    The Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute (Yale CELI) Review of the Impact of the Sanctions on the Russian Economy report is the one referenced in this well done video (below) discussing the highlights of the report. The original paper on the Russian economy by Sonnenfeld, Tian and others is from July 20, 2022. The tracking of the 1000 companies has been ongoing work and their recent August report is a follow-up.

    A summary of the paper in slides can be found here:

    This video is well worth watching to get the highlights of the paper. It references the slides.

    The bridges - both the Kachovka and the Antonovsky - were hit today again. On the Antonovsky bridge it is being reported that both the pontoon bridge is wiped out and the ferries are hit.

    This tiktok is informative and a cliff notes view of the conflict.

    This particular one educates the layman on the current artillery matchup. He has a military perspective and goes into some of the weapon systems being deployed.

    The coming robot wars.

  5. Putin has kept this Defense Minister clown around long after his expiration date just to humiliate him every day.

    Not quite sure what is up with that. He has canned lots of others but seems to keep him as a fixture just to kick him the nuts in public everyday. I suspect in his mind that to fire the defense minister would be a sign of admitting failure or something.

    Bunch of sick puppies.

  8. Article below.

    The Ukrainians could work with the local resistance in some of these Russian held towns, and ship thousands of gallons of vodka into those towns. Put it in a shed or warehouse where they would happily "discover" it. Lots of it.

    Then two days later begin an offensive again. They would all be flat on their arses or screwing the goats.

    The secret weapon that has overpowered entire battalions of Ruskies:

    Russian troops in a new combat unit meant to turn the tide in Ukraine keep getting drunk and harassing locals, nearby residents say




    Russia is desperate to make up for devastating troop losses in Ukraine, and it has recently begun training new volunteer battalions that are meant to help it turn the tide in a war that doesn't appear to be going its way.

    But one such unit, the 3rd Army Corps, has troops apparently spending much of their time inebriated and bothering local residents in the area where it's training, per a Wall Street Journal report. Such observations may indicate that these recent recruits lack discipline and will struggle to bolster Russia's war effort in a significant capacity.

    According to the Journal, residents in the town of Mulino — where training has been underway — have been complaining about the new combat unit on social media.

    "The whole village is suffering because of these volunteers," a woman who identified as Ksenia Glotova wrote on the Russian social network VK, the report said. "They walk around in groups and harass. It would be one thing if they were being trained and stayed on their base. But they're walking around drunk from 11 am."

  9. What an idiot! He should be working for MSM. Pulls out some wars that went against Russia and judges Russia's ability solely based on these loses. Educate yourself, far more green than red in Russian history, not to mention that Russia being so fucking moronic and incapable to win wars, remains the biggest country on this planet. How is this even possible? Surely the fucking Fins would have taken a big slice of Russia, what, they didn't want to? hahaha
