Anthony Beevor is profoundly moronic. He has real old man historian energy and doesnt actually understand people. My favourite example is his comparison of occupied paris and paris during liberation. He found some journals of olds stating how quiet the city was when the germans rolled in (because everyone was walking on eggshells) and how respectful zee germans were and compared it to liberation when the city exploded into a party because thats what happens when a million 20 year old american kids roll into town with money to spend and girls yo imprsss. Hes a dumb mothefucker.

Speaking of, I just heard that Gonzalo Lira got booted out of Ukraine for materially helping the Russian army. Apparently he narc'd out a bunch of other collaborators to avoid any punishment but being kicked out of the country.

Russian propaganda. Now that poo poo is cringe.

Speaking of, has the west done anything to gently caress with Russia's beloved propagandists? Besides sanctions?

LazerPig is not an authority on anything as far as i know. In the meaning of professional expertise that is.

Also the Russians totally want tech transfer from China which theyll likely get or are already receiving. If the Armata ever takes the field it will be full of Chinese tech.

So how many PMCs is this now? Wagner, Rusich, Patriot, and now Konvoy?

The privatization of Russia's forces remains one of the interesting develoments of the last few years. It reminds me of when governments privative public services to make them more "efficient", but in the end those privatized services tend to poo poo the bed almost instantly. Its seems all the graft and corruption were just part of the package.
