Interesting day in Russia

I would have been an outstanding grunt

Judging by the amount of grunts I make going about my daily life, I think I would have made a lousy grunt.

They have mucho nukes.

Joke of a country…but can still destroy the world.

Which of course includes Russia, nuclear war would kill at least 90 percent of all Russians. Not a path for a successful future.

Makes him a scary guy to be taken more serious than we are. I just finished another spy novel (I know hardly a bastion of reliable info) but a line stood out. Russia and their people are in a constant state of ready for war, Americans are either at peace or war, nowhere in between. I’ll ask, do we let china take Taiwan unpunished? do we go to war?

Going nuclear is not war it is national suicide.

Heard some interesting info recently about our involvement in Syria. Apparently, our 'advisors' kicked the living sh*& out of the Russians and outmanuevered them in every battle. Pentagon viewed it as a test case for future conflicts with the Russians. Apparently, our weapons systems/technology are better than theirs, hence the reason for going all in on Ukraine.

This is a little long but excellent recounting of major battle between US and Wagner Group in Syria...

Special Forces Soldiers Reveal First Details of Battle With Russian Mercenaries in Syria

This battle became one of the rare occasions American and Russian combatants exchanged fire—one of the deadliest battles the Americans had faced in Syria.

Well, let’s hope that Prigozhin’s demise will somehow lead to an end of this idiotic war.

Porgi just faking his death before putin could poison him.

It was an obvious misdirection - he was really on the Luna 25

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Outstanding...

 

[J@y]

It was shot down

This was most likely a small explosive device hidden on the plane and activated remotely. KGB style assasination.

 

[MacNit]

No. Mutually assured destruction is a losing game.

Good. Inform the DoD and Russia (and a China) to mutually disarm! Of course they count!!

Very raw description. That is war fighting. Nothing glamorous. Constantly close to dying. Also demonstrates the power & lethality of air & ground forces when properly applied. The real advantage though was probably night vision for the U.S. Special Forces .

So this lowlife was Putin's Chef and Mercenary Chief all of that. But Prigozhin was also accused of running a troll farm that caused The US some problems.

I strongly believe that a troll farm was deployed against PSU as a result of our problem in 2011, so the thought of a troll farmer dying a violent terrifying death pleases me.

Did we learn nothing from the 80s?

Only if everyone who has to give the ok to launch and everyone who has to actually launch agrees- how likely is that to happen unless their homeland is under direct threat?
