Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Elder Millennial]

We all know that soylent green, er Solovyov, routinely calls for the nuking of London but do you know who lives there? Why, that would be his son.

And what is his son doing rather than fighting in Ukraine? He's working as a male model.

That doesn't seem very macho manly russian, getting around in make-up and manicures.

Fuck my life, I'm conflicted about this one.

I looked up the kid's insta...and yeah the irony is certainly something, but at the same time, the kid is not his father (despite the typical oligarch's kid living in the West routine) and I actually kinda worry about his safety, the kid would not do well back in Russia...even if he's never sent to the front lines.

But at the same time seeing that kid and contrasting it with his father's rhetoric and all the other Russian kids dying in the mud.

So again on the note of Putin killing or severely punishing anyone that dares crosses him, one of his generals has suffered a mysterious poisoning

A Russian general was poisoned by a letter laced with an unknown toxin, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said in a Telegram post on Monday.

Kadyrov, who is also a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said his top general in Ukraine has been poisoned after handling a letter that was sent to him on February 8.

Apti Alaudinov, who commands the Akhmat special forces, picked up a letter that was "saturated with a poisonous substance," Kadyrov said.

The general "sensed this by the bitter, specific smell and took action in time: he treated his hands and washed his nasal cavity," Kadyrov added.

The Chechen leader said that Alaudinov and other personnel who came into contact with the envelope sought immediate medical assistance in a Moscow clinic and are now "on the mend."

"Serious consequences were avoided," Kadyrov added.

It is unclear who sent the letter or what exactly the substance was, but Kadyrov said an investigation was underway and that there are "already results" but did not specify details.

Oh, I have no problem with Kadyrovites getting bumped off, even better if they link it to putin or anyone around him, I like me a russian civil war. (which kadyrov might be gunning for in the aftermath of this.)

Sorry, this wasn't meant to be in anyway about the son's lifestyle - it was just about the rank hypocrisy of Soylent and the other oligarchs. Soylent is always going on about the decadence and immorality of the West and how russians should be proud to die for pootie. Just not he and his obviously.

I really want the rest of us westerners to finally understand that lying is like breathing to Russians.

In Wagner, or Russia in general, the price of redemption is a gruesome death.

A Wagner mercenary who has reportedly expressed remorse and aided the Ukrainians has been rewarded by having his head obliterated via sledgehammer.

"I went to the front as part of Wagner Group," Yakushchenko said. "While on the front line, I realized that this isn't my war. Today, I was on the streets of Dnipro, where I was hit in the head and lost consciousness. When I came to, I was in this room—where they told me I was going to be put on trial."

"In captivity, I talked a lot of sh*t, and I feel very ashamed, but it was the only way to survive. Returning from captivity, I brought plenty of valuable intel that has saved many lives, so I was forgiven, and I am very grateful for that," he said.

This is not the first time the Wagner mercenary group was seen executing a Russian national using a sledgehammer for defecting to Ukraine. In November last year, a video titled, The Hammer of Revenge, showed a man who identified himself as Yevgenny Nuzhin in a similar position. A man wearing combat fatigues was also shown striking Nuzhin's head with a sledgehammer twice.

Ukraine's Armed Forces might have destroyed "almost an entire brigade" of Russia's elite 155th naval infantry in the battles over Donetsk Oblast's Vuhledar, Politico reported, citing Ukrainian military official Oleksii Dmytrashkivskyi.

The brigade totaled about 5,000 soldiers, whose members were killed, wounded, or captured, according to Dmytrashkivskyi, the head of the united press center of the Tavriskiy District of Ukrainian defense forces.

Russian troops were losing 150-300 marines a day in that area, he told Politico. "In addition, over the past week, the enemy lost about 130 units of equipment, including 36 units of tanks."

“A large number of enemy forces, including the command staff, were destroyed near Vuhledar and Mariinka in Donetsk Oblast,” Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, head of the united press center of the Tavriskiy District of Ukrainian defense forces, told POLITICO. “In addition, over the past week, the enemy lost about 130 units of equipment, including 36 units of tanks.”

Russian forces also were losing 150-300 marines a day near Vuhledar, Dmytrashkivskyi said. He estimated the brigade to have comprised some 5,000 soldiers in all, whose members had been killed, wounded or taken prisoner.

And onwards to Valentine's Day, have a great dying day russian orcs. From civilized world, with love <3

According to russian pows, the 155th has been rebuilt twice before due to losses, and the current iteration that got wrecked at Vuhledar was made up of saillors taken off boats and forced into an infantry role with almost no training.

Rebuilt twice... what's the definition of insanity again? Also taking sailors of boats means that the boats will be less effective...

This is like trying to play Fire Emblem after all your good characters are dead and you try to beat the last level with every single unit you never leveled once.

Sources pending but apparently Moldova has closed its air space once again, as they did at least few times before. Probably related to Moldova claiming Russia is trying to overthrow the goverment via saboteur attacks.

Is the black sea fleet even operating? I thought they had fled back to harbor to cower after a few to many forced submarine conversions

Less effective ships doesn't matter if they don't leave harbor.

They're still firing missiles from time to time, but they're not really getting far away from the ports no, as far as I know.

For those of you saying Russian civilians or his own cohorts should revolt and kill Putin: I'm astonished by the level of security he has since they decided to share a story.

And that's just for transport.

No one can come close to this guy, let alone attempt to kill him.

#Moldova closed its airspace. According to Moldovan media, an unknown drone has been spotted in the sky over the country.

[YUPPIE]

And you people said Moldova was under no real risk of Russian threat since they'd have to go through Ukraine.

Now Russia is unfortunately making its move.

[Saradain]

And you, annoying avatar people, think that a single drone will obliterate a nation. Keep shitposting, a drone or random saboteurs do not equal to a full-scale military invasion and genocide.

But what would you do if you can't shitpost?

[YUPPIE]

think that a single drone will obliterate a nation.

Less the drone, and that's actually mostly irrelevant, but the saboteurs are a huge threat.

The point is it's very clear Russia is trying to take Moldova right now through infiltration.

I'll quote you to ensure this post stays here even after you edit it out in case of being wrong. You heard it here first, Yuppie says Russia is trying to take Moldova RIGHT NOW.

You followed the news where the current president expressed grave concern that Russia is trying to stage criminal coups and undermine its government through said saboteurs; the one mentioned the last several pages.

If that isn't an attempted hostile takeover, what is it?
