What's happening in Ukraine

[Suck My Glock]

Looks like there might be an outbreak of civil war in southern Russia.

Chechen thug-in-chief Kadyrov has declared a blood feud with two Dagestani politicians and one from Ingushetia, both fellow vassal states in the northern Caucasus region.

Conflict breaking out there would, at a minimum, sap Russian forces from the Ukraine effort to go quell the hostilities in the south. And while Ukraine is busy attacking oil distribution in western Russia, the Caucasus is one of Russia's few oil producing regions that hasn't been threatened or affected during the war. The last thing Putin needs now is oil flow being interrupted in the Caucasus because of these chuckleheads slinging bombs at each other.

Supposedly, according to Kadyrov, the ministers in question attempted to have him killed.

According to some observers, this all stems from each of them all attempting to loot Russia's version of Amazon, Wildberries. Like any group of mafiosos, every MP and senator in Russia tried to insert themselves into the recent drama involving Wildberries' founder and her high-profile divorce from her co-founder husband after he shot dead some folks inside a corporate office with a company they were negotiating a merger with. (Yeah,...it's all very Game Of Thronesish.) Easiest way to imagine this is if Amazon and Twitter were looking to merge, and then Elon Musk goes and shoots Jeff Bezos down in his office, queering a deal Biden had himself arranged and approved, and now Pelosi and Schumer and NY Governor Hochul all try to sweet-talk Elon into letting them make his problems go away in exchange for a percentage of the company. Now imagine Hochul tried to conspire with Schumer for Pelosi to "have an accident". Yeah,...it's kinda like that. Except with personal armies at hand.


Things might get spicy in Chechen territory.

That is a pleasant thought.

The Russians have finally started attacking civilian shipping.

In truth, this has been expected since mid-2022, and the world food markets have been lucky so far that it hasn't yet occurred. But now, world food prices are about to radically change.

Many have speculated that all of Ukraine is so inherently corrupt that at least some of the guns and weapons sent to Ukraine would inevitably end up on the black market all over Europe and gangs would be armed to the teeth from London to Prague. I argued that despite whatever corruption may or may not have been the guiding principle before the war, survival motivated everyone to keep each other in check since every bullet and gun was needed against the invasion. Anyone caught diverting crucial war material away from the cause was likely to just get plowed under in some field and never make it before any judge or tribunal. There have been a handful of busts of local criminal gangs stockpiling stuff. But whenever they get uncovered, the Ukrainian authorities hammer them unmercifully to make an example out of them. Interpol has been watching very closely for any instances of weapons bleeding back into Europe and it has been nearly zero. Incredibly low.

But,...that said,...there is an astounding amount of rifles and other small arms unaccounted for. That's not really a surprise. When the excrement hit the oscillating wind distribution turbine, the emergency meant normal rules didn't apply. The Russians were coming down the road, and rifles were handed out to nearly anybody willing to stand and fight. And it is also true that in war, stuff gets broken, destroyed, captured, lost or buried when the incoming mortar round collapses your trench. S**t happens. So there is just no way every rifle is ever going to be accounted for.

But let's be honest,...if any of us were unfortunate enough to live there and had half a brain,...we'd know from history that peace in Europe (and Ukraine in particular) is always temporary. Regardless of how well Ukraine does in this war,...even if they win spectacularly,...the Russians will be back. The peace will be temporary - merely a ceasefire, really. So you and I, if we lived there, regardless of whatever else we might be doing,...we would look for an opportunity to stash away at least one weapon and some ammo. Maybe several. And who could blame you?

And so it is that the bean-counters in Lviv and Kyiv have determined that there are over 270,000 weapons unaccounted for. That's a lot of Kalashnikovs buried under the barn.

And no doubt, a lot of those are also likely purposely staged in caches all over the country in case the war goes badly, so that partizan insurrection folks can continue to wage rebellion. But also undoubtedly, this means putting the genie back in the bottle when it comes to civilian firearms ownership will be incredibly difficult if not impossible.

Regardless of what happens, it will be interesting.

Well,...the shooting has started inside Chechnya.

Today a Rosgvardia troop truck was ambushed and swiss cheesed, with the occupants getting absolutely greased.

The Rosgvardia are Putin's personal troops, sometimes misnamed as 'national guard', and outside of the chain of command from any of the other armed services. Sort of like the SS were in Germany.

The Chechen blood feud appears to be getting underway.

In recent weeks, the United States and its vassals and satellite states have been pushing the narrative that North Korea is allegedly “sending infantry to aid the Russian military” due to its supposed “massive losses”. Both the Kiev regime and South Korea (specifically its National Intelligence Service or NIS) insisted they have information that Pyongyang allegedly “sent around 12,000 soldiers to deploy in Ukraine”. Many outlets of the mainstream propaganda machine keep publishing all sorts of unsubstantiated reports, with claims ranging from North Korean troops that are supposedly “already deserting” and then being “forced into penal units” to elite special forces that are a danger to the Neo-Nazi junta forces. South Korean sources are even presenting rather unclear satellite imagery as “proof” of the supposed “large-scale deployment of North Korean soldiers”.

There are other reports designed to fit into the political West’s usual propaganda narrative, such as the claim that Russia supposedly asked North Korea to “help drive Ukrainian forces out of Kursk [oblast/region]”. The NYT insists that Pyongyang allegedly sent 5000 soldiers to “help Moscow”, quoting American and Kiev regime officials as their primary source. Expectedly, no other evidence was presented to corroborate such claims. However, this didn’t stop the US from (ab)using these unsubstantiated reports to “draw red lines regarding North Korean presence in Ukraine”. Namely, the House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner sent a letter to President Joe Biden, asking him to “brief the committee on Russia’s use of North Koreans in Ukraine”, insisting this should be considered a “red line for the US”. However, it seems he decided to up the ante.

“If North Korean troops were to invade Ukraine’s sovereign territory, the United States needs to seriously consider taking direct military action against the North Korean troops,” Turner posted on X, adding: “I have long challenged the Biden-Harris Administration’s unwise position on restricting Ukraine’s use of US weapons against targets within Russian territory. If North Korean troops attack Ukraine from Russian territory, Ukraine should be permitted to use American weapons to respond.”

Yeah, heaven forbid that a "misleading news tabloid" present some points of fact to be considered... :roll:

Thanks for this video SMG. Cheers me up daily to watch another Putin stooge die alone shitting himself while clenching out more wasted ammo. Hope the North Korean release is coming soon! :dance:

One of the hilarious unintended consequences of the North Koreans arriving in Russia to fight Ukrainians;...access to unfiltered internet.

While most observers were hoping this would lead to them finally getting a glimpse of the outside world and poison their minds to carry the infection back east - instead they have discovered porn. And apparently they are now all addicted stronger than a crack baby from Oakland. Rather than spending their time studying the map or tactics or even what direction the enemy is at (yes, they accidentally shot and killed a bunch of Russians the other day), they are spending every spare second the sergeant isn't looking over their shoulders running down all their batteries and wanking like teenagers on Viagra.

I hope they save some of that lube for their weapons.

Reports coming in that Ukraine sent a drone swarm to the powder plant in Tula and created a huge fireball upon detonation.
