Chechen warlord promises shock troops for invasion
The Times ^ | February 26 2022 | Tom Parfitt, Marc Bennetts

Posted on 02/26/2022 7:58:50 AM PST by shadowlands1960

The warlord who runs Chechnya held a rally of an estimated 10,000 fighters who could be dispatched to Ukraine to take part in the invasion.

The servicemen gathered in the Chechen capital, Grozny, after Friday prayers in a show of strength by Ramzan Kadyrov, an erstwhile separatist rebel who became one of President Putin’s most loyal henchmen.

Addressing the uniformed men, Kadyrov, 45, said that fighters would serve in the “hottest spots in Ukraine”, and that he could muster 70,000 volunteers.

Video showed the Muslim fighters standing in serried ranks in a central square and crying in unison: “Allahu Akbar!”

Kadyrov said they would not be dispatched yet, but were ready to “fulfil any order”.

Beslin is in Georgia one of the staging grounds for Russian troops. Kind of surprising given that history.

lol, I did my war already and I don’t think they’d want a half blind 73yo that doesn’t speak the language. But send me a ticket and I’ll think about it. Ukrainian girls are hot! I might like it there.

The Russians in 1945 had tens of thousands of trucks that the Western allies had given to them, allow them to transport millions of second-tier troops. Putin is very limited in what he can do - it took all his resources to get 180,000 front-line troops onto the battle line.

Transporting 70,000 troops 500 miles, and feeding them and supplying them with clothing and ammunition might be a tall order nowadays.

“ The Russian effort seems rather uncoordinated so far.”

Sure. That’s what the mainstream propaganda machine wants you to believe.

Next stop. Kiev falls and Zelensky throws in the towel or is offed.

On another thread, they are laughing at these jokers. I promptly told them that these are comparable to this outfit in WW2.

This is NOT funny. AT ALL.

Yup. All of that brigade for a while was made up of homosexuals, perverts, sexual predator's and common criminals and the scum of the earth. Led by a drunken sexual predator.

Originally, it was formed out of poachers who knew how to “hunt” and sent out to hunt down opposition forces behind the lines.

They'd do the burning and killing of children and civilians for pleasure.

It was so bad that even the SS commanders complained about them. How is that?

Demon spawn is more like it. These are the animals who took that school and murdered children in the name of their god, allah.

The only reason US troops wipe out anyone in “open battle” is because we can sit in an air conditioned AWACS plane, strike aircraft, or Guided Missile Cruiser and press a button sending a cruise missile hundreds of miles away to kill something. Hell, even if you want to talk about ground equipment, the Abrams easily outguns (and out armors) any armored vehicle that any organized Middle Eastern army possesses. But let’s not pretend that the US (or any western army for that matter) is broadly tougher or more hardened than anyone else. If we (or a European army) couldn’t count on 500 to 1 kill ratios due to technology, I don’t think there would be any question of who would win. Just take the most recent example where technology was heavily mitigated to due to terrain, guerrilla tactics, and a desire to “win over the population”.... a.k.a. Afghanistan. This is why we can relax physical fitness standards, and let all sorts of degenerates into the military now...because modern war is less dependent on large quantities of hardened, disciplined soldiers and more dependent on techies and people who are good a video games.

Gee, I'd have never thought of something like that. < /sarcasm>

You may not have been keeping up with current events; however, those Chechen thugs are not being sought to engage US troops or a formal army.

You are taking a simplistic view. Putin will just ask them go in there and kill people. He won't care whether they survive the fight or not. Those men are crazed killers without sense of right or wrong who happen to be well armed and are willing to murder and destroy. They are berserkers.

All of your posted reservations are very easily overcome. Transportation and resupply, indeed.

I'm seeing a fair amount of this;

Soldiers say they are out of gas. Driver offers to tow them back to russia. Everyone laughs. Russian soldiers ask for news on how they are doing in war. Driver tell them that Ukraine is winning, russians are surrendering and impliest that they should too.— Memellander (@MemeIIander) February 26, 2022

Russia-Ukraine Warning Update: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, February 26
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4041808/posts

“Ukrainian resistance remains remarkably effective and Russian operations especially on the Kyiv axis have been poorly coordinated and executed, leading to significant Russian failures on that axis and at Kharkiv.”

“Russia has failed to encircle and isolate Kyiv with the combination of mechanized and airborne attacks as it had clearly planned to do.”

“Russia has surprisingly failed to gain air superiority or ground the Ukrainian air force after three days of fighting.”

How about propaganda from the other side just to balance the other propaganda.

The most notable thing about this so-called war is the all-out assault by the mainstream media against the Russians. We know they always get it right!

“The most notable thing about this so-called war is the all-out assault by the mainstream media against the Russians. We know they always get it right!”

So what have we learned from the mainstream media in the most recent past: Russia stole the election, Trump was a Russian actor so impeach him, there was no fraud in the 2020 election, Biden won fair and square, take your covid shot or you will die....

Get it?

And now:

More of the same old worn-out propaganda!
