Rolo needs to grab Marko and threaten him with court-martial if he doesn't return to our common fight by the end of the month.

I am new to this blog. Who was Marko? Was he an early pessimist?

Make Marko read this, maybe it makes him consider his return to the frontline.

Marko Marjanović was/is the editor of Anti-Empire. I discovered the "triad" Marko, Slavsquat, Rolo, through the comments section of the Unz Review, by the time when the "triad" had a great podcast called the Worst Of All Worlds.

Thank you for the reply friends. I am curious to see if his writing still exists and eager to see what he had to say.

Viva pepe. "Conquering" him is like some kind of landing in NormanD (5D's land).

The smartest of them all was The Faker, who sensed defeat ahead, so he went MIA to avoid getting caught.

So the right way is slice through NormanD, and make no prisoners.

At least we can get a consolation prize by defeating the 5D crowd among all this debacle of Rússia.

What advice you'd give to Russians still living in Russia?

Learn english, burn their passports and flee?They poured so much egg's (hopes) in Putin's nest now their future is bleak... that's the tragic destiny of Russia, depending too much on a single "person" throughout it's history...

That's were I diverge from the analysis on the pluses of authocracies versus the anglo system...

For best or worse the West still reigns supreme over the world and I don't see them losing their power soon...

Join Elon Musk, elect him as their czar and colonize Mars, because on Earth it looks they won't have a chance as things are going.

An example, in 2001 Musk knocked on Russian doors to buy a rocket to get to Mars, they scoffed at him for that. His vengeance was the total destruction of Russian rocket industry. He is indeed a dark clown.

round about 59:00 where you're saying 'nothing changed' (but suddenly we have to attack) you might note you follow that by saying 'we did nothing' while Kiev did heaps, right? Well that's what 'changed' : suddenly they became aware. Awareness. Suddenly waking up. That'd explain it wouldn't it?

where's the first 13 questions?

Apart from the shocking deficiencies in the russian military that you've found isn't there something to be said about the changed method of warfare we have now?

I mean the Russian machine - any machine, American, NATO, Kiev - cannot fight 'as normal' now can they?

A new way has to be found.

Maybe this glacial slowness of the Russian machine has something to do with that? Just maybe?

Now you need air control with drones - not even desirable to have aircraft - what for, what can they do?

Which means many skilled operators.

And systems in place to synchronise artillery, rockets, etc with the drone info.

I fantasize, to keep my spirits up. that the Allied military is putting together a new modus operandi that they'll suddenly unveil and do that thing you point to that they should have done a year ago and which is the greatest single condemnation of the whole thing: clear the Donbas, rid Donetsk of being shelled.
