Probably bullshit internet hyperbole. but it's said that a large number of Russian Army "contract professionals" are up on Saturday, May 28 and no longer under gov't control. We'll see if we have mass quitting then!

Putin has made a lot of Americans rich with this war. Like I told you, that $40 billion military "aid" package passed by America's corrupt Congress was mere window dressing. Almost all of it will end up in the pockets of corrupt officials and criminals, just like the “aid” provided by the US during the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. See how that works, slave Lake Erie SESH?Comment

Bingo! The Gross Domestic Product of Ukraine is about $156 billion. $40 billion is a good chunk of what the whole country is worth. It’s ridiculous.
Russia has never been a Democracy in it’s whole history. It went from a monarchy to communism to Czar Putin. When I hear people cry democracy is gone in Russia I just go it never had it. That being said we have other kingdoms in the world. Dubai in the UAE is ran by a king. Singapore is ran by a dictatorship. Nobody seems to care about those because they play ball. Putin doesn’t. Putin doesn’t like the banking cartels that have huge influence over the west and much of the world.
Most countries in the world are not ran by good people. It’s the way it is. But countries go to war with other countries over not cooperating economically or another country wanting to raid it’s resources. Russia has always been a maverick and has a history of irritating Europe’s elite. History is just repeating itself.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The Ukraine has very little strategic interest to the US. It’s a convenient distraction and excuse to plunder and to take the attention off our domestic problems but wait until the stock market crashes and the economy goes really south from the ripple effect. People’s attention will be back here and Ukraine flag waiving will be a past fad.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Yeltsin's era was somewhat democratic and even the early part of Putty's regime there was still some freedom left. The 1917-18 Kerensky Gov't espoused democratic socialism but never had a chance with the continuation of WWI and the breaking Civil War...
Not sure what your point is by shithole listing, but if you think Putin gives any sort of fuck about "banking cartels" you're fucking higher than you normally seem. The only thing he really cares about is keeping power, which may not matter much longer because he seems to be close to the end. And the "history repeating itself" chestnut. Next you'll be spewing more "history is written by the winners!" cliches.That being said we have other kingdoms in the world. Dubai in the UAE is ran by a king. Singapore is ran by a dictatorship. Nobody seems to care about those because they play ball. Putin doesn’t. Putin doesn’t like the banking cartels that have huge influence over the west and much of the world.

Ukraine strikes significantly reducing Russia's offensive potential, Kyiv says

KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian rocket strikes have destroyed more than 30 Russian military logistics centres in recent weeks and significantly reduced Russia's attacking potential, Ukraine's defence ministry spokesperson said on Friday.
The official, Oleksandr Motuzianyk, singled out the role played by U.S.-produced HIMARS rocket systems, one of several types of long-range weapon supplied by the West to help Ukraine fight back against Russia.
"In the last weeks, over 30 of the enemy's military logistical facilities have been destroyed, as a result of which the attacking potential of Russian forces has been significantly reduced," Motuzianyk said on national television.
Motuzianyk told Reuters in separate comments that the 30 targets were destroyed by multiple launch rocket systems, including HIMARS.
If confirmed, the comments would suggest that Western weapons are having an impact on the battlefield and could indicate a shift in the war's dynamic after nearly five months.
Russia, which invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, has captured a chunk of territory in southern Ukraine and used its artillery supremacy in the east to make gradual territorial gains, eventually capturing Luhansk region.
A top Ukrainian general said on Thursday that Russia had not taken a "single metre" of land in the last week and that Ukrainian strikes were disrupting Russian supply lines, forcing Moscow to keep its ammunition further back from the front line. Reuters was not able to immediately confirm battlefield reports.
HIMARS have a longer range and are more precise than Ukraine's Soviet-era artillery, allowing Ukrainian forces to hit Russian targets that were previously unreachable.
On Friday, Ukraine's defence minister said Kyiv had taken receipt of a first consignment of M270 multiple rocket launch systems, without specifying which country provided them.
Russia on Thursday criticised the United States and Britain for helping train Ukraine's armed forces, calling it part of NATO's "hybrid warfare" against Moscow. It said Washington was providing Ukraine with instructors to help use HIMARS.
Kyiv said this week that its forces carried out strikes on Russian military infrastructure in a city that lies deep in Russian-occupied territory in southern Ukraine.
Motuzianyk also said that only 30% of Russian strikes were hitting military targets, with the rest landing on civilian sites. That assertion could not be verified by Reuters. Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians in what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

Russia Says It’s Losing Because Ukraine Has Experimental Mutant Troops Created in Secret Biolabs

Nearly five months into its senseless war against Ukraine, Russia has concocted a wild new explanation for why the Kremlin’s plans for a quick takeover fell apart so spectacularly—because Ukrainian troops were turned into superhuman killing machines during “secret experiments” in American-run biolabs, of course.
Never mind the myriad reports of Russian troops refusing to fight by the thousands, sabotaging their own shoddy equipment and even deliberately wounding themselves to abandon the war, Russian lawmakers claim the real setback for Moscow was “drugged up” Ukrainian soldiers.
That claim was made Monday by two Russian lawmakers heading up a commission to investigate “biolaboratories” in Ukraine, Kommersant reported.
Konstantin Kosachev, the deputy speaker of Russia’s Federation Council, and Irina Yarovaya, deputy chair of the State Duma, touted what they described as bombshell findings from the “investigation.”
Testing of Ukrainian POWs’ blood, they claimed, uncovered “a range of diseases” that suggest they were secretly experimented on “for military purposes.”
“And we see: the cruelty and barbarity with which the military personnel of Ukraine behave, the crimes that they commit against the civilian population, those monstrous crimes that they commit against prisoners of war, confirm that this system for the control and creation of a cruel murder machine was implemented under the management of the United States,” Yarovaya was quoted telling reporters.

“And those performance enhancing drugs that they are still given in order to completely neutralize the last traces of human consciousness and turn them into the most cruel and deadly monsters also confirm this,” she claimed.
Bizarrely, she also claimed that the presence of Hepatitis A antibodies in Ukrainian prisoners’ blood was proof of an American biolabs conspiracy, since a former health minister for Ukraine was a dual Ukrainian-American citizen who had worked to acquire drugs for the treatment of hepatitis in the country.
“It is quite possible that this was about testing these drugs on military personnel,” Yarovaya said.
The claims appeared to be a new take on the biolabs conspiracy theory that Russia’s Defense Ministry has routinely rolled out to try and justify the war.
While the conspiracy theory dates all the way back to the Soviet Union, it has been amplified more frequently by Kremlin figures after the Feb. 24 invasion, as Moscow’s initial claim that it invaded Ukraine in order to “de-Nazify” a country led by a Jewish president failed to gain much traction beyond its own domestic propaganda.
The latest iteration appears to be aimed at explaining away Russia’s military setbacks by way of mutant Ukrainian troops.
