Jim Cowan Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 That is tragic to witness, those kids are going to get just fucking massacred. Dead within a month. My command of the Russian variant of the Cyrillic alphabet is a bit shaky but I think that the lettering on that gray hoodie says "Army of Russia", a particularly cruel irony. If Orwell were alive today he could have written and directed that video clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing an army that can't do logistics for the soldiers it has is....more soldiers to do logistics for. He demonstrates no useful insight into how and why his army is losing. Good.

gehringer_2 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 this one has been floating around since May. I will tell you this, he has pain in his right leg. In the last year I've yet to see video or pics of him where he wasn't unweighting his right leg when he was standing. Now that could be as non-life threatening as a little sciatica, but it's easy to see once you notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have we prematurely danced on Trump's grave? one of the takes I've seen today is that Putin is getting pressure from both the dove and hawk side, but sees the threat from hawk side as more politically dangerous, thus a mobilization despite the Russian Army infrastructure likely being incapable of effectively using it.

The system of training new cadres inside operational units is always going to fall apart once those units are deployed and under stress.

This has become VVP's idée fixe. He's locked in on that and won't budge with all his corporal-quality strategic insights. I see other moves being much more productive for Ukraine.

romad1 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Ukraine does appear to be pretty good at using information to its advantage. When it helps them to put out information they do. When they get good information about targets of opportunity they move. They happen to have outstanding First World assistance with getting that information and they are excellent in their own rights.
