Those Indian hotels must be very unsafe places.
But wait! There’s more. His friend died at the same hotel. What are the odds of such a terrible coincidence happening twice in three days?
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
These guys obviously need their morale improved. Notice they are covering their faces so the morale officers can’t find them.
Perhaps instead of calling their alleged comrades “fa***ts,” they should just follow the example of these former comrades:
Here’s a Twitter thread that contains several stories about what it’s like being in the Russian Army these days. Spoiler alert: It isn’t good. I’m thinking beatings wouldn’t improve any of these situations either.
Back in Moscow folks are living in fantasyland, which certainly beats reality.
Medvedev had more than a few when he wrote this. But, hey, are you ready for President Elon Musk of the all-new Confederate States of America? How about Texas declaring independence and then merging with Mexico?
This could be a lot of hot air, aka bullshit, but it actually might come to a Russian invasion.
But it doesn’t make any strategic sense, you say. Why bother with tiny little Transnistria and Moldova when there are serious problems with the Ukrainian invasion they should be dealing with instead?
Because the Russian Army — and Putin in particular — need a victory to crow about. And Moldova, if left to its own defense, would be a pushover. And it would be a big ole distraction from the clusterfuck that is Bakhmut and Kreminna and Svatove.
It might even provoke a NATO response, which would be a two-fer for Putin. Then he’d get to claim he wasn’t losing to those ragtag Ukrainians, he was losing to mighty NATO.
