6ix, you live in darkness and confusion. Your imagination will make rules and laws that don't actually exist. On the other hand, actual laws and rules are unknown to you, which makes life hard for you.

To point out one reason the Russians had huge casualties during WWII, all out of proportion to how many would have died if the leadership was competent, there is this one order repeated in the translation to the novel The People Immortal:

ORDER NO. 270, ISSUED BY THE STAVKA (THE SOVIET SUPREME COMMAND) ON 16 AUGUST 1941
This concludes as follows:

In the ranks of the Red Army, can we tolerate cowards who desert to the enemy and surrender, or commanders so cowardly that, at the slightest hitch, they tear off their badges of rank and desert to the rear? No! If we give free rein to such cowards and deserters, they will promptly bring about the disintegration of our army and the destruction of our Motherland. Cowards and deserters must be destroyed.

Can a commander be called a commander if he hides in a slit trench during a battle, if he does not keep his eyes on the battlefield, if he does not observe the course of the battle from the front line – yet still sees himself as a battalion or regimental commander? No! Such a man is not a battalion or regimental commander but an impostor. Should we give free rein to such impostors, they will soon make the army into nothing more than a massive bureaucracy. […]

I ORDER:

1. That commanders and political officers who, during combat, tear off their badges of rank and desert to the rear or surrender to the enemy are to be considered malicious deserters, their families also subject to arrest as relatives of a man who has violated his oath and betrayed his Motherland.

All higher commanders and commissars are required to shoot on the spot any such deserters from among command personnel.

2. Units and sub-units encircled by the enemy are to fight selflessly to the last, to take care of their equipment like the apple of their eye and to break through to our main forces from behind the enemy front line, defeating the Fascist dogs.

Should his unit be surrounded, every Red Army man, regardless of rank or position, is required to demand from a higher commander that he fight to the last in order to break through to our main forces, and should such a commander or Red Army unit prefer to surrender rather than strike a blow against the enemy, all possible means, both ground and air, should be used to destroy them. The families of Red Army men who allow themselves to be taken prisoner are to be deprived of all state benefits and assistance.

3. Divisional commanders and commissars are required to immediately remove from their posts any battalion or regimental commander who hides in a slit trench during a battle and is afraid to direct the course of the fighting from the battlefield. Such men should be demoted as impostors, transferred to the ranks, and, if necessary, shot on the spot. They should be replaced by brave and courageous men from the junior command staff or from the ranks of Red Army soldiers who have distinguished themselves.

This Order to be read aloud in all infantry companies, cavalry troops, artillery batteries, aircraft squadrons, command posts and HQs.

Stavka of the Red Army Supreme Command
Chairman of the State Defence Committee I. STALIN
Deputy Chairman of the State Defence Committee V. MOLOTOV
Marshal S. BUDYONNY
Marshal S. TIMOSHENKO
Marshal B. SHAPOSHNIKOV
Army General G. ZHUKOV

This order is the kind of thing that someone, actually Stalin and Molotov, would give if he misunderstood almost completely how an Army wins fights without squandering the lives of the soldiers. There is reason to believe that Putin is as ign

You're going to talk to me about laws when you're not only pirating stuff, but you're posting the links to pirated content on a public board that requires no signup to view, is based off of old http security tech, and is completely visible to a Google search?

If there were any moderators here, those links would be deleted immediately and you already would have been removed from this site years ago for multiple infractions.

Every time you post a link to pirated content on FFF.FANS, you risk putting Haken in a bad spot. I don't imagine that they'd ever go after Haken personally for any financial compensation (unless he stood his ground and told them to fuck off after the cease and desist letter makes it to his desk), but I would imagine that rather than do a deep dive into an old website that doesn't have the greatest search functionality it would be much easier for Haken to just shut the entire site down for good, rather than clean up your fucking mess that you've left all over the boards since you've been a member.

Stop posting pirated shit. Idiot.

Meanwhile... back in Ukraine (and back on topic) ... things go from bad to worse for Zelenskiy and "his" war.

A number of Z's backers and friends have resigned, died, or been sacked lately.

Z's spin-meister and friend from his early acting days, Oleskey Aristovich, was the first to go. He resigned after saying a Ukrainian defense missile diverted a Russian missile, causing it to land on an apartment building. https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2023-01-17-adviser-to-ukraine-s-pres
ident-resigns-after-comments-about-%22dnipro-missile%22.rkbAk0bNjs.html Ever since then, he's been singing out of tune, saying that Ukraine can't win the war. Since this is so unacceptable to the narrative ... and yet, he continues to live... in Ukraine... some people speculate that he's being protected by the CIA.

Next, Z's Interior Ministry ... yep, the top three people and nine others ... all died in a helicopter crash. https://www.foxnews.com/world/helicopter-crash-near-kyiv-leaves-18-dea

Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, who oversaw Ukraine's police and emergency services, is the most senior official to die in Ukraine since Russia invaded nearly 11 months ago.
Monastyrskyi's deputy Yevhen Yenin and State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Yurii Lubkovych were also among those killed in the crash in Brovary, according to Ihor Klymenko, the chief of Ukraine’s National Police.

Opinion is divided on whether this was a fortuitous accident or assasination.

Shortly after that, oligarch Kolomoisky - who funded Z's TV show "Servant of the People" and then bankrolled his run for President - was investigated for corruption, and his home was raided. As was Ex-Interior Mininster Arsen Avakov. Considering the levelof corruption in Ukraine, nearly EVERYONE is guilty. This isn't an anti-corruption campaign, simply a targeted prosecution for political purposes. In addition

The raids, first reported by the Ukrainian media, come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last month pledged to eradicate corruption amid a high-profile graft scandal.

David Arakhamia, the leader of the Servant of the People faction in parliament, confirmed on Telegram that raids were carried out on the two men, as well as at the premises of the Tax Office, .

He added that the management team of the Customs Service would be dismissed and that Ukraine, which was plagued by deep-seated corruption before Russian troops invaded almost a year ago, would undergo a change.

Another high-profile dismissal is Oleskii Reznikov, Z's Defense Minister. Reznikov was tied to a scheme of overpaying (by a facctor of three) for food supplies for the troops. He managed to hang on by his fingernails for a week or two after the news came out, but was just replaced by the head of military intelligence, Major General Kyrylo Budanov.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-defence-minist
er-russia-war-latest-news-b2276355.html

Budanov is seen as being closer to USA neocons, while Z is closer to the Eu elites like BoJo the Clown and Urusula van der Crazy. Overall, the effect is to isolate Zelenskiy from his former backers and cronies and place a USA-controlled minister closer to the center of power.

BTW I was just grabbing the first relevant links I could find, but feel free to look up these events on your own since they've been all over the news.

Either the USA State Dept/ DoD/ CIA has gotten tired of pouring money into an endless hole of corruption and seeing littlein return, or they're tired of Z and is nose candy thinking that he's in charge and they're actively planning to replace Z once he's served his purpose.

6ix, you misunderstand the law. You misunderstand even simpler things like "Responsibility". Who is going to teach you better? Certainly not the dimwits you live around. It is absolutely no surprise how much you, and your leader Trump, screwed up your own lives when you have a head crammed full of false or confused beliefs. This also is applicable to the Russians. It is no surprise that they have impoverished themselves with their ill schemes for running their economy. Partially to blame are the Marxists who have crammed false or confused beliefs into Russian heads for more than a century. The result is the Russians have an economy that performs poorly.

There is another reason Russia is poor compared to other nations. The government keeps threatening its citizens with death or imprisonment. The smartest citizens respond by emigrating. There has been a huge outflow of the smartest Russians for a century, leaving obviously dumb ones to take control and teach the next generation new lessons full of nonsense and foolishness. The smartest from that next generation will also leave Russia for better countries, leaving Russia even stupider. The remainder of the 21st Century will be worse for Russia because the smartest have already left during the Ukraine war. This will happen even if Russia wins.

You should wait before burying Ukraine. It hasn't lost. The Russians' best move is to declare victory, evacuate all Russian speakers from areas it now controls, including Crimea, and go home. Then it can strive to become wealthy as the next Canada. Canada doesn't seem to feel threatened by the existence of the US directly on its border. Either Canada is crazy to trust the US to not invade Canada or Russia is crazy for feeling threatened by NATO. It is either one or the other. I suggest Putin see a therapist about his fears of NATO.

By the way, Signym, it is not mudslinging to call a crazy, irresponsible, violent ignoramus for being crazy, irresponsible, violent, and ignorant. Whether it is Putin, Trump or 6ix.

While I'm at it, I don't believe the CIA, FBI, DOJ, Kiev, NED or AID either. OPCW has earned special emnity from the people of the Donbas for ignoring shelling by Kiev.

Since 2014, about 9,000 civilians have been killed in the Donbass. Such data were presented at the press conference “Scorched memory of Donbass: war crimes of the Ukrainian army and new data on the massacres of the civilian population.”

According to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) Anna Soroka, more than 2,000 civilians, including 35 children, were killed during the conflict in the republic, 3,365 people were injured, including 88 minors.

The Commissioner for Human Rights in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Daria Morozova, said that more than 5,000 people, including 91 minor children, became victims among the population of the DPR. About 8 thousand more people were injured of varying severity during this period.

And this is why you're not worth talking to, beyond calling out every now and then. It's what I was talking to Six about: agreement of basic facts. Your response to reputable figures that you don't like (the UN - Russia, China and a whole load of Russia-friendly countries are in the UN) is... to post an article from a Tanzanian website that quotes pro-Russian officials. (Let's face it, you googled specifically for the "facts" that you wanted, and then picked the first result you could find that looked like a vaguely neutral and reputable source).

So you'll reject basically any source that reports something you don't want to hear, and you'll accept any source that gives you the "facts" you want? This is a recipe for being completely unmoored from reality. And this is, of course, what we see reflected in your posts.
