" And look at me now

Sucrose posted:I was half wondering if this was all set up: have some guy call for genocide and then be immediately fired and censured as proof that the Russian government is totally not genocidal towards Ukrainians and that that sort of attitude is actually totally condemned. But if that was the case they’d probably have made some random shmuck the fall-guy, not the head of RT Russia. He just was just trying to be a good propagandist but loving fumbled it. They are not mad at him for suggesting drowning children, they are mad for, quoting a RU senator "giving the enemy a propagandist nuclear bomb". Genocide is OK, in their minds, as long as you don't call it as such.

The screenshot in this tweet is from the other guy in video, scifi writer Sergey Lukyanenko. He says maybe it was an attempt to bait him, maybe Krasovsky had an episode but he fully expected these parts to be cut. I can see Krasovsky's cocaine-riddled brain to think it was awesome but there should be chief editors to clear this for broadcast

Morrow posted:Putin wants a bipolar world again, simple as that. His objection to a unipolar world isn't intrinsic to it, imperialism is fine when Russia does it. His objection is that Russia isn't able to do its imperialism. He'd be fine with a multipolar world with China and others as long as Russia had freedom of action. The problem here is, well China. The only true rival to the USA who has steadily grown to achieve this position now watch a former empire make their last swing before fading into obscurity but can also ruin the whole plan with nukes

HonorableTB posted:cinci edit: This seems to be pretty big including larger propaganda perspective. Frontline troops increasingly rely on war correspondents and their telegram channels to voice their various grievances which are usually about generals being garbage and also cynical bastards who send them to die for a medal. Said war correspondents are of course pro war and various shades of fascist but do not try to fit with existing propaganda system who's message was "everything's fine, goes according to plan. Telegram correspondents with ties to Wagner, abovementioned marines or more or less proffessionalish forces openly criticize russian MoD, generals and seem one step away from blaming Putin himself for how crappily this war is led. There was even an attempt by MoD to start trials against them for "discrediting the armed forces" but seemed to have quietly died down, traditional tv propaganda seems confused right now on where they aught to direct their outrage. Normal response would be to just not report any failures but telegram reporters make huge noise while also being so far untouchable. Somebody fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Nov 8, 2022 |

There is no peace until russia is outright defeated. And they understand they were defeated. There is still "our troops need a vacation", "no fun in Kherson anymore" views out there. I heard an even more interesting take, "we are losing? Eh, who cares, let them win so life gets back to normal".

Just Another Lurker posted:If russia actually captures Bakhmut i wonder what the russian dead per meter will work out at? Thats exactly the the discussion I saw on RU twitter a few minutes ago. The OP was wondering if Putin is sacrificing the Wagner group but the general opinion is (and I agree) that its the convicts and recently mobilized human waves while preserving the Wagner core. Mobilized casualties don't matter IMO. Putin had reached a state of solipsism when its "well, I've seen it all, death is soon anyway why not Marshal Zhukov this whole thing to conclusion, russians don't seem to mind."

The worst thing seems to be that russians indeed don't mind. Such as communities and families coming together to buy "humanitarian" aid for their soldiers which is literally food and basic necessities. And volunteers who do bring that stuff to them while avoiding higher command and logistics hubs who just hoard, steal and mismanage it all. Recent set of interviews I read quoted a tank mechanic who said they spend their salaries on spare parts and even manuals because "the army has no money to spare" and it felt like "meh, it sucks but what can you do".

I am growing increasingly interested about who is Strelkov's guardian angel, he is allowed to talk poo poo about Shoigu, implicate accusations about Putin.

Girkin-Strelkov says whatever the gently caress he wants. Maybe there is some truth to rumors that he is a secret spokesperson for russian army, vents in public their frustrations.

Just watched Zelensky's new year address, amazingly good. Also watched Tikhanovskaya's address, not bad. And the important thing: all you tank theorists, how A2A1 will ruin bridges and who knows what. Ukraine is currently at cutting edge of war. And if they ask for tanks, you don't ask whether they deserve tanks or if said tanks will break bridges. They've already shown that they dont ruin donated equipment, they use it to maximum. It is already proven how good they are at war. They say they need tanks means they indeed need exactly tanks.

Our entire defense was based on the concept to make any potential invasion unprofitable in terms of gains/losses and than our ally the undefeatable russia will roll in and make things right. I have no idea for what possible purpose would anyone would want to conquer Belarus except ...well... loving russia, against whom we got no defenses whatsoever. And their army has free reign to do what they please now anyway. If Ukraine is to crush them, we have a chance. Pls write to your goddamn politicians for more weapons to Ukraine, I know its silly but better than nothing
