    Wagner degenerates fighting Ukrainian degenerates. What’s not to love. Just hope few will comeback. Last thing you want to have back in your country are thugs with real military experience. If anyone remembers post Chechen war mafia…

    Sucks to be civvie stuck in between. And the winter is coming too.

    The easiest thing was to win the war. You cannot win the war against Ukraine knowing your territory, culture, being on the edge of the border, having military experience and resources to spare. You got the fucking jew laughing at you, the azov nazis still hanging around.

    We Argentines (a third world country), absolutely alone, without technology and equipment, never made the tremendous mistakes of Russia against the British and all of NATO. Thatcher was on the verge of using nuclear weapons against us if we sank two more cargo ships for them.

    That is called ineffectiveness and I would not like to give Hitler the historical reason for the lack of talent of the Slavs. I hope that Russia will make a counteroffensive and destroy that shit country with the whole West.
    Your analysis is too superficial to call the Russian operation inefficient. The Ukrainians are suffering terrible casualties. It's sticking to a single point.

    I've read a lot about the Falklands conflict and never knew that Thatcher intended to use nuclear weapons against Argentina. There were successive errors by Argentina, contrary to what you say. Even thermal coats were missing. You're talking nonsense.

    Still, we should admire his spirit, as obviously this is a line the Argentinians explain themselves their failure.

    End of 1st Chechen war started plenty of gangs formed from veterans. We even have personal experiences with this crap.

    Then again, you are right. They are not even in the military officially and most likely will be used as cannon fodder clearing the trenches.

    Not a fan where this is DirleWagner shit is going.

    Btw, some say it’s an old video and it’s nothing burger. Wagner was always recruiting this way.

    Indeed.   A 2010 Ipsos (not Pew) poll showed that support for joining NATzO was about 40%.   So the anti-Russian vs pro-Russian split was 40:60.

    Should save some for the Azeris to, i am still a little traumatized when they cut the head off of a armenian dude's head and stuck it on a pig to see the face, eyes and mouth move of the corpses head to be brought back to life temporarily just to die again. Azeris are probably more worse than hohols.

    I watch that from another angle.
    The Brits are common to recruit their best breed out of gangs, the hooligans, and - surprise surprise - convicted.
    Holly shit, not the Brits only!
    Do you think that a Dirty Dozen is a whole figured-out story? Laughing
    Well ... sorry ... not at all! Twisted Evil
    Let's b serious: when the 1st Chechen was running and shortly after, there was hardly any Russian statehood.
    A drunken Yelts dancing on a stage, collapsing economy, a social disaster, a shrinking population, and global concerns writing the laws that Duma was only to pass through.
    Sure that a well socialized among each other gangs could establish a very successful career!
    There is zero chance for similar structures to succeed.

    We will see how ukrainians will be this winter without water, gas and electricity. my only problem is that whatever territory they capture is that they get the people out or they stay to get killed

    Dude, winter can be an ally, but are you saying that these animals still have infrastructure?
    I ask, where is the sabotage of Russian services?
    I give you an example. Argentina and Chile were on the brink of war in 1979. Pinochet entrusted his secret service to poison the drinking water of the Rio de la Plata and kill the population of Buenos Aires. I admire him because the guy loved his country.
    Where are the Russian services? what the hell are they doing?

    So when you love your country anything goes? Hitler and Stalin would love you thats for sure.
    If Putin decided to poisen the entire population of Kiev, that would be alright with you?

On top of that and the worst betrayal of all , they left the civilians who finally thought they were free and put their trust in Russia, at the mercy of the Nazis.
    They are now brimming with morale and are launching attacks all along the lines, have even taken a town in Luhansk. Put Liman under pressure, still pushing in Kherson, appear to be staging counters in Zaporozhye.
    Belgorod oblast being shelled continuously  and now reports of gun fights inside Russia. The Fuhrer and his henchmen taking pictures openly in Izyum without a care in the world because they know Russia won’t do shit, all while Putin  twiddles his thumbs, plays pointless war games and now offering the EU free fertiliser and food while they arm the Nazis to kill Russians, un—fucking beliavable.

    Anyone rightfully criticising this cluster **** is being attacked, called a doomer and banned from TG groups, acting just as bad as the Ukronazis in that regard. The excuses from the Russian mod about a regrouping which they themselves didn't seem to know about until they started running, and copium from the community is pathetic, thought we were better than this.

    Will you relax

    As a result of this Ukr phantom victory, they are now throwing everything they have into new offensives and being decimated, as predicted

    I suspect Russia will wait for them to exhaust themselves and their manpower

    But I very much see the value here of this strategy; encouraging the Ukrainians to come to Russian lines instead of Russia fighting for every Avdeevka, Peskov, Lisichyansk. Who the hell needs that.
    Really fail to understand the objection of people here. Because Russia looked bad on twitter and Zelsnky got a photo-op? Who cares?

    Just feels like Putin wants this SMO/War to get dragged on for as long as possible without mobilization even on a small scale, think we can all agree that most Russian army units have not participated and remain mostly in Russia.

    Thats what Alexander Mercouris from the Duran suggested also.

    I think this is bigger than Ukraine. Russia is trying to destroy the EU and weaken the USA. Dragging out the conflict while Europe runs out of oil and gas over winter as a strong bargining chip.

    Which offensives? Except for Liman attack, all other where max batallion size attacks or smaller. They are expecting offensive somewhere, but none started yet.

    Over at Martyanov's "Reminiscences…" an author called Larch445 has something that could be called a Credo of Special Military Operation, a confession of faith of sorts. A short, concise and rather extraordinary text.

    …If you hold in your mind these goals, these elements, you will have a long, broad view of the possible and you will appreciate the precise military operation, SMO, which will accomplish these ends with maximum efficiency, minimum losses, manageable costs, and timelines that are rational.

    The SMO is scalable, a necessity in Ukraine.

    The SMO is variable in velocity, pace and tempo.

    The SMO is capable of multi-vectors, simultaneous concentration of force on hundreds of targets. Its agility is not just with land force weapons, but with aerospace and naval platforms, a variety of cruise missiles and deep penetrating hypersonic missiles.

    The SMO delivers humanitarian aid almost at the hour of the end of hostilities in settlements, towns and cities. Liberators shift to aid deliverers, medical providers, and sappers who de-mine buildings, homes and fields.

    The facility of the SMO is swift because it is not a brute force military. It is a light special forces organization operating with precision to save troops and protect civilians from collateral losses.

    The SMO is sustainable for years by the Russian economy and MIC capabilities.

    You have a very good entry today, with a RAND report backing in Jan 2022.
    It describes perfectly well what is going on, still, some of you consider it a better option to act like a madman.
    Well, it is your choice. And the consequences.

    Pretty good post from MoA. Nailed it. Russia is demonstrating its total understanding of the first para. No bull in the china shop here, is softly, softly catchee monkee.

    Without Russia drastically upgrading its SMO to something much bigger, the NATO alliance is lacking in a casus belli to peddle to its voters and its media as grounds for providing unprecedented, drastically game changing, levels of support to Ukraine before winter arrives.

    And that worries the NATO alliance, partly because they are a chain dependent on their weaker links, and the physical and economic suffering that winter will bring is going to cause a roiling within NATO countries.

    Rather than suffer political and personal suicide, the leadership of weakest link NATO/EU countries might signal that they have to have at least a partial end to the sanctions, even if that was tantamount to undermining Ukraine's position, and making it look more likely that they will have to make big concessions to Russia and its allies.

    If the advances that the AFU has made are slowly ground away, while Allied forces make incremental progress elsewhere, and defend against further AFU incursions, then I can see a lot of bitterness towards this conflict being openly expressed in the nations that will be starting to suffer the most from Russia being sanctioned, as winter temperatures begin being felt.

    "Success has many parents, failure is an orphan."

    Zelenskyy and Ukraine could start to feel themself getting ghosted once the pain of supporting them becomes unpopular. Their defeats will be their defeats, and they'll start getting little more than dumb looks and meaningless encouragement from their former backers.

    You know, Kadyrov is the kind of guy who would assemble a 300.000 men force and attack every city in 404 head on. Don´t mind the consequences. But the head of a responsible state can´t act that way.
