Have a lovely Saturday night.

❗️ 🇷🇺Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Medvedev reported that since January 1, about 280 thousand people have been accepted into the RF Armed Forces as contract soldiers

What is remarkable about the shots of night-time destruction of targets in the Ukrainian port of Reni, Military Chronicle explains

First, the Geran-2 drones are still able to hit targets both in the south and in the central part of Ukraine, and expensive cruise missiles are not needed to destroy them.

Secondly, you can make sure that the accuracy of the defeat increases - the drone flies right into the fuel storage, presumably at the moment of its maximum filling - there are trucks nearby, waiting for refueling with oil products.

Thirdly, the air defense system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is silent - there is no air raid warning, and small arms and anti-aircraft installations are not used against air targets.

"Moped" calmly flies, makes a turn, and swoops down on the target.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that he has dismissed Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.

@squatsons

Usual personnel move after a totally successful offensive.

Yet more evidence that the Russians are doing real-time precision targeting. I wonder about all those hits they manage to suppress the aftermath of.

💢 American Neo-Nazis Prefer Biden - He Backs Ukraine

Christopher Paulhaus, leader of the Blood Tribe group, during the march on Florida:

- Christopher, there's a presidential race going on right now. Are you going to vote in the 2024 election?
- My vote doesn't decide anything, but Biden is better than Trump because he's sending missiles to Ukraine.

Eloquent results of the "counter-offensive" of the AFU in the summer campaign of 2023 in the Zaporizhia direction.

For 3 months, the AFU were able, at the cost of hundreds of armored vehicles and thousands of lives of their soldiers, to advance in 2 sectors for 7-10 km into the depths of the forefield of the first line of defense of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of ​​the villages of Rabotino and Urozhaynoye, without reaching the main fortifications of our troops.

The total territorial acquisitions of the “counter-offensive guard” of the AFU amounted to about 200 km2, or 0.4% of the almost 50,000 km2 controlled by the Russian Armed Forces in the south in Kherson, Zaporizhia and the DPR.

AFU counterattack in obvious zugzwang. Driven forward by Western sponsors, the General Staff of the AFU pushed a large number of troops into the "Rabotinsky meat grinder", which are melting under the blows of the Russian Armed Forces, being shackled by the terrain in the lowland in the area with. Rabotino.

The classic said: "History repeats itself twice - once as a tragedy, the second time as a farce."

And if Bonaparte and von Bock were attracted by warm winter apartments in Moscow, then Zelensky’s wards (the same Bonaparte, but there is a nuance) are waiting for a plowed forest belt in a field or a destroyed cellar in Rabotino. Original msg

Night folks!

Rzeczpospolita: Poland extradites Ukrainian male refugees of draft age.

Poland has begun issuing men of military age to Ukraine, reports Rzeczpospolita .
Immediately after the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, men aged 18 to 60 were banned from leaving the country.

"The Polish authorities have begun extraditing men who left the country to Ukraine," the statement said. The newspaper notes that, in particular, citizens of this country were extradited to Ukraine, who were engaged in transporting illegal migrants from Belarus to the European Union.

Earlier it was reported that, at the direction of Volodymyr Zelensky, all conclusions on unfitness for military service issued by military medical commissions after February 24, 2022 should be checked. Kyiv authorities believe that several thousand men of military age could obtain such certificates and leave the country for bribes ranging from 3 to 15 thousand dollars.
According to the Main Commandant's Office of the Polish Border Service, since February 24 last year, 80,000 Ukrainian men of military age entered Poland and did not leave.

I seem to recall I wrote a Twitter thread on this a while ago and had a lot of Ukraine shills in my replies saying this could and would never ever happen and I was full of it. Color me surprised that I was right again!

Erdogan was in Russia today, trying to talk Putin into another "grain deal." From the looks of it, unsuccessfully. If anything, the original deal was extended for far too long in order to help the Sultan of Ankara get re-elected — at which point he repaid the Kremlin by releasing the Azov Nazis. Judging by the reactions of the Russian public to his visit and proposals, they have not forgotten, or forgiven.

People who talk about "full-scale, all-out invasion" are at best ignorant, at worst totally disingenuous. My feeling here is that Russia has been playing with kid gloves on, being far too nice to both Kiev and its Western patrons, for whatever reason. I've criticized that behavior here, many times, pointing out that it was interpreted as weakness and led the West to double and triple down.

From what's coming out of Moscow now, we may have reached the "no more Mr. Nice Vova" stage. The train took a long time to get going, but it has no brakes.
