If anywhere near this figure its sadly quite amazing, if the Russian people actually knew the truth of the deaths they’d question at the very least the stupidity of this war.

Ah yes, this is what he meant by purify, Stalin all over again.  
You’d have thought they would have learnt their history before applying, I’ve read though revisionist history in Russia now denies or lessens Stalin’s atrocities to his own people.

I don’t know, 20? Very senior rank and they’re going to the front line as they’re moving so slow, this is turn makes them very vulnerable, also they’re using (again this is the media so believe it or not but it rings true) analogue phones as their ERA systems won’t work as they’ve blown up all the 3/4g masts.  
If it wasn’t so sad and serious it would be a comedy, running out of fuel, being towed by tractors, getting lost and using sim cards bought to relay messages.

Being a general in the Russian army has become a hazardous career choice

Major general and below, you are at risk from Ukrainian snipers

Anything above you are scapegoat material

I’m sure they’ll get by without machines as a networked service.

I know I have. Fuck the cloud.

The Cloud is a trap, even if you’re not invading someone.

There will come a day when the service providers push prices up and threaten to take it all away, and those knee deep in it will just have to pay.
