Interesting article about Russian volunteers fighting against ruzzia on Ukrainian side.

Insight: How Russians end up in a far-right militia fighting in Ukraine

Danil Yugoslavsky had long hated Vladimir Putin. The tech worker says he protested for fair elections in Russia for several years before he left his homeland in despair in 2017 and eventually settled in Spain.

It is good that war is so terrible or we should grow too fond of it

Nsfw:
Wagner merc, hit by arty or drone droppedmunitions, leg right is fubar, tries medical then some time later while laying on the ground puts his rifle under his chin and fires...

I'm not sad about a Wagner merc dying, but it is sad his choices or lack of opposition to other's choices caused him to take his own life.

You are missing the big picture.

List a few of the top things US spends money on.

List what you spend time complaining about.

Do you see it yet?

None of that is relevant. What’s relevant is what we can realistically cut. This is something we can realistically cut.

The 'domino theory' has been resurrected...russia, russia, russia is bs...

pewtin knows his economy can't withstand the kind of 'adventurism' he'd like to pull off.

While this war grinds on, so does russia's economy...they're being bled to death...war bit by war bit, but I'm guessing (and that's what everyone is doing, guessing the outcome) they'll throw everything they got at Ukraine, and if that doesn't do it, they'll probably slink back home.

If that happens, pewtin will be deposed. russia will lick it's wounds and they'll quit being warlike...for awhile...

If that happens, I'm thinking ruzzian federation falls apart, and putler goes down in history as the idiot that destroyed it.

I think that was
Never fired. Only dropped once.

It was an original ad in the Int'l Herald Tribune, as the joke goes. It read, "100,000 French battle rifles for sale, fully charged. Never fired, only dropped once."

I'm interested to see how Ukraine uses the Storm cruise missiles. 155mi range so they can hit all russian occupied Ukraine include the Kerch bridge which would be a rather useful thing when Crimea is assaulted and freed.

Why Ukraine's Storm Shadow missiles will terrify Russia

"Russia must recognise that its actions alone have led to such systems being provided to Ukraine," British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said on Thursday.

I am not in a position to verify the veracity of this article but I do know we have Patriots in Ukraine and they likely have US military personal there for the batteries care and feeding and possibly training the locals. I know the Russians were proud of their ultra fast missiles.

A 42 Year Old US Weapons System Just Humiliated Russia

It's no secret that the military-industrial complex is using the war in Ukraine to test weapons systems; another example is

Read this morning that advances were being made around Bakhmut, but that it wasn't the offensive beginning, just weakened ruzzian forces not being able to hold. Supposedly the Ukrainians were still waiting on a couple of battalions to be ready/more NATO equipment to arrive before beginning the offensive.

Go to the range, get back to this good news.

If the ruzzians are giving up even more ground before the offensive begins, makes me think they are saying "hell with this bullshit, I'm to taking a bullet for putler, retreat!". Hope so, and that many more decide putler's mansions aren't worth their skin.

Ukes just need to be careful it's not a false retreat to trap anyone chasing prematurely, but their leadership has so far been much more careful with their troops vs the other side just feeding the meat grinder.

The first version of the Patriot system was developed 42 years ago. The current systems in use (including the one the Poles gave Ukraine that's most likely the one used in this shootdown) are much, much more recent and more capable. Every time they're used in combat, that experience is used to upgrade and improve the system. Plus new rocket motors, new radars, new computing systems...

Kind of like how a recent model Camaro is not the same car as the '84 IROC Z that guy down the street from you had way back when.

I tend to agree its not THE offensive, yet at least. If things go well, maybe it will become something but unless it is staggeringly soft, probably best to stick with the plan and wait for the units you wanted.

Read that the head of Wagner mercenaries was complaining that regular Russian army fled its positions and left his mercenaries exposed.

Not a bad way to get rid of your opposition.

Fall back, let them get encircled...

Russias economy was doing terrible before this. The war isn’t to blame for that. It’s also funny that people are still pushing this idea that anything is going to happen to Putin.

Your statement "funny that people are still pushing the idea that anything is going to happen to Putin" made no sense to me. What people are "pushing" anything is going to happen to Putin? Are you saying something will happen or nothing according to these "people"?

Since the invasion began some of the pro war folks have believed that there was going to be some type of coup, or assassination against putin. Some have even suggested he was going to die of cancer. I believe the first two are extremely unlikely, and while the third is certainly possible, there was no real basis for the claims other than hope. In the slim chance that putin was somehow removed from office, I think it’s an even slimmer chance of people being as happy as they think they would be.
