And just imagine the 5D lemming flock was quacking that this was either a fake out to lure the Ukrainians into thinking that Wagner had no ammo when they actually had a lot. The point of such a fake out is unclear and its obvious downside of creating tension and distrust towards the authorities doesn't appear to be a good trade off but maybe you need to be an attrition expert to really understand how trade offs work.
Or they say that Prigozhin was just being a dick for demanding more ammo and that Russia could easily do without Wagner but Shoigu and Gerasimov are indispensable assets to the attrition campaign. Now presumably that is a tacit admission that Wagner was indeed receiving insufficient ammo and if Russia cant make ammo rain for whoever wants it than how is the attrition strategy suppose to work? In order to achieve the golden ratio of 100.99 Ukrainian dead for every 1 Russian you actually need overwhelming advantage in munitions dont you?
If this keeps up Im predicting the 5D special education entrail readers will be calling for Prigozhin to be replaced with someone "acceptable to the Kremlin" just like they were with Lukashencko. This drama totally deflates any claims that all is well because its literally either "nah the Kremlin was doing a 5D fake out by totally discrediting itself in the eyes of people at the front" which implies retards in the Kremlin or "Prigozhin is out of control for publicly demanding more ammo" which implies there isn't a ton of ammo and therefore how does this attrition thing work exactly?
As long as I have more luck than you avoiding deportation I can afford the 40 dollars a year.
These people who consider the Duran, MacGregor and Martyanov legit alternative news remind me of boomers who will unironically say that if you want the real news you need to watch the BBC.
Really wish there was way to get the thoughts of Russian nationalist and patriots to more people in the English speaking world. If i had more time, resources and know how I would be really tempted to start doing translations myself. Strelkovs interviews would be really eye opening for people because his position of being extremely critical of Moscow, against revolution or overthrowing Putin, he in fact says he wants to avoid that, pessimistic but stoically resigned to the struggle is very, very common with the Russian patriotic crowd. Even people that don't like Strelkov such as Khodakovsky have that kind of baseline.
Like its true that almost nobody wants Putin overthrown in Russia hence his ratings are alright but that isnt because they love Shoigu and Nabiullina and they really care about Sberbanks stock value. Its because they correctly suspect that post Putin Putins own buddies will have more power.
Its like despite Russias popularity with your anti globalist and American right wingers nobody actually knows anything about what Russians actually think.
I got a good laugh at the 5D special education entrails readers too. I spent the first year listening to the Duran every day because I did not know about this newsletter. It has really opened my eyes to a fuller appreciation of the complexities. Now I wonder how the 5D journalists can ignore other perspectives since I do believe them to be sincerely pro-Russian.
I applaud Prigozhin’s out of the box thinking and willingness to take risks to save his men. Showing picture of dead men is not considered Kosher. But had powerful shock value.
Having Prigozhin complaining in a theatrical manner about lack of shells procurements from Russian authorities could perfectly have been a trap to bait Ukrainians into thinking the Russian side is currently weak: it lacks shells to feed its biggest strength which is artillery.
Let's note that Wagner units were cleared from the Kostantinivka-Bakhmut road immediately after Prigozhin media exploits.
Let's make assumptions: could be Prigozhin was complaining because he felt Wagner was vulnerable to a counterattack at that point in time. Or vice versa, it could be the AFU was emboldened to attack by the show of weakness Prigozhin made by publicly complaining. Chicken or egg situation.
In the prospect of an impending huge mythical Russian Winter Offensive, the ploy would have served well to get the AFU complacent with underestimating the state of the enemy's assets. And thus the much vaunted attack on all lines would have caught them less prepared than they ought to have been.
I mean, this kind of thespian trickeries happen all the time. I personally believe, for instance, that it might be that Joe Biden is actually grossly accentuating his senile condition. He'd do that for the sake of plausible denial of responsibility, in case his brother or his son get caught in flagrance while pursuing one of their schemes of peddling influence with oligarchs in Ukraine and China. These Oligarchs are shown classified US intelligence information that an absent-minded Joe Biden apparently leaves around in plain view at his place. Then, they are offered an opportunity to be introduced to the Big Guy himself. All of this at a hefty price pocketed by Biden's relatives.

I just read an incredible twitter thread that alleged that the ammo thing was a 5D fake out against Ukraine.
Sources?
The Duran.
Btw, you're a good commenter, do you want a paid sub?

I come for the columns and stay for the comments. Rolo challenges many sacred cows. It is a good thing.
"5D special education entrail readers" Ha ha!
