Where do you see that he is far-right? Judging by his political positions he seems to be a liberal.

The party he was in was both Liberal and Eurocentric, he however was caught attending a far-right music festival, which was close enough for his party to throw him out of office after 5 months.

Ironically, @DioEmsti is happy to describe Trump as "talking some common sense", despite the fact that Trump has attended multiple far-right events (his own), is actively supported by the far-right/Nazis, attempted to overthrow a democratic election, and is by all measures an authoritarian, nationalist and fascist.
 
German media is reporting that Kadirov is absolutely furious and in a complete rage that those idiots got killed.

Have fun with the logistics of half of your army using NATO ammunition and the rest using Russian stuff.

To use even 1% they need to trophy something at first. Which isn't realistic at this point.

Instead of leaving Kherson and regroup in more vital parts of front, RF keep throwing its reserves into trap. I dont think Ukraine really want to siege Kherson - just cut Kahovskaya dam and see how our forces here bleeding to death. After cutting RF from dam they start assault in Zaporozhye, IMO. Z channels reporting about massive Ukrainian troops here for few months and we don't see anything in that part of frontline.

Kadirov idiots constantly got themselves killed due to their videos which gave away their positions.

Thats why the Ukrainians are highly encouraging everybody to protect their opsec.

He attended the concert to give a speech to veterans, together with the minister for the occupied areas. Bad thing to do? Yes. Does it mean that he is far-right? No.

I mean, he may be, but that one controversy is the only link to far-right groups that I can find in his resume so there’s not very strong evidence for it.

According to Wikipedia, his government had to go because Zelensky was not happy with the slow pace of reforms. There seem to have been a disagreement between them about the economy as well.

I agree it's not proof he was far right, but I'm not the one making that argument.

It was however 100% enough to force a resignation, and a tenuous link that @DioEmsti is clinging to.

Regular Chechens as in regular Chechen troops or as in civilians?

There are "elite" squad of tiktok warriors from Kadirov personal guard and regular Chechens. Both de jure members of Rosgvardia. Rule of dumb, if Chechens were killed near frontline - its regular Chechens, not tiktok warriors.
 
OMG the strike killed 40 and 100 are missing 😲

In telegram they took vidoes of the building this allowed Ukraine to pick up the location and strike.

Putin's relatives 'fear for his health amid constant coughing and weight loss and fear elites will turn on him'

Vladimir Putin is having coughing fits, has constant nausea and a loss of appetite and his relatives are worried, it has been claimed.

Putin's health problems.

If Putin dies, does that make things better or worse for Ukraine? As much as Putin is ****ing terrible, I don't know who his successor would be and I don't trust that it wouldn't somehow be someone worse.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundaries shift, new players step in; but power always finds a place to rest its head. We fought and bled alongside the Russians; we should've known they’d hate us for it. History is written by the victor, and here I am, thinking we'd won. But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace him. Locations change, the rationale, the objective. Yesterday's enemies are today’s recruits. Train them to fight alongside you and pray they don’t eventually decide to hate you for it, too.

Anyone else from current high ranks would stop it immediately.

Even assuming that's true, doing a quick reversal on such a major policy would be at best destabilising for the government.

Look at the US and what happened when Biden won - there were riots trying to overthrow the government and they weren't really that far away from politicians being killed. Is there a minority of Putin supporters that would use such an event to start similar civil violence? Are there going to be a bunch of politicians fighting over power and destabilising the country further? Are other powers going to see this as an opportunity to strike Russia while it's weakened?

Even if Putin disappears tomorrow, that's only one problem down. The world is in this so deep now that there's a lot of ways it gets worse before it gets better even with no Putin involved.
 
funny thing. This is weather for upcoming weekend in poland.

I can't see anything wrong with destabilisation of Russian government. Current oppressive regime cant transform into something democratic without major destabilisation. Its already failed state with lost monopoly on violence and bunch of non constitutional laws.
 
In today's warning from page 672 of Russia's Big Book for Totally Serious Warnings:

www.reuters.com

Russia warns West: We can target your commercial satellites

A senior Russian foreign ministry official said that commercial satellites from the United States and its allies could become legitimate targets for Russia if they were involved in the war in Ukraine.
www.reuters.com www.reuters.com

Ya, I can target them too. Hitting them is another story.

Also, why would you attempt to shoot down Starlink satellites? There are so many of them that it would be incredibly resource-intensive to blow them out of the sky, especially given the inability of Russia to hit meaningful targets.
 
Isn't that exactly what thousands of military-age Russian men are already attempting? ;)

They'll probably have to hand in their rifles at border control though.
