This part:

...The deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, said that “any peace proposal built purely in the interest of NATO and the Western world order should simply be ignored.”

“Or rather, their authors should be told to go in a certain direction,” Medvedev said...

I told all y’all already that Dmitry is fuckin' crazy

If he were running the show VKS would have been doing Rolling Thunder all over Ukrop asses for months now  

Ukrainians curse Putin when in fact they should be sending him thank you notes and wishes for good health and long life

Martyanov mentioned a while ago in one of his videos that Medvedev is some nasty guy. He is unforgiving. If you make a mistake he will go nuts on you even in front of others. On the other and Putin always stays polite.

Now remember what happened as Medvedev was President. The west tried to screw him and did so with Libya. He remembers.

It would be nice if we could give it a try without Van.

This is the only source in the entire internet that explained in details ,
the real problems of the Russian army tactics , versus ukraine advance tactics trench warfare
that require ultra precision strikes ,that russian army artillery don't have , and also ukraine
heavy use of strike drones. He knows a lot of military tactics ,and not a stupid fanboy ,that makes excuses for the losses of russian military and show just the facts , of the problems facing both sides.
and whenever ukraine or russia shows progress ,he report it.  as it should be.

The lack of drones in the beginning of the conflict was strange. Russian units were shocked at how many experienced drone operators the DNR and LNR had, and how they had improvised with off-the-shelf options. Now, of course, many Russian units are being supplied with off-the-shelf drones for reconnaissance paid for out of people's pockets, but it is still unacceptable.

The KLUB-BLA video from a couple of days ago shows it can be much more effective than a Switchblade, and it is supposedly cheap and simple to produce. Where is the Lancet in this conflict? Agreed, there is a need for recon drones, drone swarms, loitering munitions. A big need for cheap kamikaze drones that can hit trenches, something like an upsized KLUB with a 6kg warhead, to use in conjunction with regular artillery.

You assume too much.

You do not have access to what Russia been using at all times. None of us do. We assumed they weren't using drones then we were getting image after image of Orlan-10 drones flying everywhere with either shot down or images of its assistance in artillery guidance.  People assumed Russia was barely flying planes until images of jets flying or some being shot down appeared.  Some assumes Russia took all these positions in Kharkov region and then fled the mighty Ukrainian army until it became known they never held many of these positions.  We assumed Russia all of a sudden lost snake island until it became clear the Ukrainians lost a shit ton in a botched op.

So I would refrain from assuming. It doesn't look good on you or me or any member here.

I'm not assuming anything. Russian soldiers were complaining on telegram about the lack of drones in the first two months. Kadyrov himself stated this.
