    Hard to win a war with an army that doesn't want to fight it.

      I'll say it again - this has gone so spectacularly bad for Putin that it is quite imaginable that this is what we wanted all along. There's a whole lot of advanced military strategic and tactical thinking going into Ukraine.

          I get it that Putin is giving Kadyrov a chance to put up or shut up. Still it shows the Russian public that Putin is scraping the barrel:

          https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/10/05/putin-makes-chechnyas-kadyrov-an-army-general-a78992

          On the other hand maybe he’ll be deployed to the front where he will ingloriously die by way of a targeted Ukrainian drone or artillery ordinance. Either way I hope he dies “not well”.

            He's been beating on the Chechens since he was prime minister.

              Hate to say it but a lot of Chechens earned a beating. Collectively they have a bad reputation through all the former Soviet republics, not just Russia. They are particularly despised in Ukraine and Georgia.

                It makes me suspicious of Kadyrov getting behind this obvious failure.

                  Kadyrov is a hatchet man, an assassin, one of Putin’s ethnic Capos.

                  As I say when the time comes for him to die, he’ll die and it will not be well.

                          Graffiti seen on bridge in Ulan Bator, Mongolia:

                          Россия, не связывайся с монголами. Чингиз уже надрал тебе задницу. Мы сделаем это снова.

                          Translation: Russia, do not get involved with Mongols. Genghiz already kicked your ass. We will do it again.

                            Who is the biggest supplier of weapons to Ukraine?

                            Russia has supplied more weapons to Ukraine than any other Western country.

                            Ukraine has captured 460 Russian main battle tanks, 92 self-propelled howitzers, 448 infantry fighting vehicles, 195 armored fighting vehicles and 44 multiple-launch rocket systems, according to Oryx.
