Nobody said it would happen in weeks, but Russia is absolutely feeling the burn of all the sanctions.

To be fair, some media outlets did say sensational things like that so they're technically not wrong. While this is a long video it does shed some light on the economic statuses of both countries. TL;DW: There are a lot of things Russia can do and have done to prop up it's economy but all those all come with costs, and those costs will pile up the longer the war goes on. However, as long as Ukraine keeps receiving western aid they will be able to keep fighting.

Definitely is happening, whether you want to admit it or not. Russian military incompetence is rampant.

There are literally some examples of it above their post

Apparently Russia released a video of a conference that featured the Commander that Ukraine said they killed in Black Sea HQ.

I haven't seen it myself, but people are also saying that he's just on video remote and he's not moving or saying anything throughout the whole so its authenticity can be questioned

I have not seen the video either, but afaik there isn't even some proof in it that it's a new video of him, and not something from last week.

Seriously, if he was truly alive it should not be hard of getting a video of him shaking hands with others or something like that.

I would expect that this "poor" general is going to die from covid (or some other shit) next week, or will be "demoted and never spoken of again".

Always nice to see when I'm not wrong with tagging people. Esecially wenn the tags start with "Rus" and end with "ill"
I went with " " instead.

I like to get creative with my tags.

I mean, if every country in the world shut Russia off instead of just the pro western ones Russia would be pretty fucked.

Russia's military industry has been hamstrung though for sure.

Putin: "Don't anyone dare get directly involved in this 'special military' operation! This is just between us and Ukraine!"
Also Putin:

Sick of the West having to tip toe around support while Russia actively courts Iran and NK and even has their personnel in Ukraine to help w/ the weapons systems they sold to them.
At least if NK involvement becomes more blatant, SK will likely take the gloves off, too.

Putin reusing papa Stalin's "punishment squads".
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/theyre-just-meat-russia-deploys-punishment-battalions-echo-stalin-2023-10-03/
https://archive.ph/xxav0

"Storm fighters, they're just meat," said one regular soldier from army unit no. 40318 who was deployed near the fiercely contested city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine in May and June.
He said he'd given medical treatment to a group of six or seven wounded Storm-Z fighters on the battlefield, disobeying an order from a commander - whose name he didn't know - to leave the men. He said he didn't know why the commander gave the order, but claimed that it typified how Storm-Z fighters were considered of lesser value than ordinary troops by officers.

Russia is moving their Black Sea fleet from occupied Ukraine to occupied Georgia:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67017375
Russia will set up a naval base in the separatist Georgian region of Abkhazia, its leader has told Russian media.

Aslan Bzhania told the Izvestia tabloid his Moscow-backed region would soon host a "permanent point of deployment" for Russia on the Black Sea coast.

It comes as Ukraine increases its attacks on Russia's Black Sea fleet. Two weeks ago, Kyiv struck the fleet's headquarters in Crimea.

All that smoke popping out earlier suggests it was losing oil pretty bad, probably leaking fuel too. That's a good way to catch on fire when hit by something.

How the fuck would Putin even know if they were doing that. There's no witnesses to tell him what was going on on that plane. "They were fucking around with hand grenades while snorting cocaine" is quite the leap. Even if that had been the case, how could you claim that with any level of confidence?

But I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that Mr. "He fell out of a window and landed on a bullet" is bad at making plausible cover stories.
