Denis Pushilin...

Yep, same Denis Pushilin that gave the award to the Russian soldier wearing the neo-nazi emblems, and after that incident signed a decree conferring the title of "Hero of the Donetsk People's Republic, posthumously to the neo Nazi Russian warlord Vladimir Zhoga.



Zhoga headed the Russian neo-Nazi "Sparta Battalion". (For those of you not caught up in the spell and keeping track at home... Sparta Battalion, Task Force Rusich, Wagner Group - neo Nazis. You all seriously didn't think they all just disappeared, after Rogozin got invited into the Oligarch fold with his cush gig and graft at Roscosmos - did ya?)

Here's where it all gets fun. Zhoga took over as head of "Sparta Battalion" after "Motorola" (Arsen Pavlov) lost his head in a carefully staged explosion in his apartment buildings elevator. Girkin, (the previous unofficial Minister of Defense for Donetsk and the guy that claims to have called in the Russians) swears it was Russian GRU that set off the bomb.



(Girkin left, Motorola right)

Here we go back in the time machine to 2014. Motorola claims to have control of the Donetsk Airport, but as you can see is many miles away calling in artillery strikes on the Ukraine forces holding the airport. In fact, it will take them until mid January 2015, to totally destroy the airport and push Ukraine Gov't forces out of the facility.



Jump to 4:50 to see where the Russian forces are and listen as Motorola calls in the strikes.

It's been an interesting group to get to know - that much is for sure. It's like they can't even imagine the possibility the people of Ukraine don't want to be taken over by Russian neo Nazis or have one of Putin's picks installed as a proxy dictator.



As of today, it's estimated that 14 million people have been displaced from Ukraine by Putin's war.

Only 2 million Ukrainians need to be destroyed in theory. Only 2 million, in theory. And if the west doesn't get out of the way it's only 4 missiles.

No one blinked, laughed or mocked...

These people are insane.

Sounds like a lot of Ukraine will be up for grabs, after Russians are done with it.

Naw, I'm sure Russia (post Putin...soon) will be broken up again before Ukraine.

Sometimes Pravda isn't the best and most reliable news source. Just saying ...

Can't get there soon enough, but at least they are going there.

On a side note, I came across this interesting article on Wikipedia that one could infer to suggest there are good peaceful Russians working on the home front:

(Not to say I don't see peaceful Russians everyday. I do, but they're usually hard to look at - if you catch my drift.)

BREAKING CONFIRMED: Putin Cancer,

[Silverstarqueen]

If they don't even know what kind of cancer Putin hypothetically has, I would not put much stock in this speculation.

[seewood]

Regardless if the madman has cancer and spends less time in the Russian lime-lite, there appears to be enough phsycos in his cabinet to carry on the slaughter of innocents.

"Ukraine claims..."

That's right. Russia clarified the situation. Maj. Gen. Andrei Simonov, senior commander of electronic warfare, successfully intercepted a Ukrainian bullet. It's also rumoured that Valery Gerasimov, the Russian army's chief of staff, was sent to Izyum to bring Putin a victory for the May 9th parade.

He decided to bring back a piece of shrapnel instead.

"Everything is proceeding as planned".

Just a follow up... 30 days later and where is Valery Gerasimov?

A few different rumours continue to float around, namely demoted and dismissed, or injured and still recovering. There are scattered and unconfirmed reports of him being alive and well. Apparently he appeared briefly in a Kremlin broadcast about a week ago and Reuters reports he spoke to a US General on the 17th of May. The pictures that are out there show he has lost some weight, but that's about it.

Still, the internet is having fun with the report of him being wounded...





¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Day 101 of the 3 day special military operation. I still don't see Ukrainians flooding the streets to welcome the liberators. In fact, all I really did see of note today, was a train load of 55 year old tanks (that reportedly were sold to Libya and Syria) heading towards Ukraine.

There's no question the Russians have made some inroads. At this rate, it will only take another year or so to take over Ukraine. I'm still missing the logic on why the West can't help out more in a country which is being brutally attacked and asking for all help available. There's been war crimes aplenty, so if that was what they needed, the evidence is there is spades (pardon the pun). I see justification for clobbering every Russian piece of equipment and invader on the spot, they should have never let them in in the first place. Maybe the strategy was to let the Russians in in droves, so they could take out more of the garbage, instead of just getting the first advance.
Even UKrainians of Russian background now are taking up arms against the Russians knowing they will be anihilated along with everyone else if they don't.

There is a semi rhetorical question in your post that was answered incorrectly I believe.
