Russian propaganda is really amateurish. Examples: recently there was a video supposedly from Ukrainian marines, lamenting that they cannot go on etc. Part of it was: "Russians have gradually pushed us to the Azovmash factory". Except of course where the action was was the Azovstal' factory...

I think "feckless" is a good description of Biden handling of Ukraine situation. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us...elicopters-to-ukraine-as-part-of-750m-package In an about-face move the Biden administration on Wednesday decided against providing Ukraine with Mi-17 helicopters despite...

This is what Russia should expect (times 50 or so) if they ever manage to occupy a significant portion of Ukraine: It has been established that in the period from 20.03 to 12.04.2022 70 Russian soldiers were eliminated during night patrols in temporarily occupied Melitopol.

Some (no idea how many, Russian numbers are suspect, the videos showed maybe 20-30) surrendered, after being completely out of ammo and food. Some fought their way out to join with the Azov regiment. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/823753.html

This is just one town. https://t.me/rf200_nooow/1934 Deputy mayor of Dnepr Mikhail Lysenko called on Russian mothers to take away the bodies of Russian solders killed in Ukraine. "Right now in Dnepr morgues there are more than 1500 bodies of Russian soldiers that no one wants to pick up. We...

Either that or it is a bizarre coincidence. Weird, isn't it, that horrible, unstable, crude, and incompetent Trump has held inflation down for his whole term while the supposedly ultra competent Democrat return to sanity managed to get it to Carter levels in just about a year. It must be a...

I read Russian social forums once in a while. You know, Russia blocked a bunch of services. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The reaction I have seen on these forums was muted. Like - meh, we'll deal with it. But now the Russian government is proposing to block Youtube. You should see the...

... and another step backwards for Russian economy https://tass.com/economy/1436649?utm_source=google.com&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google.com&utm_referrer=google.com

Well it looks to me like the CPI started shooting up a few months after Biden's inauguration. Must be a coincidence.

Well, you'd have to list the features you can't live without.

The X scale is not marked well. The period between '20 and '21 is 2021. The dotted line. What do you think it is? Hint: it is not the date of Putin invading Ukraine.

Oh if you're taking orders, I have way more than a couple.

I am not in Russia. All it takes is google/yandex to compile that list. But that's too much bother for the "journalist" that put up that DailyMail article - or all the others who pick it up without checking and keep the mantra of "9 colonels dead" (I have seen it several times already).

By the way, just to show how horribly incompetent Western media is in actual *investigative* journalism: This article claims that "Putin has lost his 9th colonel": https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10710331/One-five-Russians-killed-OFFICERS-Putins-army-forced-send-commanders-field.html...

Fun with deteriorating of Russian economy: Russia is going to have an extreme shortage of new toilets, sinks and tiles. 90% of the "white kaolin" material that is required for production of such items in Russia used to come from Ukraine. No more.

They do send corpses home to bury, the ceremony etc. gets covered in the Russian press. The official military is not confirming any overall numbers. And as I said, Russian media did not publish anything about the deaths of the generals (except for one of them). They did not show them alive either.

Continuing the demolition of Russian economy... SAS just closed all its offices in Russia, firing all personnel.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier wanted to come to Kyiv. Zelenskyy nixed the visit, because of Steinmeier's very close ties to Russia.

I have links to Russian media sources for all of them (except 6 out of 7 generals, Russians absolutely refuse to confirm (or deny) those).

Russia has covered itself in blood and won't be able to wash it off for a couple of generations at least - and that is if they make some effort towards becoming a normal country, which I doubt very much. People point to Germany and say "look, they were Nazis but now a prosperous, regular and...
