Axioma, owned by Russian steel magnet Pumpyansky, seized today after docking in Gibraltar for fuel. 

Apparently Abramovich has a ~$50 million house in Aspen that is in his name (rare for oligarchs, apparently).  Hopefully it will be seized soon.

See Biden cautioned regarding forthcoming cyber attacks.  Anyone seeing any additional intel on what is prompting the warnings?  We've known it's a risk but seems like increased risk if the President is discussing it.

No apologies for my take. I love seeing invaders slaughtered. My only regret is that there aren’t more. Make it 50,000. Make it 100,000. They’re fine attacking civilians in Mariupol. So they can die. All of them. There’s only one path to redemption: lay down your arms and surrender.

Yep.  And all of these contracted soldiers, would have signed contracts (or re-signed) after Crimea, and probably after the start of the shit in Syria, so it's not like they didn't know what they were getting into.

Rob Lee just posted a string of dead captains and other officers.  If they are company-level commanders, that's a huge blow, because obviously their lieutenants aren't worth shit.

This was from one of his notices (VK.com is basically Russian Facebook, etc.)

Quote

Altai soldier died during a special operation in Ukraine
Eugene participated in the special operation from the very beginning. He died during the capture of the crossing across the river. However, his actions made it possible to prevent the enemy from breaking through. The captain was mortally wounded by shrapnel.

He died trying to capture a river crossing, but he prevented the enemy from breaking through, because he was trying to capture a river crossing, that the enemy owned and didn't need to break through.

And this was another notice about him:

Quote

It is known that the man died while performing a combat mission - capturing a crossing across the river. Despite the superiority of the enemy, his group managed to take the object. At the same time, under the leadership of a serviceman, four armored personnel carriers and a large number of enemy soldiers were destroyed. During the battle, Cherkashin's tank was attacked with the Javelin anti-tank missile system. A native of Altai received a shell shock, but still pulled the crew out of a wrecked tank. At this time, a fragment hit him, which mortally wounded the man.

Hey, the Russians are mentioning Javelins in their official death notices on their social media platforms.  Wonder if anybody will pick up on that.

[atomheartbevo 89648]

And this has been tagged on to plenty of those notices

Quote

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov, said that as a result of a special operation in Ukraine, there were dead and wounded among the Russian Armed Forces. He noted that the losses of Russian troops are much less than in the Ukrainian armed forces. The representative of the Ministry of Defense stressed that the Russian army does not show aggression towards the military of Ukraine who have renounced military operations and laid down their arms.

Quote

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called it its goal "to protect people who have been bullied for eight years, genocide by the Kiev regime." According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Armed Forces strike only on military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. With the support of the Russian Armed Forces, they are developing an offensive of the DPR and LPR grouping, but we are not talking about the occupation of Ukraine, the President of Russia stressed.

Georgy Dudorov, a graduate of the cadet corps of the Investigative Committee, who died during a special operation, is the son of Alexander Dudorov, Deputy Governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug

Quote

The man graduated from the cadet corps of the Investigative Committee. During the special operation, he served as deputy commander of the reconnaissance company of the Tula Airborne Division. On March 6, his company came under artillery attack by Ukrainian nationalist detachments, as a result of which he died, according to the Investigative Committee of Russia.

Dudorov was posthumously awarded the Departmental Medal of Valor and Courage.

Quote

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin posthumously awarded Dudorov with the departmental medal "Valor and Courage" and instructed to provide comprehensive support to the family of the deceased. According to local media, the 23-year-old paratrooper has a wife and a 5-month-old son.

Hmm where to start on Belarus.

Lukashenko is a POS. Yet, the people there cut the rail lines to Ukraine.

If Lukashenko commits troops they aren't covering his ass.

If Belarus invaded Ukraine, could we bomb their troop buildups? No fear of nuke attack. I’m guessing Russia would just interpret an attack on Belarus as an attack on Russia.

Actually those tweets that Rob Lee and some others are posting have links to the death notices/obituaries that are on the Russian news service websites and Russian social media.  That's part of why they are posting the links - it's verifying that these dudes were killed, and also that there is some awareness at home.

VK.com is Russian social media.

Some of the others (.ru) are either news services or local government (think city or county) notices of the death/funeral.

It's interesting, Russian government may not be providing total numbers, and they maybe quietly moving the bodies out of Ukraine to Belarus and then distributing them to various cities/towns in Russia, but this shit is not being hidden away.

From all indications, the Ukrainians will completely destroy the Belarusians post haste. I think all sides probably know this by now, which is why: NATO won’t do anything (no need, let the Ukrainian meat grinder keep turning); Lukaschenko hasn’t sent them (he loses everything he sends into Ukraine and then maybe the folks at home turn the guns on him); and why Putin hasn’t demanded it (won’t do any good at this point, just shows more weakness and takes one of his pieces off the board with no sacrifice from the Ukrainians/NATO).
