Just checked, the ruble finally got to the 100 for one dollar mark. Any bets here when it will surpass the 134 mark reached on 11 march of last year?

How does that compare with the deutsche mark after the Great War?

No idea, but I would compare it instead with the socialist goverment of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela; both countires have huge oil reserves, but due to bad management went bankrupt. Germany managed to put their economy back on track and started wwII, Russia will become the new north korea, which is in no position to wage war by itself (but sable rattles all the time).

It seems the Kerch bridge was hit again today.

Interesting vid by the 12th Special Purpose Squad in Ukraine with their drone strikes. There's a few that went through Russian trenchs (trech entrances) to take out Russian soldiers in there.

Russians are proud of using bicycles.

DW talks about Russian efforts to incentivize recruitment by increasing their salaries.

HUR (Military intelligence) reported a big catch, which was a Mi-8 AMTSh. HUR mentioned that the special ops took more than six months of planning.

HUR commandos were able to assist the pilot who agreed to give himself up and his family (in advance). The two crewmen who tried to confront HUR were... given permanent rest.

HUR mentioned taking out a S-400 battery in Crimea.

Oh no!
Anyway-

...
...there are rumors that Dmitry Utkin, Wagner's alleged founder, was also on the plane and among the dead.

mangamuscle · 2023-08-23, 13:29

Now everybody can see why putin didn't go to south africa, it was not because he feared arrest, he feared wagner would shot down his plane. So he decided to be ahead of the curve.

Yu Ominae · 2023-08-23, 21:37

There's word out there that Russian state media already declared Prigozhin KIA despite not showing his body yet.

----

Thoughts of unconfirmed info. She says that Prigozhin was declared KIA a few years ago, but was found alive.

The message is clear, putin does not want people in the warner group to harbor any hope that their leader is going to return. No doubts the process of asimilating them into the MOD is already starting. As for showing the body, after such crash it is highly unlikely in one piece or easily recognizable. Heck, if he has the devil's luck and somehow survived, I bet FSB agents were dispatched to the area to make sure he stays dead.

Vid taken in Russia of Putin's supposed Politsiya convoy speeding up.

Unconfirmed news that Rosgvardiya is on high alert.

Just found this on twitter, was this foreshadowing that he was to be isekai'ed? lol

Please don't remind me that there actually exists a manga starring a benevolent and genuinely manly pastiche of Vladimir Putin as main character, adventuring in isekai and championing oppressed demihumans.
Please.

I bet that mangaka has so many regrets right now.

Key Board · 2023-08-24, 14:30

I mean, I remember shirtless Putin memes
many people thought he was cool. And than the Ukraine war happened.

There's still a lot of people who think he is cool among the BRICS sphere
and among authoritarian sympathizers

Renegade334 · 2023-08-24, 15:24

The manga I'm talking about (titled The Ride-On King, by the author of Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru) is very literally based on that barechested horseriding Putin meme...except that in the series he's riding a tiger...which he uses to go to work and has his own parking spot.

And, yes, to be fair, he's president of a fictional Slavic country that gained independence sometime in the near future, but there is no room for doubt as to which real-life person his character is based on.
