I watched that that stream. It was informative. I just tuned out whenever Kimdotcom started talking.

Putin was supposed to give a speech half an hour ago. The news is it will be soon. I half expect it to be a take on The Simpsons "Mayor Quimby declares Mob Rule".

Yup. The other thing being posted by the sources in this thread are: there's no video of Wagner columns on the roads, and there's no videos of Russian v Russian combat.

This twitter account has his manifesto. Backtrack through it and you should be able to find it all. Wagner's saying from what I've seen, that this is more a mutiny than a rebellion. Or a military strike, like what happened in France and Germany in 1917-1918. They want grievances addressed, or so they say, then they'll head back to the front. Ukraine's probing Russian lines around Bakhmut with a couple Marine brigades. My guess is they're trying to figure out what's what, and grab anything that's easy to grab. So it could be a rebellion, it could be a mutiny, could end up being a nothingburger. Nobody's talking about ending the war, but there's still a lot left to play out. We've got the luxury of being able to watch and wait.

I found Prigozhin's video manifesto. Basically the high points are: 1. NATO and Ukraine were never planning to attack. 2. Demilitarization and Denazification were propaganda to spoon feed to the Russian public. 3. The war was started because Putin and his cronies wanted land and cash, and the army wanted a short, victorious war.

So yeah. Is anybody keeping tabs on Russia? Supposedly Wagner PMC is launching a rebellion right now.

I generally hate posting tweets, but Musk lets me without having to join twitter. Good for him I guess. Yevgeniy Prigozhin is the founder and commander of Wagner Mercenary group, "Private Military Contractors" for the politically correct. It's his guys that took Soledar and Bakhmut. He gives a quick summary of Ukraine's operations so far. Watch for yourselves, it ain't that long.

Unfortunately, yes.

Good luck to him. I'm going to enjoy watching him and Trump trade punches. That much will be entertaining at least.

It's alright, I know. I love that Musk lets the whole world read Twitter now without having to sign up. Russian MilBloggers are about the only people on the Russian side that tell something close to the truth.

Rybar is a fairly reliable Russian/Z military blogger on Twitter. His stuff pans out frequently enough, although there's certain propaganda lines he has to adhere to if he doesn't want to end up in a Penal Colony. For instance, he was spot on Ukraine's first counter-attack in Kherson last May being smashed by Russian airstrikes and artillery without doing much. Give him a shot. Posobiec is a tool, and half the time he retweets stuff, it's because he expects the reader to react to his tweet without reading the article.

Not gonna lie, the right answer to that question is Crumbs Along the Mohawk.

Maybe? If you can trip him up with some bull#### about vowel sounds in his last name, that's not great.

To be replaced by two days of all expenses payed "voluntary" team building at some TB12 cult compound.

We've got Mafia of Kazakhstan.

Seriously, quit waffling and commit Washington.

Thanks for writing this out. But after we're done apologizing for America, what do we do to keep Putin from achieving his goals?

Won't know until it happens and I hope it never does. But if I was going to choses a team, it was going to be a team with Lombardis, from somewhere roughly in the northeast, that didn't play in the AFC East.

Straight up. If the Bills ever moved, i was tossing a coin. Heads = Baltimore, Tails = Pittsburgh.

Dude, you're lecturing a forum full of Americans about the "horrific realities of war". As if we haven't lived through the Forever Wars, or watched a generation and a half of our friends and family go off to fight for... reasons? So maybe get off your high horse.

Leaked USAF Documents state that Ukrainian Pilots could trained on the F-16 in as little as 4 months Ukraine sent over two pilots, one qualified on the MiG-29, the other on the SU-27. The timeline comes from evaluations of their performance in simulators. Theses guys were already qualified pilots with a lot of flight time. Not green as grass replacement pilots starting from scratch. It's important to keep that in mind. But it also means that if Ukraine can keep its pilots alive, it's got an idea of how long it takes to transition them over to Western fighters.

I've got a buddy that's telling me to buy Raytheon for about six years now. I should have listened honestly.

Best of luck to them! Hopefully they're all actually impartial mediators. Though it was sorta funny watching China muddle around like it hadn't picked a side. Or pretend like they wouldn't benefit immensely from a decisive Russian victory.

Nice map. A few more people have opened up private lots off of Abbot Road. Laura's Lot (?) had a decent crowd last time I was walking around that area.

Hey now, there were years when Doug Whaley would have been better off drafting a pop up tent.
