    They say defeat is an orphan.
    There are “indications” that Russian officers at various levels of command have been relieved of their duties, the Pentagon said Thursday, as logistical and command headaches for Russia continue across battlefields in Ukraine.

    A senior U.S. defense official did not specify the number of Russian commanders dismissed since the invasion began or what their responsibilities were, adding that it was unclear whether any of them were senior-level officers. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Pentagon.

    The British Defense Ministry said Thursday that some of the commanders were senior and fired over poor performance in the early stages of the invasion, during which Moscow abandoned its thunder run toward Kyiv and shifted focus to the eastern Donbas region. The east plays to Russia’s numerical strength and equipment advantage over large and rural areas.

    One lieutenant general who oversaw a tank division was relieved for the failure to seize Kharkiv, the British Defense Ministry said, and a vice admiral appeared to have been suspended over the sinking of the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. A “culture of cover ups and scapegoating” may further exacerbate Russia’s sustained performance issues, the ministry said, as officers may seek to avoid accountability and defer decisions to superiors, adding more bureaucracy to the already top-down Russian military.

    These pigs have everything - a shower, a flush toilet, a great menu, soothing music.

    But all the same, these are cattle in the full power of the Master.
    Do you want to take their place?

    Terminator tanks are coming. Russians are deploying them to Ukraine.
    Finally we will see these "monsters" at work: let's see if they are so unstoppable and invincible as they look.

    In the meanwhile US have announced that they are going to supply to Ukrainians long range anti-ship missiles to break the Russian blockade of Odessa.

    It seems that finally we entering in a serious phase ...

    I’m sure that pigs that are washed and are properly cared for are happier than the pigs that sit in similar stalls in Russia, but are standing in their own excrement.
    Being in Russia makes you more of a cattle than anywhere in the west. ;)

    Washington's strategy is clear. In a conventional non-nuclear war between NATO and Russia, drain Russia's resources and cause a revolution. The US is lucky to have a lot of dumb Ukrainians to attend this event.

    The Russians will not be slaughtered at the request of the Big Farmer from Washington.
    What you said about the toilets was stupid. In the US and Europe, too, not all toilets are connected to the central sewer.

    You can have a functional toilet that is not connected to central sewer. Ever heard of septic tanks? ;)
    Your poorest landowners can’t even poop with comfort and dignity. And you call others cattle.

    1700+ rats have come out of the Azovstal cellar so far. It's thought there may be several hundred more still to go.

    They were not defeated. They surrendered on orders from their commander in chief, the president of Ukraine. ;)

    If Russia is gone and Washington gains absolute world domination, then you personally are not guaranteed not only a toilet, but life itself. You will be glad to empty yourself under a bush, but even this you may not have. No one gives any guarantees to their livestock.

    Like that's some kind of win LOL.

    FYI, you don't surrender unless you have been defeated.

    German Reuters exclusive [now it's no more exclusive].
    The article mentions BA.N, KOG.OL, RTX.N.
    https://www.reuters.com/world/exclu...-anti-ship-missiles-fight-russian-2022-05-19/

    And Ukraine has asked to Portugal to supply Harpoon missiles. But from shore?
    I tend to agree that the Harpoon would be difficult to use from shore.

    It can be fired from coastal batteries with a solid-fuel rocket booster.
    The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile developed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security). The AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM) and later AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile - Expanded Response) are cruise missile variants. Harpoon.

    It really does. Americans and other westerners are free individuals who pursue their own interests, while Russians are part of a fascist state collective with each individual living to support and serve the state. They don't even have a right to free speech and freedom of expression, those poor Russian sheep.

    Russians will treat them (on the dime of Russian taxpayers) and release them to Ukraine. There is a good reason for that - Ukraine has captured a lot of Russian troops. Whatever happens to Azov troops will happen to Russian troops. ;)

    Ukrainians were comfortable as long as hatred of the Russians gave them money and conveniences.
    Today, hatred of Russians brings poverty and death. A lot of Ukrainians ask themselves the question - why do I need this?

    First 6 minutes of pointing out the ignorance of Americans. Appalled when a Neo-Nazi kills 10 in Buffalo shooting.....doesn't say jackshit when they find out he is an AZOV Nazi fan boy. Americans = don't support American Nazis; support Ukrainian Nazis with $53+ Billion

    Propaganda.
    The signs are not the same and the wearers of these signs deny connection to nazism. If they were Nazis and went as far as wear identification marks, wouldn’t they be open about it?

    You want to see a real neo-nazi who has a legitimate government position? Look no further than the head of Roskosmos:
