Russian propaganda channels claim this NATO laptop, loaded with recent data on pro-Russian forces, was found in a Ukrainian far right group's HQ.

The laptop is a 14-year-old Lenovo R500 with 250MB of RAM. It came with Windows Vista. I wonder if it even turns on.

By tomorrow perhaps they'll say the laptop also contained Hillary Clinton's emails

Fuck, they'll say it's Hunter Biden’s laptop.

2. This ASBNews is filled with heinous lies

It's a joy to report their dishonest Russian cheerleading.

3. It's intentional disinformation.

4. I'm picturing a knockoff "Where's Waldo?" picture book entitled "Where's Hunter Biden's laptop now?"

All the Russians and gullible chumps can try to identify the location!

5. Joe really needs to update Hunter's PC.

6. If it's real, I'd guess they somehow stole this laptop a long time ago

and kept it for use at a later time. 10+ years later, their moment to shine has finally arrived!
I bet they also knew the password to the laptop.

Why would some Ukrainian force have an official Nato laptop or why would any Nato employee work with such a shitty and unsecure laptop?

7. Love the duct tape

As a devoted Thinkpad fan, I am a bit insulted because I can guarantee that if all the hardware is working it would absolutely boot up. Thinkpads are tanks.

That nub is awfully clean for a 14 year-old TrackPoint.
