Ukraine and Only Ukraine. If it isn't about Ukraine then fuck off

Keep tightening sanctions and sending longer range weapons. If Russian elites and leaders have to fight to prevent being torn limb from limb in the revolution they might be less inclined or able to purchase other countries’ political parties and/or meddle in their affairs.

Do I have any other opinions? Please tell me what those are, just so I know.

You do and they’re all terrible. For instance you think the Uvalde cops weren’t cowards. The the list goes on.…

I'm not going to bother looking up where you argued with me that Girkin was a milblogger and analyst, not an ultra-nationalist. Which he is, and a war criminal many times over.

He's always been an ultra nationalist in my view so I know I never said that. You're making shit up.

Few know more about war than Igor "Strelkov" Girkin, and few have better connections to the Russian military. He's qualifies as an analyst.

I see you big enough to admit to being wrong, Barf. Thanks. Ultra nationalism was not part of that discussion.

Another successful rocket interception by Russia’s impenetrable air defense system

If you still have people around you that mumble about NATO expansion;
whip up a map of the area.

No Russian missile attack last night....
Russian state propagandist last night very subdued about the drone attack in Moscow.
No panic, keep calm etc.
Girkin and Greyzone (wagner) more scathing.

But Ukraine drones strikes in Krasnador, Kuban oblast. Next to Crimea.
They had drones hits before, and sea drones, and did see the Kerch bridge blown up.

At night, drones attacked the Afipsky Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar Territory. The attack took place around 4-3 am, after which a strong fire started at the site. One of the fuel oil distillation units caught fire.

100 Leopard-1 tanks will be delivered to Ukraine earlier than expected. Germany's Rheinmetall worked very hard to make them battle-ready.
In total, some 230 tanks and 1550 armoured vehicles will be delivered.

Russia has to up their game plan, they have enough man potentially, but their material... gone are the video's of mass deliveries to the Rus front.

Regarding the counteroffensive:

 

[LeoV]

Always nice to see infighting.

Russian Telegram channels published a video of Prigozhin's children, Pavel (in a baseball cap) and Veronika, in Karelia. They are filmed singing a song where they call themselves elite and oligarchs while others beg for coins and scrub floors. Prigozhin himself confirmed that the video is authentic. He claims it was filmed in the summer of 2022 (so the full-scale war was already going on). Prigozhin says the videos and photos were stolen by a special cyber department of Russian defense ministry.

No other option for Pigo then to send them to the front lines. At least that was what he was proposing for other oligarchs children.

WTF is wrong with the French?

Strange staging to see Ukrainian colours on the floor.

WTF is wrong with the French?

They are hard to figure out. They can roll as hard as anyone if not harder when the mood strikes, but they mostly try and puss out and keep doing business with whomever.
* See The Battle of Algiers, the French fought pretty much like the Waffen-SS would have and it worked. Maybe just by coincidence, some former SS soldiers found a new home in the French Foreign Legion.
