Putin is not even hiding that Wagner is an arm of their military. No more "little green men".
for how long tho... :lupe:

they're starting to break away from kremlin messaging, they put out an ad called "we've arrived from hell" for prigozhin's new tg which says it'll have combat footage you won't see on russian tv: t.me/+ifyMRybmVCI0YjIy

I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been scrolling past your autistic posts for a month. :pachaha:

And it's killing you that people aren't wasting their days arguing with you and just doing benign things that send you into a rage. :mjlol:

Get them internet points breh :ahh:


I hadn't even posted since September 22nd, that's half your month right there. And once I came back you responded to literally my first post.

And who the fukk uses "autistic" as an insult in 2022? What are you going to call me next, a schizo or a retard?

Like I said, all you have is a random deflection wheel you spin, and more often than not you can't even get your deflection right.

Putin’s Dueling Foot Soldiers Are Now Apparently Killing Each Other Off​


OUT OF CONTROL
Amid very public infighting between Russian groups, the Kremlin is reportedly trying to keep a lid on a Wagner mercenary shooting dead a lieutenant-colonel.

While Ukraine’s militaryhas been successfully chasing Russian troops out of one territory after another, Vladimir Putin’s foot soldiers have apparently been turning their weapons on each other as the Russian leader’s “special military operation” continues to come apart at the seams in spectacular fashion.
The Kremlin’s flailing bid to get an edge on the battlefield by deploying mercenaries from the Wagner Group—which now includes hundreds of prison inmates—has reportedly backfired as the private military force butts heads with the Russian military.

The growing conflict resulted in a Wagner fighter gunning down a lieutenant colonel in the Russian army—a deadly episode of “friendly fire” that the Kremlin is said to be trying to sweep under the rug, according to the human rights group Gulagu.net.

“They are trying to hush up the incident and prevent publicity. And this is not the first emergency of its kind,” the group quoted a source as telling the Gulagu.net hotline.

The incident was also reported by two other Russian Telegram channels, though no details were provided on when or where the shooting is said to have taken place.

The alleged shooting is not the only recent instance of infighting between Russian troops.

Earlier this week, a mass brawl broke out between newly drafted Russian troops and contract soldiers at a military base outside Moscow, Baza reported. Nearly two dozen contract soldiers are said to have taken a beating from the draftees and were rescued after locking themselves in a separate room and phoning police for help. The fight reportedly erupted after some of the contract soldiers demanded the newly arrived draftees hand over their mobile phones and gear.

The tumult seen between the troops has also visibly carried over to Russia’s wider information space, with pro-Kremlin military bloggers getting increasingly outspoken in their criticisms of top military command and Putin’s more radical allies publicly deriding those in charge of the war.

“The controversies surrounding the poorly executed partial mobilization, coupled with significant Russian defeats in Kharkiv Oblast and around Lyman, have intensified infighting between pro-Putin Russian nationalist factions and are creating new fractures among voices who speak to Putin’s core constituencies,” the Institute for the Study of War wrotein its Tuesday assessment.

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, one of the most vocal critics of the Russian Defense Ministry’s approach in recent days, announced Wednesday that “kind and beloved” Putin “personally” notified him he was being promoted to the rank of colonel general, a move that may be seen by some as a signal the Russian president is siding with hardliners like Kadyrov over his own defense officials.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the puppetmaster behind the Wagner Group, has also emerged with that camp, echoing Kadyrov’s complaints about the Russian military after a humiliating retreat from Lyman over the weekend.

Sources close to the Kremlin told Meduza the Russian leader is reluctant to chastise them for shyt-talking the military command because he considers both the Wagner mercenaries and Chechen battalions “effective” in the war.

“Putin now finds himself in a dilemma. He cannot risk alienating the Kadyrov-Prigozhin camp, as he desperately needs Kadyrov’s Chechen forces and Prigozhin’s Wagner Group mercenaries to fight in Ukraine. Nor can he disenfranchise the MoD establishment, which provides the overwhelming majority of Russian military power in Ukraine and the institutional underpinnings needed to carry out the mobilization order and continue the war,” the ISW wrote.

After a series of catastrophic battlefield losses, Putin is now “interested in alternative methods of warfare” and those who offer them, one source told Meduza.

The very public discord between warring groups close to Putin has exposed glaring cracks in the Russian president’s war machine, even as Ukraine’s military plows ahead with a stunning counteroffensive to take back the country’s land. Ukraine reclaimed eight new villages in the Kherson region as of Tuesday night, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, and several others in Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk—territories that Putin, just days earlier, had proudly claimed were now part of Russia.

Asked on Wednesday to explain how Russia can claim territory from which its own troops retreated, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov offered an unconvincing response: “There’s no kind of contradiction in this. [The territories] will be with Russia forever, they will be returned.”

At this rate there may not even be a battle for Crimea and if there is, it will be the last for Ukrainian territory. That means every single HIMAR and systems like them will be aimed at RU forces in one place. Crimea. Either way it's gonna be wild. Putin may have to visit the boys on the front to build up moral.

could this war started by russia be the worse political decision in the 21st century than brexit?:patrice:

Iraq/Afghan wars were pretty wack but what international blowback came of it?

Trump's election is up there as well and that actually did have numerous negative effects at home and abroad. He was one term away from dropping out of NATO and handing Easter Europe over to Putin.

China's Zero Tolerance policy has been a shot in the foot partially causing supply chain issues.
