  2. Classy bunch, those Ruskie troops.

    Not sure they want to die for the Motherland in Ukraine.

    But are willing to die for the washing machines in Ukraine.

    If Russian soldiers are killed in battle, it is doubtful that the Russians will even gather up the bodies and send them home- most likely not- but by jeeeesuzzz there is no doubt that those washing machines will be going home probably with a Russian flag draped over them and armed guards.



    Putin's army descends into civil war with Russian SAS units fighting Wagner militia

    However, it would appear that tensions between the privately contracted fighters and regular Russians troops are reaching boiling point.

    Reports suggest that a bitter dispute broke out between a Russian Spetsnaz unit and Wagner fighters over the division of war loot, which ended in a "bloody firefight".


    The GRU dispatched a senior officer to the scene in a bid to calm the situation down.

  4. Wow! The sanctions are brutal on the Russian people, with only minor sacrifices by the Europeans (heros!) Look at this chart of suffering:

    Cost per MWH of electricity by country. Russia is the one one the right. Man, we really stuck it to them, didn't we? I mean, they're paying over 1/3 what I pay.

    In Kherson area, an ex-deputy of the Ukrainian parliament that became a collaborator with Russians - by the name of Kovalev - was shot to death today. The fate of dozens of collaborators so far.

  10. You would think that it would be the French teaching them French resistance tactics but probably they are busy fighting climate change or something.

    I think they were busy fighting climate change when they were invaded in WW2 as well but I digress.
