One of the bleakest places on Earth today is the central processing facility for the remains of dead soldiers in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, the logistical hub of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Designed to process hundreds of corpses at a time, this sprawling mega-morgue has been hopelessly overwhelmed for many months. Footage from the inside, posted by witnesses on social media, shows hundreds of bodies in various stages of decomposition and limbs strewn across the corridor floors. In wooden boxes lining the walls from floor to ceiling, row after row after row, are the lucky ones: those whose bodies were recovered from the battlefield, identified, sealed in zinc-lined caskets, and prepared for dispatch to their grieving relatives in the farthest corners of Russia. Many more corpses have been abandoned to rot in Ukrainian fields because evacuating them is impractical under the constant barrage of the defenders’ artillery and drones.
To be sure: These soldiers’ deaths are the necessary consequence of Ukraine’s right to defend itself against an illegal war of conquest. What’s more, many of these ordinary Russian soldiers likely committed despicable brutality and war crimes against Ukrainians, including defenseless civilians. But the horrific rate at which Russians are getting killed at the front—much higher than corresponding Ukrainian losses, although exact numbers are kept secret by both sides—points to two disturbing truths about the Russian way of waging war. First, a cruel disregard for human life extends to Russia’s own forces, which the Kremlin systematically deploys in so-called meat grinder and human-wave attacks. Second, mass death among Russian troops has become part of an increasingly explicit eugenics policy, by which the Kremlin seeks to rid Russia of undesirable elements and reconfigure the Russian population.

Russia can do the Meat Grinder thing longer than any other nation on Earth. Have you not studied history?
Uh oh! Russian meat waves are back! If only the West could find some evidence for it.
Tell us about Putin’s cancers and the soaring price of RuZZian eggs.
I need Zeep Doom Porn to start the day.
Snake is one of the founding Zedophiles and will take a lot of convincing. He will be commenting away on Little Z-Man when Vance is president.
I think the Chinese communists could give them a run for their money as far as stacking their own bodies… Especially during the Korean War, throwing four and five waves of bodies at American positions just to make us expend our ammo.
But yes, you’re correct in their disregard for their own people.
This is what it looked like in 1939.
The world of difference!
Waitaminut, I thought you idiots said Russia was done for?
I’m starting to think FR is on the Zelinski kickback list for allowing so much of this crap to be posted.
The Neocons’ gambit to break Russia at the cost of the Ukes thus paving the way for their friends at Blackrock to pocket the mineral wealth, farmland, etc has failed. They’ve spent huge amounts of money, they’ve wrecked the economies of Western European countries and they’ve solidified a Russa-China-Iran-North Korea alliance against the West.
The West is left in a massively weaker position than it was in before they started all this with the meddling in Ukraine, the color revolutions, etc
😂😂😅😅
The zeeperville village idiot has reported that Putin has risen from the dead once again. Hallelujah !!!
I guess the Russians don’t have an air power doctrine.
Oh well….
bkmk
The thought of how freely all this spam is coming at us has led me to similar thoughts. There seems to be no, none, nada real pushback on it.
With reference to kickback, I would say it could be deemed positive in that it drives a bit of controversy, a sense of them/us, that drives daily content, replies, traffic. My problem with that is that if true, it also drives annoyance and ultimately less traffic.
Like all the election spam, texts, ads, emails prior to 11/5, I would have hoped that post election the Uke spam would also die down. It seems like they’ve doubled down instead, and have upped the quantity.
It is interesting that Foreign Policy is cited, as if it is a stand-alone sort of media. It is not.

About Graham Holding:
"Graham Holdings Company (formerly The Washington Post Company) is a diversified American conglomerate holding company. Headquartered in Arlington County, Virginia, and incorporated in Delaware, it was formerly the owner of The Washington Post newspaper and Newsweek magazine. Its current holdings include the digital marketing company Code3 (formerly SocialCode); online and print media entities including Slate Magazine, Foreign Policy through the FP Group, which includes Foreign Policy magazine and ForeignPolicy.com), Graham Media Group (formerly Post-Newsweek Stations), a group of seven television stations...."Ever looked at Slate? Graham Holdings generally suppresses its name into a tiny corner of a web page, though it need by "transparent" by rules, it does not show its reach. There is a reason that some begin to link "neo-con" with "neo-lib" and both with the so-called Uniparty and its Department of War.Source: Graham Holdings
One wonders if the original poster for the article is aware of his fondness of the publisher of Slate?
One needs a program to tell the players.
Snake, did you take that video during your Ukrainian combat tour?
Winter is there and waves in the snow are no longer feasible
