Machines don’t shoot out puffs of air like they used to
My body is a machine that converts food into puffs of air so there is still hope
This is mind numbingly dumb. For this to be true, there would need to be active drone swarms over the Russian positions at like all times. Not just in the contested zone, but the actual outposts that they deploy from.
So somehow these drone swarms are so effective that they die within 30 minutes, yet the bases still stand? Why would Ukraine simply not walk to Crimea if this was true? The war would be over!
Who was he saying this to? I wanna know what group he thinks is morons.
As a German, this is great news! That means we don’t have to increase military spending, right?
If the barbaric Russian hordes are getting decimated, we have nothing to worry about!Too strong something something too weak, idk I’m not Italian
Our enemy is extremely weak a doomed to fail, so no need to pull out of the war. This is trustworthy intel, not misinformation crafted as part of a psyop to maintain public support for imperialism.
– John CIA, head of the Misinformation and Psyops to Maintain Imperialism Agency
They’re weak and doomed to fail and on the verge of collapse, but they also pose an existential threat. If we stop funding the war and pull out, they’re gonna invade us and it’s gonna be like 1987 and Animal Farm.
Is there an Eco in here?!
The enemy is both eepy
but woke 
The lowest claimed lifespan I’ve seen for Stalingrad was 24 hours. Aside from it being a hard thing to calculate, they’re meaning to tell me the entire warfront is that much more dangerous than the battle that leveled a city and had brutal room-to-room fighting throughout? This is as absurd at the claimed death-tolls of protesters in Iran.
I don’t even think the casualties announced by this CIA clown were that high on the first day of the Somme in 1916. You had people running straight into machine gun fire and artillery across open ground trying to overwhelm the enemy into running out of munitions.
But the empire has mega death drones now so we can kills ruzzian orcs before they’re even born /s
If this utter nonsense were true then Ukraine would be taking massive amounts of territory.
or we should be able to see the pile of bodies from space
Got any good write up of the current state of the war? According to that thread crimea is under siege and Russia is basically reduced to a single oblast.
Zelensky just fired the defense minister, something that famously happens when things are going very well and you don’t need to switch strategies.
On the ground it is the same as ever, Russia makes extremely slow territorial gains while grinding away. Losses on the Ukraine side are slightly higher than losses on the Russian side but they’re pretty close to even and comparable in my opinion which explains the extremely slow progress. Ukraine has recently managed to hit some targets inside Russia that produced big spectacular visuals so pro-Ukrainian social media has recently been invigorated into believing Ukraine is winning again. But the situation on the ground is mainly the same, Russia grinding them down very slowly.
to be fair, that defense minister was actively preventing steiner from counterattacking. we should see some REAL action now!
I don’t think that’s true. I think Fedorov and Syrsky clashed because Fedorov wanted Syrsky to make another attempt at an offensive on Crimea (stupid idea, very doomed) and Syrsky was saying no.
Fedorov’s deep strikes into Russia have produced some spectacular propaganda but has it actually improved their war position at all? No, I don’t think it has. So he’s been thrown out and someone with a more traditional approach is coming in.
What this probably means is that the deep drone strikes are going to stop and the resources going to them will start appearing on the frontlines again. That’s not going to enable an offensive though.
i was making a joke :)
Inside you there are two leaders
Zelensky ranting from his fuhrer bunker.
Putin ranting from his furher bunker.
The war is pointless please stop fighting
Moon of* Alabama did one on firing of the general.
This might be a good start, but I have not yet listened to it myself: https://hexbear.net/comment/7314195
The Events in Ukraine guy is always interesting, unfortunately the newsletter is paywalled. You can get couple of paragraphs for free though.
Simplicius publishes regular news summaries/commentary, many of which are not behind a paywall. These are not overviews but are written with some eye towards the bigger picture. I don’t know of anyone writing full overviews.
Cause if you think about that statement for a few seconds, it is unclear what it is even saying. 30 minutes in Ukraine? By what definition of Ukraine borders? The international ones? No matter how bad it is, that seems impossible. The Russian ones? Well, yes. Being behind the front lines is hella dangerous. Not sure how they would even get there. The de-facto controlled Ukraine territory? In that case, you are just saying soldiers that charge Ukraine defenses tend to die, which duh.
Hats off to Wittgenstein in that thread.
Last, meaning survival, or all their atoms forming one body, or staying erect but not orgasming?
30 minutes? as in, half an hour of time, or half of a degree of an angle?
it’s wild how they obviously have little regard for the critical thinking skills of their audience
but looking at the linked thread it seems they are correct to lol
Dogs have better critical thinking skills than most of the people in that thread. If you tease a dog, they’ll catch on after a few times. These people put Goldfish to shame in their absolute inability to sniff out propaganda, even when the propaganda is literally labeled with a giant glowing “THIS IS PROPAGANDA” sign.
Its very funny to go to the home instances of the people accusing everyone of being secret Russian propagandists, and when you scroll their news it’s just kyvipost, kyivpost, kyivpost…
Something something Masses, Elites and Rebels. https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/
Hah even some of the .worlders are not buying it
oh they’re being reasonable?.. might be worth a look…
I did say some!!
Oh yeah. If they keep up with the current speed, they might make it by ~2150 or so. Assuming they don’t run out of fuel in the meantime…
Russia will run out of fuel but Ukraine has unlimited resources apparently
That thread is infuriating. Some guy does basic napkin math and gets down voted because they dare discount the CIA.
What is even “Russia” at this point.
They should just split the countries into smaller territories and call it a day.
lol they never met a nation they didn’t try to balkanize
His “decolonized” Russia and China maps are hilarious. Neolib imperialism wants to Yugoslavia (Balkanize) or Libya (immiserate) the whole world so their precious capital can flow in. That being said, I have a proposed map for Germany:
How’d you get access to by CK2 save?
Holy Roman Soviet Republics
Libs want to do the Morganthau Plan to Russia, apparently
other than
for some reason 
What even is “The United States” at this point
They should just split it into individual states and call it a day
What’s the average life expectancy for a US politician in a Ukrainian weapons factory?
Pretty funny comment from a dot worlder though
they sell pills for that at the gas station
If Russia is, as libs say, a gas station with nukes, then it should be no more difficult for them to produce intellifuck than it is for them to produce artillery shells.
I prepared for this months in advance
https://hexbear.net/post/7320113 (CW: NSFW post; picture of a package for a gas station pill)
Warhammer 40000 lore stated that average imperial guardsman life expectancy on battlefield is 15 hours, and this is considered a meme based on books PoV being in really shit situations like being in the middle of tyranid invasion.
CIA propaganda is worse than grimdark meme.
Unfortunately they’re probably doing that thing where they take one case (say for example maybe they had one month or several where many Russian troops had been killed) and then using math to extrapolate it to four and a half years.
I don’t think it’s even that, it’s probably pure projection based on reports from the heaviest fights in entire war, that is last phase of Bakhmut battle, where one US mercenary reported that fresh Ukrainian reinforcements last around 4 hours. And since that part of the battle was just basically AFU sending people into cauldron while Russians surrounding the town and raining incredible amount of artillery shells on everything inside i would imagine Russian losses were much lighter. CIA just cranked it up to eleven and released it with close to zero thinking. Remember that lately their propaganda became so ridiculous that even Zaluzhny had publicly said that “Russia is not losing”.
