War Porn. People getting off on reading about Russian setbacks, loss of military hardware, loss of territory ‘Lil Putin had stolen and was rapping out to his dying fans, and the many, many deaths and injuries among Russian troops.
Some truths as we know them today:
- Famed Russian military might was a farce. Putin’s buddies literally took the money and ran. Little or no maintenance on tanks, armored carriers, planes, trains or automobiles, improper shells which blow up when they try to use them. Drones that make far more droning noises than military successes. A lack of in-field medical care. Horrible leadership from top to . . . I do not think we have seen the very bottom yet. Ill-trained troops. Badly supplied and armed troops. Internal rebellions. Russian uprisings outside of Moscow. Sabotage. ( See Planes Trains, Automobiles, Drones, Ammo factories, and more)
- ‘Lil Putin did the (seemingly) impossible. He unified and expanded NATO. Considering how many experts, here, abroad, in think-tanks, or the GQP counterpart, un-think tramps, were convinced that Traitor Trump had succeeded in killing it off to gain favor from his BFF, the very same ‘Lil Putin, this is a truly remarkable failure by Putin, and a YUGE success for allied forces.
- A growing number of people believe that the same A-Level of incompetence that is painfully apparent in the conventional forces of Mommy Russia, most likely exists in its nuclear deferment. Detergent. Whatever. (Dim spill chicken is still hungover) Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz, isn’t only for US TV commercials anymore. Given the extremely high maintenance and upkeep costs (Can you say Tritium, boys and girls?), they are probably nearing junk status in many ways, not the least of which is their various delivery cysterns. Systems. (Dim you, Chicken!)
- THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF SHELLS! Let me repeat that without Truth Central emPhasis. They are running out of shells. The allegedly best equipped, largest, most powerful land farce in Eurasia is out of ammo and is ill-equipped to replace it internally. (New domestic shells blow up on contact. Like when being loaded) Iran is supplying them, with a possible assist from China.
- It ain’t just shells. They don’t dare fly their top of the line fighter bombers. Too many crash on take off. Too many land early and unexpectedly due to outside forces. And tanks? Those vaunted T-14 Armatas have a nasty tendency of breaking down when leaving their storage area parking lot. The vaunted T-90 is no match for handheld anti-tank guns used by Ukraine. Most of them are still in storage, either t save them from destruction, or because of maintenance problems. Mobile artillery? Makes for GREAT target practice for Ukraine. (And even better war porn)
- Brain Drain. Many thousands of their top scientists, top industrial experts, and designers did what any thinking person would do in the face of an incoming disaster. They ran away. Even worse, Russian spies and internal security are searching out and arresting their top military designers, causing the remainder to cross their fingers and toes, before realizing the grass is not only greener on the other side, there are no armed police, loaded drones, or jail cells waiting for them, but only if they can find a way out. Those famed, unbeatable, hypersonic weapons that had NYT, WaPo, and others so scared and in awe, whose invincibility was bought up and swallowed whole, as sold by Russian propaganda and disinformation, are being stopped by Patriot missiles. That was precisely what Russia claimed to avoid with these weapons. The Ukie scientists figured and repurposed them to great success. Even US military are happily surprised.
- Hundreds of thousands of Russian dead and injured. No nation can easily sustain such losses. (Funny, we have a parallel event taking place here in the U S and A, where hundreds of thousands anti-vaxxers, anti-science, and the core of SE American GQP will no longer vote in the next election. When last polled, they are still dead)
- Little or no front line supplies of food and water. Growing numbers of Cholera victims, lack of potable water, at the very time the Russians flooded out territories stolen by their troops by destroying critical dams and reservoirs. What were the Russians thinking? Can we expect a domestic, open air nuke test just outside of Moscow, to determine if they still work?
- US Shyte-heels, (Margarine Greene, Liberty Bibberty Boebert, Matt (I like the little ones) Gaetz, and too many other GQPee-ers), who demanded we end support for Zelensky in favor of ‘Lil Putin, are now laughed at and mostly ignored. Small blessings still count as blessings.
Sure, Ukrainians have suffered greatly. Their homes, hospitals, day care centers, roads, bridges, groceries, and offices have been targeted and destroyed. They lost loved ones, friends, children and parents. Many have lost their homes. What they have not lost is hunger for victory, then peace.
I have to admit that I personally search out news about the Little Russkie Invasion on a daily basis. I’ve traveled through there. I made some close Ukie friends when I taught foreign professors and lawyers. I fear what would happen to the Baltics and Poland if they do not prevail. I fear whirled war if ‘Lil Putin survives.
But i also fear what has happened to me. A deadening emptiness, a lack of emotions, a cold intake of statistics, when news breaks in the counter-offensive. A disturbing lack of empathy, almost like what DE-santis, Trump, and their grub-like supporters sporting idiotic red hats, practice 24/7.
I do not want to be like them. I want this war to end. I want Putin arrested and tried for war crimes, as well as his top leaders. I want . . . .
