This article was in Hackaday a few days ago. Its kind of scary that the control to the Russian's defense network (or US's for that matter!) could be so insecure as to let this happen.

Here is another similar story.

These two episodes may even be linked.  Seems like the beginning of some spy movie!

(His 2016 password was "yourefired" and in 2020 it was "maga2020" Who would ever think of that one!)

Yeah, a spy movie played by Leslie Nielsen with heavy orange tan and the password-scene from Spaceballs.

In Russia, we have a website called Gosuslugi, where people can submit applications to state goverment.
The section "Nuclear Capacity Management" is available to certain particularly important people.  :-DD :-DD :-DD

Well that's just fake news, he followed secure password rules and used MAGA2020!, totally different.  :-DD :-DD :-DD

His next one will be even more secure: Ivanka2024MAGA!

Oh I'm quite sure you could order russian ICBM's on ebay or Tor. Maybe even on craigslist.
With free, same day shipping. I mean the rocket has already fuel.

I have books of the USSR how to make a rocket... Named:
1. "Making a compact hydrogen bomb in the classroom"
2. "Production of rocket engines on wood fuel"
3. "The destruction of GB in a nuclear war"
4. "How to control the universe without attracting the attention of orderlies."

Not a chance, unless your name is Kim Jong Un.

No need to be scared. Most likely the equipment was stolen for scrap metal. If the plane was parked there for a bit longer, it could have easily lost an engine or two.

True, fuel probably stolen, used up to cook vodka.

Btw, I dont think you can launch ICBMs from Trumps twitter account.
Like, there isn't a special code in twitter, that you enter and then "bombs away".
It's fun to see these -used to be world powers- to be the laughing stock of the world.

Kind of, except they don't like being objects of ridicule and are both busy working on a scorched earth policy, Putin has just managed to sign into law a policy that gives him immunity from prosecution for crimes, past, present and future even when he's out of office, Trump is busy trying to poison the well, set fires in as many areas of the world as possible and deliberately undermine faith in democracy. Our own politicians in the UK seem to be only in it for the money now and appear to be making decisions based on the return on their investment funds.

I wonder if BBS told you the number of the law that Putin signed? :) The President of Russia has immunity under article 91 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. This Constitution was adopted in 1993. The first Constitution of Russia after the collapse of the USSR also contained this norm. However, so it is in many countries, as far as I know.

By the way, Trump is the only US President in recent years who has not started a single war... Isn't that right?

Immunity while in office and for acts while in office, yes, but if the reports are to be believed Putin has made changes which mean he and his family have lifetime immunity from arrest, prosecution for acts before, during and after his presidency. He's also changed it so he can remain president until 2036 so it's unlikely to be necessary to rely on his lifetime' immunity'.

Perhaps not as trustworthy as the BBC, but RT seems to feel it's true.

Seems to be, yes. Perhaps the single noteworthy achievement of his term but he seems to be doing his best to leave a nascent war for Biden.

In other words, after leaving the President’s office, Putin can go and shoot people on streets, and he won’t be arrested and prosecuted for that.

This does not mean he would, but the new law allows him to commit such crime unpunished.

No, I don’t know a single country where president or PM is immune for crimes committed before or after his/her term in the office.

Former German President Wulff was prosecuted on corruption charges, That  was for accepting 754 euros gift from a businessman - unimaginable “bribe” by Russian standards. Former French President Sarkozy is being prosecuted these days. And New York DA is getting ready to prosecute Trump for tax evasion as soon as his term in the Oval Office expires next month.

Seems to be, yes. Perhaps the single noteworthy achievement of his term but he seems to be doing his best to leave a nascent war for Biden.

The Constitution has only one line about the inviolability of the President. But the Constitution is not a procedural norm. All procedures for applying the norms of the Constitution are described by laws. Probably, there are some changes, I do not think that RT will fantasize about this.
But I don't know about them, and I'm not really interested. Probably, other countries are more interested in this.

I can tell you from the observation inside: Putin does have a lot of popular support, it's true. Even the obvious failures of his domestic policy do not affect, even harsh changes, for example, raising the retirement age did not reduce trust, although he promised never to raise the retirement age and cheated. Well, other things are already visible to everyone - a lot of chatter and promises that are not fulfilled.

People probably understand and feel that there can't be a perfect system. Most of the people I talk to are unhappy with a lot of things, but they are willing to adapt to anything to ensure sustainability.

I think we should not exaggerate the role of Putin's personality. Yes, he's a tough politician. But no one can decide everything on their own. It is a public voice for people with great influence and significant resources. I am sure that Putin's departure and the appearance of a new person will not make any serious changes. This is just a public show.

In Russia, there are 2 wings of power. The liberals who broke up the country, reduced it to poverty, and seized liquid resources mainly to sell them. These people are ready to sell everything, they are interested in the country only as a commodity for sale. For some reason I don't understand, they didn't end up in prison, but stayed in goverment. And the second wing is a power unit. These people are not going to sell anything, they are interested in their own strong country. And they don't want anything taken away from them by force or extortion.

In any case, ordinary people are the least interested in power and people will be squeezed as much as possible.



And sorry for my English.

Still, Presidents don't become outright jerks. Yes, we know in recent history leaders who have done terrible damage to humanity, but they did not commit ordinary domestic crimes. And, I may be wrong, but the law has a procedure for revoking immunity and bringing to justice.

By the way, diplomats of all countries enjoy full immunity, even for murder, don't they?

Yes, and in Israel there was a story with the President. You reminded me, I agree. But how real are these discussions? Are they not reduced to a regular show?

And as far as I know the American system, the President is not the only and supreme ruler. Your President's TV company can turn off the air. That is, you have an equal level of opposition forces. We have slightly different foundations, we have a more monarchical system, quite close to the Arab and Asian countries. You are cunningly deceived, and here people voluntarily give up power.

Some of them are born that way.

This is true, Putin's domestic crimes tend to be anything but ordinary, the number of his opponents who have 'fallen' out of windows or had poisonous underpants is really quite extraordinary.

Do you remember this guy:



He is the reason of at least 1M deaths. Was he ever tried anywhere? Putin is an angel compared to an animal from the photo above and his cronies who covered him up for many years.

Oh, you know, we have a lot of laughter on the russian internet about blue underpants and a call to an FSB officer who poisoned these underpants. We've never seen such a comedy before. Navalny is Putin's agent! Only a true professional can be such an idiot. Only a professional can assemble such a disgusting, vile team. He plays on Putin's side most of all, he causes disgust to any opposition, discredits everyone who is against Putin. People for any Putin will become a mountain, if only outright crooks do not seize power.
The freak with the underpants does it!  :-DD

Let’s compare the “mountains”.

Navalny’s last week’s video got 20M views:

Putin’s last week’s press conference got 0.74M views:

As for the crooks, you’ve got them already in power.
