We can all be thankful to those who thwarted these attempted assassinations. Pitty there hasn't been a successful one on Putrid.
Oh yee of little faith...
See, They appointed a Boris as Defence minister.
In this capacity, he was also a member of the German-Russian Friendship Group set up in cooperation with the Russian Federation Council.
Sounds like a great fella 😶
He is a Russian-sympathetic minister who will hold the line for Scholz, and push back with reasons why the Bundeswehr cannot supply leopards to Ukraine
swapped one incompetent minister for another
Roses are red, violets are glorious,
Don't expect much, from Boris Pistorius.
Rumours Putin to make special announcement on Ukraine tomorrow.
Only a war crime if they engage in combat wearing foreign uniforms, the mere act of wearing them is not a crime. Note that the German use of US uniforms in the Battle of the Bulge was found in the post-war trials to be a legitimate Ruse de Guerre and thus Skorzeny (the CO of the unit) was acquitted. This has been the case for a couple hundred years, from back when ships of war would sail around under enemy flags. Plus, given Ukrainian digital camo uniforms usually have a ukrainian flag on them, if they no longer are wearing the flag, it's just a camo pattern, not a uniform. The guy's reaching a bit.
"Wagner are mercenaries and the rights of combatants under the geneva convention dont apply to them"
Assuming that the Wagner folks are either Russian citizens or Russian residents, they are not mercenaries under the Geneva Convention and full G.C. protections thus apply. See Additional Prototcol I, Article 47(2)d.
For the record, they also would not count as mercenaries in this conflict under the 1989 UN Mercenary Convention for the same reason. See Art 1, 1(c).
Scholz isn't even trying to hide his true affiliations and sympathies. Nor are the Austrians:
And you can add the Swiss to that grouping of Horde sympathising dirt bags.
Two world wars, a declaration of 'never again', but nothing has changed, really. There's a thin layer of fancy icing been spread on the top to hide the truth, but take a slice and you see it.
A Good example demonstrating why you need Zig-Zag trench patterns and why you should never group up in Trenches.
Those Wagner Prisoner Conscripts certainly prove to be very good meat shields
decoy destroyed
Russia to increase armed forces to1.5 million.
This ain’t stopping anytime soon, the West needs to wake up.
That precision action added 25 to the days tally.
I couldn't listen to him,I tried watching one of his speeches on day,I nearly lost the will to live,what an absolute waffler.
Say what you want about Hitler, at least he could get a crowd going.
What would be the international response if Zalensky was assinated or was very seriously injured from a hit quad attack - but survived. Would that change the whole dynamic of the war? Eg would Putin then become a legit target for assignation. Ie tit for tat. And would other countries get more involved - directly /indirectly?
They're in it for the long haul, relying on quantity as quality. Historically that's very Russian. Screw up massively at first, learn from that and then just keep throwing bodies and machines at the problem. Their population is primed to follow that too, or at least their limits are much higher, in ways that are utterly alien to us in the West.
I am not too sure. It was the solution in the past where quantity was quality. That was then BUT this is now. Will your typical Russian willingly go to the meat grinder for the sake of the motherland as was the case in the past. I expect that most Russians are much more aware of what’s going on, the hippo a y that’s out there , the level of corruption is much better understood, the level of poverty that’s there and can now be avoided by a fairer distribution of wealth All this new information is there THANKS to the internet/ mobile phone. Also a lot of Ru getting a lot of reports from the front. , etc, etc, etc.
All Ru do not need a mobile to become aware of what’s really going on / what’s out there. Their friends, family , etc, will tell them.
And you wouldn't hear him playing jungle music at three in the morning.
Should be shared as widely as possible by our resident Russians in Ireland back to the motherland.
I've seen some rumours that Putin could be planning to attack Lviv in the far west, coming through Belarus. Open up a new front so to speak, but it's all speculation.
That's exactly the point, Russian citizens are no technological fools, they have and use much the same digital technology as the rest of us. They may be able to force some into military units but that will getting exponentially harder.
Sure they know, at least the younger generation, but when they are motivated to do something about it, protest etc. Putin hits them, and hits them very hard. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago is alive and well. And was filling up nicely until Wagner started to conscript convicts, so plenty of room now for protesters. So far, there are little wisps, barely noticeable of steam escaping from the Putin war kettle, but as the heat increases, more steam will be generated. Question is what will it take to generate enough steam to blow the lid right off...? So far 116'000 deaths, and multiples of that injured, mobilization of 300'00 and now a planned additional mobilization of another 700'000 has not been enough to mobilize enough anti-war anti-Putin sentiment. It could be that Ukraine will have to fight Putin all the way back to the 1991 borders, hopefully not, but its possible.
Those mobilised to date have mostly come from far flung rural areas, prisons etc. I suspect the Russian population's stomach for feeding their young men to the meat grinder is more likely to change (and the young men themselves are more likely to organise and resist) as the mobilisations have to start conscripting those from more developed urban areas like St Petersburg, Moscow etc.
My mother's travelled fairly extensively in Russia and according to her (and others I've spoken to who've travelled around Russia), while those urban centres that tourists tend to visit are modern societies not too dissimilar to our own, once you get out into the rural hinterlands, it's like travelling back in time to rural Ireland of the 40s or 50s.
Oh they see the mobilisation, but the numbers dead? I mean we don't believe the Russians when they claim a similar number of Ukrainian casualities. Why should they believe the figures? And yes certainly many will be looking at western sources, but an awful lot especially beyond the main cities will be looking at RusskiTV. Hell there are enough eejits in the West that buy the Russian stuff, hook line and sinker while they've been born and bred in the democratic liberal West, with Western media of all kinds is all around them.
Oh I still say Russia is doomed in her present form, it's just a question of how long that takes and what form it takes.
Yeah, but Hitler had Goebbels as his minister for propaganda, obviously Putins minister Surkov is not un the same class.....he would start avoiding high windows, or drinking cups of tea,,,
Sure, that's happening all right. None the less after what happened in Makiivka. where hundreds of Russian soldiers were gathered in a building which also served as an ammunition dump which and was hit by Ukrainian shelling, and many lost their lives ( exact figures unclear,) Most of these soldiers were from Samara, and for sure, they know the exact figure of their missing / dead, and I would not like to be the local mobilization officer there, when he has to round up more recruits.
We're approaching endgame here. putler can only go through so many waves of human meat before he runs out of fighting men.
Most of the original orc invasion force was destroyed and now putler is rapidly burning through the 300k conscripted mobiks. He needs to raise a new force now so it will be ready in 1-2 months time when the rest of the 300k mobiks are dead or in hospital. The third batch of mobiks will be old men and kids and it will be the last. They will be slaughtered in even greater numbers than those that came before them.
Very soon there is going to be a collapse on the Russian front and it will be like Kharkiv all over again.
I hope that you are right. But there's still a lot of death and destruction left in Vladimir Putin and his murderous team.
Awkward moment on Russian state TV as someone touches on the truth
No, seems like it is all part of the charade.
Using human wave attacks against Ukraine shows just how desperate a position putler and the orcs are in.
It won't last long.
