Sounds like he's admitting that the RF is in fact a protection racket.

Russian war propaganda, send your grandson to war and you'll get sausage (apparently the grandson is returning home as minced meat). As a binus you'll get to keep your Lada. Oh joy!

And these folks are saying the west is on the verge of beginning to use rationing coupons.

I really don't believe the decision makers - Scholz and Lambrecht, both SPD - will have ever taken the slightest notice of such plebeian matters as performance, availability of weapons systems. Their decisions are purely political and thus not tainted by such foolishness.

I read a number of posts but saw nothing that explained the references to Amnesty. Can anyone enlighten me/give a link ?

That is truly amazing - it really seems back on the levels of something you might expect in the 40's or 50's. In a backhand way it makes it clear to me - in a way that wasn't there before - that the people directing the war from the NATO side really do need to understand that they/we aren't fighting people like us and need to prosecute the war in a different way than what will have been taught in Western war academies.

it's a reference to an amnesty report in August where they stated that "“Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians.”
by placing military installments close to civilian infrastructure and that Ukrainian military should somehow protect populated areas from afar.

the entire report was fuel for Russian propaganda.

More war propaganda, go to war and you'll shake the debt collecting goons. And a nagging wife.
Interesting part is that this video really shows them as mafia stereotypes in black leather jackets and threatening to break his arm. Not your regular bank officials... Is Russian Federation paying gaming debts as well? Go and die for motherland and your bookie gets paid. Your mom gets a soft(ish) towel for her loss.

Apparently a red on red incident. How sad. Especially as that is very identifiable and Ukraine doesn't have any. Apparently pilots made it though, but ejection seats weren't used. Or... they tried to but the seats were U/S, as has been reported earlier in some instances.

In view of the current tensions with Moldovda, what prevemts them from inviting a NATO force to sit on their border ? Acceptance of this is, is not guaranteed , of course.

While it was indeed used for propaganda purposes by the Russians, I don't recall any criticisms that it was factually incorrect.

Comments in the threat explain what's going on.

The takes outs for me, unlimited budget from the army, specifically “the country and the government are providing everything that the army asks for”
Secondly going from 700 000 proffessional soldiers to 1.5 million
and the thing that nobody seems to understand why. conscription going from 18-27 to 21 - 30. Maybe the large number that fled might be an acutal issue

Then there minor stuff like 2 extra VDV divisions, 3 new divisions of occupied territiories, plus about a 12 brigades (mostly coastal defence)are being upgraded to divisions

If it still has it's rotors doesn't that mean an ejection wasn't attempted? I thought the blades blow off then you bang out?

Seems like an accurate summary of current Russian military capability and intent

Excerpt they don't pay the debt, they only provide a debt 'holiday'. After (if) you get back you still owe the money. What a bizarre piece of propaganda.

unless the sequence for ejection malfunctioned. Then the blades wouldn't blow away either.

Yes, but you might come back with enough washing machines, refrigerators, TVs or whatever to sell and settle the debt.

If you come back at all.
