  1. Democratic People's Republic of Livonia Country Profile The present borders of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia were established during the turmoil of the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s. The former Soviet Republic of Livonia declared its independence on August 26th, 1991. However, while the majority of the population was in favor of independence (72% pro-independence), a sizable portion of the region centered around Kaliningrad opposed it. This included the Soviet 11th Guards Army stationed in Kaliningrad, who proceeded to declare their loyalty to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, then still part of the USSR. While no shots were fired, roughly 1/4th of the region split off from the newly declared Republic of Livonia 5 days after the declaration of independence. With the fall of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic four months later, the breakaway region found themselves loyal to a state that no longer existed. Now the provisional government did declare its independence, this time from the Republic of Livonia, while claiming to be the successor state to the USSR. An authoritarian regime led by Nikolay Dragomirov was soon "elected" (independent observers found widespread incidents of voter fraud), which remains in power to this day. Photo of DPRL military on parade in 2017 with one of the ballistic missiles The international community does not recognize its self-declared statehood or the de-facto government, which remains in a stand-off with the Republic of Livonia. However, due to the nuclear stockpile that was seized from the former Soviet garrison in Kaliningrad, the state's borders and leadership have remained unchanged since 1991. There is a significant sanctions regime in place against the DPRL by Western countries, particularly after the 1998 underground nuclear test. That test was even enough to fray the DPRL's relations with the Russian Federation, which has since limited their political, economic, and military support for the regime, although they have not severed ties completely. It is estimated that the rogue quasi-state has between 40-70 tactical nuclear weapons and approximately 20 strategic nuclear weapons. And while the leader of this hermit kingdom has held on to power successfully and created a cult of personality around himself, his lack of an obvious successor and growing age has left many to wonder what comes next for the DPRL after he's gone?

  2. South Livonian Dictator Dies in Helicopter Crash In a sudden turn of events, the long-standing dictator of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia, Nikolay Dragomirov, was announced to have died in a helicopter crash thirteen miles East of Kaliningrad. After a day of complete communication blackout from the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia, all radio and television services were restored and began broadcasting a looped message from the Supreme Council of Livonia, the legislative body of the rogue state. In the message, they stated that "the country's beloved leader has tragically passed away in a helicopter accident". The message proceeded to state that the cause of the crash was still being investigated, and that "if any outside involvement in this appalling incident, there will be extreme consequences". Western analysts believe this is a thinly veiled threat to the quasi-state's nuclear arsenal. Photo released by DPRL media claiming to be the crash site While details are scarce regarding the crash, several of those who follow the DPRL professionally have pointed out that while Nikolay Dragomirov was often promoting a rabid anti-Western and capitalist stance, he often flew in a Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin, which had originally been sold to the quasi-state for search and rescue purposes. Given the recent tightening of sanctions against the DPRL two years ago, DPRL analyst Marius Tadesautis based in the ROL suspects it has likely become more difficult to procure spare parts for the helicopter. Whether this led to the crash remains unknown. "But what I do know," Marius said, "is that things will get very interesting along the Livonian DMZ. I just hope cooler heads prevail".

  3. BREAKING NEWS: US FORCES CAUGHT EXECUTING NORTH LIVONIAN CITIZENS! THE DEEP STATE’S DARKEST SECRET EXPOSED! Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves. What I’m about to tell you will shatter your reality and shake your core beliefs to the ground. A covert operation, carried out by none other than the U.S. military, has come to light – and it’s an atrocity so monstrous, so blood-chilling, that I can hardly believe the whispers and leaks flooding in from my sources. Right now, as we speak, the Deep State's shadowy puppeteers have orchestrated a HORRIFIC massacre of innocent North Livonian civilians at Mehland International Airport! You won’t hear this from the mainstream fake news media, because they are ALL in on it! The globalist cabal that controls Washington D.C. has ordered their troops—our troops—into a sovereign land, and instead of “protecting” democracy, they are slaughtering men, women, and children without mercy to justify intervention in the conflict between North and South Livonia! We’ve been warned for years about this—about the nefarious plans of the military-industrial complex and the unholy union of the tech oligarchs, foreign billionaires, and corrupt politicians. But this. THIS! This is beyond anything we’ve seen before. Forget the supposed WMDs in Iraq. Forget the false flags. This is REAL, folks! This is happening NOW. EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS BEING SUPPRESSED! Reports coming out of North Livonia indicate that American soldiers—following orders from the top—have opened fire on civilians at Mehland International Airport. Executing them on sight! My contacts have described harrowing scenes of entire families being lined up, shot in the back of the head, and left to rot. Sources on the ground are RISKING THEIR LIVES to get this information out, folks. Their messages are being intercepted, phones confiscated, and any attempt to expose the truth being shut down by military censors. You won’t find a SINGLE word of this in the fake news media—because THEY’RE ALL COMPLICIT! The global elites who own the corporate news outlets don’t want you to know the truth: this is about CONTROL. This is about turning South Livonia into a testing ground for their new weapons and testing the next phase of human enslavement! WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? I’ve been saying it for years—the globalists want chaos. They want destruction. They THRIVE on the blood of the innocents because it feeds their power. This massacre isn’t just some “military blunder.” NO! It’s a deliberate move in the long game of global domination. South Livonia has been strategically targeted for its resources, its independence, and its refusal to bow down to the New World Order. This false flag operation will be used as justification to intervene in the conflict to undermine the South Livonian government in their fight against the globalist cabal. WHAT COMES NEXT? Today it’s Livonia. Tomorrow? It’s YOU. Do you really think the bloodthirsty technocrats are going to stop overseas? This is the same military that’s being militarized on our streets right now! The same government that spies on us, censors us, and destroys anyone who dares to question their authority. This is all part of the same playbook, folks! THEY WANT YOU SCARED. They want you compliant. I’m here to tell you to WAKE UP SHEEPLE. The U.S. military, under orders from the Deep State cabal, is committing crimes against humanity, and if we don’t stop them NOW, the nightmare is coming for us next. FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS We need patriots to STAND UP and demand the truth. Spread the word and fight the censorship, and don’t let the globalists hide what’s happening in North Livonia! Share this with everyone you know. The time for action is NOW. THIS IS THE LINE IN THE SAND. Folks, the Deep State’s grip on power is slipping due to our valiant efforts, and they are willing to do ANYTHING to maintain control—even if it means sacrificing innocent lives in a distant land. But we, the people, are watching. And we WILL hold them accountable. Stay vigilant, keep your eyes open, and remember: the truth WILL set us free.

  4. Tensions Explode as South Livonia (DPRL) Launches Invasion of North Livonia: Naval Infantry Land in Mehland Province In a dramatic escalation of long-simmering hostilities, South Livonia, known officially as the Democratic People’s Republic of Livonia (DPRL), launched a surprise invasion of North Livonia. The incursion marks a dangerous turning point in the region’s stability, with fears of full-scale war looming larger than ever. The DPRL’s assault included a coordinated naval infantry landing in the Mehland Province, a strategically significant region that forms a coastal link to key North Livonian infrastructure. DPLR Naval Infantry Storms and Occupies Mehland Province The invasion began in the early hours of the morning, as DPLR naval infantry forces landed on the beaches of Mehland Province. The region has long been seen as a potential flashpoint due to its proximity to major North Livonian military installations and its access to vital sea routes aswell as a main civilian transport hub. According to initial reports, the DPLR deployed several waves of infantry and armored support, taking advantage of surprise and amphibious capabilities to quickly gain a foothold in the region. Eyewitnesses from Mehland described scenes of chaos as DPLR forces rapidly advanced inland. Explosions and the sound of heavy artillery were heard as North Livonian defenders scrambled to repel the assault. Videos of the artillery and rocket strikes are circulating online especially on the popular messaging app "Telegram". The situation on the ground is fluid, with no official statement yet from North Livonia’s military regarding territorial, manpower or equipment losses. Fighting Near International Airport Stokes Fears for Civilians One of the most alarming developments in the invasion is the reported fighting near the Mehland International Airport, which is situated in the middle of the province. The airport is not only a critical military target but also serves as a hub for civilian air traffic. Thousands of civilians were stranded at the airport when the fighting erupted, sparking widespread fear for their safety. While both sides have yet to confirm details, local residents and travelers shared harrowing accounts of hearing gunfire and artillery near the airport’s perimeter. As night falls, the situation remains highly uncertain, with the risk of civilian casualties becoming increasingly high as clashes continue. Emergency services are reportedly overwhelmed, and flights have been grounded as a precautionary measure due to reports of Anti-Air weaponry being used during the fighting. Train stations, ferry and bus services also came to a grinding halt as people are desperate to evacuate away from the frontline. Reports Emerge of North Livonian Frigate Sinking Adding to the already escalating crisis, reports have surfaced that a North Livonian frigate, the RLS Varagas , was sunk off the coast during the opening stages of the invasion. The details remain unclear, but sources suggest the frigate was hit by DPRL anti-ship missiles during the initial phase of the invasion. The loss of the vessel would represent a significant blow to North Livonia's naval capabilities, potentially giving the DPLR more control over the sea lanes vital to North Livonia's defense efforts. The status of the RLS Varagas crew remains unclear at this time as the North Livonia's Defense Ministry declined to comment on the developing situation. Claimed to be a picture of the RLS Varagas burning off the Mehland Coast White House Commited to Lasting Peace The White House Press Secretary, Melanie Stevens, denied to comment on the developing situation, but clearly stated, that "the White House seeks a swift end to the hostilities and is in talks with several key players in the region. The US remains commited to it's NATO alliance and it's affiliated partners such as North Livonia." Rising Tensions and the Road Ahead The invasion of North Livonia by the DPRL follows the death of Nikolay Dragomirov the quasi-state's dictator during a helicopter crash earlier this week. In an official statement DPRL leadership accused North Livionia of sabotaging the aircraft. North Livonia has categorically denied these allegiations. Many experts agree these claims are unsubstantiated. The international community, particularly neighboring states such as Poland, are now closely monitoring the situation, with many calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further bloodshed and avert a looming humanitarian crisis with the displacement of so many Mehland residents. For now, the future of North Livonia hangs in the balance. The invasion has thrown the region into turmoil, and it remains to be seen whether North Livonia's military can mount a successful defense or if the DPRL will achieve its ambitions. International efforts to mediate the conflict are expected to intensify, though with active combat operations underway, peace appears to be an elusive goal for the time being.

  7. U.S. Military Supporting Venezuelan Rebels; Incident Highlights Challenges in New Phase of Democratization U.S. military forces are now operating in northern Venezuela in direct support of the Transitional Council’s rebel forces, following the death of Nicolás Maduro and the collapse of his loyalist government in much of the country. Marines and other U.S. personnel are working alongside rebel units to secure key infrastructure, stabilize contested regions, and prepare for humanitarian operations. The Pentagon confirmed the mission, stating, “U.S. forces are operating in support of efforts to restore democratic governance, uphold security, and protect civilians in coordination with Venezuela’s internationally recognized Transitional Council upon their request.” American personnel can be seen alongside rebel checkpoints and facilities, operating under U.S. flags. However, this new mission has not been without complications. During a routine security operation north of Chinu, a U.S. Marine vehicle reportedly opened fire on a civilian car after the driver failed to comply with checkpoint instructions. Though no injuries occurred, the vehicle was heavily damaged and the incident has sparked local frustration. The civilian involved, Luis Herrera, a 62-year-old delivery driver, spoke angrily to local media: “I did nothing wrong. I slowed down and then even stopped the car about 200 metres from their checkpoint. They didn’t say stop, they didn’t say go, and then suddenly they opened fire, when I tried to turn around, like I’m some kind of criminal. I ran for my life!” Herrera expressed outrage that no one from the U.S. forces had apologized directly, adding, “I worked ten years to buy that car. Now it’s scrap metal because some foreign soldier got nervous. Additionaly, it took me hours to find my way out of the jungle and I missed my granddaughter's wedding in Montelibano because of all this!” Mr. Herrera at the site of the alledged incident U.S. military officials declined to comment directly on the reported incident near Chinu, citing policies against discussing ongoing operations. A Pentagon spokesperson stated, “We do not comment on the specifics of operational movements or engagements in areas where U.S. forces may be present in support roles. However, we take any allegations of harm to civilians seriously and expect all personnel to uphold the highest standards of conduct and established Rules of Engagement.” Officials emphasized that any U.S. presence in the region is strictly focused on security cooperation and humanitarian preparation, not on direct engagement with Venezuelan civilians. Regarding compensation for the damaged vehicle, officials said such matters would be handled through appropriate local or transitional authorities, not through U.S. channels. Mr. Herrera with his damaged vehicle Editorial: Venezuela and the Perils of Another U.S. Intervention The recent news that U.S. military forces are operating openly in northern Venezuela in support of the Transitional Council should give everyone reason to pause. History has shown time and again that even well-intentioned interventions can spiral beyond their original objectives, leaving behind instability, resentment, and unintended consequences. The U.S. mission in Venezuela is framed as supporting democracy, protecting civilians, and helping stabilize a broken nation. These are admirable goals — but they sound strikingly familiar. From Vietnam and Iraq to Afghanistan, the pattern is clear: initial success breeds mission creep, which causes mistakes in turn causing friction with the local population. Eventually the backlash against foreign troops grows and they become seen not as liberators but occupiers. Already, the signs are there. The minor incident at a checkpoint — a Marine vehicle opening fire on a civilian’s car — has sparked anger and distrust among Venezuelans simply trying to survive. For Luis Herrera, the civilian whose livelihood was wrecked through no fault of his own, this is not a humanitarian mission. It’s an occupying force breaking things and walking away. Multiply that frustration by a thousand small mistakes, and goodwill evaporates fast. America’s military presence may help secure the Transitional Council’s fragile hold on power for now. But Washington must ask itself the harder question: how long will we stay, and at what cost? Stability cannot be imposed at gunpoint, and democracy rarely takes root under the shadow of foreign boots. If the U.S. is serious about helping Venezuela, it must ensure its presence does not sow the seeds of the next insurgency. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

  8. South Livonia Attacks North, Hundreds Feared Dead The silence of the early morning hours along the Livonia DMZ was shattered by a series of artillery barrages and airstrikes as South Livonian forces launched a sudden attack across the quasi-border. Many believed that the rogue state, still reeling from the abrupt death of its dictator a few days ago, would be in disarray for some time to come. Instead, according to the Republic of Livonia's Ministry of Defense, the bulk of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia's armed forces attacked dozens of places along the DMZ. The ROL confirmed the presence of at least four DPRL Motor Rifle Regiments that have crossed the border in force, with more suspected of being not far behind. ROL forces near the DMZ under an artillery barrage The Pentagon was quick to comment in the initial hours of the attack that it is currently monitoring the situation and that while US forces are in the non-NATO country as part of a joint US-Republic of Livonian training scheme, no US forces are believed to be in combat at this time. A US destroyer is also reportedly operating in the Baltic off the coast, but the Pentagon stated that they would not be discussing precise deployments at this time. When asked how the DPRL could launch such a massive attack without any warning, representatives of the Intelligence Community said the current working theory is that several plans exist within the DPRL for a sudden attack and that one, or multiple were in effect. An emergency session of NATO has been called and the White House said the President had called the Livonian Prime Minister and the German Chancellor. ADA News Samuel Rutherford

All commands are to ensure OPSEC throughout rank and file. 3d MRB, A-Co with reinforced assets will immediately redeploy to the USS Kidd DDG-100, currently holding on the border of international waters offshore DPRL territory in the Baltic Sea, and will standby for imminent combat operations. 160th SOAR, 1st-BN and support will immediately redeploy to the 22nd Tactical Air Base in Malbork Poland and standby for imminent combat operations. Briefing to Follow: The Democratic Peoples Republic of Livonia (DPRL) has blamed the Republic of Livonia (ROL) for the death of their dictator Nikolay Dragomirov in a helicopter crash. Previous intel suggested a roughly even chance of civil war within the DPRL or an assault on the ROL. There are now confirmed reports of artillery barages into the ROL and appear to be preperations underway for further hostile action. USEUCOM is deploying USSOCOM assets to silence the artillery barrages and conduct kinnetic action designed to deter the DPRL from escalating into a larger conflict. The large scale deployment of US forces or a conventional conflict in Europe is not desired. Consequently, it is paramount to maintain a low profile during kinetic strikes and focus action on providing deterrents. Expect a full operational brief and specific near-term combat operations to be forwarded from EUCOM shortly. Good luck and Godspeed gentlemen. Signed, General Thomas A.

  10. DPRL forces on Saaremaa Island shells ROL mainland The inhabitants of Nida were awoken by the sound of artillery shells landing in the town's small industrial sector. ROL military officials are claiming that the shells were fired by DPRL artillery stationed on the Island of Saaremaa, just a short distance off the coast. ROL officials immediately attempted to contact DPRL opposites but have reportedly received no answer. ROL artillery units stationed at the nearby military base were ordered on high alert but had not yet returned fire at approximately 05:00. Many fear that this is retaliation from the claimed "assassination" of DPRL dictator Nikolay Dragomirov earlier this week. The ruler likely died in an accident with his private helicopter, but several DPRL outlets have been promoting the claim that the United States or the ROL killed him. Nida's proximity to the DPRL-ROL border and the nearby ROL military base has made it a target on a few occasions in the past. 2 Inhabitants were severely injured in a small artillery duel in 1997, two ROL soldiers were killed and another 3 wounded during a similar incident in 2001 and most recently in 2011 when a DPRL coastal patrol vessel ran aground near the town on the ROL side of the border and its crew was detained.

  15. WARNING ORDER MSOT 8311 Legion SITUATION: The situation in Venezuela has only further deteriorated, turning into an all-out civil war. While most of the Venezuelan armed forces remained loyal to Caracas and President Maduro, some did break away, and many ad-hoc militias have formed. Officially, while the United States has recognized the opposition group's Salvation Unity Government (SUG) as the legitimate government of Venezuela, we are not to engage any Venezuelan forces outside of a 4km exclusion zone from the San Antero Port. However, Washington has concluded that the SUG will not last long without support. As such, we have been ordered to provide clandestine support for the SUG forces outside of the exclusion zone. All ground forces are to ensure that there are no identifiable markings on their person that can tie them back to US military forces while deployed outside of the exclusion zone. ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO are elements of the 12th Caribbean Ranger, 13th Infantry, and 14th Mechanized Infantry Brigades, of the 1st Infantry Division of the Venezuelan Army, and the Venezuelan Air Force is theoretically capable of responding within 30 mins.

  16. U.S. Establishes Humanitarian Safe Zone Amid Escalating Venezuelan Crisis Venezuela has plunged into a full-scale civil war, with violent clashes erupting between government forces loyal to President Nicolás Maduro and a coalition of rebel factions demanding democratic reforms. The conflict has engulfed major cities, including Caracas, Maracaibo, and Valencia, leading to widespread destruction and a mounting humanitarian crisis. In response to the escalating violence and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, the United States has established a humanitarian safe zone near the city of San Antero. This zone aims to provide refuge for civilians fleeing the conflict and to facilitate the delivery of essential aid. The U.S. military, in coordination with international humanitarian organizations, is overseeing the operation, ensuring the safe passage of displaced individuals and the distribution of food, water, and medical supplies. The relief effort also includes the hospitalship USNS Comfort off the coast of Venezuela. The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory for Venezuela, citing extreme risks including wrongful detention, torture, kidnapping, arbitrary law enforcement, escalating crime, civil unrest, and unreliable healthcare. The advisory urges all U.S. citizens to avoid travel to Venezuela and recommends that those currently in the country depart immediately. President Maduro's government has condemned the U.S. intervention, labeling it a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. In a televised address, Maduro accused the United States of orchestrating a coup and called on loyalist forces to defend the nation against foreign aggression. The international community remains deeply divided over the crisis. While some nations support the establishment of the humanitarian zone as a necessary measure to alleviate civilian suffering, others view it as an infringement on Venezuela's territorial integrity. The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and urged all parties to engage in dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully. As the situation continues to evolve, the humanitarian toll is expected to rise, with thousands of Venezuelans seeking refuge in neighboring countries. The global community watches with growing concern, hoping for a swift resolution to the conflict and the restoration of peace in Venezuela.

  17. Domestic Situation Deteriorates in Venezuela as Caracas Calls American Strikes an Act of War The growing violence in Venezuela reached a new level yesterday as aircraft from the Venezuelan Air Force bombed several positions in the city of Valencia, killing several dozen. A spokesperson for the government said that the strikes were conducted against “armed insurrectionist groups who were attacking government troops”. Sources on the ground countered the claims, saying the targets were a first aid station and several gatherings of protestors. While the targets are disputed, the casualty count is confirmed to be at least 83 dead, 197 wounded, with the numbers expected to rise. The recent series of protests that began over a month ago has escalated several times, and analysts warn that the crisis is on the verge of descending into a full-blown civil war. Many fear this most recent attack will only push the possibility closer to reality. A photo claiming to be from San Antonio, Venezuela, as the clashes escalate Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the American retaliatory strikes on Venezuelan missile launchers, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro issued a statement that a “state of war now existed between the United States and Venezuela”. While claiming that the US was acting as “an imperialist power”, Maduro dismissed the US stance that it was responding to unprovoked aggression against its vessels. He went further to claim that any US aircraft or vessel detected within Venezuelan territorial waters or airspace will be attacked. Civilian flights have been cancelled to Venezuela, and maritime traffic is giving the Latin American nation a wide berth. The Pentagon confirmed that the US was moving the Arlington Amphibious Ready Group, consisting of two landing ships and several destroyers, into the region due to the increasing instability of the area and was ready to provide humanitarian aid. Additionally, rumors are swirling that the Organization of American States is considering recognizing the protest movement in Venezuela as the legitimate government. Brazilian sources reported that there was a push by both American and Brazilian representatives towards that goal, though both governments have neither confirmed nor denied that it is their official stance.

  19. American Cargo Ship Reported Seized Off Venezuelan Coast An American cargo ship, the Illinois Express, is reported to have been hijacked on its way to Aruba, 20 miles from Venezuela. The incident is reported to have occurred approximately 50 miles off the Venezuelan coast at 5:23 pm local time. The vessel’s crew reported that a pair of small boats were following them and that they had received hails from someone claiming to be “local authorities” demanding that they halt their vessel. An additional report from the ship stated that the small ships had fired warning shots and were attempting to board. No further communications were reported from the ship, though maritime tracking sites were able to ping the ship’s position traveling South towards Venezuela before its transponder was turned off. The Venezuelan government denied involvement in the reported hijacking, with a government spokesman claiming “the only pirates in the region are the US Navy”. The White House released a statement saying that they were monitoring the situation and were in contact with the ship’s owners and were attempting to establish a dialogue with the Venezuelan government. Archival photo of the Illinois Express (right) in Puerto Rico Venezuela, officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is in the grips of widespread unrest after a crackdown two weeks ago led to dozens of fatalities in Caracas, with many more reported, but unconfirmed, in other cities. Several opposition groups have declared the Maduro regime illegitimate in the face of the renewed violence and are calling for new elections. Attempts by the Organization of American States to negotiate between the two sides were flatly dismissed by the Venezuelan government as “unwarranted for an internal matter of national security”. While the United States and the European Union have issued statements of support for the opposition groups, the Russian Federation stated that “they would not tolerate another imperialist land grab by the United States and its puppets” as they announced their support of the Maduro regime.

  20. Venezuela in chaos as government is on the brink of collapse Over the last month the government of Nicholas Maduro, president of Venezuela, has been failing to come to grips with an ever increasing crisis. The country's economic stagnation and rampant corruption has seen harvests fail, oil revenues disappear into private pockets and demonstrations being brutally put down. The heavy handed response from the government has failed to restore order and instead only given rise to new, more intense protests which in many cases have turned into riots in the previous weeks. The government has been responding with ever increasing crackdowns, deploying riot police with water cannons and tear gas to forcibly disperse crowds. Last week President Maduro took a furhter drastic step in an attempt to come to grips with the escalating unrest. The military was called in to a major protest at the presidential palace in the capital of Caracas. Local police were overwhelmed and the military opened fire on the crowd leaving 12 dead and over 50 wounded with many of the wounded being women and children. This turned the protests and riots into proper acts of insurrection. Citizens armed themselves and have been attacking government buildings in large numbers. Often targeting police stations in order to acquire firearms in larger numbers. Venezuelan rebels outside Tucupido with captured firearms The current week has been marked by sporadic skirmishes in virtually all major Venezuelan cities as citizens acquire more and more firearms for themselves and launch ever bolder attacks on both police and military posts across the country. Reports are also coming in about police and soldiers defecting to the protestors further increasing their capacity to fight back against government supression attempts. Already various groups are stating their goal to overthrow the Maduro regime and establish a new government. At this point the US has made no official comment on the matter but undisclosed sources are claiming increased activity at marine and naval bases on the East coast. Simon Tam ADANews

  26. ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** Date: April, 25th, 2024 FROM: SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER EUROPE TO: ALL COMBATANT COMMANDS IN THE EUROPEAN AREA OF OPERATIONS Intelligence has determined with a high level of confidence that the leadership of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia has recovered the capability to deploy their nuclear force for offensive operations. CIA and NSA sources have intercepted orders from Kaliningrad to the 4th Rocket Brigade to begin dispersion and launch procedures. At this time, it is unconfirmed if the nuclear warheads have been mated with their launchers, but intelligence believes that to be an inevitability. Given past statements by the new leadership of the DPRL and the ongoing conflict, it is assessed that there is a high likelihood that the DPRL may attempt a nuclear attack on the Republic of Livonia or NATO countries. The DPRL possesses 55 tactical warheads (50-120kt yield) and 10 strategic warheads (250-330kt yield). The latter have a range of approximately 2000km and are capable of targeting sites as far away as Southern France. Efforts are underway to minimize this threat. Effective immediately, begin executing appropriate defensive deployment and preparatory actions pursuant to the tasks assigned in DODP 1983. Inform subordinate commands at once. A similar warning is being sent by the Department of Defense. Commander USAREUR inform the Livonians. All US bases in Europe are directed to take appropriate measures against possible nuclear attack. ***THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE*** Copy to Dept. of Defense ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC***

  27. Ah yes, the U.S. military is apparently holding public executions at a major airport in North Livonia, and the only people who seem to know about it are your “trusted sources” who, against all odds, managed to smuggle out this world-shattering revelation. Not a single camera, journalist, or government outside your inner circle caught wind of this massive atrocity. But of course, it’s all part of the globalist plan—to be as obvious as possible while somehow keeping it all under wraps. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for your brave service in exposing the invisible! Listening to Jones Alex is like trying to download logic on dial-up—it takes forever, and when it finally comes through, it’s completely scrambled!

  31. Central Intelligence Agency Top Secret - B3 Security Clearance Required Intelligence Report: Operation Watchdog 15APR24 Introduction: This document contains a verbatim transcript relayed through secure channels by [NAME REDACTED], codename "Fortuna," detailing a conversation between members of DPRL leadership on April 15th, 2024 aswell as a detailed analysis thereof. Location: DPRL Directorate Headquarters, Kaliningrad Participants: [REDACTED], "Fortuna" General Ludmil Kozlov, Head of DPRL Armed Forces Yevgeniy Petrov, Member of the Supreme Council Maksimilian Tukhachevsky, Head of DPRL Intelligence Transcript: Tukhachevsky: "...and I assure you, there’s no concrete evidence of sabotage. The preliminary report indicates a malfunction. The mechanics are inexperienced with that model of aircraft, typically handling Soviet-era helicopters. This seems more like a technical failure driven by incompetence. Ultimately he became a victim of his own vanity." Kozlov: "Nonsense! The flight recorder data shows a clogged fuel line leading to a fatal engine failure. This is a classic sign of sabotage - those expletive Americans and their ROL lapdogs! We can't afford to sit back. We need to retaliate swiftly and proportionally. I suggest we use our special forces to execute our own sabotage missions. This will send a message that they can’t toy with us." Tukhachevsky: "We can't jump to conclusions without the full report. It could easily have been a maintenance issue leading to the clogged line. Our supply lines for spare parts have been stretched thin, which led to non OEM parts being used for replacements - further compounding the issue. Acting now without evidence could backfire." Petrov: "Backfire? We look weak with every hour we delay. The people will think we're either incompetent or afraid of the ROL. This is about more than a faulty helicopter; it’s about control. If we don’t retaliate immediately, we risk chaos internally, not just politically but militarily. Strong action isn't a choice—it's a necessity! This is our time once and for all to set the record straight. Comrades, we need to seize this opportunity and restore the Soviet Union to it's former glory. This is the time to decide our fate." Tukhachevsky: "Strong action based on speculation is dangerous. If we miscalculate—" Petrov: "We can't afford to appear indecisive! If this was sabotage—and just like Comrade Kozlov pointed out: it most probably was— any hesitation will embolden the ROL and the US. Even if it wasn’t, they need to believe that we are willing to crush them at the slightest provocation. It's the only way to maintain our grip on power. The Supreme Council won't tolerate weakness. I won't tolerate it." Kozlov: "I agree with Petrov. We strike, now, while the fire is still hot. We'll send them a clear message that any attack - real or suspected, will be met with a proportional response." Petrov: "No, with overwhelming force." [Fortuna enters with tea.] Fortuna: "I’ve brought tea for the gentlemen." Verified and authenticated by Sarah Miller, Field Agent, Warsaw Station Source Criticism for "Fortuna": Reliability of Information: Source's Position: [Name Redacted] "Fortuna" is a secretary, which generally implies a supportive role with limited direct influence on decision-making processes. While her position provides her access to sensitive discussions and documents, her involvement in the conversation is primarily passive, with her role limited to administrative support rather than active participation in policy or strategic decisions. Potential Bias: As a secretary, [Name Redacted] might be more of a witness to the interactions among higher-level officials rather than an active participant. Her translations and relayed information should be scrutinized for any potential biases or omissions. She might also be inclined to provide a sanitized or biased account based on her relation and perception of her superiors or her own position within the DPRL. Accuracy and Completeness: Context of Information: The transcript reveals internal disagreements and strategic considerations among DPRL officials, but the conversation may be selectively reported or interpreted. "Fortuna"s role in this context suggests she might be presenting a snapshot of a larger, more complex situation. The completeness of the information should be evaluated in light of her role as a non-decision-making participant. Verification: It is crucial to cross-reference the details provided in this transcript with other intelligence sources to verify accuracy. Given the sensitive nature of the discussion, there is a possibility of incomplete or selectively presented information. Implications: Strategic Interpretation: The insights provided by "Fortuna" offer a glimpse into the internal deliberations of DPRL officials but should be weighed against the broader intelligence picture. Her account may highlight internal tensions and disagreements but might not fully capture the underlying motives or potential agendas of the participants. Conclusion: The information relayed by "Fortuna" provides valuable context but must be corroborated with additional intelligence to form a comprehensive assessment. Her role as a secretary limits her direct influence but offers crucial observational insights that should be carefully analyzed and verified. Fortuna remains the Agency's most reliable and valuable asset within the DPLR, which is notoriously hard to infiltrate. Preliminary Psychological Profiles: General Ludmil Kozlov: Profile: Kozlov exhibits characteristics typical of a highly assertive and ambitious military leader. His reaction to the incident suggests a readiness to pursue aggressive strategies and a strong belief in punitive measures as a means to assert authority. Kozlov's language indicates a penchant for decisiveness and a lack of tolerance for ambiguity. His desire to retaliate reflects a mindset oriented towards confrontation and retribution, which could be driven by personal or professional insecurities, or a desire to strengthen his position within the DPRL hierarchy. Motivation: Maintaining and enhancing his influence, demonstrating strength, and possibly deflecting attention from internal issues or failures. Yevgeniy Petrov: Profile: Petrov displays characteristics of a staunch nationalist and unwavering hardliner, advocating for aggressive measures to safeguard the DPRL's stability and influence. He is focused on asserting DPRL dominance, willing to escalate tensions if it ensures internal cohesion and deters any notion of vulnerability. Petrov's rhetoric is more impulsive than Kozlov's and is marked by a strategic, long-term view of how sustained aggression could cement the DPRL's power. His insistence on immediate retaliation reflects a belief in strength through force and a readiness to escalate conflict to maintain control. Motivation: Preserving the unity of the DPRL by demonstrating a firm stance against both internal dissent and external adversaries. Petrov is motivated by a desire to ensure the DPRL remains a cohesive, unchallengeable force, willing to advocate for war with the ROL to eliminate vulnerabilities and bolster his influence within the Supreme Council. His political views hinge on the resurgence of the DPRL as a new soviet style superpower. Maksimilian Tukhachevsky: Profile: Tukhacevsky's cautious and analytical approach suggests he is a methodical and detail-oriented intelligence officer. His reluctance to immediately attribute the incident to sabotage reflects a commitment to thorough investigation and an aversion to premature conclusions. Tukhachevsky's emphasis on technical explanations and maintenance issues indicates a strong adherence to evidence-based decision-making. His profile suggests a preference for careful analysis and a potential resistance to politically motivated interpretations of events. Motivation: Upholding the integrity of intelligence and investigative processes, and ensuring accurate assessments to prevent misguided actions. Analysis: It remains unclear why both engines failed at the same time or why the pilots were not able to perform an autorotation. ROL Intelligence has through backchannels categorically denied any involvement in the possible aircraft sabotage. There is no further intelligence gathered through Operation Watchdog to support ROL participation. It is therefore much more likely that the crash was caused by improper maintenance of the aircraft. Precipitated by both the mechanics unfamiliarity with the aircraft and the difficult sourcing of spare parts due to imposed sanctions. The helicopter crash may be leveraged by pro-unification factions within the DPRL to destabilize the fragile ceasefire with the ROL. An escalation of violence is to be anticipated. Threat Assesment: IMMINENT Civil War: The power vacuum created by Dragomirovs death could lead to greater factionalism within the DPRL leadership ultimately leading to civil war. War with the ROL: To mantain inner stability and prevent factionalism within the DPRL it is posible that DPRL leadership may choose to blame the ROL for the crash. Seeking to escalate the conflict back into a state of war. Executive Summary: It is crucial in both scenarios to keep a close eye on the DPRL's nuclear arsenal through Operation Watchdog and to track which faction within the DPRL leadership controls it. If needed, intervention might be necessary to prevent it from falling into the hands of dangerous individuals or bad actors. David Webb Analyst, Eastern Europe Desk End of Document

  33. Holy shit there's a name I haven't heard in a while lol Congratulations on the marriage Whitby! Glad to hear things are looking good. Whereabouts are you? MENA is a pretty big region. Any recommendations for tourist/vacation destinations? I retired from the unit years ago and just rejoined a couple weeks ago after seeing one of Harts' videos (the one with the oil platform - so good). Transferred from aviation to JTAC and really having a blast (sometimes literally) so far. As far as IRL goes I finished my bachelors degree and got a corporate job in a completely unrelated field (apparently history/philosophy isn't applicable to most jobs - who knew! ). Been working my way up the corporate ladder to some effect though. After the last 3 years focussing on work - I'm now trying to focus back on the more important parts of life like friends and family - also part of the reason I'm back. Also looking at travelling more, now that my paycheck allows for it - hence my question above.

  34. Greetings E-Warriors. So I'm kinda geeking out right now. I was just checking out the art gallery in the new ArmA III DLC and I found a picture that looked super familiar to me. THEY ACTUALLY USED MY SCREENSHOT IN THE DLC AND I AM SO ECSTATIC. The placard next to it is something they wrote themselves and that I didn't have any input for but it's still fucking baller to me that I got included in a DLC in a game I enjoy heavily. Now my name and my screenshot are apart of ArmA lore.
