This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

He was probably the only one to walk away from it…

He probably did a Forrest Gump and just kept running.

Maybe payback for hazing?

More Than a Decade After Military Reform, Hazing Still Plagues the Russian Army - The Moscow Times

Having the Russian word for “cock” carved on his forehead with a razor blade as punishment for smoking an illicit cigarette in his barracks toilet was the last straw for Private Artyom Pakhotin. Two weeks later, on April 19, 2018, he shot himself dead with an AK-74 during his platoon’s drill...

We can probably connect a few dots from a story like this directly to the poor performance of the Russian Army. Hazing... Rape... Mental abuse.... That's a textbook way to run a dysfunctional army that feels no sense of unity, or desire to fight or one another in a small unit setting.

Holy crap!! Azov might be white supremicist A-holes but they sure can kill Russians!!!

And they don't invade other countries.

Honestly how many choose not to answer and how many answer based on the concern FSB is on the other end of the line?

I think it's pretty safe to say that the US/NATO are doing a lot more then what is being publicly reported.

The WH just has to thread a fine line here to limit potential actions by Putin.

At this stage, I think the use of nuclear from Russia is decreasing, but the risk is still there. And I think if Putin thinks/believes his domestic support is really at a high level, he won't activate.

Meanwhile... I hope the Ukrainians get as much offensive support as possible.

Never too worry; many bills and treasure from the US tax payer will be passed through many hands to rebuild all Ukraine. Private Government contractors will swoop in and swindle trillions to rebuild Ukraine. It will be under the guise of humanitarian relief. Might be a good time for a young college age kid to consider that line of work.

"Hackers published close to 437,500 emails from Russian companies Petrovsky Fort, Aerogas, and Forest.

Distributed Denial of Secrets, or DDoSecrets, revealed a large dump of data the Anonymous collective took from several Russian companies.

The leak includes 300,000 emails weighing 244 GB from Petrovsky Fort, owner of one of the largest office complexes in Russia's second-largest city Saint-Petersburg.

Another 100,000 emails (145 GB) belong to Aerogas, a Russia-based engineering company catering to the country's oil and gas sector."

Fair point. But the counterpoint is that his rating does fluctuate. Prewar it was around 60% I believe.

Why are we still playing this game of avoiding WW3? Russia knows we are supplying Ukraine. We have U.S. (retired) soldiers in Ukraine.

Prewar happens to coincide with the timeline for new laws that jail a person for speaking against the war.

Yeah, they are claiming only Ukraine now uses that type of missile though there is a lot of video of Russian vehicles carrying it, including into Belarus which should also be held responsible.

Putin is only doing this, because we keep telling him how we're not going to respond (with air support, attacking Russian planes and forces directly within Ukrainian territory and airspace).

When you tell your opponent what you're going to do, they'll adjust accordingly.

End this; take them on in Ukraine directly and change his calculus. Rout his army and airforce and leave them with nothing.

Excellent point....If you're an idiot.


They are killing males of military age indiscriminately. Go ahead and keep your pew-pew AR and see how long you last against an F-22/M1.

If we were ever invaded or there was ANY legitimate threat, then my all means, praise the lord and pass the ammunition....But then you'd have the actual military to fight with.

Seems you would fare much worse without your gun than with it. You lefty that are just dieing to use americas military against its people are the real danger to America. Guess who is in the military? They will not do it.

Uh, no.

The Russian are executing anyone of fighting age, and if they found you with a gun, they kill you and your entire family for it.
