Oh well, billionaires now discovering real life issues is somewhat we can thank Putin for.....the tsar abandoning his Versailles Court.

More a "warning" than a real poisoning...

Speaking about russian methods, it's okay. "West" doesn't realize how russian methods are medioevally efficient (Mariupol is no more without using any special weapons).
Classic "Bear" metaphore is correct.

The Russians are fighting like they did in World War II, with essentially the same weapons. Soon they will not be able to pay with anything but bitcoin :D

Every moment you spend murdering civilians and destroying their homes is a moment not spent on destroying military targets and achieving your real objectives. While Russian forces are bogged down at Mariupol, they are not able to help anywhere else. Not to mention that acts of barbarism like that tend to turn everyone against you, even people who would have supported you otherwise.

You heard that the Russian soldiers sold their encrypted radios to gangsters? Because gangsters like the security features. That's why they're using retail mobile phones.

Colonel Ruslan Rudnev, the latest notable death, did not occur in action. The commander of the 13th Tank Regiment committed suicide after it was discovered the majority of tanks under his command were found with their engines and electronics missing.

Quote:

Colonel Medvechek of the Russian 37th Motor Rifle Brigade was killed after being run over by his soldiers as a “consequence of the scale of losses that have been taken by his brigade,” as reported by Evening Standard.

Meanwhile, Russia claims Ukraine fighting back is bad for peace talks. Like, Russia is meant to do the explody-explody stuff. It's against the rule to do that back!

Quote:

Vladimir Putin risks running out of viable tanks, missiles and fighter jets because the components they use are made in Ukraine, The Telegraph understands.

The engines for all Russian helicopters, ships and cruise missiles and a substantial portion of fighter jet engines and ground-to-air missile and tank components are made in Ukrainian factories, which no longer supply Mr Putin's forces.
