Ukraine is fucked, military industrial complex is profiting big. they spill blood, we profit. i’m looking at my own government and just think we are ran by satanic fucks who just hid their true colors in the past. used to be a morally right nation, maybe it was all an illusion.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive has reportedly claimed the life of a Russian general described as one of the army’s “most effective military leaders.”
Major General Sergei Goryachev, Chief of Staff of the 35th Combined Arms Army, was killed Monday in a missile strike in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, according to pro-Kremlin war reporter Yury Kotyonok. His death fell on Russia Day, the country’s national holiday.
“War takes away the best,” Kotyonok wrote on Telegram on Tuesday. “The army today lost one of the brightest and most effective military leaders, who combined the highest professionalism with personal courage,” he said.
Vladimir Rogov, one of the Russian proxy leaders in the Zaporizhzhia region, also took to Telegram to mourn the loss of Goryachev, expressing his “most sincere condolences” to the general’s family. Pro-Kremlin military bloggers wrote that Goryachev was killed in a Storm Shadow strike along with several other high-ranking Russian officers, though none of their deaths have been confirmed by Russia's Defense Ministry.
“Usually, colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors who provide activities at headquarters die along with a general,” Ukrainian military expert Mykhailo Zhirokhov told Current Time. “So, such an attack on the command post of the 35th Army before a big offensive is a very serious ticket to success.”
Goryachev appears to be the first Russian general killed this year, and the 10th killed in the course of the war, according to independent Russian media.
'Great concern' over reported injuries to Chechen commander - Kremlin
Reports that a top Chechen paramilitary commander has been injured are of "great concern", the Kremlin says.
Responding to questions about the health of Adam Delimkhanov, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov urged reporters to wait for "real truthful information".
Earlier, a post from Zvezda TV - which is run by Russia's defence ministry - said Delimkhanov sustained injuries but was alive.
The circumstances remain unclear, and the BBC has been unable to verify the report.
Ukraine considers Delimkhanov to be the head of Chechen volunteer units fighting in Ukraine, and a close ally of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
A fuck who sold his own people to the KGB thugs and went to seek adventure in the a foreign land gets rewarded according to his deeds:
Ukraine’s counteroffensive has reportedly claimed the life of a Russian general
In today's bizarro world, it is "morally right" for Russia to illegally invade its sovereign neighbors and get hundreds of thousands of people killed in their cock-up of a war.
That is odd. You never hear about American, British, French, or Soviet generals dying in battle ever, including those huge 20th century land wars and other conflicts. Just one Iranian general who was specifically targeted and tracked for assassination.

This is what I think too.
We are taught our nation has morals, this is to disadvantage us. I can't count the number of times I was surprised to see corruption and criminality in the government go unpunished. It used to be, just to give the ILLUSION we were a moral nation. Not anymore.
In today's bizarro world, it is "morally right" for Russia to illegally invade its sovereign neighbors and get hundreds of thousands of people killed in their cock-up of a war.
Whereas it is "satanic" for the US and the rest of the free world to provide weapons and financial support for Ukraine to defend itself from an illegal invader?
There is a big gap between being a full on Neocon Globalist warmonger and being a Totalitarian defender Leftist like Noam Chomsky.
Respectfully, I think the persecution of Trump has radicalized and broken the brains of alot of people.

Seems like airplane crash is the leading cause of death for generals.
Russian writer and propagandist Maksim Kalashnikov malfunctioned while visiting "liberated" Donbas territories, specifically Toshkivka in the Severodonetsk district. He says this is now scorched earth and the military campaign should not have been run like this.
99.9% sure that's photoshopped. I haven't smoked crack, but I've smoked weed somewhat. That photo is impossible and you can clearly see the blanket on the right isn't normal at all. Pipe would have fallen out.
The major corporate media headlines about the Proxy War this morning focused on last night’s mostly-repelled Russian drone attacks against the Ukrainian capitol, Kiev, and against Lviv, a city in Western Ukraine near the Polish border.
There was nothing about the Spring CounterOffensive™. And if Russia is out attacking Kiev again, instead of focusing on defending its captured territories, it strongly suggests the counteroffensive is over. Or at least paused to regroup or something.
If it is in fact over, it would not be too surprising. Over the last weeks, we’ve seen very few claims of Ukrainian victories by U.S. corporate media propagandists, who surely would have inflated the tiniest scrap of victory into a spectacular patriotic musical. Instead, over the last two weeks we’ve had constant reports from Russian military and warbloggers citing devastating losses for Ukraine, culminating in reports of a massive weekend assault in the Zaporizhzhia region that the Russians described as a “slaughter,” with claimed Ukrainian losses up to a staggering 50%.
Scattered through the last week there were also regular reports of Ukrainians surrendering, often in groups, sometimes in large groups and bringing heavy equipment with them. On the other hand, there were no credible reports of Russians surrendering.
The Russians were also scoring victories on the political front. News emerged over the weekend that, after the Russians had nearly captured Kiev in 2022, the Ukrainians had agreed to a peace deal that would have kept their territory intact, but precluded NATO membership. A draft treaty had even been circulated.
But, according to newly-released documents, the Biden Administration interfered, and the Ukrainians were committed to endless war.
OK, I think I give Kennedy for seeing some truth about the Ukraine fiasco.
KYIV — After it was revealed that an accounting error inadvertently sent another $6.2 billion to Ukraine, President Zelensky admitted he has already spent all the money from the accounting error as well as the money from the next three accounting errors.
"I need the U.S. to please produce more accounting errors quickly," said Zelensky. "We are out of money again, and we will need these to kill Russians and pay off the mortgage on my island resort. Democracy and freedom depend on it."
Sources in the Pentagon confirmed that the $6.2 billion error was "totally an accident" and that the money is already spent and completely untraceable. In an official statement, a Pentagon spokesperson said: "Woopsie! I guess these things just happen. No one will be held accountable. Have a nice day."
At publishing time, Hunter Biden had contacted officials in the Ukrainian government promising another accounting error from "The Big Guy" next week.
This is inline with what I've HEARD, 350,00 dead would be the number of Ukrainians and Russians. What I've HEARD is a 6:1 or 7:1 kill ratio in favor of the Russians. With 6:1, 350,000 dead would mean about 60,000 Russians dead, and about 291,000 Ukanians dead.
What have you seen from Russia's military and Wagner prisoner cannon fodder to make you think that they were able to miraculously achieve a 7:1 kill ratio?
What casualty numbers do you agree with? How many Russians and Ukrainians have been killed so far?
Congress apparently isn’t forking over the moolah fast enough, so the Pentagon has, once again, “revised” how it valued the weapons it already gave to Ukraine under prior authorizations. By re-shrinking the old numbers, which used to be called cooking the books, the Pentagon has stretched some new room into the Proxy War budget, allowing sending Zelenkeyy and his cronies another $6.2 billion dollars worth of explosive toys.
The new $6.2 billion accounting error is more than Mexico’s entire annual military budget. Of course, there is no error, not really. This isn’t a mistake. The DoD is purposely playing games with numbers and calling it a “correction.”
It’s the second time they’ve reduced the value of the military hardware already given to Ukraine, to create a moronic pretext for giving the struggling Ukrainians some more hardware without having to talk Congress into approving anything.
And that’s not all! The State Department is chipping in another $1.3 billion as well, to help rebuild stuff. ...
According to useless propaganda minister Antony Blinking, I mean Blinken, the extra billion is for rebuilding Ukraine’s war-torn infrastructure. Of course, anyone with an IQ over 80 understands that before you start rebuilding stuff, you have to stop doing war first. Otherwise, when you rebuild the power plant, Russia will just blow it up again, leaving you a half billion poorer while enriching a bunch of sketchy-looking, tracksuit-wearing, gold chain-draped Ukrainian ‘contractors.’
Which brings us to the Biden Administration’s next fairy tale, which is the fantastic notion that any money ‘earmarked’ for Ukrainian infrastructure would actually be used for bridges and power plants and stuff, and not for hookers, blow, and Italian villas. Only MSNBC’s audience could believe that ridiculous story.
Certainly, there will be an investigation into who caused this multi-billion dollar accounting crime (one way or the other a crime was committed). I am certain that hundreds if not thousands of officers were involved. Perhaps we can expect justice to be served as readily as that upon a lowly airman for posting stuff online to a gamer group. Yes, let's see them act that fast.
... or could it be that the DoD has the credibility of the FBI.
'War is good for business,' James O'Keefe exposes BlackRock
BlackRock employee shared his perspective on the Ukraine-Russia war, stating that the ongoing conflict is 'good for business.' ...
"The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market, prices of bread, you know, literally everything goes up and down. This is fantastic if you’re trading."
"Volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is real fucking good for business," Varlay stated, adding that "it’s exciting when sh*t goes wrong."
Varlay then went to say that he is one who "decide[s] people's fates."
"Every fucking day, I literally decide how somebody’s life is going to be shaped," Varlay boasted, adding "I’m not actually a finance guy, I just know what happens because I’m recruiting people who do these things."
Varlay elaborated to the undercover journalist on how effortlessly one could procure the services of a politician, stating "It’s not through who the president is. It’s through who’s controlling the wallet of the president."
When questioned about the source of influence over the president's financial matters, Varlay asserted, "the hedge funds, BlackRock, the banks. These guys run the world."
The Ukrainian armed forces have not shelled Donbas for eight years, as Russian propaganda and the Russian military leadership have been screaming about. The Ukrainians held back the Russian occupying forces by firing back at them.
Nor was there any aggravation in the east on the eve of a full-scale Russian invasion, the aggression was in fact launched by Russia for completely different reasons. Yevgeny Prigozhin , the owner of the Russian PMC Wagner, stated this.
He publicly acknowledged the fact, which is flatly denied by the Russian propaganda and its victims from among the average Russians.
"On why the special operation started. The Ukrainians had a grouping along the border with the Donbas, just the one we were breaking through from Popasna to Artemivsk. This grouping consisted of various voluntary nationalist formations as well as the active army, the AFU. This grouping exchanged gunfire. We were hitting them, they were hitting us. And this was happening all these long 8 years, from 2014 to 2022. Sometimes the number of different exchanges of fire, roughly speaking, exchange of ammunition, exchange of shots increased. Sometimes it went down,"Prigozhin said.
He also stressed that on the eve of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine last February, there was no question of any escalation and preparation of Ukraine's attack on Russia.
"As of February 24, there was nothing extraordinary. Now the Ministry of Defence is already trying to deceive the public, to deceive the president and tell the story that there was insane aggression from Ukraine and they were going to attack us with the entire NATO bloc. The so-called February 24 special operation - it was launched for completely different reasons,"Prigozhin said, adding that preparations for the invasion were carried out in secrecy.
The leader of the Wagnerians admitted that the Russian army has degraded rapidly since Sergei Shoygu joined the Russian Defence Ministry - and the invasion of Ukraine was launched by a completely non-competitive cadre of troops.
"Now about the army. Starting from 2012... It started earlier, with Serdyukov, but since 2012, when Shoigu got there, the army has been doing nothing. Each conscript was given 3 rounds of ammunition, like in the worst Soviet times, although there wasn't even such a thing in Soviet times. They were not engaged in combat training. They were not trained in different kinds of weapons, especially modern ones. And so in Russia, the army was in such a flawed state that it could not conduct any full-scale combat operations,"said Prigozhin.
In the video, Prigozhin states that the war served as an opportunity for a group of individuals to celebrate and showcase the strength of the Russian army. He suggested that the preparations for promoting Shoigu to the rank of marshal were already in place, and he received a second Hero of the Russian Federation state award as a result.
Prigozhin further claimed that Shoigu desired to be remembered as a "great Turkic military leader who became a hero and a marshal twice practically in peacetime."
According to Prigozhin, the war was orchestrated to fulfill Shoigu's aspirations, rather than to “de-militarize” or “de-nazify” Ukraine.
Additionally, Prigozhin asserted that the oligarchs, who currently hold de facto power in Russia, also had a vested interest in the war, and implied they were involved in the decision-making process.
Russia just attacked Wagner?

Prigozhin said that the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile attack on the Wagner PMC camps.
"A huge number of our comrades died, we will decide how to respond to this atrocity" - Prigozhin
