And even if he hadn’t made that abundantly clear, he’s obviously in bed with Russia. Like… it’s completely mystifying why any Ukrainian (who doesn’t hate Ukraine) would want to vote for Trump.

Ukrainians for Trump is even more mystifying than women for Trump, or gays for Trump, or basically any group that isn’t white, cis, male, heteronormative, and some combination of stupid and evil for Trump.

Takes all kinds, I guess.

I’m sure that might be the case in a lot of situations, but the guys in this video absolutely knew. There was no hustle, no scramble like you’d see in people who were looking to avoid premature death by drone. They got horribly injured, and their squadmate just calmly walked among them, shooting each of them to death.

Honestly? Ditto. I think this is the first thing that I’ve seen that’s made me experience a little bit of that cosmic horror @[email protected] was talking about.

Watching this made me realize that I simply lack the capacity to imagine how fucking horrible it must be for these men. Like, they’re all seemingly healthy men in the prime of their lives, and they’re just… trudging towards certain death. How do you get so resigned? I just simply can’t fathom why anybody would willingly accept the order to walk slowly to certain death by drone, a mission that has zero strategic importance, and not just frag their commanding officers instead. I didn’t think my imagination was so limited, but it really is. I just simply cannot wrap my head around this.

The kids ARE alright!

The US is not a member of the ICC. Their arrest warrant on Putin has fuck all to do with the US. And besides, under no circumstances would the US desire the arrest of Putin. We won’t even allow Zelensky to use US-provided munitions to target Russian airfields; you think we’d risk nuclear retaliation by arresting their president??

I get that you didn’t put much thought into this post, but god damn. That space between your ears isn’t just free real estate.

This guy’s body armor looks much better than the body armor in a lot of other videos I’ve seen. Looks like this guy’s much more important than just some random conscript. Good.

Man, Ivan. You really suck at your job. You must be new here. You’re way too obvious about it.

So are the “elite” brigades just the ones that aren’t comprised entirely of prisoners at this point?

I think it’s just that most of the competent heavy vehicle drivers have already died due to drones or artillery fire. You can’t just throw some random Conscriptovich into the driver’s seat of an infantry fighting vehicle or tank and expect them to be able to effectively navigate obstacles.

True, the weather was really bad in that area, but he was traveling in a 3-helicopter convoy, and only his helicopter crashed. Now, I’m not saying that it’s impossible, or even improbable that it was an accident, but we can’t really rule out sabotage at this point, especially considering how big of a target he had on his head from both the US and Israel. Personally, I really hope it was an accident. I mean, I shed no tears for that son of a bitch, but the ramifications if this was an assassination are unsettling.

That artillery count, tho.

“Going to go human wave tactics”

Bro, that’s been their doctrine for the last year. They’ve sent something like 70,000 prisoners to an early grave because of that doctrine.

51 artillery systems? Holy shit! That’s pretty fucking nuts!

Nice! Glad to see that these updates are being posted again. I’ve really missed seeing them the last couple of weeks.

I really don’t understand the motivation of the Chechens. Why any Chechen would fight on behalf of Russia is beyond me. Oh, it’s wet and muddy and corpses are littered everywhere and death could come for you at any moment? Go the fuck home, you stupid son of a bitch. What are you even fighting for?

Hey - a big part of life is learning from your mistakes. That guy, for example, will probably never do that again.

Well, the short answer is that they have a lot more equipment in storage than you might guess. The long answer is that yes, it will eventually run out, even if it seems like eventually is a long ways away. Perun did a really good video about it 2 months ago, including satellite analysis of equipment storage yards. Worth a watch if you’ve got 70 minutes to spare.

And nothing of value was lost.
