I seem to remember him being a bit of an idiot, possibly a climate change denier? Anything else?

Not who you are quoting, but at the very least I remember him being very biotruther about women and men when I stopped watching him years ago, take this half remembered disclaimer with a grain of salt.

yeah something like that, he's not hitler or anything but I don't particularly want his takes on current affairs. His delivery when its about history reminds me of a history teacher I used to have, which I enjoy very much for that specific reason.

These interviews have been interesting because the people don't come across as the typical bullshitters for better or worse.

Ukraine is pinning down a newly created Russian reserve force near Bakhmut and is confident the 15,000-strong unit will be destroyed, Ukraine's spy chief says.

Kyrylo Budanov told The War Zone that Ukraine was pinning down Russian forces in Bakhmut to prevent them from being deployed to other axes where its counteroffensive is pushing forward.

"The Russians recently redeployed their only reserve force - the 25th Army - which was just recently raised and hasn't completed its creation," he said.

"Now it's redeployed to roughly the north of Bakhmut, and that's the place where it's going to be buried."

I mean Ukraine has definitely changed the way they do war. They let the enemy retreat last year in the Kharkiv and kherson offensives. This time not so much. Mostly that's Russia forcing their people to hold on until the last man causing island hopping level casualties

Yeah, I was gonna say I suspect the change is less about Ukraine and more about Russia. Surovikin managed the withdrawal in Kherson and he got the heave ho for it.

It's almost as if they don't care or haven't put much thought into the human casualties. From top to bottom to Ukraine civilians to Russian conscripts. Do they even have a GI bill for the walking wounded?

Disgraceful in my opinion, glasnost was working but now is rubbish.

It really sucks because all of the Russian people (and Ukrainians) I've met here in the states or overseas are awesome good people but the stupid war machine grinds them into dirt. Here in the US the GI bill is actually difficult to access for vets but yeah the alleged fish brick is just sad squared.

Russia is really imploding as a state and political entity. It was funny to make fun of their dog murder squads during the olympics but good grief. Move from first world to last world is easy if you have Putin and oligarchs fully in charge.

My SO and I love watching The Great which is mostly fictional (Peter II does not get murdered and instead goes in to exile? wtf?) but the leadership of Russia is mostly all bad and the people are disaffected and just divorced from all the rulership and stupid bourgeoise assholes.

During the 90s we had such hope though. And into the oughts in spite of Putin's continued and insufferable reign. But the way he treats his people is just awful and disgraceful. All throughout history the Russian people have been trampled by bad leadership and suffered through it in a very respectable and stalwart way.

I also love the show The Americans because it shows how even the hardest communist soldiers in the cold war can be sucked in to easy living, and fight back against it as their children rebel. Most russian people I know here are working hard jobs changing hotel linen and buying cheeseburgers and oddly happy to be here and embracing American life. The Ukrainian women at the ice cream shop are as happy as can be expected, etc.

We have terrible leadership here in the US, the government will probably be shut down by hard line idiots any day now. I just feel bad for all the Russian men who are getting a knock on the door to move from barely scraping by to the front lines of failure.

Were those VDV divisions that retreated in Kharkiv and Kherson? ISW reports two of the four VDV divisions at Bakhmut and Robotyne fronts each. Those divisions even if consisting partly of conscripts could be holding on until last man.

Some of these no. These guys were securing the caucuses as well as the Chinese border. I'm sure there's some B2B that been fighting in Ukraine for a long time but deep other units are fairly fresh. Okay were fairly fresh when we heard about them being pulled off of the caucuses a few months ago
