    Most have him on ignore, or just ignore him.

    It was comical for a while. Entertaining in a NASCAR crash kind of way, but in the end it just clutters up the thread without adding any value.

    It certainly looks like trolling but a plausible scenario is that he’s a member of the 3%’rs or similar. They hate America, blacks, Jews and the like and admire thugs like Putin or Nazis.

    Without knowing more it’s impossible to tell.

    Speaking only for myself I actually find your posts entertaining in a bizarre way. If he could read them Vlad would be proud of the way you are representing the Russian Federation on this board.

    These are the days that I wish someone like Jim Mattis was our National Security Advisor, instead of that feckless, political-hack, begging-for-wedgie milquetoast Jake Sullivan. Mattis would have no problem looking Medvedev straight in eye, putting two fingers in his chest, and saying, “Skin that smoke wagon, and see what happens.”

    Good thread on Sea Sparrows and negating Russian ability to overwhelm air defenses with numbers

    And after the US engineered coup of 2014. My beef with the article is that it left out both world wars and Vietnam and others as Democrat wars. You could argue that the Democrats have always been the war party.

    Much as they try to keep a lid on things, the truth leaks out on occasion ...

    What is happening in the battle of Bakhmut? The news we are receiving is of the death of very many people.

    Yes, we have to look to the Donbas because Bakhmut is precisely the blackest point of the war in Ukraine. This week, both the Institute for the Study of War, which is a prestigious American think tank, and other international thin tanks, have agreed that up to 400 Ukrainian soldiers a day are being killed and wounded in Bakhmut.

    And beyond the number, which is just a figure, I have been able to talk in recent days with different military sources, both official and combatants who have been there, and what they say makes one’s hair stand on end. The city is for the moment under Ukrainian control, but the Russian troops have stationed their artillery close enough to fire there, but far enough away so as not to expose their troops too much. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army, as it has to defend the terrain, has a lot of infantry, light units, paramilitary units that can do little against the bombs. This combat front has become today a real human meat grinder. That’s how crude I can say it.

    Right now it is one of the most, if not the most, worrying point for Zelenski’s armed forces. Our listeners are probably wondering what is the importance of Bakhmut to take such a commitment to defend the position with such a very high cost of living. Bakhmut is not an iconic city like Severodonetsk was, where one of the great battles of this war also took place. Bakhmut is not that kind of iconic city. However, it is a communications hub that is key to the supply lines of Ukrainian troops in Donetsk province, and it is also the buffer that contains the advance of Kremlin troops towards Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. If the Russian Army were to take these two cities, it would gain almost total control of the Donetsk province and, therefore, of the entire Donbas, something that Putin could already sell as a great victory. So you can imagine the effort that the Kremlin is putting right now in taking Bakhmut and what it is costing the Ukrainians to defend it.
