Prigozhin says Bakhmut will be taken..Russia advances…(good inside baseball on Wagner)

Around 5:30 Alexander starts talking about two sources on Wagner including it’s history and use and who actually runs it and Prigozhian role and his relationship with troops. And it’s not laudatory btw so I’d suggest Z brigade here should try and put aside their prejudices and give it a listen you might learn a little about your foe

"Do you guys truly believe all you say or just propagandizing for your cause ?"

wardady troll, we all are just making it up as we go, because we know the Russian Federation is not only as strok as the USSR, but even stronker. We know they are holding back, afraid of striking too much fear in NATO.

But if they are provoked, they will bring the full force of their highly-trained, mobilized troops in their millions to the front with 10s of thousands of the dreaded, all-powerful T-34 tanks, and vast hoards of armored vehicles stored since WWII.

You needn't be too worried about the so-called Ukrainian counter attack, as it will be lucky to penetrate your lines more than 10km. All that fancy Western gear will fail with in the first few hours, and the counter attack from your side will be devastating..

And with that Ukraine's Nazi, globohomo, corruption problems will be solved. You will be free to cleanse the land and make it a full-fledged part of the Motherland.

We are in the partying mood with the coming Russian takeover, so as a token of our good will to you and your fellow Putin lovers, sycophants, fellow travelers and FSB agents, we send you best wishes:

The Chechen wars were “far off colonial wars” — in a wild area that has been wild for a long time.

The first cost 14K Russian lives, the second probably the same.

The first was 4 years, the second 2 years, but both were again - “far away” and not on everyone’s day to day mind.

The Muscowite invasion of Ukraine has hit harder and closer to home. Plus it is a larger and has had more of a day to day impact on Moscow and St. Petersburg.

it’s like comparing the Boer war to World War One for the UK

Chechens are third rate troops. They are good for guerilla warfare in their hilly terrain.

Or rather WERE good — remember that the Chechens today are those who get subsidies from Putin

Wardaddy troll has nine years on PIF troll here and has always been a public poster known personally to scores here

Just saying PIF

you choose your insults as inaccurately as you do your information from CNN and NYT
