boofhead posted:id never heard of this guy until these posts. looks like basically ben shapiro for tankie gamers? that's a little harsh but yeah Piker is nothing special. Lonerbox, however, rules and does plenty of stuff that is not reacting to drama, and refreshingly generally has his head on straight. His delivery can be pretty dry but I think he often does a really good job of refocusing a subject on what is actually important or consequential about it, or finds a frame to view it through that renders it simpler than it appears at first glance (as it is being presented by the wider conversation). Plus the end bumpers suggest he's a talented musician. I recommend everyone give him a shot if you've got the time.

You can thank the sinking of the Moskva for a lot of this. These attacks are the long term affects of Russia losing insanely irreplaceable kit that could have prevented or interdicted some of this The Moskva, the amount of E war stuff they've lost jammers etc. It's all culminating in Russia itself being able to be attacked on domestic soil and have their domestic imports and exports be critically damaged or outright destroyed. Putin has to deal with the reality that his citizens know the war is being lost. Overall the Russian citizens level of life is going to go downhill from here. they will have closed the loopholes to escape mobilization and there will be busses rolling around picking up any man off the street to go and serve in and die for the tsars decree. That's the reality they are facing. Here's a little scenario/example that doesn't seem impossible or even unlikely: Your apartment in Russia is bombed. You go outside as the fire is so bad you can't stay inside The mobilization brigade comes over and abducts all the men that leave the apartment complex. They get sent to Bakhmut or the South and get killed within 24 hours of leaving that apartment. you cannot live in a society where something like that could become a daily occurrence WAR CRIME GIGOLO fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Aug 6, 2023 |

Remember these five VDV guys from the beginning of the war? I wonder whatever happened to them. Statistically speaking they've been promoted to 200s, but maybe they got lucky?

Not least because it's ineffective Even if it's not the intended targets, drones may be falling out of the sky and hitting these things are causing fires that are going to cause people to have to evacuate wherever they are. I don't want them to do civilian terror bombing either but it just happens in the eventual course of Bombing military target.

I mean the rest of the statement was "and then the occupants of that apartment building are sent to Ukraine", so ... but I do broadly agree that domestic security in Russia is worsening and will enable frozen conflicts or weakly controlled puppets elsewhere on their border to kick off

the Igush Liberation Army has risen Let's see what happens over the next few days with a possible revolt sparking in the Caucasus. Remember a few weeks ago how I talked about the fact that the vdv was in bakhmut would weaken Russian grasp on the caucuses overall due to the fact that Russia uses them as a quick reaction force in the region to thwart independence movements etc Well now there is a possible armed rebellion sparking in ingushetia. For those who know or don't. The Igush war was from 2007-2015 and many many security forces were killed during that time. 400 police and 100 Russian army personnel. Overall I do think that the region has allegiance to Putin because he is considered a defender of fundamentalism compared to Western liberalism. But with a clear weakening of Russians ability to respond to resistance cells or open revolt we will see what happens in the caucuses. Russia has literally set itself up for the type of independence campaigns it uses to steal land.

He's talking about this. It's another insurgency group in the Caucasus. https://twitter.com/VolodyaTretyak/status/1687722501428613120?s=20 https://m.censor.net/ua/video_news/3435377/ingushski_partyzany_zapysaly_zvernennya_na_terytoriyi_ingushetiyi_video Gigolo please man post a link next time so I don't have to keep doing it for you, this is like the third time this week lol The Ingush War began in 2007 as an escalation of an insurgency in Ingushetia connected to the separatist wars in Chechnya. By 2009 Ingushetia surpassed Chechnya as the most violent of the North Caucasus republics, but the insurgency had been winding down for some years around 2015 or so. Now it seems that some of the Ingush insurgent groups smell blood in the water and are kicking up a fuss again with Putin's attention in Ukraine and the normal enforcers - the Kadyrovtsi - liquidated. This is not a very serious threat in my opinion. Insurgent groups like this are a dime a dozen in the Caucasus, and it would be expected to see this happen anywhere there had been previous separatist violence. It shouldn't be ignored by Putin though - this kind of thing isn't a threat on its own but if it doesn't get squashed then next thing you know you have ten more groups like them and it suddenly starts becoming a problem before you know it.

Is it going to be the rosgvardia? The normal escalation troops are too busy getting slaughtered In bakhmut. If the people rise up there may be nobody but cops and regional guards to actually do anything about this. There is definitely a path to regional revolts. The question remains what happens next

spankmeister posted:So where did you get it from then? he reads a bunch of extremely worthless telegram channels, some maybe less worthless, too, idk. that's been his gimmick for a decade now or something. in any event every single armed group that hasn't done anything should be treated as utterly inconsequential, doubly so when the entire evidence of their existence is a single video with 4 anonymous people in an entirely ambiguous location, even more so when it is then being spread around almost entirely by people involved in ukrainian messaging efforts. 99% of groups announced like that do nothing ever and at most exist long enough to scam some donations before disappearing again just as quickly. hell the last supposed chechen armed group taking the fight to Russia in Russia showed one video of dubious quality showing themselves machine gunning a single russian truck supposedly a mile from the border of Ukraine. they claimed that they'd killed an entire convoy of dozens of Russians (again suspiciously close to the border) but never produced any evidence of it whatsoever. all that poo poo means less than nothing until they're actually doing something
