Some rumors from Telegram are saying that Mikhail Mizintsev is now deputy commander in Wagner. Who is this guy you may ask? I know its hard to keep track of all of these potato-headed Bond villains but this is the guy that was recently fired by Putin from his post as deputy minister of defense and logistics. Prior to that he was better known as the Butcher of Mariupol as he was the one who commanded that assault all last year. So very interesting that the guy who was recently bitching about lack of ammo and piss poor logistics gets the very guy who was in control of all of that just a few weeks ago. Not quite sure if this a way for Prigozhin to backdoor into some secret stockpiles. Or just partnering up for an eventual showdown for the upcoming warlords dance party. Or maybe its a calculated move by Putin to secure a replacement for Priggy? Fake a dismissal just so that he can plant him in the one PMC that is the biggest loose canon out there. Tons of possibilities and different theories we can make about this news. Either way it is going to be quite fascinating on who starts pointing fingers once this counter-offensive starts popping off. There is no early buyout and and a chance to retire to their dacha for these guys.

And interesting story about the experience of the 3 former Russian POWs released. One is already back in a PMC and the other two much more disillusioned about the war. All of them though have some form of PTSD.

Love that one random internet comment tees up perfectly to someone's dissertation. Just waiting for that one moment to shine. 😁

Personally I think Putin is tired of that commute to the Kremlin. He staged this false flag so he'd have a credible reason to do WFH and not piss off his HR dept. Now he can safely stay in his bunker, play with his toy soldiers, maybe set a new high score on Tetris, without raising any suspicions.

I'm guessing Ruskies maintenance program is not much more advanced than me as a teenager with my first car. Waiting for the freak out once they have a major in air failure.

This era of drone and satelite intel is quite amazing. I shudder to think what D-Day would have been like if the Nazis had the reconnaissance tech of today. Maybe we would have taken Normandy but with 5x the casualty rate. Maybe we don't get to meet the Soviets in Berlin and all of Germany becomes East Germany. Lotta what ifs we could play with all day long. It will be interesting to see how modern armies adapt for major offenses when the fog of war can be so thin nowadays. Which is why I'm so anxious waiting for this next phase to kickoff.

Fair points in the above and I agree in general that this is not a huge paradigm shift. However this one of the first publicly documented instances where the Putin and Xi "friendship without limits" is clearly subordinate to China's interests. China is clearly signaling that the European market is of much more value than the Russian market. And that's got to add to Putin's pucker factor going forward.

What Putler youth doing? A depressing look at Putin using ex-soldiers to push patriotic propaganda to school kids. Which is why a total defeat would be terrific as I hate to see this level of brainwashing continuing year after year. Maybe if they focused more on teaching critical thinking skills and less about jingoism then this could recognize the hypocrisy of the guy preaching that it's the Ukrainians that are facist. Long article but worth the read from meduza.

Some are reporting that these were the drones used in the strike: https://www.muginuav.com/product/mugin-5-pro-5000mm-super-large-vtol-uav-platform/ Which were the Chinese brand that was supposed to be disabled for any type of military use. Looks like someone regifted Ukraine a few of these and managed to figure out how to bypass any restrictions. At 13k a pop that has got to be a steal. Hope they can find some more in the bargain bin.

Russians don't even understand the concept of slow and low. Dumbasses.

A typical Russian success story as 6 officers have been caught stealing 360 tons of jet fuel or the equivalent of Brisket after 4 Baltic dogs. Despite being in a war and directly undermining their war effort they get punished with a $637 fine. If you protest the war you get years in prison but stealing just gets a slap on the wrist.

Egypt might be gearing up, either materially or politically, for a showdown with Ethiopia due to the new dam being built. On paper Egypt should dominate a 1v1 but as Russia has clearly demonstrated preseason rankings can be complete bullshit. Securing some new tech and maybe more importantly some USA interest may be their goal. Maybe enough political muscle to influence Ethiopia without becoming a hot war. Defer to others as I'm not well read in this area. Maybe @InkaUtexas has got some background in this region?

Ben Hodges talking about the counter offensive. Doesn’t get into too much detail but gives a nice strategic summary on the need to push south and take Crimea.

Video of the Russians accidently bombing Belograd. Didn't realize that there was such a delay from impact to explosion. Those nearby cars were lucky it buried so deep otherwise could have been a lot more fatalities.

I'm guessing we are still 2 to 3 weeks from the full fledged counter offensive. Weather in Zaporizhia is expected to be wet and/or overcast for next week or so. Until then this is going to be the longest halftime show ever. It's been painfully obvious that UA wasn't going to make any big moves until spring. As for the counter offensive targets...I'm still guessing that the push south has the highest probability. Crimea is the crown jewel for Putin and any threat to that part of his legacy will have major ramifications. Not sure of the exact path but alot of speculation is that UA would target Tokmak since it's the end part of the rail line from mainland Russia into the region. Take Tokmak, surround Melitopol, push hard along the eastern part of the Dniepro, rebuild some bridging to shorten UA's logistic tail from Kherson, and push down to the Crimean peninsula. At that point you have Melitopol and Crimea almost on complete lock down (1 Kerch bridge kaboom away from a total siege). At that point not sure how hard it wants to engage in urban combat in Melitopol and/or make that jump into Crimea proper. Getting stuck in the Perekop isthmus could be a real bottleneck if RU dedicates artillery and aerial assets to the area and making it a killzone. So I'm guessing that UA may try to siege out those areas, wear down material and morale before going full bore in those areas. If Putin is seeing the rest of his land grab slipping away thru Q3 then I think he's in a maximum shit sandwich. Economic numbers will start looming large and has to be aware of the consequences if that runs into 2024. It's estimated that they have already blown thru 80% of their budgeted 2023 expenditures just thru Q1. One of Putin's purported strategic advantages has been counting on the miserability of his people being able to keep eating this shit sandwich than the West. If they are on their heels going into Q3 then I think there will be a lot more cracks showing. Here's to hoping that UA takes the ball and goes on a 9-play 80-yard TD drive with a methodical dissection of the Russian defense to start this 2nd half.

More reports about the Wagner butchers. Not exactly sure why they would admit to this but ex mercs explaining orders to terminate everyone...civilians, women, teenagers, and even 5 year old girls. Just fucking brutal.

Adding to the media/business hijinks out there. Guy is reporting that Patreon is shutting down pro Ukraine accounts but leaving up pro Russian accounts. I can follow arguments for running a business with an apolitical viewpoint but not when they are clearly being biased with their enforcement.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Looking ahead to a separate thread for @Brisketexan plan to invade Finland, I mean Marin, for all the lulz. We will see if he can outdo Putin's offensive and conquer more territory. My guess is that both will become two of the most sanctioned men on the planet.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Sometimes in these complicated geopolitical energy export cases you have to use Occam's Razor to sift through all the details to get to the truth.... It's because they are a bunch of dipshits.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
I am 100% in support of Ukraine and I have no qualms in describing this as a proxy war. Whether it is described as a war or proxy war is immaterial. Russian propaganda is going to spout out whatever bullshit it can but that does not change the fact they are the aggressors in this matter. Morally, politically, economically...whichever way you look at they are in the wrong for invading an independent nation. Kremlin has even come out stating that they are at war with the west, that we are gay satanic witches which are corrupting their pure and innocent Russian values. Putin is the one trying to reconstitute Tsarist/Soviet glory by directly annexing neighbors. So the sooner people realize that we are in fact in a proxy war then that might help us realize how serious this entire conflict is. Because some people are still behaving that all we have to do is agree to a peace/cease fire and everything will return back to normal. No more sanctions. No more animosity. Bullshit. Win, lose or draw the Russian leadership is going to continue to spew anti-West propaganda to deflect blame. It is going to be a new Cold War 2.0. What matters is how serious of a threat Russia will be going forward. Supporting Ukraine now puts us in a better position once this chapter of the "war" ends.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Shocked. Shocked I say! Looks like the only sure fire way to instigate a revolt is to HIMARS all of their booze. - Русский корабль - иди нахуй
