It’s time we cancelled Month Python and the racist dog whistle that is the knights of ni. It couldn’t have been more obvious if they wore white hoods.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

If software engineers showed as much attention to detail as proper engineers, we wouldn't be in the state we're currently in.

Ukranians have to be getting some type of inside intelligence to have targeted so many of the Russian commanders

@LuFins-Dad gotta wonder about that.
However, the simple fact that they're able to take these guys out says a lot about the way the Russians do stuff.
I don't think any of US generals suffered this level of loss during our campaigns. What are these guys doing on the front lines that exposes them to this type of danger?
Now, of course, what we call a "general" might be different from how the Russian military assigns their ranks, but it just seems that there's significant level of high-level damage to leadership.

Ukraine has killed another Russian general in a further “serious blow to the morale” of the invading forces, a government adviser said Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev died Tuesday during the storming of Ukraine’s most devastated city, Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko — who later posted a photo of the body.
Mityaev would be at least the fourth general killed during the invasion, which Kremlin officials are reportedly calling a complete “clusterf–k.’’
Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev died Tuesday during the storming of Ukraine’s most devastated city, Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko.
Mityaev, 46, commanded the 150th Motorized Rifle Division and had fought in Syria, Gerashchenko said, saying his body was found with “the shoulder straps of a major general.”

Good riddance
Indeed.
As @Renauda said in one of the early posts in this thread, "General" might mean different things to different nations and their armies.
But, it seems like the Russian military is losing a significant percentage of their senior leadership in the assault on Ukraine.
So, assuming that these guys were "The Best," who's going to be promoted to take up their positions? The "Almost-The-Best?"
