I mean I didn't watch the video. Just evidence that he is still alive upto like two months ago or something.

Sure he could be just sitting somewhere and posting this entire time, who knows.

Yeah I wasn't yelling at you I was just interested in what he was talking about. Although considering he didn't really mention any personal anecdotes I get the sense he's not up to much besides reading Telegram

I don't think he faked that beard for some online credibility. Maybe he was doing stuff before, maybe he's less active now.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Here are two images that might go together somehow. I was thinking a gif with one frame having the state property logo and 'help fund Ukraine's reconstruction' or 'exciting goon project opportunities', then a second frame with 'brought to you by' and finally a third frame with the usaid logo, then have the gif be a link to the site.

the people deciding what to send don’t give a poo poo about sending the most effective weapons platforms, if anything they’re going to be trying to avoid prompting escalation from russia beyond the current scope of the war, it’s about bleeding russia and expanding american power, not actually getting ukraine to a military victory

Europe won't have the industrial capacity to replace those weapon systems domestically, so it's also future sales for US weapons manufacturers

Laugh now, tankies. But NAFO can declare our support of Ukraine, NATO, USA, Robert E Lee etc loud and proud. Your love of fascist Russia has to be veiled behind thousands of explanatory paragraphs. Who is really the laughing stock here?

I doubt it. It's the same dynamic of AOC saying abolish ICE and defund police before the 2020 election. It's a shout out to the base, but won't really be policy.

This was such a shocking admission from Arestovich that I actually tracked down the original interview and put it through Google Translate and yeah, it looks like he said that?
https://twitter.com/SprinterMonitor/status/1588320073524969473

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usF9ekHPRho&t=360s

YouTube transcripts/Google Translate posted:

We exhausted our offensive potential because we ourselves do not produce it, we are supplied with everything from the West we spent this operation, even in the North of the Kherson region, [not to mention the?] Kharkov operation, therefore we now do not have stocks that allow us to quickly create one or two Kharkov operations, and happily report there, for example, another breakthrough, a bunch of prisoners, etc.

We will need a certain amount of time to save up, but for the next month, as it seems to me, without special news, but later, and we will have in front of us frozen hungry, exhausted in the Ukrainian steppes, in part, faster that they will not survive after two or three months of the steppe [with just a?] half stove
I don't know if Arestovich is actually in on any internal intelligence or if he's just connecting the dots and spitballing but it's hilarious to just straight up say that most of the army's equipment has been exploded but things will be ok once winter comes because the 300,000 extra enemy troops will be cold.

To be fair Arestovytch shits on Ukraine very often. It's kind of hard to figure him out because everyone always thinks he's bullshitting.

The only thing he really seems to be into is philosophical naval gazing bullshit.

It's still bullshitting too because Ukraine never had the force necessary in place to take Kherson. Then yeah he hedges it by saying Russians will just fall apart on their own anyway.
