Definitely something brewing. Hopefully they've got a good plan for the counterattack.

Hopefully it's something along the lines of, "riding a truck through hundreds of kms of abandoned Ukrainian territory because HIMARS, Leopards, Bradley's, and a host of other western armoured assets sent what remains of the Russian army on a full sprint to the border."

Strange to see Prigozhin being the sane one in the room, if only because he at least floated "can't we just say we won and go home?"

He's likely saying that because he finds himself closest to the window while Putin's in a pushy mood.

Solovyov wailing about anything, be they muh nooks or his seized villas, will never not be hilarious. It's after all the impotent seething of a dancing clown that knows all is lost but somehow thinks that things can still be turned around, and he can go right back to Lake Como if he wants.

Trying to figure out how losing half the territory they gained in 2022 is going to be spun as a positive is my favorite, because right-wing ideologues finally realized they never had to acknowledge reality anymore (well and some of these people probably never did in the first place)

A lot of bombed out destroyed infrastructure in those regions. Very costly to build up to acceptable standards. Will take a very long time, and will be very expensive, very expensive indeed. The smart move is to pull out now, and let the Ukrainians pay for all that *taps forehead*

She's set her account private now, but apparently oft-cited twitter poster "Donbass Devushka" (@peimenipusha) is in reality a US Navy mechanic from new jersey

quote:

As a podcast host, Ms. Bils, originally from New Jersey, spoke with a slight Russian accent and claimed to have been born in Luhansk, in the Russian-controlled Donbas. In an interview, Ms. Bils said she had “some” Russian heritage, without providing details.

There was some neoliberal bellyaching over the prospect of governments expropriating assets of corporations and private citizens from hostile foreign powers. "But what if MY yacht in Macao were seized when China invaded Taiwan?!" Idk, maybe don't invest in or have assets in authoritarian countries looking to commit imperialism?

Weird how another tweet by that account claims (incorrectly) they are in Ukraine already. The correct tweet was made later, but on their profile I only see the older, incorrect one. Of course, Twitter is constantly breaking down lately, might just be that.
