To date, five Russian 'senior leaders' have been killed in the Ukraine including one general that was killed after using his cell phone which the Ukraine resistance was able to track to pinpoint his exact location. I'm guessing it must really suck to be a Russian senior leader right about now, waiting to hear your name called next after the death of the previous senior leader has been verified. I'm also guessing Russia won't ever run out of senior leaders even if they have to start promoting soldiers from lower ranks to that position, although doing so may not be so wise since those in the lower ranks are lacking the experience of their seniors. Oh well, so much for Russian generals being able to provide a boost to the low morale currently pervading Russian troops.

Residents of Ukraine's eastern regions, occupied by Russia, have claimed the invaders are forcing untrained civilians to take up arms and fight for them.
“These people have never even held a machine gun in their hands,” Oleksii, a 24-year-old resident of Khrestivka, told The Kyiv Independent.
He said nearly every man he knew had been illegally conscripted.
Another man from the area, Ivan, said pro-Russian militants had been going door-to-door “looking for men”. They were then sending the men on what they were calling a three to seven day “military exercise”, which turned out to be a deployment to fight Ukraine.
Anastasia, whose husband already left on such a deployment, told the Independent she hadn't heard from him at all in five days. She said Russian forces had threatened to shoot men who did not comply.
That's some quality evil right there. "Here is gun. you shoot them, or we shoot you".
I expect mass desertions and "friendly-fire" incidents on the Russia side.

There's just too much fake news right now, only reliable source seems to be satellite photos. Russia is not there to knock out tanks, planes, or civilians...

There's also video of the aftermath, but it's too disturbing to show here.

A video describing Putin's links to a prominent pro-Nazi Russian philosopher.

Same for Dugin - just less proper nazism - and Prokhanov with Izborskii group.

Welcome to Far Right Russia.....you're only 10 YEARS LATE......................
Just translate this: (

Non siamo i primi in tutto. E lo ammettiamo umilmente", ma "costruire l'impero mondiale, è nostro compito, sappiamo come farlo. Ecco perché siamo Roma. E quelli che si oppongono a noi - sono Cartagine".
"Ora - proprio in questo momento, nel fuoco, nella polvere e nel sangue - la Terza Roma sta ponendo un limite alla Nuova Cartagine", sottolinea. "Non potremo mai e poi mai abbandonare gli schemi della storia sacra, ripetendola costantemente di era in era.. E di era in era l'oriente russo salva l'Occidente russo dall'Occidente non russo. Perché noi siamo Roma. Perché Roma siamo noi"See? Just go back in this thread and find my words about "Rome".
Since 2010 I was talking about this crazy man......here in Italy he got a messiah-like status in neo-fascist groups and an entire complicit party (The "Lega" of Salvini, the man with Putin's t-shirt)
He really thinks Moscow=Rome and Moscow must "purge" the world of Satan's influence (through Putin).

. So my take on that is that each commander thought "I will be the one to take Kyiv then I will rise and be Putin's favorite!"
That's precisely the way Putin got his opponents killed without any direct order.

So much misery to satisfy one old man's ego.
When are we going to stop adoring sociopaths and giving them the keys to the kingdom?

If you look at management structures in any industry, I'd say never. We would need to collectively set social expectations that the values of a leader are empathy, openness and fairness. I've never seen those things get you to the top.
I know it was a rhetorical question tho
