Guest Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Digital conscription introduced now in Russia.

This opinion makes a plausible prediction, that this profile of leaker is likely to become more common. The Washington Post article he links to is maybe worth a read too, it describes the Discord "family" that the leaker had created. https://foreverwars.ghost.io/the-chud-era-of-national-security-leaks/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 There is some fascinating stuff in the Discord leaks. This today on the severe depletion of Russian special forces in the war - some units have suffered 90% attrition. This will have a big impact not only in the war in Ukraine but on Russian ability to project force abroad for many years. Also, there are reports that Serbia has been covertly supplying Ukraine with weapons, which the Serb government have denied. Serbia has a significant pro-Russian section of its population, including far-right and ultranationalist groups. It also has, IIRC, quite a large defence industry, a legacy of the wars and sanctions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Only published a month ago so fully up to date and relevant. Gives insight into your average Serb's grievances, the political jockeying of the Serb government regarding EU-Russia relations, as well as Russia's shit-stirring in Serbia including alleged Wagner influence. All of which makes today's leak, the claim Serbia agreed to covertly sell weapons to Ukraine, such a surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money talks, bullshit walks…the money is on the NATO/Ukraine side, the “thoughts and prayers” (TM Republican Party) are on the Russian side. It’s nice to get gas, a few supplies and a little cash (only usable in the Russian sphere of influence)…it’s nicer to get cold cash that can be used for real goods, equipment, and more gas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll continue that for any subsequent Kosovo war replies.

I didn't like the Kosovo War diversion I contributed to but I was responding to replies each time. I bother with replies because I'd rather have my comments corrected than potentially misinform with them if I've got things wrong. That Strichener is feigning the concerned onlooker thing. He's in the huff with me due to disagreement in a different thread so jumped in here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
