From the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - Carl Benjamin (ex Sargon of Akkad) Talking about how the performance and even structure of the Russian Army is determined by its low status in Russia's pecking order, to the point that even theives (the Russian Mafia) rank higher, and absurdly (this is a real life Monty Python sketch), that the mafia collects protection money from soldiers, officers and military bases. And much more.
“I don’t hear anyone in the administration or in Congress on either side for that matter talking like we need to look for some cease-fire and negotiated peace.”
Well, probably because Putin won’t accept any cease fire or peace agreement that doesn’t amount to total capitulation to his demands. That might have something to do with it.
One of my favorites!

And of course this is not gonna escalate the war at all right?
“This is the army that neo-cons have been trying so hard to frighten everyone about.”
“Hey hey ho ho, guns and tanks have got to go.”
That’s the hippie talk from the 60’s , they also said the Russians wouldn’t hurt a flea .
“Neo Con “seems to be the same anti military code word the long haired hippie types spouted off back then.
Starving Ukraine of weapons to force them to surrender to the invading Russian army is your answer? They are fighting for their own soil. I hope it’s the larger Switchblade 600, as that system could have a significant impact.
We have that in the US. We call it the "Internal Revenue Service"
It’s been going on longer than you think.
It's also been widely reported that the hazing of conscripts includes repeated rape. A couple years ago a conscript went Full Metal Jacket and killed 8 soldiers that raped him.
