Two term massively popular president.
History books will look at his presidency as a breath of fresh air surrounded by shitty administrations.
Deal with it.
Ivan Pechorin - Putin's point man for developing Russia's vast Arctic resources - fell off the side of a boat in waters close to Russky Island, reports Russian paper Komsomolskaya Pravda.
His body was found after a search lasting more than a day.
The 39-year-old had recently attended a major conference hosted by the Kremlin warmonger in Vladivostok.
It comes just weeks after Ravil Maganov - chairman of the Russian oil giant Lukoil, a firm that openly criticised Putin's invasion of Ukraine - reportedly died after plunging from a hospital window.

War crimes?
Yeah. Then Russia will NEVER get back into Western trade.
For decades, if at all.
We all need to read George F. Kennan's “Long Telegram” to understand where and how Vladimir Putin is currently operating. He believes the old Soviet hardline doctrine to his core.
I don't recall Mitch McConnell and the GOP rushing to Obama's side to help him maneuver against Russia.
What I DO recall, is Mitch McConnell cozying up to Putin and Rusal to get a big Russian aluminum plant built in his state (and probably undermining any support for Ukraine at all, to ensure his deal went through).
I'm still confused, so I "googled"...A brigade is about 4,000 troops. So if a "battle group" is 3-4 brigades, approximately 12,000-16,000 troops in a battle group for Ukraine???
They probably would have found his corpse faster if it weren't for all the scrap metal tied around it.Ivan Pechorin - Putin's point man for developing Russia's vast Arctic resources - fell off the side of a boat in waters close to Russky Island, reports Russian paper Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Not true. "Existence" of Russia is threatened. No one is using nukes.
Edit - the real issue here is that Russia's Kursk Nuclear PP is only like 150 miles north of Ukraine. What Ukraine needs to do is "accidentally" have a missile or rocket fly pretty close to there to let Russia know what could happen if they keep threatening nukes or shelling that nuke plant in Ukraine.

This is what google tells me for us:
A company typically has 100 to 200 soldiers, and a battalion is a combat unit of 500 to 800 soldiers. Three to five battalions, approximately 1,500 to 4,000 soldiers, comprise a brigade. The size of a division varies from about 10,000 to 18,000 soldiers, and most divisions have three or more brigades of roughly equal size. A corps, which consists of two or more divisions and support troops, normally has from 50,000 to 100,000 soldiers.
Apparently, about the same in Ukraine.

The rot runs deep in the Russian war machine. Ukraine is exposing it for all to see | CNN
Russian losses are the accumulation of a multitude of existing problems that are now colliding head-on with a Ukrainian military that has been patient, methodical and infused with billions of dollars of the Western military equipment.
I thought the whole justification for the investment was that a weak Russia is good for us. There's a 0% chance we're ever getting paid back full value for all that stuff. Ukraine is buying things from other countries, why not us? And good for us not sending the most advanced stuff.
I know many on here hate the idea of America first, but thats exactly what the Biden admin is doing here and I'm in full support.
SIAP-actual video of the attack on the Russian airbase. Had only seen a still photo before.
Little chatter they may be launching a third front. I think there is growing consensus that now is the time to inflict as much damage and have them leave or lose more equipment. With the amount they are leaving behind coupled with how much already is lost, Russia may end up losing 2/3 of its active in service equipment that is already outdated and not up to fighting NATO. Russia has basically been eliminated as a world super power. All they have is an unknown amount of functioning Nukes.
Awesome. I had posted original few pages back and mentioned instead of parody you could about use the real words and slightly alter to be about true events. Not that much parody needed for this one!
