“Russian troops were conducting “active defence” on the Avdiivka, Kupiansk and Zaporizhzhia fronts.” the active defense = cannon fodder. keep that narrative going til you cant
Putin’s gone from shifting goalposts to a different game not requiring rules or equipment altogether.
Strangely, for an *apparatchik* with a background in pushing paper, he hasn’t gotten on that stack of death gratuities piling up on his. Been subbing in potatoes, flour and oil cans for cash and aspirational videos for actors about Ladas and fur coats.
Maybe his expertise is now focused in shuttling around all that vast personal wealth in toilet paper-value rubles. Certainly isn’t in moving tanks, or finding someone who can.
The rhetoric is
“We are making glorious and great progress………backward, dont laugh, clap now, or you go Gulag!!!”
— PootinZ.
Pretty funny how quickly it goes from *glorious offensive* to *we were just defending, honest!*
There is no panic in Balakliya
Only thing Russia is good at is butchering unarmed civilians, and the whole sale slaughter of their own troops.
I guess he had to say “active defense” as “dying in place” wasn’t going to play well at home.
It’s almost impressive the Russian ability to still keep constantly coming up with new euphemisms for the same sort of failure every time.
Careful Vlad, you might stroke pulling a face like that.
We are Defending by Attacking!
Goal posts moving so much we’re not even on the same field anymore
Wonder what the rhetoric will be when winter comes and all of their troops freeze to death due to lack of equipment.
