I doubt Japan, NZ, or Australia, will join NATO. There are a lot of NATO members who really don't want to get involved in Pacific geopolitics, and I'd imagine building a consensus in countries like Germany, Hungary, and Spain on the possibility of being dragged in to a shooting war with China is going to be impossible.

The reports of Russians fragging each other for trying to surrender are true. A Russian tried to signal to a drone that he wanted to surrender, the drone dropped a note for him to follow, and the other Russians backshot him as he tried to surrender. He managed to live and surrender successfully. Morale is exceedingly high!

New intercepted phone call dropped. It involves two Russians bemoaning the poor pay and lack of pay, while thinking of how badly Russia's economy and military-industrial complex was affected by the sanctions. They point out the country may soon go bankrupt if the current state of affairs continues, never mind if more sanctions are added on. They also point out they're basically screwed even for the basic things that Ukraine has in abundance, such as drones.

The 72nd Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade abandoned their positions in Bakhmut and have fled. I thought it was just Prigozhin doing his usual bullshit but no it seems he was actually telling the truth about that one

Kyiv Independent posted:

Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade confirmed on May 9 that the 72nd Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces has fled Bakhmut.

The news, prior to the confirmation, was originally announced by Wagner mercenary group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin.

"Prigozhin's report about the escape of the 72nd Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces from Bakhmut and the '500 corpses' of Russians who remained there is true. The Third Assault Brigade is grateful for the publicity of our success at the front," the Third Assault Brigade wrote.

According to the statement, assault troops killed 64 Russian soldiers during offensive operations in the southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut.

Additionally, "another 87 were on the way," the statement read. Among the casualties were Wagner mercenaries. Five Russian soldiers were also captured.

Bakhmut has been the epicenter of fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces for the past nine months.

Wagner mercenaries have served as the primary shock troops in Russia's attempts to expand its control over Donetsk Oblast. However, in the past nine months, they have only made incremental gains, with Ukraine still holding parts of the city.

And only thing that would change if by miracle Russia takes over the remaining ruins is that the front moves some hundred meters or maybe few kilometers outside the city ruins. WW1 revisited for the Russians.
