Putin is really working on his Evil Mastermind rep.

anarchy79,

Well he has the “evil” part down pat.

“we all knew Captain Soebel wouldn’t last 5 minutes in combat, so long as members of Easy Company still had live ammunition”

Cagi,

He tried to commit suicide after the war and ended up just blinding himself. His wife left him, his kids stopped contacting him. He lived in a run down facility for years before his death of malnutrition blind, alone, unloved.

Damn, I hated the man but that’s sad.

anarchy79,

THEY WERE ON A BREAAAAAK!

I will never forgive that casting error. He’s not even a half decent actor. Barely quarter decent, even.

This isn’t our war.

We’re just flushing our money into it, helping the warmongers get wealthier, as per the usual.

thisbenzingring,

If Russia stops fighting, the war is over and everyone can go on with their lives. If Ukraine stops fighting, Russia will kill more and destroy what is Ukrainian.

This is worth fighting for. This is worth flushing money to.

raktheundead,

It absolutely is our war; do you think Russia will stop with Ukraine? Do you think it sets a good precedent to once again allow states to annex territories that aren't legally theirs with impunity?

It is a moral imperative to ensure that Russia can no longer engage an offensive war within our lifetimes.

hakunawazo,

Unbelievable like El Macho riding the rocket shark into a volcano.

In soviet russia, army tops you. Ouch my butthole.

verity_kindle,

I just want everyone’s bungholes to be safe and have plenty of teepee. It is the only thing that should ever touch your bunghole.

half_built_pyramids,

What if he was a bad general on purpose so that his troops could blow him up to boost morale?

That is a 4D chess move.

JebanuusPisusII,

Seeing all the videos on how russian soldiers are treated by their superiors, was the AFU vehicle just a plausible deniability?

verity_kindle,

That’s a good point. He could have been fragged or set up for a own goal. It probably wouldn’t be difficult. Tell him it’s safe and send him out after a bender?

could be also a translation issue as “mine” and “mortar bomb” are the same word in russian

verity_kindle,

Really or truthy/funny?

corrupts_absolutely,

mortar in russian is called minethrower

verity_kindle,

Sposiba!

real, context would clarify it

theodewere,
@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

what's important is the fact that both explanations are perfectly plausible given the current state of the Russian military

TAG,

You forgot the third, less plausible explanation: General was talking shit about Putin, did not realize that Vladimir Vladimirovich is always listening.

    i guess that deserves a promotion

    HikingVet,

    That is a concerning amount of flag officers killed.

    skillissuer,
    @skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    This is something like 6th ru general killed

    HikingVet,

    7th with him being the 12th ru senior officer.

    theodewere,
    @theodewere@kbin.social avatar

    does this include the ones that have fallen out of windows and down stairs

    HikingVet,

    Probably not.

    Hazzia,

    Russia really needs to start inveating in elevator infrastructure, what with all these very important people being so gosh darned clumsy.

    peopleproblems,

    they have an incredible amount of land. Maybe instead of building vertically, they should focus on single floor buildings.

    mindbleach,

    Yeah, considering how many conscripts are out there in a war their families aren’t permitted to call a war, it seems low.

    Diplomjodler,

    I’m not really concerned.

    JohnDClay,

    I’m glad there are actual consequences for the people at the top. I hope the rest of them realize that too, or are dealt with in the same manner.

    ChicoSuave,

    Only if Russia wants to win their war.
