Hi Tard! This Daily Mail piece is about as subtle as your average article in the Der Sturmer archives, which I imagine is your other favorite publication. But now I do have to give you credit for your prescience about how the war would go.
Since you know all things Ukraine/Russia, I thought for sure that you’d be posting stories about the truly magnificent success the AFU is having in its long awaited Kherson counter-offensive. You haven’t done that, so maybe it was just to spare my feelings that you pivoted to Putin’s health (I’m a little confused, though, because I thought he was dying of cancer and cooties in May).
In any event, I admit, I should have expected this crushing AFU success because, after all, HIMARS destroyed all the bridges needed to resupply the RF forces, just like the British tabloids have been telling us and telling us and telling us and telling...well, you get the picture. Yep, there the Russian pensioners were (who are all that’s left of the RF army, as your articles point out) at the time of the AFU attack, without a 155mm round to their names and with only a couple of crop duster biplanes as an air force, completely at the mercy of the AFU. Thanks to your articles I now know that the reports of 2k-3k AFU KIAs and perhaps as many as 8K AFU seriously wounded, along with the reports of wounded overflowing the hospitals in Odessa and Nikolaev and being flown to hospitals in Poland, Romania, and elsewhere, are just more nefarious “Russian propaganda”. I feel better now that I have a truer handle on things and know that the AFU advances in reverse and the RF retreats going forward. That last bit makes everything ever so much clearer.
I can’t end this “thank you note” without mentioning the clever MI6 plan to take over the NPP. Imagine! 60 commandos in rubber boats sneaking across 7km of water at 6 am to storm the NNP and to be reinforced by a battalion of special ops forces coming across on 2 barges, all that on the very day the IAEA inspectors were going to arrive! That was something I never expected! The execution on the MI6 plan was breath-taking. That clever dog Zelensky really carried the war to the RF on that one. Thanks to you I now know better than to listen to non-tabloid/MSM/Biden neocon sources that are saying that 57 of the 60 commandos were killed, 3 captured, and maybe part or all of a battalion of special ops was rendered “hors d’combat” (just a little French lingo there for the admirers here of Francois Macron). It was especially gratifying to know that even a UN official at a press conference thanked Zelensky and the AFU for succeeding so well and keeping the IAEA inspectors safe.
I don’t see your friend Timber Rattler and the others around, so you’ll just have to pass on my compliments for their knowledgeable, careful, and sincere commentary on the war.
Are you still holding your Kherson referendum on Sept 11?
What in the blue blazes are you ranting and raving about now, Comrade Achilles?
