Quote from: Tripoli on May 05, 2023, 03:40:28 PMJust a thought, but could he be negotiating for a higher contract price rather than pull his troops off the line before an expected Ukrainian offensive?

That's not at all out of the realm of possibility.  It's my line of thinking as well.

However, another part is I don't think he wants his men in front of the Counteroffensive.

No money in it.

Also I have read that the UAF is specifically targeting Wagner supply areas...

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

I don't think he cares much about his men.  Also, there can't be too many left.  I've read reports that from all his 'recruits' (prisoners, ..) most are already casualties.

I guess he understands he can't win anymore so he looks for others to pin the blame.

Oh, I don't either. 

He doesn't want to be in front of it because he's using this as political capital.

Imagine it like playing a pick up basketball game, getting 2 points up and then calling it.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I would think throwing the rubble would be more accurate and effective.  Although throwing defective equipment might be more satisfying.

So they think they need to go 'all the way to Lisbon.'  :ROFL:

You can almost smell the fear and desperation with some of these guys.

In the 40s, Russian soldiers were reported to have advanced on German positions sometimes carrying rifles, and sometimes only carrying bricks and clubs.

In the 2020s, Russians soldiers advance on Ukrainian positions carrying clubs that have fins, guidance systems, inert propellant, and warheads capable of delivering a superheated plasma jet when functioning correctly. 

Thousands of dollars clearly went to line the pockets of one aristocrat or another to produce such an expensive club for the Russian army.

You remember those Russian hypersonic missiles that can't be brought down ?

Well it looks like a Patriot missile just did it.

Ukraine on Saturday said it had used the U.S.-made Patriot air defense system to shoot down a Russian hypersonic missile in the skies over the Kyiv capital region — demonstrating that it now has the ability to thwart one of Moscow's most-feared weapons.

The destruction of the missile, reported to be a Kh-47 fired by a Russian MiG-31K fighter jet, demonstrated the potentially game-changing role of the Patriot system, which costs roughly $1 billion per installation.
