    Remember when gunforge says they have guns to protect them from the military taking their whatever. You are npot even going to get a shot off at your attacked when they have drones.

    Wheeeeeeee! I welcome my new overlords and am thankful for the escape of death.

    I think everyone smells blood in the water. Japan is sabre rattling about the Kurils, Finland wants Karelia back, Georgia wants it's pre 2008 borders back, and I think if enough Tik Tok soldiers get killed in Ukraine, Chechnya could have a problem as well.

    Given that Gerasimov is responsible for the last decade of "reforms" in the Russian military, I'm not sure his arrival in theater to take charge is all that worrisome.

    Putin's calculus might be: I'll send this asshole to straighten out the military forces he's mismanaged into near ineffectiveness and he'll either get some small success out of the shit show that I can sell as a win, or he'll die and I'll hang the whole thing on him.

    Given the recent mortality of Russian generals, I'd advise Gerasimov not to stay in one place very long. :lol:

    That's cute.

    And it would be suicidal if it's anything more than a bluff.

    So they're teaching the Ukrainians not to say "gay" and how to ban books?
