Russian Confession Video Emerges Online
Let's chat about the recent arson incident in Erfurt
It's no joke, bud. You know that video circulating on a Russian Telegram channel showing military trucks going up in flames in Erfurt, Germany? Well, it's as real as it gets, mate. This ain't no Hollywood movie.
The clip shows military vehicles engulfed in flames, and there were also photos of them before and after the attack. The Telegram channel is named "Obsessed with War," which is quite fitting, ain't it? Media outlets like MDR and "T-Online" have already reported on the incident.
Apparently, the posting that came along with the video reads: "In Erfurt, Germany, various military equipment is being sent to the Ukrainian forces for repair. Our folks thought it was a waste and that the Ukrainian forces didn't need such equipment. So they just torched it."
Now, the State Criminal Police Office of Thuringia, who's handling the investigation into the arson, says they're checking the legitimacy of the video. As for whether the trucks that got torched were actually meant for Ukraine, well, that's up in the air, mate. The German military hasn't given their two cents on this yet.
Fun fact, military vehicles were supposedly torched at the same spot in June last year, but the State Criminal Police Office ain't said squat about the reason for that.
By the way, two weeks ago, six German military vehicles also caught fire in the Lower Saxony town of Soltau. After that incident, a group claiming to be left-wing extremists on an internet platform called "Indymedia" took credit for it. They said they were trying to sabotage the "war-mongers" because they believe a global war is being planned in Germany.
So there you have it. A suspicious fire in Erfurt, another one in Soltau, and claims of responsibility from unknown groups. It's a wild world out there, ain't it?
The recent arson incident in Erfurt, Germany, has sparked a flurry of discussions in the realm of general news, politics, and crime-and-justice. Additionally, the alleged attack on military vehicles in Erfurt and Soltau reflects the broader context of war-and-conflicts, as some groups assert they are campaigning against potential war-mongers.
