Time to boot Russia from the UN Security Council. Not even kidding. Absolutely! NATO is proving what a feckless bunch of asshats they are by not having done so already. Nato has no sway over the un. Russia is a permanent member of the security council and cant be removed. Best bet is for us to withdraw from the un and deport all the diplomats. Effectively shutting it down until other nations could relocate it. |

Telegraph is reporting British Volunteers may have triggered the strike on a Western Ukrainian Base. 4chan is insinuating that those volunteers may have been the Reddit brigade. Not sure that's the case obviously Link is behind a paywall otherwise I'd post the article. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/03/19/british-volunteer-fighters-may-have-triggered-deadly-strike/ British volunteer fighters may have triggered deadly strike on Ukrainian base after their phones were detected. British volunteer fighters are feared to have triggered a deadly airstrike on a Ukrainian military base after their phones were detected in the area, the Telegraph can reveal. View Quote |

Use a shovel to remove a whole bunch of dirt from under the tracks but leave it looking normal. It obviously sounds primitive and wyle-e-coyote. But I'll bet it would cause a derailment. How long does it take to fix a train derailment? How fast can they move after it happens once? View Quote |

The corpses of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine are being moved from Belarus back to Russia by train and planes in the dead of night to avoid attracting attention, it has emerged. Video posted by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty shows military ambulances driving through the Belarusian city of Homel in early March, with employees at the region's clinical hospital claiming more than 2,500 bodies have already been shipped back to Russia as of March 13. Ukraine's military says that more than 14,000 Kremlin troops have been killed since the Russian invasion on February 24, while one US intelligence estimate has put the number at around 7,000. Moscow's Defence Ministry says that less than 500 soldiers have been killed. Now Belarusian medical staff in Homel, in southeastern Belarus, have described 'overflowing' morgues, with one resident of the city Mazyr claiming: 'Passengers at the Mazyr train station were shocked by the number of corpses being loaded on the train. After people started shooting video, the military caught them and ordered them to remove it.' A doctor at Mazyr's main city hospital warned: 'There are not enough surgeons. Earlier, the corpses were transported by ambulances and loaded on Russian trains. After someone made a video about it and it went on the Internet, the bodies were loaded at night so as not to attract attention.' Officials at Hospital No4 in Homel are alleged to have begun discharging current patients on March 1 because of the sheer number of wounded Russian soldiers to treat. One resident who was treated in the hospital said: 'There are so many wounded Russians there it's just a horror. Terribly disfigured. It is impossible to listen to their moans throughout the whole hospital.' Another doctor described growing concern among locals that there could be a shortage of everyday medication and of 'problems with anti-tetanus drugs'. Tetanus is a common ailment afflicting soldiers suffering from shrapnel and bullet wounds. Homel borders Russia to the east and Ukraine to the south. The city of Homel is Belarus' largest after Minsk, and a major hub for trade and transport. The country's despot Alexander Lukashenko supports Putin's war and allowed a deployment of major Russian military units in the country. An unknown number of Russian troops moved south towards Ukraine's capital Kyiv from Homel. View Quote |

A history of the Crimean War (1853-1856) includes this bit:
Russia's backwardness had been exposed....The Crimean disaster had exposed the shortcomings of every institution in Russia – not just the corruption and incompetence of the military command, the technological backwardness of the army and navy, or the inadequate roads and lack of railways the accounted for the chronic problems of supply, but the poor condition and illiteracy of the serfs who made up the armed forces, the inability of the serf economy to sustain a state of war against industrial powers, and the failures of autocracy itself. View Quote How familiar does any of that sound today? And the part I bolded is the key both then and now. Putin runs a government as autocratic as the Tsars, and the Duma today has no more power and authority than it ever did. Autocratic governments will always fall behind free systems in their economies, culture, and technology - all the things that are needed to win major wars. The Russian generals and middle-managers need to realize that a free society is necessary, and Putin is the barrier holding Russia back. |

The impact of world support for Ukraine and therefore the weapons they need in order to stand a chance is way, way, way more important than the future of some POWs. True. And there will be no "next country." Zeihan said this is Russia's last war, and it sure looks like it. Equipment, personnel, and institutional knowledge losses will leave Russia unable to do anything more than defend their own borders for a generation (and maybe not even that, given how much border they have). Russia may yet be able to squeeze out a victory in Ukraine, but the cost to do so will certainly leave them unable to go any further. |
