The Ukraine war thread

@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?

Crazy talk from Medvedev. Designed in hopes to make the west think twice?

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?

War Crime
Warning: Graphic video.
"The Russian military posted a video of the shooting of a captured soldier who refuses to take off his chevron with the national flag and dies with the words "Glory to Ukraine". If anyone recognizes this person and can tell where and under what circumstances he could have been captured, write to me. please. We must find out all the circumstances of this yet another terrible war crime committed by the Russian Federation," said Butusov's telegram

How nice that Fox patriotically edited out the comment.
Journalistic excellence FTW!
Oh, sorry, sorry, mustn't shoot the messenger.

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?

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?

Suffice to say though that Prigozhin accumulated a lot power over the course of a dozen or so years. Up until recently he has been treated as a palatine prince. That privileged status appears to be waning as of late.
