Русский корабль - иди нахуй

There is no difference between the Ukrainians tracking some high-ranking officers and cutting loose and killing them with HIMARS when they happen to get within range, and a Ukrainian agent tracking and shooting an individual officer.  That missile and that agent are both weapons of the state in a time of war, and that Russian officer, even when he is inside of Russia or Russian-controlled territory, is a lawful enemy combatant.

I want to think some badass Ukrainian tracked him down.  But at the same time, it could just as easily have been some smart guy who's brother got conscripted or something.

NATO will be a 32 member bloc with 1 billion people. Those 32 members compose by far the biggest chunk of high income/development/innovation societies in the world. 

Militarily, the leading member of the bloc is the most powerful single nation and several more hover in the top ten. Combined, easily the most powerful, best equipped, best trained, most capable military force in human history. 

 

 

I like our chances against the aliens.

Tough one - not going to post all photos/tweets, you can click through if you want.

Andrii - voluntarily mobilized. Before the full scall war, he sang in a choir and loved to travel. And he also has a beloved wife, Alina. She is the one who takes very touching care of him today,she lives with him in the hospital. For several months, Andrii took the Military Commissariat as a wall in order to get to the front. That is how he ended up in the 47th brigade, where he headed the air reconnaissance unit.

Quote

While performing a combat mission, Andrii came under fire. One of the shells exploded right under his feet. Andrii's brothers and the medics who evacuated him were sure that they would not take the boy. Meanwhile, Andriy himself was conscious until the last and gave orders.

Quote

Andriy lost both hands, eyes and partially hearing. He had almost no face, but now, thanks to the titanic work of the doctors, it is hardly noticeable. Alina helps him eat, meets a physiotherapist, and after the procedure - just lies down next to him. And the way they lie together says more than any words. It is interesting that Andriy constantly analyzes what he did wrong. If he left the position earlier, or, on the contrary, delayed. But he never thinks that he might not go to war.

Quote

Today, he is stable, but Andriy and Alina will still have to undergo complex rehabilitation. In addition, they are actively studying the possibilities of the so-called bionic vision. All this requires a lot of money. You can support him and his family on the page of his wife Alina:

This is how I look at the morality and wisdom of making every Russian commander worry that they may be shot  on their morning jog:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Reinhard_Heydrich
 
You are a soldier and you’re part of the infrastructure needed to launch missiles at people in pizza parlors and hospitals. Are they following orders? Do they get to sleep at night in peace?  
 
No. Fuck you. Catch a flight to Georgia. Read about what the Allies did to Japanese and Nazi military commanders who followed orders. You’re not special. 


They should be hunted down and killed wherever they are, even years after this phase of the war has ended. Never fully sleep, never be at peace. You are hunted. Until you are killed.
I have 'em on the equivalent of speed dial. The leadership in Europe is inspirational to say the least, and a refreshing benchmark of the depth that American politics have reached.

Ringing the old Brisket bell there. Love them.

Ukr special ops dudes will be assassinating Russians long after this war is over. 
 
Looking at you, Margarita. 

Hell. Yes. The day that her eyes fully grasp the death that is visiting her in that moment, close up, by Ukrainian hands, will be perfection. And then those eyes will glaze over, signifying a positive transition for humanity.

If anyone is deserving of a buckwheat, it's probably her.  Well, her and a few others.

If they need Wagner back in Ukraine, they must be seriously hurting for manpower.  

The predictions of Prilosec’s imminent death were way off. He’s not only not dead, he’s back in business.

I’m done trying to make sense of it. But it’s clear Putin is incredibly weak and incredibly desperate.

Stranger question, after getting the money, why the hell would they actually go now.?  What mercenary is actually going to Ukraine without getting up front cash from these clowns?

Dear 8 pound, 6 ounce Baby Jesus, let the Ukrainians surround and destroy every single Russian left in Bakhmut……so that Putin can order Wagner to try to take it again in August.  In Thy Old Testament genocidal way we pray, A-men!

I can’t even figure out who came out of this deal looking like the bigger bitch. Putin because Priggy shot down Russian airplanes and literally nothing happened to him? Or Priggy because he rebelled and Putin told him to shut the fuck up and get his ass back to Bakhmut?

Both Finland and Sweden have had elections since their applications to NATO and both countries have elected governments that are even more pro-NATO than their predecessors.

In fact, Sweden’s election in October 2022 removed the coalition that Turkey didn’t like which is a big reason why Erdogan got what he wanted from Sweden.

Remember Prighozin stating that the real purpose of the war was to enrich Russian oligarchs?

In occupied Ukraine, corporate mergers and acquisitions begin with a visit from masked gunmen

The FSB plans to send Svetlana Pankova from Henichesk, who advised the Russian military to put seeds in their pockets, to Russia to conduct a trial under the article "extremism"

We absofuckinglutely should send a team to grab her.

So, this is my own back-of-the-envelope work, sourced by news googles and Wikipedia. Feel free to correct me. 
 
I’m interested in KIA, more as a gauge of relative national distress than of attrition. The Civil War and WWI showed us nations can handle a lot more attrition than we see today, if they have to. 
 
Ukraine had a pre-war population of 44 million. After annexation of areas and emigration, let’s figure they’re around 35 million. They have suffered about 20k KIA and another 20k civilian deaths (the U.S. estimate of civilian deaths is much higher than the Ukrainian). 
 
Russia has a population of about 140 million and seen about 70k KIA. However, it’s not that simple. 20k of Russian KIA are Wagner troops and most of them are poorly trained prisoners. Their families may miss them, but Russian society won’t. 
 
About 11k of Russian losses are conscripts from Donetsk and Luhansk (combined population of 6.4 million). They are grabbing these guys off the street, sending them to the front and saying, “if you turn around, we’ll shoot you”. (And they mean it). 
 
That leaves about 40k KIA from regular Russian troops. (I have no idea how to appraise KIA from Chechens). I’m guessing most low rank Russian KIA are from the hinter regions. 
 
So, Ukrainian troops get twice the per capita mortality as regular Russian troops. DPR and LPR troops get about 2.5 times the mortality of Ukrainian troops, about five times the per capita mortality of the regular Russian army troops. 

Does this seem right? If so, the good news is Russia is running low on the easily expendable conscript sources and will have to use more regular Russians in their ridiculous tactics.

They've already started dragging students out of university. Heard that a couple weeks ago.

Good. 
 
This sounds callous, but with human nature as it is- think about if the US were in a war, and the government only allowed supportive media, and most of the deaths were prisoners, migrant workers and the most impoverished? People don’t start paying attention until it starts hitting closer to home.

I've had a related thought based on COVID.  We had a million excess deaths, and people only noticed if they chose to.  I think that bodes poorly for this war, where the press there chooses not to notice.

College grads would never be mobilized in the US. They won't let 100k in student loans die in combat.
