Do you think the recruiters are *asking* the people they're recruiting and sending out to fight? They literally don't have a choice. If you refuse conscription you go to prison - where you also get conscripted.

Everyone wants to talk about the toilet seat, but no one wants to mention the well-maintained bucket.

That's the bucket of a man who, at the end of the day, mutters "This is my bucket. There are many like it but this one is mine" as he cleans it.

The closest example would be WWII - but did the people in Dresden and Tokyo deserve to be firebombed? Did the child soldiers drafted in the defense of Berlin 'have it coming' too?

The members of the Stavka considered the situation in Bakhmut in particular detail. Evaluating the progress of the defense operation, the President asked questions to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny and the commander of the Khortytsia operational-strategic group of troops Oleksandr Syrskyi regarding further actions in the Bakhmut direction. They spoke in favor of continuing the defensive operation and further strengthening our positions in Bakhmut.

When the newscast cut back to Korostelev, an editor in the studio, whom Korostelev could hear in his earpiece, told him that the next segment was delayed. He had to fill more than a minute of airtime.

For the last 3 days, we have been watching how on the left bank of the Bakhmutka the Russians begin to collect civilians and take them out of the city. Their further fate is unknown. The best things they have are backpacks. From 3 to 10 people walk in columns, behind them a Rusak with a machine gun. We counted more than 30 people.

You know the pilots were asking/tempted to draw a dick. I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often. I know many USAF pilots that would gleefully draw tracking dicks.

Putin will likely use Wagner’s high casualties, reports about poor morale, and war crimes to deflect from likely equal or possibly worse problems within the Russian Armed Forces. Kremlin-affiliated milbloggers have ambushed Prigozhin with interviews that exposed numerous Wagner controversies regarding the ineffectiveness and mistreatment of the Wagner convict force – likely in an effort to set conditions in the Russian information space to discredit Wagner.[42] Much of the Russian and Western coverage of Bakhmut already focuses mainly on heavy Wagner losses, allowing the MoD to cover up or downplay other losses suffered by Russian conventional forces. The revelation of high losses among Wagner convicts and mercenaries would not cause as much societal outrage as ongoing reports of casualties and mistreatment of involuntarily mobilized servicemen.
