    The police went to apprehend the female suspects at a private house in Yalta but were surprised to find them “well armed” and “well prepared,” the post said.

    You are surprised that two resistance fighters who risked their lives to kill the invaders were prepared for shit to get hot?..

      “The free world”? Seriously? It would help to not think of the world only in terms of heroes and villains.

        No one said “free world is blameless.”

        You inferred it somehow and railed against what no one said. Many do, however, identify most closely with nations not ruled by an autocrat or dictator.

        That the liberal countries are most likely to reject the invasion of another free country is not surprising and the “free world” is an apt descriptor for which countries are most likely to support Ukraine.

        But “free world” doesn’t mean blameless. No one asserted that.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Ukrainian saboteurs who are alleged to have poisoned and killed 46 Russian soldiers are on the run in annexed Crimea after a shoot-out with police, a local report says.

    Two young saboteurs who had poisoned members of the Russian military in Simferopol and Bakhchisarai fled when authorities attempted to detain them in Crimea, Telegram channel Kremlin Snuffbox said on Tuesday.

    It was reported in December that members of a Ukrainian partisan group called Crimean Combat Seagulls poisoned and killed 24 Russian soldiers after lacing their vodka with arsenic and strychnine.

    At the time, Snuffbox quoted unnamed sources as saying that “two nice girls” tricked the unit in Simferopol, Crimea, into drinking the vodka, per the Kyiv Post translation.

    In another incident, saboteurs killed 18 and hospitalized 14 Russian personnel in Bakhchisarai, Crimea, by putting arsenic and rat poison in pies and beer, Kremlin Snuffbox previously reported.

    Russian military personnel stationed in Crimea have been asked not to take any food or any drinks from strangers and to detain any suspicious young women who approach them to prevent further incidents of poisoning,

        That’s true… Because biologically as men, we want to believe in them. We inherently cut them more slack.

        Women in every professional position: Are you sure about that?

        I mean when a woman has hobbies or interests men would think it is impossible for her to have those 😂

          Yeah, that’s not what I’m saying. And if you want to try using the revised point, I made because clearly I didn’t make myself clear the first time.

        Do you have a source for that? Your claim is suspiciously close to incel talking points and seem to contradict a lot I’ve seen about the amount of trust people have in the word of a woman compared to that of a man. I’d like to know if you are correct, but as it stands I’m doubtful.

          “All of history’s greatest assassins have been women.”

          Quote from Destroy All Humans!.

            I don’t think that supports the claim at all. It might as well be due to women being seen as insignificant and incapable, not necessarily trustworthy or worth listening to. I don’t doubt that societal views of women could make them better assassins or spies, but that it should be due to mans inherent want to listen and believe them seems dubious to me.

              It’s a quote from a video game.

              Of course it doesn’t support the claim, lol. That was the point :)

              The fuck is a ‘great’ assassin, anyways? How do you measure that? Kill count? Kill quality? Not getting caught? That would immediately hurt anyone who is known. Lol.

                Aah sorry, I responded a bit too quickly there :) I’d excuse it by nearing my stop with the train, but I should have read it through.

                Yeah, I think the greatness of an assassin is quite subjective in the end and might be more of a vibe with arguments for it than any concrete metric.

        Didn’t see your original comment, but in case it was something like “women are perceived as more trustworthy than men”, it doesn’t seem like the study you linked to supports this idea, and it considers “trust” at a much broader, non-individual scale.

          No, I poorly worded that the first time which gave it the wrong connotation. I think it’s just better to remove everything and forget this ever happened.

    Can’t decide if Crimean Combat Seagulls or Kremlin Snuffbox should be the name of the screenplay (or my new band name)
