Bit of a dive into the Patriot from the WSJ

U.S. Patriot Missile Is an Unsung Hero of Ukraine War

Was watching a news report two weeks ago (60 minutes?) and they interviewed a very famous Ukrainian news person who works from Kiev. She said her own mother in Russia believes the Putin propaganda and thinks this whole war is a Ukrainian Nazi campaign. It’s amazing how successful propaganda can be. 

Propaganda works because of the need for social acceptance in the community and even if that creates a cognitive dissonance situation within the individual.   We have people who think an insurrection attempt from a few years ago was totally normal because their political views were aligned.  They cannot fathom that they are the baddies or that they are aligned with the baddies so they just make shit up or deny reality to make it all work.

That guy has a death sentence over his head though - he was Wagner, and Wagner will kill POWs who surrender, especially those who were convicts.

So?  

My point was, at that moment, that dude didnt just "happen" to be in the front of that bus, and refuse to go back to Russia, while being filmed.

He had already made the commitment to stay back earlier and was placed on that bus to provide theater.  Specifically to be filmed saying he wouldnt return and to make the rest of the Russians in the bus think "well that dude just decided to go fight for Ukraine, maybe I should as well"

Difficult to verify any of this, but it's not hard to believe

I was wandering around, lost in Moscow, when these handsome and friendly guys helped me find the kremlin and also gave me a pack of cigarettes!  Once inside, the Russians were so inviting they gave me a Russian passport!  And then a mobilization letter!  Whoop!

I grew up in a NATO family but I will definitely be sending my son to the Donbas trenches in ‘28!

There's is no chance that's not a parody.  "Our undefeated Russian Navy" against a visual of the Moskva?  No--that's where it lost me.

Plenty of people in this country fall for blatant propaganda and in fact will die on those hills despite no real supporting evidence, and often significant evidence to the contrary staring them in the face.

Not at all hard to believe you can get 75% of a country in line when you’ve systemically dismantled political opposition and independent media over decades.

I bet that everybody on the bus was a Russian Liberation type of guy pretending to be prisoners, that they selected the "Wagner" actor because he was young and less-alcoholic looking, and that Denis' speech took several takes to get right.

Yeah, the Turks killing and wounding Russian soldiers in Syria is going to go over well with the Russian state media.  And the Turkish state media.

Meanwhile, in Russia

If that's true, and I'm having a hard time believing it, but if the Russian Army is going into "shoot-to-kill" mode when encountering Wagner, well they know Wagner is armed, right?

This is fucking insane.

I'll believe it when Prigozhin is dead.

I can't wrap my head around that.

Here's some nightmare fuel for those who fear the evil Nazi dead:

I don't know what's creepier: the skull still wearing his Stahlhelm, or the fact that people have been drinking water from the reservoir for 70 years.

[SL Xpress 7518]

Here's a really good video of an assault in the direction of Bakhmut. I only know this because it's the 3rd Separate Assault brigade and that's where they're operating. These are generally very experienced fighters working with older kit.

Russian. They don't have the green tape on their helmets and arms like the ukes do.
