    It's all over the news, but it's an edited version, that looks as though the tank just took a random turn to squash the car, when in reality, it had gone in to the are to help colleagues whose truck had been immobilised by cross fire, and came under heavy fire themselves, which is what they were maneuvering away from. Apparently they're not that easy to control at speed on tarmac.

    Anyone done any proper digging on these images to see if it's just a balls up with the photos?




    EDIT: This one is certainly a fake. It was made up by gamers each time just to see how silly the media are.
    Bernie Gores is dead again, this time killed by a landmine in Ukraine.
    According to the Althea Group, “The meme was shared widely within Reddit’s gaming and streaming communities; the comments on manoffat’s post include continuation of the meme and celebration that it was shared on a mainstream platform like Twitter. Reddit users on the r/wingsofmeme thread recalled other escalations of trolling against Wings, including when his image was put on a list of missing persons following the Beruit blast.”

    It came up Thursday on Reddit and other social media sites and now being used to trick people into thinking the story of Bernie Gores is a real one and that the media has been using Gores as a stock photo and propaganda piece.

    This time, reported by a fictional account, CNN Ukraine, Gores was killed by a mine planted by the Russian invaders.


    The story of Bernie Gores, all of them are completely false, intended as a prank and meme. Only time will tell which far off country Bernie Gores dies in next.

    How are FIFA even still letting Russia compete in the World Cup?
    Even if the rest of the world isn't interested, I'm sure UEFA countries threatening to withdraw will be enough to kick out Russia.

    Completely the wrong tack on Ukraine. I've not got a dog is this. afaics Ukraine is just another far away country of which we know nothing. Most folk here will be more concerned about 10p going on the price of petrol than who is running the joint. But...if you want to cause mayhem don't send a bunch of Melchetts to give advice. Recruit a couple of dozen retired Provo commanders and send them. Target the officers in guerrilla warfare..just sayin'

    Time for the West to make sanctions bite. No trade with Russian owned or based businesses. Russian citizens thrown out of countries unless they can show they are at risk from Putin. Russian citizen's assets frozen.
