When Viktor Zolotov, director of the Russian National Guard, briefed his boss, President Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday on the status of military operations in Ukraine, one remark in particular stood out.
“I especially want to emphasize that we feel the support of the population in the liberated territories,” Zolotov told a stone-faced Putin.
In reality, Russia has been struggling to rally the support of its own troops, according to internal government documents obtained exclusively by Yahoo News that detail drunken acts of insubordination six months into Putin’s invasion.

Operation Mockingbird running full bore, all cylinders.
OpMock is indicated by the headline...who in UKR or RUS uses the phrase “assault rifles” when reporting on a frikken WAR???

Home by Christmas, I say.
The latest ca ca from the propaganda machine.
In other Chicago News ...
Vodka is part of the Ruskies arsenal.
Probably as Cargo 200, but hey, new Lada (now featuring lack of pesky airbags) for the wife...
don’t they know you can only fight wars with F-15’s?
Yahoo News. Getting information that the DoD cant.
Suck it up.
More venomous assault rifles...
Even war is getting vicious...
Who would have thought it would ever come to this?
None of this would have happened if SCOTUS and that awful 2nd Amendment had not interfered...
I’d say the existential situation for a cop in Beetlejuice Lightfoot’s Chicago and a russian conscript in Kherson are actually very similar in lots of ways - you’re fucked seven ways from Sunday and you know it. Getting drunk and fragging a superior officer is actually kind of sensible...
“ Errybody is carrying “assault rifles”
At least with one hand.
The other hand holds their drink.
Oh please, every military has a problem with drunken soldiers, sailors, etc.
Comes with the territory.
Meanwhile, the Ukies latest “ offensive “ fails, Vlad continues to occupy 30 percent of Ukraine, the West goes further into bankruptcy ( unpayable debt) , shutting down its economies and manufacturing, and the world suffers from senile Joe’s sanctions.
Doesn’t sound like winning to me. If the west thinks it is winning, I would love to see their version of losing.
I read early on that the Ukes were handing out Mosins to some of their militias. But your point is still spot on.
In the meantime, the Red Chinese have effectively taken over the Solomon Islands.
And people are all hyped up about a conflict in eastern Europe that has no business of ours to be involved in. Unless your a supporter of the Biden regime and you want to see the criminal activities continue.
