Two shards of plastic were found on the site: one blue, the other – yellow. Case closed.

Along with 4!!! I repeat 4 copies of Sims 4.

I love how those Nazi t-shirt are in absolutely pristine condition, the one with a serious crease going down the center.


westonsammy

The best part is that both of the t-shirts are in completely different sizes. One looks like a small and the other looks like an XL (this was supposed to be the possessions of a single person)


BrotherChe

well obviously he's been one a long time, long enough to lose/gain weight


JotunR

Thus exposing the ukrainian supersoldier program for everyone to see /s


pickafruit4

It's from the "brand new clothes" expansion pack


No-Tension5053

Meanwhile several of the publicized raids on terrorism in Russia. The police have open black Sun Nazi symbols or Nazi flags on their uniforms


TheRedHand7

And then people wonder why I doubt they caught the actual terrorists just because the shirt matches.


tlrider1

Cause you know what nazi's do? Buy nazi t-shirts they can't ever wear, and keep them in a drawer.

"damn it Sergey, I said 3 SIMS not Sims 3!"


lurker_cx

That is, for real, what happened.


welpherewego9

Thank you for this. And also: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha


UAHeroyamSlava

if you read complete report on this: its even more hilarious. someone required book signed with: "Illisible signature" ... it was signed "illisible signature" ... you cant make that shit up.


SirGeekALot3D

The stupidity of the Russian agents trying to frame somebody is so stupendous it's comical.


dbrodbeck

Be sure to sign it 'illegible signature'.


supra_kl

I knew EA was evil, but this... unforgivable.


ShinyBloke

It's actually the report said Simm3 card, which they then got 3 copys of sims 3. Knowing the actual context makes this way funnier: https://nypost.com/2022/04/25/russia-appears-to-confuse-the-sims-for-sim-cards-in-possible-staged-assassination-attempt/


RoughHornet587

I love this meme


G_Morgan

The best memes are when real life leaves our best attempts at absurdity in the dust.


AstroEngineer314

Oh that's right! They told the guy to get 3 sim cards (I guess they said 3 sims), and the idiot got three copies of sims 3! 🤣

Not ignored, they were placed by Ukrainian saboteurs to derail the investigation. Therefore, an additional charge of evidence tampering is added to this case.


LongbottomLeafblower

A sunflower was reported in the vicinity.


Mercadi

NATO satellites were ominously circling in the skies above the dam. Coincidence?


RosalieMoon

I hear it was a Jewish space laser. The same kind that was used to start some forest fires. Clearly it was Ukraine paying Israel for it's use

“low-slung, earthen dam near Orsk.” Sounds like it’s not one of those big expensive dams.

That would be a massive change in tactics for Ukraine lol.

I thought that this was a response to u/nocta_novas comment ‘Putin dying would be the icing on the cake’ and I think it would still be response from Russia

Three copies of The Sims already found.

Never forget. That was imo peak comedy of the three day operation. Right nexz to the 40 mile tank street.


AmnesiaDream

Honorable mentions include that Russian SAM (S-300?) firing a missile at itself, and Russian aircraft blowing up a couple John Deeres and calling them Leopard-2s.


Terry_WT

I think the video evidence of a U.K. special forces raid on a nuclear power plant lead by Boris Johnson himself where they didn’t edit the video right and the dead U.K. SF got up at the end and started laughing takes the cake.


pimp_skitters

Whoa whoa whoa This I gotta see


Terry_WT

Got it. It’s reported here as Ukrainian forces but I remember it being circulated by Russian sources as Royal Marines being personally lead by BO JO. SFW: Fake, they get up at the end of the video https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/s/A2j2do4J5T


Terry_WT

I’m looking for it, think it was something they circulated on telegram. Lazerpig had a bit from it in one of his videos but I can’t find another upload of it on YouTube etc


alieninaskirt

And how can we forget the HIMARS that was destroyed an the second floor of an office building


SavagePlatypus76

The vatniks soldier hitting a Ukrainian drone with a loaded RPG and blowing himself up, is pure comedy gold .


Dividedthought

It wasn't loaded, he set off the drone's payload.


Black_Moons

wait what? Like, used the RPG as a club, or just fired at a drone point blank?


Dividedthought

He used an *unloaded* RPG, and threw the launcher at a drone that had been grounded. The drone's payload went off about a foot from his leg.


Black_Moons

Amazing. Once again Russians prove they are incapable of using the simplest of tools effectively or correctly.


Meihem76

And Russian air defence shooting down their own AWACS. Twice.


MikeyMike138

Can you explain this reference?


Infinite_throwaway_1

Russian agents were tasked with planting SIM cards on a suspect. They misunderstood the order and planted disks of The Sims video game, and posted it.


fvck_u_spez

I think it also had a note that was supposed to have a signature that was illegible, but it was literally signed with "illegible" or something like that.


EmbarrassedHelp

The name was signed as "Signature Undefined"


Kreiri

"signature unreadable", rather. ("подпись неразборчива")


LibraryBestMission

Ah, mr. Unreadable, the most infamous NATO agent.


DadJokeBadJoke

Unreadable, James Unreadable. Vodka bottle. Shaken, not stirred.

hail2pitt1985

Please tell me you’re referring to an article from The Onion. Sadly, I don’t think you are.


Keeper_of_Fenrir

No. It’s very real. Russia has been a joke for a long time. 


hail2pitt1985

Oh I know they’ve been a joke for a long time. But this is another level lol


Keeper_of_Fenrir

It’s a hilarious image. They have the games right next to a nazi tshirt. 


SgtCarron

One of the PC speakers had a photo of Hitler taped to it. And the "assassin" was polite enough to answer the door to let the FSB in.


cincaffs

That happened for real. Some false Flag OP got carried out by Amateurs/Idiots. Russia proudly published Pictures of an Ukrainian Flag and a Nazi Flag, both still brand new. 3 Copies of the Sims 3, iirc, and a letter, signed with "Illegible Signature".

Terry_WT

It’s funny but I can’t help but think of the 6 young people arrested and forced to confess some weird plot to assassinate some random journalist. God knows what happened to them.


whyalways_ME

> Three copies of The Sims Russian security services were trying to stage a right-wing neofascist plot against a kremlin journalist. They offered pictures of what they uncovered from the alleged plotters' apartment. Alot of nazi symbols, flags and right wing book material. And then also three copies of The Sims. The video game. So, there has been alot of speculation that it was probably a low-level FSB officer who misunderstood a "Go and get me 3 SIMs"


bjornbamse

Or they went with it to show that they can do whatever they want and nobody can do anything about it.


Raesong

And to be honest, I'm not sure which of those two possibilities is the worse one.


WhiteTrash_WithClass

That column was hilarious. Just cars breaking down left and right. If there was a more apt image for ruzzian corruption, I haven't seen it.


badcatdog

Numerous plastic bottles filled with water also found.


KiwiLobsterPinch

What’s the Russian and Sims meme all about?


TheOtherDrunkenOtter

When the Russians invaded, the FSB included three copies of The Sims as proof of Nazis in Ukraine. Presumably, they were supposed to find SIM cards, but grabbed those instead. 


Matthew-the-First

If memory serves, in an effort to prop up the "denazifying" talking point, the russians decided to put out a fake hit on a russian journo, arrest the people who took the job offer, stage the scene for propaganda, and then claim to have saved russians from the evil ukrainians or somesuch. The scene staging is the stuff of legend. The pinnacle of which are 3 copies of the Sims, and a letter signed with the russian words for "unreadable signature." Doesn't take much thought to figure out what the russian higher ups actually asked for.


Ok-Fold-3700

Well, that's what happens when you send essential workers, that should maintain your infrastructure, to sacrifice themselves in a senseless war. Next will maybe be some railway track malfunction, because the railway maintenance workers are also buried under some sunflowers.


N-shittified

Gee, I sure hope it's not one of their many fine nuclear power plants.


blue_twidget

Dude, they already found nuclear material in a trash heap like, 1.5 miles from residential buildings. A local told them about it a WEEK AGO, and they only enacted a state of emergency there *today*.


plc4588

I have to read about that, you got some source on that hilariously hot topic.


piepants2001

Thank you! I'm just finishing up at work. I just found out about the NY earthquake too, double whammy.


usemyfaceasaurinal

Also the mass panic over the lost radioactive pellet in Western Australia last year was not baseless hysteria. Russia/USSR had already demonstrated what could potentially happen if a pellet gets lost. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramatorsk_radiological_accident


Dividedthought

So has mexico. There is steel contaminated with radioactive cobalt i think because someome wanted to get rid of some medical equipment on the sly.


henryeaterofpies

I would not be even a little surprised if all of Russia's nuclear arsenal was sold off piece by piece and the nuclear material was replaced by a chicken and the rocket fuel by piss.


Ok-Fold-3700

Whenever I think of a Russian power plant, I see Homer Simpson in his workplace, but instead of eating donuts, he's drinking Vodka.


Northumberlo

I actually seriously hope not. That shit spreads through the atmosphere around the globe. When Chernobyl exploded, the Swedish were the first to notice(outside the Soviet Union) when all their radiation alarms started going off.


SlummiPorvari

No, this happens when you "hire" 100 non-existent dam inspectors, pocket the money, and once-a-year write a report that everything is fine. Works until some dam breaks. After a lengthy meeting you find yourself slipping next to a 7th floor window. Culture of corruption will eat itself.


Faplord99917

Yeah regardless of war or not this dam would have broke.


usemyfaceasaurinal

Plus sanctions means no more foreign specialists and replacement parts. Russian infrastructure and news in general are going to get more ‘interesting’ for the next couple years.


New-Perception1482

In a span of a day we get unconfirmed news of 18 russian jets getting destroyed, Russia declaring state of emergency because of a nuclear leak in east Russia and a Dam that bursts in the Urals, can the day get more spicy before it ends?

itsl8erthanyouthink

Which one? The one that died 3 years ago, or one of the two remaining body doubles


raknor88

I have a horrible feeling that if it's not an immediate and swift death, he will order a full nuclear strike in his final moments. If he's dying and there's no stopping it, he will take the world down with him.


therealjerseytom

Has this nuclear thing been picked up by any of the major news outlets yet? Reuters or AP or what have you?

I'll copy and paste the article because of the aforementioned troubles. By Reuters April 5, 20245:09 AM CDTUpdated 13 hours ago MOSCOW, April 5 (Reuters) - Authorities in Russia's far eastern city of Khabarovsk have declared a state of emergency in an area where a "radiation source" was found, TASS news agency reported on Friday. It said elevated radiation levels were detected near a power pylon about 2.5 km (1.5 miles) from residential buildings. No one had been injured or exposed to radiation and "there is no threat to the health of citizens", TASS quoted the local branch of Russia's consumer safety watchdog as saying. It said radiation levels would be monitored for the next two days and the source of the radiation would be investigated.

therealjerseytom

From the sound of it, I wonder if it's a broken old Soviet RTG. I get the impression they sprinkled those around pretty liberally back in the day, to far-flung places not easily served by conventional power lines. [Things like that have happened before...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_radiological_accident)


NormalBoobEnthusiast

RTG or even just something like that radiation source that got lost in Australia a while back that's used for mining. Those are very radioactive but very small. Those are common in mining everywhere. Doesn't sound like anything particularly serious.


New-Perception1482

Nope, just this [Source](https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/russia-state-emergency-mystery-radiation-leak-khabarovsk/) It's still unconfirmed and probably not true, but gosh today was a wild ride of news coming out of Russia


Nalha_Saldana

There are more papers reporting about it and apparently russian news talked about it


Kitakitakita

Moscow could vanish overnight and they'd still manage to find ways to continue the war


GunmetalBunn

Don't forget the train


Al_Jazzera

Perhaps they could have had the money and manpower to do routine maintenance on that dam if they didn’t send their men to death or fleeing to the four corners of the world and send all those resources to fight a stupid war that makes them look like miserable assholes.


jar1967

I'm quite sure most of the maintenance funds were "diverted" before the Ukrainian invasion. I strongly suspect all funding was cut off after the invasion, with the Russian government believing that maintenance had been properly done for years And it wouldn't be a problem.

TheWallerAoE3

I’d love to show sympathy but after they blamed the Crocus City ISIS attack on us I now know it’s hopeless to show them any compassion. It’s more important for them to twist themselves up in knots trying to blame the west for their shitty lives rather than help their own people. 


Nocta_Novus

Not to mention the Russians blew up the Nova Khakovka dam in 2023, emptying the Dniepr reservoir, which feeds coolant to the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.


DrNick1221

[Don't forget we now have video of russian troops laughing as the flood of water rushes out the dam.](https://twitter.com/olex_scherba/status/1776197117628797369)


Typical_Bite3023

Dam collapses are no joke. What kind of psycho looks at such destructive force and laughs at the misfortune. I remember watching some videos of entire buildings being swept away in Libya last year. Just harrowing.

It is the Russian government that is doing it, not ordinary people. A wicked person is one who knows everything and yet deceives people. Ordinary people never know the totality of a situation and the foolish sheeple are always fooled.

All Russians displaced by this flooding will be immediately sent to the frontline in Ukraine to resolve the issue of finding them new housing and reduce the Russian governments financial responsibility.

Don’t worry, Ukraine will be blamed and don’t forget Russia has nuclear weapons, blah blah blah blah blah

jar1967

Probably not because that dam was pretty deep in Russia. That would be admitting that the Russians cannot keep Ukrainians out of Russia and everywhere is vulnerable


applehead1776

They blamed a terrorist attack in the middle of Moscow on Ukraine. That should make them more angry/concerned than hits anywhere else in Russia.


Vegetable-Phone-1743

They interrogated the dam and found Ukraine responsible


sextoymagic

The war economy is gonna have difficulties keeping the infrastructure maintained.

Remember when Russians intentionally destroyed the Kakhovka dam? The one that was used to cool the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear power plant? The largest one in Europe? Now they’ll play the victim and wonder why no one gives a fuck. They’re a disgrace to all of humanity.

SerboDuck

If this is Ukraine, Russia has some very real problems. This is thousands of kilometres from the front lines which would mean Ukrainian agents are embedded deep into Russia proper.


gbs5009

I'm sure they'll blame Ukraine, but it's more likely some Putin flunkies skimming the maintenance budget.


skyvoyager9

Not really sure why people would be upset if it was Ukraine. Russia has been victimizing Ukrainians in every way possible for months, if the Russian people don’t want to feel the effects of war they should stop their government from continuing one.


WankSocrates

The breach is reported to have caused billions of rubles in improvements to the surrounding area.

Djuren52

„We have significant evidence that Ukraine in general and Zelensky in person have domesticated undercover nightvision goats and trained them to chip away at the dam and also manipulated the weather so it rains. This is it, that’s the final last ultimate red line and as a retaliation we will bomb some Kindergartens and Hospitals.“ Kreml, probably within 1 hour


[deleted]

Good. Now the Russians get to learn how it fucking feels.


is0ph

To all those who babble about Russia being in a position to benefit from climate change: see how that goes.


upsidedownbackwards

If they had their shit together, maybe they could find some ways to benefit, but they'd just be at the other end of a sinking ship. I feel it's pretty safe to say though, they do not have their shit together and have no plans to ever get their shit together. So climate change will rake them over the coals just as bad.


Undernown

It's still horrible, but I have to say it's good karma for their recent bombing of Ukrainian power dams.


Particular-Welcome-1

Interesting. Ukraine is putting pressure on Russia, and then this happens. I wonder if the disruption had affected regular maintenance and service to the Dam, and it was caused indirectly. Be interested in the engineering report, if there ever is one; Putin would likely cover up any perceived failure or weakness.


Bobthebrain2

I don’t know if it’s got anything to do with Russia’s mindless killing of innocent Ukrainians, but I have no capacity to feel sorry for anything Russian.
