Putin, IMHO is screwing his own people. He wants to be a conquer. Said thing, people will not except his dictatorship. That plane has flown. All he brings is death to Russians and Ukrainians. Believe in all Russians and Ukrainians. Putin is a mad man who doesn’t give a damn about anyone but his own Napoleonic actions.
Welcome to 2008.
Can someone please reboot ChatGPT. It’s glitching pretty badly.
FIFY
There is video of Prigozhin’s plane crashing; it drops vertically out of the sky. Not nose first, but oscillating as it falls.
A plane doesn’t do that unless it has exploded somehow, either by a bomb on board or a missile. A plane is inherently stable in the air and will glide as long as the wings are still attached.
This is not a typical plane crash. Which is no surprise at all.
Robotyne has been liberated. Ukraine has concentrated more force on this vector. There has been a major effort over the last couple of months to degrade Russian artillery to significant effect. There are a staggering amount of mines for sappers to deal with, so things are very slow, but picking up speed.
There is currently combat on the flanks of major Russian trench networks east of Robotnye. If successful, Ukrainian forces can roll up Russians half way to Tokmak. The topography of the area suggests if Tokmak gets into tube artillery range, Russian forces there will be decimated, or worse.
The West needs patience. The world MUST remember the most important lesson of World War II:
You can’t let the motherfucker get away with it!
I might give credence to the conspiracy theories floating around that this was an elaborate (and deadly) ruse by Prigozhin, who wasn’t actually on the plane, used to disappear himself, except Prigozhin had apparently been jetting to and fro around the region. Which, in retrospect, seems like a poor idea given the fellow who controls that airspace is a psychopath who wishes you dead dead dead.
I’ve landed in the same place. At first I figured he was hanging out in Paraguay with Ken Lay but he seemed to be tempting fate. I’m not sure what would be gained by whom if everyone just thinks Putin killed him.
Unlikely that it is just a coincidence for Prigozhin’s plane to lose a wing on the two month’s anniversary of Wagner’s March on Moscow and a day after his buddy Surovikin is announced to have been demoted.
Does Heterodoxy know this?
In a burning crater filled with the charred remains of Putin’s enemies?
There are almost nightly drone attacks on Moscow, Ukraine has been destroying bombers with drones deep inside Russia, special forces have apparently landed in Crimea, and Ukraine is reporting to Western allies that a breakthrough is close. Oh and they’re amassing a fleet of F-16’s.
In Soviet Russia, Ukraine invades you.
Interesting analysis on enablers.
Some very good news from the southern front. The AFU has breached the Surovikin line and reached the outskirts of Verbove. It is not only the trenches and “dragon’s teeth” that need to be overcome, the landscape is marked everywhere by lines of trees meant as windbreaks, each of these tree lines is a fortified defense. Everywhere in between is mines. Insane numbers of mines. The AFU overcame these in deliberate fashion and concentrated on counter-battery artillery and a large, well trained cadre of sappers. Now, they have picked up the pace and are starting to roll up the Russians.
It’s impossible to understand the intensity of this combat unless one is there. Objectively, this is the most fierce warfare since the Eastern Front of WWII.
Glory to Ukraine.
Glory to the Heroes.
“…most fierce warfare since the Eastern Front of WWII?”
Only Korea comes close. The amount of artillery alone is more than any battle in Korea. That doesn’t count drones, which are ubiquitous. Artillery is much more accurate than WWII or Korea because the shells are more accurate and because drones can correct fire in real time. Russian dead are betweeen 100,000 and 250,000 (Ukraine maintains the higher number and have some evidence to support their claim) overall Russian casualties are over 500,000. Then there are Ukrainian casualties.
Easily the fiercest combat since WWII.
uh, okay. Carry on.
Uh O.K. I fucking will!
