Quote:The North Koreans and the Russians share a trait: they cannot stop bragging about how well their economies are doing compared to their enemies. According to North Korea, South Korea is a slum. According to statistics, North Korea is delusional. Russia has also been living under the same delusions as North Korea: nuclear weapons make the country prosperous, proud, and mighty compared to its enemies. The Russians and the North Koreans are missing out on much of life because they eat, sleep, and work with a steady diet of lies to keep them going. It is a very unhealthy way to live, which is reflected in their shortened lifespans compared to neighboring countries.

Expanding on that thought reveals, what she wants she never gets. Too funny...

Putin is moderate compared to Yeltsin: 'Emotional' Putin reflected on life in German 'paradise' drinking 3 litres of beer a week
Vladimir Putin adored his life in Germany during the final few years of the Cold War, drinking copious amounts of beer and pouring over Western shopping catalogues.

No surprise when bucket heads Yeltsin and Putin went berserk and killed people by the hundreds of thousands, possibly while drunk with the power to do what felt good.
How did Putin end up at the top? Bizarrely: As the Kremlin clock ticked down the final minutes of the 1990s, a dour-faced representative of that “new generation” appeared before the nation as Russia’s acting president. “Like you, I intended this evening to listen to the New Year greetings of President Boris Yeltsin,” said Vladimir Putin, the former state security service chief who had been named prime minister just four months earlier. “But things turned out otherwise.”

I noticed that SECOND and THUGR are avoiding that whole "leaked top secret Pentagon docs show Kiev in poor position for spring offensive" topic. ... or anything tainted with actual facts
I'm wondering if it's because they're in denial or because their extremely limited sources of "news" just aren't reporting on it at all.

Yes. Always.
They don't watch news. They watch propaganda and editorialism. Period.

But Kyiv hasn't been sharing everything with the Pentagon because it knows that the US military consists mostly of violent incompetent weirdos like Trump's first National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn. That guy couldn't be trusted around secrets.

Wagner forces are reportedly continuing to commit war crimes by beheading Ukrainian servicemen in Bakhmut. Russian social media users published footage purportedly showing the remains of a head belonging to a Ukrainian serviceman on a spike at an unspecified area in Bakhmut.[55] Social media users recalled similar instances of skulls mounted on spikes in Popasna, Luhansk Oblast, where Wagner troops operated over spring–summer of 2022.[56] The Geneva Convention prohibits the mutilation and despoilment of dead bodies in war.[57]

Russian officials and occupation authorities continue to deport children to Russia under the guise of medical, rehabilitation, and voluntary evacuation schemes. The Ukrainian Office of the General Prosecutor issued a notice of suspicion against a Crimea-based businesswoman under accusations that she has helped deport 1,000 Ukrainian children and 64 guardians to Sevastopol, Crimea, under the guise of tourism and voluntary evacuation.[66] Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) Ambassador to Russia Rodion Miroshnik claimed on April 10 that Russia has returned 10 Ukrainian children and their mothers to Horlivka, Luhansk Oblast, after they reportedly received medical treatment at the Klyazma sanitorium in Moscow Oblast.[67] Ukrainian news outlet Suspilne Novosti on April 10 shared the story of a 16-year-old boy whom Russian forces had illegally transported to a political re-education camp after he had spent two weeks resting at the “Dream” sanatorium in Yevpatoria, Crimea.[68] Suspilne Novosti amplified reports that Russian occupation authorities continue to brainwash Ukrainian children at re-education camps in Russia, coercing them to abandon their Ukrainian identity and instead show pro-Russia sentiment.[69] LNR head Leonid Pasechnik claimed on April 9 that occupation authorities have conducted professional medical evaluations on more than 94,000 Ukrainian children in occupied Luhansk Oblast, thousands of whom Russian occupation officials have since deported to Russia for medical treatment.[70] Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereschuk stated on April 10 that Russia is illegally holding 4,396 deported Ukrainian children in Russia and announced that Ukraine is forming an international coalition to return the children to Ukraine.[71]

DOJ Races To Find Source of Leaked Pentagon Documents

Not avoiding anything comrade. My hesitancy to believe the documents story is true, is because we did the same thing during World war 2 to great success. Time will tell if it is true or not.
Bombshell Rumor: Russia’s Top General Plans To ‘Throw’ War While Putin Has Chemo, Leaked Docs State
One slide in particular insinuates that Russia National Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev and Chief of the General Staff Valeriy Gerasimov are planning to pull back on the war while Putin gets cancer treatment.
The document about "throwing" the war was marked (TS//SI//REL TO USA, FVEY/FISA), which means it is top secret and should only be available to the United States or the other "Five Eyes" countries, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Update comrade. What do you think? Still believe the leaked documents are factual?

THUGR: The documents themselves are legitimate. The information they contain is of mixed quality.
For example, there is an assessment of Kiev's air defenses (will run out of anti-air missiles by May 30) which depends a bit on what Kiev has told them, since I can't imagine NATO being able to take a reliable inventory.
There is a list of which nations are training which portions of the troops reserved for this big offensive... something that FVEY and NATO control and therefore have good info.
And then there is this (from your article)
Quote:
That slide is said to have been containing information from a Ukraine official who has a source with access to Kremlin officials.
Yeah. Right.
Anything... and I mean ANYTHING... coming from Kiev is tainted, and should be mentally warehoused until it's confirmed by events or by another, unconnected source.
Dood, this is an example of what I've been trying to tell you: you have to be your own analyst. Consider the source's reliability and bias. See if it makes sense. "Cui bono?" and "Why now?"

Russia moves to tighten conscription law, pressing more men to fight
Robyn Dixon
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/04/11/russia-conscription-mi
litary-mobilization-war/
RIGA, Latvia — When Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a mobilization in the fall to commandeer reinforcements for the war against Ukraine, thousands of men fled the country or went into hiding. But tough new measures approved by Russia’s lower house of parliament on Tuesday will make it almost impossible for Russians to dodge conscription in the future.
The law provides for electronic military summonses with bans on draftees leaving the country, making it possible to quietly sweep up thousands more men to fight — even as the Kremlin is denying plans for a controversial new mobilization.
The State Duma, which is the lower chamber, approved the legislation with just one abstention. The upper house, the Federation Council, is expected to adopt it Wednesday, and send it on to Putin for his approval, which is widely expected.
Last year’s chaotic mobilization — in which military officers were obliged to physically hand out paper notices — created scenes of young men being grabbed from the streets and at subway stations, or wrestled to the ground in shopping malls. In some cases, passersby filmed men fleeing military officials.
Under the new rules, electronic summonses will be issued to conscripts under Russia’s compulsory military service for men ages 18 to 27, but also potentially to members of the Russian military reserve and others. Under Russian law, conscripts must not be deployed to Ukraine, however complaints have surfaced that in some cases they have been sent there and killed in action.
Andrei Kartopolov, head of the State Duma defense committee, spelled out tough penalties for those who do not respond to electronic summonses, including potential bans on driving, registering a company, working as a self-employed individual, obtaining credit or loans, selling apartments, buying property or securing social benefits. These penalties could apply to the thousands of men who are already outside the country.
The electronic summons will be issued via a government services portal, Gosuslugi, used for all manner of state payments and services including taxes, passports, housing services, social benefits, transport documents, medical appointments, employee insurance and countless other matters.
Under the law, personal data of conscripts including identity documents, personal tax numbers, driver’s license details, phone numbers and other information will be transferred by Gosuslugi to military enlistment offices. Universities, business employers, hospitals and clinics, government ministries, law enforcement agencies, the electoral commission and the tax authority are also required to transmit data to the military.
With the Kremlin anxious to avoid unpopular mobilization measures, the new rules highlight Russia’s need for more military personnel, after a largely ineffective winter offensive that gained little ground despite high casualties, and ahead of an expected new Ukrainian counteroffensive ahead.
As the Kremlin prepares Russians for a long war, the need to continually reconstitute depleted Russian military units could drag on for years.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense has recently recruited hundreds of prisoners on 18-month contracts to fight in the war, according to Russia Behind Bars, a prisoners’ rights group, after the Wagner mercenary group was blocked from recruiting in jails.
The military has also been offering Russian passports to foreigners who join the Russian armed forces and has been running a voluntary recruitment campaign.
In December, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced plans to increase the size of Russia’s military by 30 percent to 1.5 million servicemen, including 695,000 volunteer contract soldiers.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the new law is “absolutely necessary” but added that it is not connected with the mobilization of more Russian men to fight in the war.

Yanno, the USA was defeated in Afghanistan, and fought to a standstill in Iraq, Syria. Militarily defied by Iran and Russia.
And yet you persist in the delusion that the USA has this big unstoppable military.
Will you admit your mistake when NATO gets its ass handed to it in Ukraine? Or will you continue to deny reality?
One way I see the war in Ukraine ending is that Zelenskiy flees Ukraine and sets up a "government in exile". That way NATO/USA doesn't have to surrender or acknowledge defeat, and they can do a gentle PR glide to memory-holing the Ukraine clusterfuck.
