It boggles my mind that russia is still expending cruise missiles against civilians while they are in the middle of attempting to fight off the Ukrainian counter offensive.
London blitz all over again. Edit. My first page own. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zhukov: Someone theorize on this whole Prigozhin/Shoigu thing. I get the whole MoD vs FSB thing, and that Putin can use the two fighting each other to keep them relatively weak or on their toes at least, but... It is absolutely NUTS to allow the kind of strife. Prigozhin has been flapping his jaws for months and now directly threatening Shoigu with death? That is just insane. And not a word by Putin? That is more than just letting two rivals nickel and dome each other behind the scenes - this is open sedition. What the hell is Putin doing by allowing it to that extent? Has he lost control of the two? I just don't get how this is good for Russia in any way. "A house divided cannot stand" What if Putin is already dead or on the precipice. The one photo several pages ago had him looking very rough. |

Well he heard something and stood up and turned around and MacArthur and his entourage went walking right past him. Everyone else saluted except my grandfather who was in shock. Just stood there with a dumb look on his face and I think he got mean mugged by some officers. He didn’t get in trouble though.

If shooting starts up between the regulars and Wagner, shit will get very interesting. If the Chechens have already sided with the regulars, it could be a glorious Orc bloodbath. Interesting times indeed. Besides getting a big supply of meat bags to buffer for his core troops, Prigozhin was also harvesting their pay.

My first page own. my guess is they don't have the ability to locate and communicate well enough to target non static targets. it's probably also not an easy task in a strict top down structure to have people near the front tell the high ups what to target. so that would leave people far in the rear looking at less than real time satellite images looking for targets. and it sounds like their satellites are not nearly as good as we were lead to believe. |
