    Tangible evidence that Russia is cracking up?

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-dystopian-plan-post-mutiny-024538791.html

    Tucked away in a new law aimed at raising the draft age for Russia’s military are several mysterious amendments that are designed to create new armed groups or paramilitary companies throughout the country.

    The military companies, also known as “special enterprises,” would be there to maintain public order, protect Russia’s borders, and counter sabotage efforts, according to the text of the bill.

    As the proposal is currently framed, the new military companies would be armed and run by governors, but would obtain weapons from the Russian Ministry of Defense. They would ostensibly operate at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    Yes, yes, arm the regional governors…

    Interesting.  This was a launched weapon of some sort.  You can see it launching from the woodline and if you look carefully after you can see at least one Russian in that position.  This is VERY close range, perhaps 25m or so.  That's way too short a distance for most ATGMs to arm.

    What it looks like to me is the missile traveled for only 15m or so then boosted and covered the remaining distance to impact the CV-90.  The explosion indicates either the warhead was armed or that it struck ERA (if Ukraine has stuck any on).

    Curious.

    This is RPG-7.  You are seeing the booster rocket kick in after launching charge.

    What do you think happened when suddenly the captured prisoners were blurred out? At 10:36

    You can see unedited video on Telegram (link in YouTube description).  The prisoners got roughed up a bit, seemingly because they weren’t following commands to lay down.  Possibly also blurred because they appear wounded already.  Guy with a splinted leg was blurred later for this reason alone.

    A clip has been making the rounds of a Russian being very visibly hurled into the air after his tank blew up. Based on the video it looks like he was riding on the tank just in front of the turret on the right hand side. Then, after the tank hit a mine (??) he was flung into the air before landing about 100 metres away.

     

    That's some material that was next to the BTR, not one of the men on top.  Go frame by frame and you can see it originate next to the BTR. The riding infantry are bounced, then jump off. Might be discarded coveralls from the crew of the abandoned tank?

    I wonder whether the FSB told Putin that Prig was going to Putsch, but Putin couldn't believe he'd go that far, so told them to leave him be.

    Wagner base camp in Ukraine was hit with several strikes, preempting Prigozhin's original plan by several days and forcing a more hasty move into Russia.

    There is absolutely no sense of self-awareness as to how insane this is, and it seems to be pervasive within the Russian culture. 
     
    "Narcissim:  selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, and a need for admiration, as characterizing a personality type."
     
    Narcissist are simply unable to understand or conceptualize that their behavior is abnormal or unacceptable to others.  Thus--they lack the introspective ability to learn from their mistakes and correct their behavior. 
     
    From everything I've seen over the past 18 months--this is Russia which makes it extremely difficult to engage in reasonable and productive discourse to try to put an end to their madness.
     
     
     
     
     

    pretty sure that is satire...
