We thought Putin is sitting behind absurdly long meeting tables because he is afraid of germs. But the truth is that he's afraid of his genitals being near another man's genitals because it would turn him gay.

Chauvinist ultrafragile masculinity is a great tool to paper over the utter devastation that is modern cleptocratic Russia. "Yeah Russia sucks big time and the government is a corrupt poo poo heap ruled by a literal mass murderer but if you can't deal with it then you're effeminate and gay and deserve to be purged to keep Russia pure" is a great ideology for keeping people in line

Also - Zaluzhnyi is not dead, but someone had hand in general vicinity of his scrotum, which is even worse

In order to maintain stability and prevent Confusion, the Russian government has decided that although Zaluzhnyi survived in this post-Truth era it is more convenient for him to have been dead. As such, they are having him executed immediately to correct this error. :commissar:

Hopefully someone will see this and make an offer. Gotta be tough to get an acknowledgement from Petraeus the other day and be recognized for the value they are providing, and then not actually be getting anywhere with it while the whole MIC goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr with piles of money is being thrown around, just not at them.

And it's got to be weird at some point because it makes them a target as well.

I agree, but accepting money directly from any kind of "MIC institution" would also have downsides and could hurt their credibility, or at least give Russian propaganda some ammo for attacking them.

I think Bellingcat is a good example. Whatever you may think of Brown Moses, Bellingcat are clearly very aggressively attacked as being a CIA psy-op - and these claims have stuck to an extent, because they do indeed get some funding indirectly from the US, via the National Endowment for Democracy (or whatever, can't remember all the details). It doesn't necessarily mean they are lapdog stooges of American imperialism, but it does make it harder for them to defend their independence, impartiality and accuracy.

Given the importance of Oryx statistics being perceived as objective and impartial, I'm not sure direct funding from Western govt-affiliated organisations is the best way. Crowd-funding might be better approach in this instance.

As stated elsewhere, he's not doing this for the money. He specifically gives away what donations he gets to charity. I assume he wanted his group to be picked up by a real news org, but then his health scares made it impractical.

If tankies don't like you they'll claim that you're a CIA op regardless. If there's no public funding the tankies will claim it's obviously coming so secretly that only they have the power to detect it. The people attacking Bellingcat don't care about the funding, they care that it's exposing crimes by regimes they would rather make excuses for.

Brings to mind that Tywinn Lannister quote "Any man who says I am the king is no true king". It seems to apply to manliness too. There is nothing as unmanly as some whiny little poo poo who constantly needs to prove how manly he is, and is so loving scared all the time about being emasculated in the slightlest. It's like their entire loving lives revolve around proving themselves.

I see where you’re coming from and it makes a lot of sense. But maybe even more importantly, if someone from the lowest Russian prison caste touches you, then you instantly get demoted to that caste and have to sleep by the toilets or something. He’d be insane to not stay out of everyone’s reach just in case.

It does seem like they've been tapping the brakes a little bit. Ukraine is facing real obstacles and doesn't want to feed its forces into a meatgrinder until they can find a better way through.

Maps are basically art, so looking at them with other men is really gay. Planning things also involves talking about the future with men, which is sort of gay as well. Better to skip both of these activities and get deployed straight to the trench like a real man.

Spending time in a trench with other men? Now that's uber-gay. So just leap out of it and blindly assault the enemy.

However now that i think about it, madly rushing to jump into another trench with other men is about the gayest thing i can think of. So just get yourself killed instead.

Except getting shot means getting penetrated by a man. War is hell, there's no winning for a Russian hyper masculine soldier.

Direct frontal assault at scale against prepared fortifications is always going to be a meat grinder. Breaching is considered the most difficult military operation for a good and horrific reason. Without plenty of mixed inventory of materiel for suppression, it's unthinkable, really. And afterwards, replenishment needs are going to be really high.

Aren't they attacking head-first into the most fortified part of the front? Its going to be a meatgrinder unless Russians just decide to run away, which they aren't doing as it seems.

I hosed up! I'm sorry!

There was a post here, but I deleted it.

I was angry and posted sarcasm, like a moron. I should not have posted.

Specifically, I was angry about the fact that when Ukraine's commander in chief was found not to be dead as some authoritarian shitheels had claimed, but rather was found leaning over maps making plans, the authoritarian shitheels pointed out that while he was leaning, his subordinate's hand was closer than a yard to his crotch. Those statements are really gross to me, when the Russian war machine is a horror show of rape and torture of everyone from their own rooster soldiers to innocent civilians of all ages being robbed, mutilated and murdered. So I made a post about what if that logic was actually real, if that's actually how authoritarian shitheels actually think, how do you beat them using their own logic? Of course you don't, because they don't use logic, they use terror, and you can't use terror to fight terror. Which is what I entirely failed to get across in that post.

Sarcasm is a tool I reach for when angry, and I shouldn't have.

I'm sorry, and I regret posting.
