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

      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.

          @Mik

          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.

              @Mik

              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?

                        Answer:

                        ***NSFW content***

                        click to show

                        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.

                                Someone tweeted that the irony is that's a 90's Ukrainian pop song.

                                  Maybe that was deliberate? Selling the liberation B.S.?
