Hey Nix - Please be clear what is funny. We'd like to know!

The juxtaposition of a post making fun of Putin for being unable to get any of his bargaining positions for the grain deal fulfilled with the implication that Ukraine is going to blow him up immediately followed by a post about Ukraine's port being blown up because Putin didn't get any of his bargaining positions for the grain deal fulfilled. Its a classic set up and punchline.

Was it only funny to you guys when the implication was Russia getting blown up?

Which is directly the fault of the country that invaded Ukraine and is actively targeting shipping AFTER backing out of the deal it made.

And Russia got to drag in other countries by destroying the ability to export food to them, including China and Africa amongst other countries. Its not like the lack of funds are going to hurt Ukraine much, theyre being funded by the west. This hurt the rest of the world with food price increases, and the people they killed and injured in the strike.

What was Russia supposed to get out of the grain deal, and were those terms fulfilled?

It seems less like Russia 'backed out' and more like the west never actually fulfilled its end of the bargain and after a year Russia's good faith efforts ran out.

Not a lot of the food from Ukraine made it to Africa. It mostly ended up in Europe, to the extent that several European countries got mad about it and tried to ban Ukrainian grain.

If the focus is on the rest of the world, maybe the west should have tried harder to hold up their end of the bargain?

Russia backed out of the deal in a temper tantrum because the bridge to Crimea got targeted.

There was NO deal telling the West that Ukraine couldn't target Crimea or the deal would be invalid. That's just a certain imperial nation throwing a tantrum because their Special Military Operation continues to fail.

I don’t know why people think F16s would really change the war. Russia has a huge amount of long range air defense, wtf is can f16 do that their existing platforms can’t? They’re already slinging western cruise missiles and dropping western jdams with the jets they have now.

200 brads, a shitload of MICLCs, and all the MRAPs we can spare is what they really need.

And ATACMS

I don't think they would fundamentally alter the character of the war. They would make certain operations significantly easier though - specifically, using antiradiation missiles in their intended mode where they're programmed in the air, and same for JDAM targeting, instead of having to do so beforehand on the ground and cross your fingers. They're also fundamentally very capable airframes that the US has tons of, so they have no shortage of spares or other maintenance assistance.
All of these things are good. They're not necessarily better than 200 Bradleys etc, but why not both?

Interesting article on the possibility of future coups in Russia, some funny bits

https://twitter.com/AmbDanFried/status/1682093806936530946

quote:

One high-ranking source in the Main Directorate of the General Staff, the GRU, Russian military intelligence, previously warned The Insider that a coup attempt was possible in light of Russia’s flailing war in Ukraine; the only unexpected development was the timing and architect of this one.

“Everyone in the Ministry of Defense and in the government as a whole is already tired of this war and would like to stop it,” the source said. “You can feel the discontent , so I expected something similar could happen by autumn. The fact that Prigozhin turned out to be at the head of the rebellion is surprising, but he would never have done such a thing if he had not understood that there would be those in the GRU leadership who would support him.” This echoes statements anonymous Western intelligence officials have made in the past several weeks about the existence of a Russian fifth column.

quote:

There are generals in the Russian army, the source added, who gave a variety of excuses for not interfering in Prigozhin’s blitzkrieg, which began with the seizure of the Russian Military District headquarters in Rostov-on-Don. Some said they were still hungover from partying the night before – not exactly a sterling pledge of fealty to the regime or much of a declaration that duty to the Motherland trumps all other considerations.

quote:

“We watched one general in one of the Russian regions who received a call on Saturday and demanded to urgently appear at the headquarters in connection with an attempted military coup,” the Ukrainian spy said, “but he did not go anywhere and continued to drink. And as we understand, such a reaction was typical.”

quote:

Another officer in the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs from Rostov-on-Don described the frantic behind-the-scenes scrambling the night of the coup. “The Fortress plan was announced,” the source said, referring to Russia’s emergency measures to countermand Prigozhin and protect Moscow, “but no one began to execute it. Everyone was scared.”

quote:

At around 11 p.m. orders to declare the “Fortress” operational plan came down from Command . “The duty officer began calling employees, but many simply did not pick up the phone or were already drunk. It was Saturday night and many police officers were taking time off outside the city. Our boss was with a friend in a restaurant celebrating; the friend’s granddaughter had just been born.”

but there are so many less lines to draw :confused:

Anyway, there are claimed numbers about Wagner's casualties, don't remember seeing this in here but it moves pretty fast. Anyway, they're, uh, pretty ruinous, and would make .ru MOD claims about how many signed on with them in the wake of Prigozhin's coup mutiny amuse-bouche(?) improbable. If true I wonder what he's doing cooling his heels in Belarus instead of loving off to Africa to manage that stuff.
