    @Renauda well, that's certainly interesting.

    Do you think that this discussion came with approval from higher-up, or is it more likely that this commentator will suffer an unfortunate fall from an open window?

      Difficult to say. It is only a snippet from the show and it could be a part of a patriotic rant.

          Crazy talk but nothing substantially different from his usual jingoistic gibberish. He is restating Russia’s objective of obliterating the Ukrainian state. Medvedev has assumed the role of Goebbels in the histrionics arising out of this war.

            This war has had medieval tactics from its outset. Arguably Russian tactics could be referred or compared to a chevauchée.

            Seems that shovels are being employed in a melee:

              I saw that earlier.

              From this tweet, it appears that their 21st century tactics aren't all that good either. Another friendly-fire?

                    That and not understanding the lessons of history. Not surprising though, as he grew up and was educated in a country that distorted history in a vain attempt to legitimize itself.

                                    As John Bolton stated in a recent interview “Putin thought Trump was a fool who could be easily manipulable if he could get him the right situations”. Putin certainly recognized that Trump admired the other strong man leaders like Erdogan, Xi and Kim. Moreover, he saw Trump as a force set out to weaken if not altogether dissolve NATO.

                                    Trump sold out the Kurds to Erdogan so why, in his little narcissistic brain, should the Ukrainians be not be sold out to Putin?

                                          @Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

                                          Sidelining Prigozhin:

                                          Is this a big deal?

                                          Wagner seems to have played a big role in the "special military operation." Will it continue to do so with Prigozhin on the outs?

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