Even just saying it though. Could you imagine this level of insubordination any place else but Russia? I feel like running your mouth like that would get an enlisted service member a special court martial.

you actually saw comparable stuff in the pla for a long while. there was that one time that one colonel in the pla decided to attack the russians in an island on the border cuz he felt like it

Much like Nazi Germany, Fascist Russia is obssessed with displays of masculine strength as a form of demonstrating their power to themselves, and anyone watching.

Also much like Nazy Germany, Fascist Russia is completely unaware of how deeply homoerotic it all is.

its worth that the first notions of courts were not originally to enforce impersonal laws, they were in order to put a limit to vendetta. Hammurabi's principle of "an eye for an eye" was intended as a maximum upper limit to vendetta for example. same deal w the ancient hebrews

No, Kadyrov's got the best deal possible under Putin, he's de facto a sovereign prince who has all his whims fulfilled by Russia, which pays him a tribute in exchange for brutalizing the populace (which he enjoys). He doesn't have to run a country, he can just lounge around and torture people on Moscow's buck. The flip side of that is, there's plenty of Chechens who hate that he is Moscow's goon and a disgrace to his people, and who would be very happy to murder him if he ever fell out of grace.

just leave him there if he switches allegiance, simple enough

Probably the most accurate thing written here

People who think their knowledge of the world or history is in any way useful or practical here are nuts. This is war driven chaos where anything happens. You can hope for change in Russia, in the meanwhile the circus continues and Putin is the ringmaster

Like, for real, what does this poo poo even mean?

its not the first insane period of chaos in history, tho, is the deal

Putin should have allowed Prigozhin to complete the coup and handed the country over to him. Prigozhin, could then have ended the war, withdrawn all troops, paid reparations, etc and Putin could gently caress off to his mansion forever with without having personally lost the war.

some aspect of prigozhin himself thinking about this and realizing that he himself didnt want to deal with that crap is almost certainly a factor in why he's not shogun right now

As much fun as number go up/down is, due to the sanctions and currency controls imposed by Russia, the rubble value is completely arbitrary.

theres almost certainly both a black market for hard currency and peeps arbitraging the black and white market prices, so this is the show of how the currency controls failed (they always do, but to radically varying extents. sometimes 1%, sometimes 99%)
