Some real close combat footage here, two Russians get dropped at close range. Also someone in the comments pointed out this looks a lot like another video from a Russian drone released a few days ago - crazy if true.

More and more Russian officials are urging Vladimir Putin to get the hell out of the Kremlin as Moscow suffered another series of humiliating defeats in Ukraine this weekend.

Just one day after several municipal deputies in Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg called on the State Duma to try the Russian leader for treason, their colleagues in Moscow joined in and demanded he step down because his views are “hopelessly outdated.”

 

Quote

The open letter to Putin from municipal deputies in the Russian capital’s Lomonosovsky district started out by seemingly trying to let him down gently, telling him he had “good reforms” in his first term and part of his second.

But then, “everything went wrong,” the deputies said.

“The rhetoric that you and your subordinates use has been riddled with intolerance and aggression for a long time, which in the end effectively threw our country back into the Cold War era. Russia has again begun to be feared and hated, we are once again threatening the whole world with nuclear weapons,” the letter read.

 

Quote

Even the pro-Kremlin Telegram channels run by Russian military bloggers had a dramatic change of tune as Ukraine claimed new wins Saturday: They began to openly blast military leadership—and Putin personally—for the embarrassing failures.

“Stalin, as much of a vampire as he was, never stooped to this and said how we lost nothing and there are no problems,” wrote one pro-Kremlin blogger. “For him, those who cowardly run away and ‘withdraw troops’ were the alarmists.”

Also reports of no water in Kharkiv. It’s notable that Russia is punishing people in areas that a few days ago were allegedly completely pro-Russian.  And this should be seen as Russia punishing people, they should be using their Kalibr missiles on more valuable targets than civilian infrastructure.

Gelendzhik, PEC 901. The deputy chairman of the commission prepared ballots for United Russia for stuffing, and when she was caught, she sat down on the documents and refused to get up.

When, with the help of a policeman, the woman was nevertheless lifted up, she began to accuse those around her of planting ballots for her.

[MillerEP 30,454]

❗ The Gelendzhik City Court ruled to remove observer Tatyana Mamentyeva from the polling station, who found ballot papers marked for "EdRo" under the booty of the deputy chairman of the election commission.

The one who exposed the crime is punished, not the one who committed it.

I understand the sentiment in both of these, but they also sound like the same lack of respect for the Ukranian forces that got Russia where they are in Ukraine.  Easy victories come from knowing your enemy's strengths and weaknesses and assuming that they will use them competently. 

I first heard this applied to baseball, but it applies in all of life: You are never as good as you think you are when you are winning, and you are never as bad as you think you are when you are losing.  That also applies to your enemies.

Which is why I'm 1000% behind Ukraine in this conflict. As long as they are willing to fight then I'm pushing for the best terms because you never know when an adversary will be this weak or stupid again. There might not be a better opportunity to recover their territorial integrity. Plus a victory demonstrates demonstrates precisely why authoritarian regimes are so toxic.

If RF was content with being a major petro state working as an European peer that would be perfectly fine. Even if there was major corruption and significant kleptokracy but kept their stink within their borders then we could stomach that arrangement. But as soon as Putin started pushing some revanchist fantasy and supported by some ethno-natonalist ideology then that is a clear threat to other nation's self-determination.

The Russian Army Is Losing A Battalion Every Day As Ukrainian Counterattacks Accelerate

David Axe

Forbes 

These losses are catastrophic for Russia. The Russian army barely was sustaining a little over 100 under-strength battalions in Ukraine before Kyiv’s forces counterattacked in the south on Aug. 30 and in the east eight days later.

In just under two weeks of brutal fighting, the Ukrainians have destroyed, badly damaged or captured 1,200 Russian tanks, fighting vehicles, trucks, helicopters, warplanes and drones, according to the Ukrainian general staff. Independent analysts scouring social media for photos and videos have confirmed nearly 400 of the Russian losses.

 

Around 5,500 Russian troops have died in Ukraine since Aug. 29, according to Ukrainian officials. It’s possible the Ukrainians are overstating the death toll, but it’s worth noting that recent U.S. estimates of Russian losses have been only slightly lower than Ukrainian estimates.

To put these numbers into perspective, Russian losses in Ukraine have swelled by a tenth in around 10 days—in a war that’s 200 days old. The rate of Russian casualties and vehicle write-offs doubled then tripled as the Ukrainians launched their counterattacks.

Worse for the Russians, in their faltering defense of the south—and total rout in the east—they’ve failed to inflict heavy losses on the attacking Ukrainian brigades. Rough estimates have the Ukrainians losing one-tenth as many troops and vehicles since Aug. 30.

 

Worse still, captures account for half the Russian vehicle losses. The Ukrainian army in just the last week and a half has seized enough Russian tanks, fighting vehicles and artillery to equip an entire brigade. In other words, the Ukrainian army actually has more vehicles now than it did before launching its counteroffensives.

So I mentioned this earlier, but looking at the video and photos of a lot of these Ukrainian units, they are incredibly well-organized, well-equipped, and well-fed.  There can be differences in weapons between different types of units obviously, but they look extremely cohesive, as if they are getting uniforms, equipment, etc, from the West.  Makes me wonder if these are some of the folks that were being trained in Western Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe.

The Russians look like shit, like they’ve been living in the same uniforms for months

Everybody in this thread should watch that clip above that Julia Davis released a few hours ago.

Some serious self-awareness of how shitty things are going for Russia, but also some amazing denial, reached levels of Baghdad Bob.

Towarss the end , one of the commentators is arguing over how long this is going to take, and asking if his 10 year old kids will eventually be able to fight.  

edit: Also setting up that Putin was lied to, and that’s why they have lost.

Yes. There are some weird dudes, that somehow expanded their Trump-love (no CR) to Putin-love, and are all bought in on the RT line. They are a small minority (who are these guys? I wonder- are these the old men who married mail order Russian brides years ago?), but they seek out lightly trafficked boards, and try to flood it with masses of RT stories and videos. 
 
Hornfans (under new management) is one such site. There are about two guys posting the RT stuff, and a handful that try to debate them honestly (RT advocates main retorts- “sure, if you believe what you see in the msm that has been lying all these years”, “how do you know Ukraine didn’t kill those people/drop those bombs”, and “you think Ukraine is telling an unbiased story?”). Their tactic is to not engage factual counter-arguments and to drop more messages  

 It is awful, and sometimes, frankly, evil, because these are real events and untold horrors are being visited upon innocents, by Russians, at Putin’s direction. It’s as if they are counting on people to not think about what they are doing (the tortures, the forced migrations, the splitting of families, the rapes and mass murders), just because the actions are unthinkable.

So I’ve got a question they I haven’t seen a legit answer to.

The NATO members supplying support to the UKA all refuse to allow those weapons to be used to hit targets within Russia. Once this moves from a police action to instead a full scale war with Russia moving to full mobilization internally, does that take the gloves off the use of these weapons?

 

With how close Bolgorodo and Valukyi are to the border, both of those should get flattened by HIMARS as soon as Putin declares it an official war. Then start the advance with one brigade to see how far they could push into Russia, purely for the political shock and awe it would have.

I suspect that if UF continues to demonstrate a high level of professionalism and keeps current operations on military only targets then those concerns are loosened. I bet the initial concern was that Ukraine would get petty and start targeting civilians, any type of soft target.

Given that this is the state media that all Russians have access to, it had to be really jarring when the guy was asking how long it would last, and if his 10 year old kids would get to fight in it, if it went on for years.

It’s interesting the narratives coming out - “why can’t we be friends” and “this went wrong because people lied to Putin about how it would go”.

They will go, we liberated the nazis in the areas and Ukraine can have the land back. We cleaned it up and it’s not a threat to Russia anymore.
