So will the Poland soldiers get a piece of fabric strap on their arms too. Will it be blue color or red/white colors?

Frosted Flake posted:Extremely curious who the conspicuous civilian woman is in the group photo. The photo credit is Staff Sgt. Philip Steiner, US Army, which is a little funny. quote:Konstantyn Iwanowicz Ostrozky was a Ruthenian prince and magnate of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later a Grand Hetman of Lithuania from 11 September 1497 until his death. lol Honestly, this seems like the weaker version of the three sisters arrangement.

BearsBearsBears posted:Guns don't work without bullets. Haven't you ever seen an action movie where the hero gives the secret villain a gun and then when the villain tries to shoot the hero the gun is unloaded? Maybe they wanted to see if he would try to shoot his way out. right.. so I see the new thing instead of keeping a list of Russian generals that have been killed in the SMO will be a list of Russian generals that Putin is keeping under top secret house arrest because they attempted to coup him. What fun

DancingShade posted:I don't know, how long does it take to fulfill an order of lets say 5000 cavalry horses from the open market? "The Union army, took civilian stock in the aftermath of Gettysburg (July 3). Their quartermaster immediately called for 2,000 cavalry mounts and 1,500 artillery horses to get the northern force back up to standard. In response, the secretary of war ordered impressment of all serviceable horses in the region. That emergency policy, however, was short-lived because Union quartermaster Meigs had 7,000 replacement horses from various supply depots on the way to the Army of the Potomac by July 7." I'm assuming Poland still relies on horses for agriculture so this should be no problem. Unless an evil occupier industrialized them, built heavy industry and assisted them in the mechanization of agriculture sometime in the past 100 years...

https://twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1666970725415100419 https://twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1673877975463493632 I can see why western media is so desperate to believe that Russia is about to collapse from the fallout of the Hot Dog Coup: 3 weeks into the Ukrainian offensive and even the most slavafied sources are saying they haven't reached the first Russian defensive line. Attacking into prepared defenses really looks like it's beyond Ukraine's capabilities. The question now is whether they call it off soon, or keep going until NATO has to give them a 4th army.

So the pizza parlor strike is another example of Ukraine keeping its military assets in with civilians, either carelessly or as human shields, as documented in the Amnesty International report?

V. Illych L. posted:i'm going to die over this poo poo quote:26% of respondents in Ukraine and 29% abroad agreed with the statement “Russia is fighting against the West/NATO in Ukraine”; this idea continuing to be framed as Russian propaganda a year into the war is so funny. All our leaders are patting themselves on the back over how many arms we send Ukraine to defend the western world, but if the Russians say this they are spreading disinformation.

Starsfan posted:right.. Don't forget that according to MI6 the Putin we know is a body double that replaced the original. If Putin (or rather his double) has that kind of technology then there's no reason he couldn't use it again. Any Russian generals that are reported arrested and then seen in public are actually body doubles of the original. Edit: While researching this comment I found this wiki page on all the times Putin has died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_of_Vladimir_Putin%27s_death_or_incapacity So the guy the body double replaced probably isn't even the original Putin.

I'm trying to catch up on the Prigozhin insanity. Based on the statement he gave, it looks like the plan was to march a column to Rostov to raise a big stink and protest over Wagner getting dissolved, and then to turn over their weapons with the maximum amount of drama, because Prigozhin has a poster's heart. Along the way they got bombed for being a column of armed soldiers occupying Russia, so the plan then became to march on Moscow and raise a big stink and demand the head of the Ministry of Defense in retaliation. A hundred miles outside of Moscow it suddenly occurred to Prigozhin that a column of armed soldiers marching on Moscow to topple the Ministry of Defense is indistinguishable from a coup and he called a halt and turned around. The president of Belarus stepped in and negotiated a way out for Prigozhin that didn't immediately involve an open window and the dissolution of Wagner continues mostly on schedule. And now we got generals getting arrested who I guess knew about the big hissy huff and encouraged it, probably as a method of career advancement? This whole thing was because the caterer didn't understand that sending an armed convoy to protest at the capitol over beef with the MoD was essentially a coup until almost the last minute

I thought this was the 4th Ukranian army? The Western coverage of the Kramatorsk missile strike emphasizes two blonde girls died, and all I can react to that is "at least they aren't doing bacha bāzī." Wait, the place hit was Ria Lounge. I don't know why Western media is reporting it's a pizza place when it obviously looks like a bar. I guess playing up the civilian angle?

stephenthinkpad posted:Are you sure Poland troops fighting Russia in Ukraine will trigger A5? I thought a country sending troops on their own would not trigger A5. no, not according to the letter of the article. but this is the ~rules based international order~ that can also reinterpret international law at a whim when suitable to match the desired state of reality

I think added on to Prigozhin's motivation was apparently his catering company was having it's contracts with the Russian state systematically dissolved.. it seems like beyond providing food and services for the military, he was also involved in supplying the Russian school system with food and potentially other contracts as well. He ended up getting progressively squeezed out of that racket, saw the end of his influence and business speeding up at him on the horizon, and he decided to do something incredibly stupid. I mean he could have kept all his grifts going perfectly fine by just keeping his mouth shut. Maybe the first person in history to have confirmed posted themselves out of billions of dollars?
