    Two Russian soldiers have been caught venting about Putin’s “bullshit” war against Ukraine in an intercepted phone call as devastating losses reportedly led one soldier to drive over his colonel with a tank.

    “Basically, it’s a shitshow here, I’ll put it that way,” an unnamed soldier near Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine can be heard telling a colleague in a recording released by Ukraine’s Security Service late Tuesday.

    After telling his friend that Ukrainian forces “tore apart” a column of Russian forces sent along with his own unit, he described complete disarray among the Russian military, with 50 percent of the unit suffering from frostbite on their feet.

    “But they don’t plan to treat them in the [field] hospital,” he said.

    On the fourth day of their deployment, he said, the general commanding the unit, General-Lieutenant Yakov Rezantsev, told them it’d be over quickly.

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

      Would be pretty easy to spoof this though, no?

        It screams of cherry picked anecdote to support a narrative. Which is no proof that it's not by and large a true narrative, but still.

        Education is extremely important.
