So have the Poles been chosen to be the lead attack dog on Russia, or is this entirely of their own accord, or some combo? Seems like they’re pretty strident and wouldn’t be so if they weren’t sure of US/EU support.

Poland hates Russia, mostly because Russia has crapped on them for 400 years.  They're part of NATO now, and know they have the backing of the World's most powerful military (us).  And now they see how weak Russia is and yeah, they wanna get in on that.

Think of the dorky kid in HS who got picked on by everyone.  10 years later comes to the reunion.  Spent the last decade lifting weights, banging 10's and taking his tech IPO public. He's gonna be looking for revenge.

Russian Mercenary: I cannot, for I am a mercenary -- a professional soldier whose allegiance is to the highest bidder.

Ukrainian #2:  Professional soldier, eh?

Russian Mercenary:  Yes.

Quote

The top Russian official serving as the face of Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine hasn’t been seen publicly for nearly two weeks—but that’s because he’s busy with “many concerns,” the Kremlin said Thursday. Asked by reporters to comment on the whereabouts of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was busy with Putin’s “special operation” in Ukraine. “Of course, now is not exactly the time for media activity. That’s completely understandable,” he said, brushing off reports of Shoigu experiencing undisclosed health problems.

 

 

Quote

He went on to say Shoigu had attended a recent meeting where he briefed Putin on the state of the war in Ukraine—though no video recording of such a meeting was released, Meduza reported. Speculation about the cause of Shoigu’s mysterious absence has only grown after longtime Putin adviser Anatoly Chubais abruptly resigned and left the country this week, reportedly in protest of the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine. Peskov tried to play down Chubais’ departure in comments to Russian media Thursday, claiming he was not a “direct employee of the presidential administration.” “Listen, I honestly don’t understand why we are devoting so much time to this,” he was quoted telling Komsomolskaya Pravda. “Every day someone resigns from the administration, or new employees come. It’s a fairly large and lively mechanism.”

Here's to switchblades shortening the war and limiting civilian casualties. Russia has shown that it cannot win on the battlefield and that the primary threat it presents is bombing civilians. If a combination of hunter groups and precision guided drones can take out Russian artillery and missile systems, its over.

Yes. After telling the Russian Warships to go fuck themselves, the Russians shelled a bit and then landed and took the island. It captured most of the guys on the Island and since they went Radio Silent Ukraine thought they were all killed. Later Russia used them for propaganda purposes, so Ukraine saw that and came out a couple of days later and gave a correction saying they were actually alive after all. Now they're trying to get them back since they were awarded as heroes.

So....Putin saying that he is actually planning to attend the G20 meeting is just bullshit, right? He doesn't actually have the balls to try and travel to that and make himself such an easy target, right?

Obviously there would be no assassination attempt at the actual meeting, but it's a long way from Moscow to Bali.

That was my thought too - homeboy won't even sit close to his closest advisers at a table but is going to come out of the bunker and travel to the G20?  It's horseshit that he's invited, but I don't think that bunker bitch has the stones to travel right now.

That's not the historically puzzling thing.  The historically puzzling thing is why the Nazis didn't use latent and widespread anti-Soviet sentiment in Ukraine and other Soviet republics to mobilize local forces in an anti-Soviet coalition.  While they would take some guys directly into the SS, they threw into concentration camps anybody who supported an independent Ukraine that would exist as a Nazi ally (including Bandera). 

And it wasn't just that way in Ukraine; it was an experience repeated across the Eastern Front.  If they had been willing to indulge the nationalism of various Slavic peoples (even if only as a matter of temporary convenience), it would have been a force multiplier.  But instead, they saw Slavic nationalism as something to be suppressed and ultimately exterminated, which actually ended up diverting forces away from their main objective of defeating the Soviet Union.

Because the Nazis were, and could never be anything other than, Nazis.

This always baffled me about the Germans during WWII.  They had a shit ton of willingly anti-Russian/Soviet Union people in eastern Europe/Russia who would have gladly picked up a rifle and helped them kill Russians.  If they had attacked like liberators and not conquerors, at least in the short term, it could have been a very different outcome.

Believing your own bullshit and "exceptionalism" (as the Germans did) has a hefty price.  Lots of folks should learn from that mistake.

With Molotov-Ribbentrop, the Nazis kind of tipped their hand.  If I was a Ukrainian partisan, I wouldn't see myself as anything other than a pawn, and maybe at first there were enough Ukrainians who thought that like that to render their potential service to the Nazis more trouble than they were worth....It was only when the tide started to turn that the Germans started arming and training them. It's somewhat like the South in the Civil War -- in 1863, General Patrick Cleburne sent out a top secret memo to the top brass proposing arming the slaves and freeing those who fought. Despite his badassery in the field, he could easily have swung from the gallows simply for proposing that idea. It would have defeated the Confederacy's entire purpose and the CSA leadership would have rather seen the entire Confederacy burned to the ground than living alongside their former slaves as putative equals, and so they got their wish. Poor Cleburne, an Irishman, believed all that highfalutin BS about the war being about States Rights, and at any rate, was mown down months later at the head of his men at that stupid and futile charge at the Battle of Franklin.

German war aims were not quite that specific but pretty close and so they wavered on the issue of "Untermenschen" in the Wehrmacht.
