Russia said on Friday that Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited a command post in Ukraine’s southern region of Zaporizhzhia and inspected troops there.

The Russian defense ministry did not say when Shoigu made the visit but the statement was released as Ukrainian troops prepare for an offensive and have stepped up their activity along the front line.

“Sergei Shoigu inspected the forward command post of one of the formations of the Vostok group of troops in the Zaporizhzhia direction,” the Russian defense ministry said in a statement.

Conducting head-of-state diplomacy, just like Churchill did in World War II, silly.

Shoigu is pretty stupid for letting himself get geolocated in Mariupol.

Diplomacy? Bakhmut has fallen, his remaining military is decimated and the much ballyhooed SpringSummerWinterFall counter-counteroffensive never happened. Grease Spot is an appropriate nickname.

He could get a hanger full of F-20s but it won’t help. NATO is a hollow army

No one sums up how dirty our foreign policy has been in Ukraine and explains how we provoked and wanted this proxy war with Russia better than Col. Douglas Macgregor. An interview with Macgregor:

“NATO is a hollow army.”

Then why has Russia been using NATO as an excuse to invade Ukraine?

You are so blinded by affection for Russia that you can’t even introduce a coherent argument.

Macgregor has been wrong on pretty much everything having to do with this war.

Macgregor and his boss Wesley Clark bombed civilians in Serbia. Funny how he doesn’t want to talk about that.
