"AssholeZov Battalion still hiding behind human shields. Ru Mod was right not to carelessly takeover each city, it's better to cut off their supply routes and wait it out. Eventually the Azov retards will get desperate, and they'll eventually try to horde food and water from the civilians, and this will be the last straw to get the residents to turn against Ukronie forces. "
Difficult problem to solve . The best solution is the one involving least casualties among civilian and friendly forces . I said provide weapons to civilians to fight the enemy but GarryB said the enemy will kill the civis . And he is right . Without training and supervision , civis will be massacred . Since we can not separate the civis from the Rats , apart from storming the city , which will result in mass casualties among civis and friendly troops , then a solution applied must ensure as far as possible the disabling of the body functions needed for war fighting , yet keeping the body alive , with no long term ill effects .
I suggested releasing bad smelling gas , but harmless , this will disable a war fighter , yet keep civilians alive . A burst sewage pipe , could take the blame ! Line-up speakers around town or flash bangs , will keep the war fighter sleepless and useless , yet keep civis alive . Food laced with strong laxatives , will disable a war fighter but keep civis alive .
After all , all these measures will demoralize or partially disable a war fighter , but they should not wait too long , so as either starvation or mass killing by the Rats , finish off the civis ! They should go house to house before then . Best use light mortar fire to clear the streets first . Together with smoke . Heavy artillery will damage buildings that population is hiding in . Already doing this I think !

No, that is an absolute and vicious lie. It's 30 years in a strong regime prison colony in Kamchatka.

Well, the law is real but it's not that specific, it was an amendment to the criminal code that can punish you if you spread "fake" information the sentence can be UP to 15 years or anything below or fines.

First time offender gets like 2 years sentence I think.
So it is pretty harsh but not the widespread slap on news reporting people make it out to be.

The whole ceremony and make work project of the Chernobyl sarcophagus project was also a huge make work and political graft project. The Soviet Union had already dumped so much concrete with refractory clay over the reactor that there was next no chance of radiation leakage. The corium was basically encased in concrete.

New Delhi did cancel this year's Defence Expo that was supposed to take place next week once it realized that Russia won't be able to attend and the West will then cite this as an example of how unreliable Russia is as a defence partner.flamming_python wrote:India is starting to tilt more towards the Russia-China axis, albeit its careful to keep neutral publicly
But these events aside China doesn't want India in any RUSSIA-CHINA axis because it sees India as a competitor and a rival to China's ally Pakistan.

Around the time China made the CPEC financing project with Pakistan the Chinese tried to get India to join BRI.
The Indians feared Chinese influence in Indian economy and pushed most Chinese investment out.
Still you have Chinese companies building part of New Delhi metro with funding from AIB.
I personally think India avoiding Chinese investment is a major blunder on the part of the current leadership.
If they had issues with Chinese control they should have make it like China does with US companies in China.
Force China into 50-50% partnerships with Indian companies with Indian company keeping control of project.

At 2:55 mark.
There are conscripts in the active units after all. What worse it came to the attention after Ukrainian SF group raided some rear echelon supply force and took prisoners.
It will be blowing up big time on both sides of the infowar. On ours heads will definitely roll - fucking up Putin`s word there are none in the Ukraine like that...

But these should be minimal since only 1/3rd of active army is conscripts. The Russian army should have like 400k professional troops in it.
I agree this was a blunder of command though. There clearly was poor communication between political and military leadership.

When you look at maps of the battle space, usually estimates of Russian forces present for the special military operation are at around 100-115 BTG.
In terms of personnel that's around 80,000 men , at maximum
Of the major Combined Arms Armies, most of the other BTG probably are still waiting to be deployed
So conscripts could be fulfilling roles like logistics and sustainment of deployed forces
It makes sense so many vehicles getting left behind

It directly contradicts what Putin said 1/2 days ago. He will not be happy.

It contradicts what he reiterated 1-2 days ago. Disregarding hows and whys, which we all well understand, it will create drama because it creates problems on many levels. Not just to the public opinion on the whole matter inside Russia, but for a feeble attempt of out MOD on PR which became noticeable last week.JohninMK wrote:auslander wrote:teh_beard wrote:

As some Chilean dude sitting in Harkov basement noticed - Ukraine wins PR war, Russia wins war war.
And former is not less important then the latter nowadays.

The President of the Russian Federation was informed about the facts of the participation of conscripts in a military special operation in Ukraine, and the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office will investigate this. This was announced by the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, reports RIA Novosti .
According to Peskov, even before the start of the special operation, all unit commanders were informed of the instruction of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief: “to categorically exclude the involvement of conscripts to perform any tasks on the territory of Ukraine.”
Neither Putin nor Shoigu can look at every conscript's record to see if he's been deployed against orders or not....or if he managed to slip through and stay with his unit, orders be damned.
So again, 'So What?'
