Very interesting about the memo. But is there any actual indication that it came from the MOD and was circulated in the military – or is it just something circulated online in Russia?

And as for the evacuation of Kherson – it does sound bad given what’s happened before. I’ve heard it said that Putin is capable of doing anything to try and lose the war. But the Duran suggested some time ago that Russia may be intending to destroy the bridges across the Dnieper – some of which cross dams. This would make a lot of military sense as it would make it very difficult for the Ukies to supply their troops in eastern Ukraine. It’s actually difficult to understand why this hasn’t been done already. However, destroying these dams would likely produce flooding downstream sweeping away pontoon bridges and making supply to the Russian held West bank difficult, at least until water levels stabilized and pontoon bridges could be rebuilt. This might justify a full withdrawal back to the East bank or might justify just withdrawing civilians so all supply could go to the military.

I think Blackmail Inc is playing an unseen role in all this. We know there are multiple networks that blackmail and compromise many people in the highest ranks of government and business. Who is being manipulated? And it’s not just one person here and there. Everybody at the top must know that something is going on with certain individuals. Maybe Putin is taking time, threatening to spill the beans about the existence of these presumed blackmail networks, perhaps without actually knowing the details of specific cases. How come no one, on either side, has made a big deal out of the pipelines being blown up? I think there are other games afoot here.

The concept of Diversity was created to foster division, everyone is arguing & fighting with each other while the elites get richer.

The document probably comes after the shooting incident in Belgorod, retarded restrictions on recruits being allowed to pray 5 times a day or not. If you expect those from your regions to fight for you who gives a shit if they want to pray a few times each day.

Anyway I`m new to your site where can I find an intro into your background & where you stand in your politics

I should write an intro on my positions.

But, long story short, I'm pro-Russian but I want to see Russia become less globohomo and more unabashedly pro-Russian.

Rolo, thanks for your pro-Russian stance. But where are you now? And why were you expelled from Russia?

My snap gut-take is this memo is an epic troll from the rooskies to the freedom machine.

>“what can I learn about how war is conducted, the mentality of the enemy, the mistakes of my team?” and so on. This searching for truth is part of a larger and greater quest for strength. Strength through life-shaking encounters with raw, explosive truth is the all-encompassing, over-goal

YES! What can I learn from ...?

Interesting about fake or could be fake memos. And your assessment of them. The rest? Not interested.
