the reaction to the hersh story is completely bonkers

it's taken as a given that it's wrong and so any effort spend looking into it is simply to find some reason to claim it is wrong, i.e. giving the benefit of the doubt to the secret agencies. this is seen as perfectly reasonable and you're a weirdo, crank or conspiracy theorist if you think that this is a serious deal

well duh, that's what official confirmation looks like my friend

Yes, I'm sure Russia is losing a higher rate of troops per yard of ground than the Allies at the Battle of the Somme, I am very smart

it definitely makes sense, considering all the penal battalions they are sending in human wave attacks *alt-tabs back over to understandingwar.org summaries*

The russian casualties are high because they've run out of ammo and they're firing impressed soldiers out of trebuchets at the ukrainians. War is hell

the usa is training ukrainians to reduce their ammo usage, in order to achieve victory. one would them assume, using Logic and Reason, that the russian's prodigious expenditure of shells is a sure sign they are actively losing, and losing more and more each day. hopefully by typing out such nonsense, i too can get a chance to dick down nuland

Now, obviously if you look at their staffs, yeah they were always tied to the US and UK foreign policy establishments, but by definition all defence journals are. The shift I think is that their reporting was, at least in my view, intended to shape public perception rather than advise professionals.

its the same gimmick cheney was known for, journos will publish whatever you tell them to so you just need a respectable front group to promote your desired story. so many articles in the western press start with "according to the institute of the study of war...." and continue into some pretty brazen propaganda that has some gravitas behind it nonetheless

I saw some reporting that the surviving pipeline is likely because the Biden administration’s delays or even the concept of the bombs remaining underwater for extended periods of time caused two of them to fail.

I wonder if they’ve been recovered, that would be interesting to know.

No legs? No problem. You can still sit in chair, now just sitting in trench also.

edit - The sooner Ukraine conscripts everyone with a pulse that isn't in uniform yet to fill those trenches, women, children, elderly and especially the elderly women caring for the orphan children, the sooner victory is assured!

i saw a video of prigozhin informing a room of amputee wagnerites in that just because they were missing limbs doesn't mean they aren't still on contract
