what politics are you supposedly representing again? . . . Anyway, it’s surprising that it hasn’t skyrocketed in popularity. Must be those rich Democrat libs and their (((media))) stranglehold, am i right? Lotsa (((globalists))) in there, aren’t there. Yeah. You know what i’m talkin about. You get it. They need to learn, y’know. Them.
Or you can just call anyone who calls you out a Trumpist, change nothing, and keep losing.
Calls me out for what. Voting for Harris? Yeah you got a built-in posse for that now too, don’t ya. You get to rub ethos with your favorite Ohio sheriffs. Speaking of changing nothing, you can claim ignorance, or moral superiority, or intellectual purity, or whatever purity you claim to wield, but the fact is your (in)actions have bought you and the rest of us four years of drowning in shit and since you’re not willing to see that, we’ll probably do it again in four years.
You wanna get Bernie or AOC on the ticket? I’d love to see it. But we both know if it happens you’ll have nothing to do with it. What happens when they compromise with some entity that’s not as pure and authentic as you? When they accept corporate money? Horrors! You’ll be forced to shit on them too, and find new symbols for your paper-thin, skewed, losing takes on national politics.
Surely they published a front page retraction and apology.
I agree. I also didn’t see it in the article -?
If you want to find German federal prosecutor records, or Dutch itelligence reports - I’m not sure where to go for those.
It pains me to say this but the WSJ, while being a Murdoch rag and certainly guilty of ridiculous bias in the way it reports things, isn’t really known for making up things whole cloth like the Daily Mail or something.
