History is littered with examples of armies mutinying after not being paid as promised. The Praetorian Guard and Janissaries did so repeatedly for example.
Over two years later and they are agonizingly butthurt after Yam- s did not repeat in the Nov. presidential finals.
If this was a basketball game in San Antonio, they would blame the refs, the ball, the net, the floor, the lights, the score table guy, the bats, the thermostat, the statistician, the food vendor, the crazy loud chick that screams like a banshee, opposing fans, the announcers, the networks... everyone and everything but themselves.
Sad to see.
Excellent info on this site.
They anticipated the Ukrainians being able to hold the line last March.
They anticipated the Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives.
I just have to be careful not to rely on them entirely.
Ukrainians doing a “rope-a-dope” until they start their offensive.
Putler's checks are not bouncing, they were never sent.
Smart move by Putin. Why waste money on men that will soon be dead.Putler's checks are not bouncing, they were never sent.
They clearly have a bias towards Ukraine and the US helping them.
They basically admit this.
The inner workings of Russian politics they supply is extraordinary.
They are referred to by lots of other publications because they follow internal Russian power struggles very closely.
Imo this is what they do best right now. They have moved away from the battlefield a bit and more into examining Russian intentions via various groups vying for Putin’s favor. Also realistically examining Russian capabilities.
Well yeah they are a US think tank. I just care that they have been right when so many have been wrong. It's a nice foil for Russian disinformation that hater is kind enough to spam on us.
They will also tell the reader when they overestimate or underestimate predictions.
When they give a prediction they also state the weaknesses in their assessment and why it is not solid and under what conditions the conclusions would become even more likely.
They have basically said Bakhmut is not as important as the Ukrainians think it is strategically and that its possible they might be using useful ammo and soldiers in the wrong battle.
But they understand the symbolism and that soldiers need urging on with positive results, even if symbolic.
Meanwhile hater will report on the condition of Joe Biden's bowel movements via a twitter source in the Azores with 4.5 followers.
There is a gigantic amount of information on the current Russian offensive and the makeup of the military structure. (A change in subject from Russian internal leadership problems) It an unusually large write up. Here it is:

It really is a gold mine. For example about the currently ongoing offensive:
The Leopards, Abrams, Bradleys, and Marders we gave Ukraine are still a couplle of months from being training ready sure but Russia has no such production capacity.Russian conventional ground forces are generally deploying and fighting in normal doctrinal formations and units rather than in battalion tactical groups or other ad hoc structures. The observed absence of several critical tank units suggests that the Russian military continues to struggle to replace equipment, especially tanks, lost during previous failed offensive operations. Russian forces almost certainly still have some recons uted mechanized units in reserve, but the commitment of these limited reserves to the Luhansk Oblast frontline is unlikely to change the course of the ongoing offensive dramatically. The Russian offensive will very likely continue for some time and may temporarily gain momentum as the final reserves are committed—if they are—but will very likely culminate well short of its objectives and likely short of achieving operationally significant gains.
Biden is in Kyiv now
The whole city is shut down, the Intercon is on lockdown, and a massive motorcade just went through the empty city streets

he's so much better than you'll ever be.
Joe is one bad mofo!!
Putler: Et tu Moldova?
Gruesome in the East near Kupyansk today…same old script: underequipped and poorly trained reservists getting slaughtered in senseless, ill-conceived attacks. But they did bomb an agro center today, killing 2 civvies and maiming another 5, so take that Biden and Zelenskiy!
British Intel is predicting Putin will claim Russia has captured Bakhmut between now and the anniversary to save face, but they are still a week or two and another 5,000 casualties away from taking it
