  1. More from the Prigozhin rant:
  2. This dude is really classing up the joint with his Sauer 100.
  3. Kicking the counteroffensive off in a serious way over a US holiday weekend would be good for publicity and the political capital that follows.
  4. That Prigozhin is saying that today is indicative that they still have no fucking strategy in this conflict AT ALL. They LITERALLY still can’t decide if this is a squabble amongst neighbors or axe murder.
  5. Another good Prigozhin rant today, this is like a Dave Chappell sketch:
  6. Jive video collection / side by side comparison of the first Chechen war to current Ukraine war:
  7. African lions are the exception and eat they’re prey alive frequently, starting from the back and just wildly brutal. It’s like they’d prefer to listen to the thing squeal as they’re gnawing on it. I did once see a tables-turned scenario where a bull Cape Buffalo came up on a den of lion cubs, and he promptly ground them all into the dirt until they stopped moving. A guy once wrote he never saw a wild thing sorry for itself, but I think it’s also true that wild thinks don’t give a fuck about feelings.
  8. Today has been a crazy day, like can’t make this shit up crazy. Piling on, Solovyov reportedly has two American kids:

    Wife read some idiotic shit on the internet that made her believe that constipation is a chronic downward spiral condition that if it isn’t aggressively treated immediately will result in the kid having a fucked up colon and being addicted to laxatives their whole life. This event could be cross-posted in the stupid shit wives do thread.

    @Prepuce of Doom The 10yo crapped her pants yesterday after the wife loaded her up with 3 days straight of miralax, so afterwards maybe the 13yo was making a statement of solidarity that I under appreciated…

    The 13yo put this outside her door as some sort of protest against some slight. Told her I’ve never heard of the guy.
  12. Another Boris Groh piece, “Is it for Me?” If I was Lockheed I’d commission him for some murals.
  13. Titled “Our Lovely Neighbor”. Boris Groh is talented. His “Smoking is Bad”:
  14. Regarding the “is Russia out of missiles or not” debate:
  15. from a Ukrainian armor chop shop about 6 months ago: One scenario I’m imagining for this to occur is that when the barrel was drilled, the bit wandered, so the bore of the barrel actually curves as it goes from breach to muzzle. Fucking yikes. Definitely going to be a wear problem.
  16. Ukrainian trench footage, good audio of bullets cracking/hissing by, then our guy get winged. Kept his head and doc put a tourniquet on.
  17. Ive had to step back from the war for a little while so I’m not as dialed in on the F-16 issue currently. What is the lack of political will based on if it’s not actively wanting Putin to win or pure isolationism/not wanting to allocate the resources? I guess I could see door number three as being bad press if some get shot down, but there’s an equally plausible chance at this point that the Ukrainians use them to good effect, like they have with everything else we’ve sent them. And yeah some will get shot down, it’s war. Patriot batteries haven’t had this much press since 1991. It’s like a reunion tour.
  18. Keeping the Russians in Bakhmut also is buying the Ukrainians a lot of invaluable time to train, equip, supply, organize, etc.; somewhat like Travis did for Houston. I’m sure the Ukrainians wish more material would get there faster so they could get more troops trained up on it, but at some point you’re just going to have to go and rely on the late arriving gear (Abrams, F16s, etc.) to be your reinforcements/second wave. My gut feels they need to go in May/early June.
  19. Let slip the dogs of war Prigzohin video link
  20. I’m sure this has already been posted but Prigozhin basically lays out the entire Russian political and military systemic issue here like he’s quoting One Soldier’s War, and there are some great translations: Joint Chiefs of Stuff should be a reggae band. He cracks off a bunch of one liners like the second one (colon just makes it better) likes he’s been taking pages from Girkin.

    10yr old to 13yr old: “shut your pot hole”
  22. I mean, taking Houston is going to require about an order of magnitude more troops/coordination that taking San Marcos. Big Cities are hard to subdue unless you incinerate them. The funniest part is that Bakmut isn’t big, AND the Russians have shelled it to smoldering ruins, and they still can’t fucking take it. I mean WTF. The thought experiment I’m thinking about is: if you had transported 1-2 Corps of the 1812 Napoleonic Grande Armee to the Russian side 6-9 months ago, I feel like they might have accomplished more than the Russians have.
  23. Your takes are extremely grating in one way because you present shit like this as unquestioned fact/obvious inference, when it it not. The Iraqis and Ukrainians had about the same size army and about the same number of T-72 vintage tanks. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/iraq-iraqs-prewar-military-capabilities https://www.statista.com/statistics/1296573/russia-ukraine-military-comparison/ A big difference maker is that over the last ~50 years the NATO countries and western Defense companies have developed tech that is comically effective at destroying T-72s and all other Russian shit, while the Russian Army/defense industry funding has been diverted to palaces and mega yachts, where, admittedly, the Russians have shown to be a dominant international power.
