Wagner boss admits that they have lost tens of thousand of troops. I can't tell if he is speaking to Russian audience or Western audience (the enemy). I have noticed that this guy criticizes top people in the Kremlin. You don't criticize Putin's people and get away with it unless he was allowed to. Something is odd.

The battle rages on in Bakhmut. If Wagner mercenaries pull out, Russian troops will just replace them. They will be better armed. That is worse for Ukraine. This is my own assessment.

Is that a rotary dial phone on the wall next to him? Damn I haven't seen one of those in over 40 years.

Ukraine reports they took out one of the Aggressor's supersonic missiles with a Patriot system today. Russia has claimed both invincibility of their weapon and that the Patriot system is outdated and of limited value. Another blow to Russian prestige.

yeah, we have two Rambos here. Russia, behold. The very moment they get off the couches and, actually, even just visit Ukraine, you will have to surrender unconditionally!

This is so far from the historical reality that it is not even worth commenting.



I can't hold myself from not adding a historical parallel. Back in time, a certain high ranked person called one Ferdinand Porsche and ordered him to develop a reliable passenger car, that will fit four and any working G.... family could afford. That ended with the world longest lasting production vehicle. To your remark about Trabants.

"USSR welfare..." - Moscow was a parasite feeding on East Europe, and they have it in living memory.

Prigozhyn is a funny man.
Regardless of his rant, his troops keep fighting.
He said yesterday, there's only 2.5 km of Bakhmut left to work through. He, also, claimed that AFU loses 400-600 people a day. #200.

They were very disruptive with their usual obnoxious behavior during that assembly, so I think the Turks that were hosting it, lost their patience and removed them from the room.


But Ukrainian propaganda wouldn't show you this part, now would they?

P.S. Yet another terrorist attack in Russia, orchestrated by Ukrainians. ( I assume it took place in Moscow... sorry, Nizhniy Novgorod it looks like.)


The targeted person is in the hospital ( thanks lord he dropped his daughter off before the explosion,) his bodyguard is dead.

I am looking into further details.
