    The Putin regime has been herding Russians into the slaughter house as fast as it can.
    IS may have expected Putin to thank them for embracing and carrying out an official policy of the Russian government.

    While the Russians are distracted by their own propaganda, Ukraine carries on with the war.

    Ukrainian forces struck a Black Sea Fleet communications center in occupied Sevastopol, Crimea, and reportedly struck an oil depot and at least partially damaged two BSF landing ships on the night of March 23.

    Epic failure after epic failure for Russia under Putin.


    "Russian President Vladimir Putin and his media echo chamber have been ignoring the Islamic State's claim of responsibility for the concert hall shooting that killed at least 137 on Friday, and are seemingly searching for more convenient scapegoats.

    Why it matters: For a president who emerged from the security services and for whom restoring stability and security to Russia is central to his czar-like image, Putin's recent record is glaringly weak.

    • First, the failed offensive on Kyiv laid bare Russia's military shortcomings.
    • Then, in a mutiny led by oligarch-turned-mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, troops and tanks shockingly moved on Moscow.
    • Now Russia's worst terror attack in 20 years hits a Moscow suburb — and it seems Washington saw it coming."

    A regime like Putin's often faces a crisis when reality collides with the propaganda narrative.

    The March 22 Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K) attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall is a notable Russian intelligence and law enforcement failure, and explaining currently available open-source evidence does not require any wider and more complicated conspiracy theory either within or against the Russian state. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed during an address on March 25 that “radical Islamists” committed the attack, but immediately and basely accused the United States of trying to cover the “Ukrainian trace” of the attack, directly accusing Ukraine of being the “customer” of the attack. ISW continues to assess that the attack itself, as well as the claim pattern following the attack, is highly consistent with the way IS conducts and claims such incidents and has observed no evidence that Ukraine was involved in the attack.

    “Production at Thales UK weapons plant has doubled and is set to double again following Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Northern Ireland-based company operates two sites in the region – with high-precision missiles designed and produced at a plant in east Belfast, and final missile assembly at another plant in Crossgar, Co Down.
    It designs and produces missiles including Starstreak, Lightweight Multi-role Missile (LMM) systems as well as the final assembly of the Saab-designed Nlaw.”

    Russia is manufacturing obsolete vulnerable targets. NATO is manufacturing very effective target solutions.

    It is important to remember how weak Putin really is, and how much his outlook depends on US foolishness.
    Denying Russia’s Only Strategy for Success
    Mar 27, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    The notion that the war is unwinnable because of Russia’s dominance is a Russian information operation, which gives us a glimpse of the Kremlin’s real strategy and only real hope of success. The Kremlin must get the United States to the sidelines, allowing Russia to fight Ukraine in isolation and then proceed to Moscow’s next targets, which Russia will also seek to isolate. The Kremlin needs the United States to choose inaction and embrace the false inevitability that Russia will prevail in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin’s center of gravity is his ability to shape the will and decisions of the West, Ukraine, and Russia itself.

    It seems that Lukashenko went off-script.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 26, 2024
    Mar 26, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that the Crocus City Hall attackers originally fled toward Belarus not Ukraine, directly undermining the Kremlin narrative on Ukraine’s involvement, possibly to head off questions about why the attackers headed toward Belarus in the first place. During a visit to Belarus’ northwestern Ashmyany raion on March 26, Lukashenko reported that the Crocus City Hall attackers may have been planning to escape Russia’s Bryansk Oblast to Belarus, but that Belarus introduced a heightened security regime that forced the attackers to change course towards the Russia-Ukraine border. Lukashenko stated that the attackers “couldn’t enter Belarus” and praised high levels of cooperation between Russian and Belarusian special services for leading to the attackers’ arrests.

    The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) released its 38th report on the human rights situation in Ukraine on March 26, confirming several of ISW’s longstanding assessments about Russia’s systematic violations of international human rights and humanitarian law in occupied territories and towards Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs). The HRMMU report details activities between December 1, 2023 and February 29 2024, and includes new findings about Russia’s abuse of Ukrainian POWs during this timeframe, based on interviews with 60 recently released male POWs. Nearly all of the POWs that HRMMU interviewed detailed how they were tortured by Russian forces with beatings and electric shocks and threatened with execution, and over half of the interviewees experienced sexual violence.

    Which at this point begs the question: When Russians shoot down their own military aircraft is it "friendly fire" or very active internal opposition politics? ;-)

    You never know now....it's possible it's "friendly fire".

    If it's "internal politics" ....that's HEAVY.....that indicates lots of departments or individuals looking to phuck over one another.

    A Google search reveals many examples of elements within the Russian military destroying Russian military targets with remarkable efficiency.

    Ukraine is currently preventing Russian forces from making significant tactical gains along the entire frontline, but continued delays in US security assistance will likely expand the threat of Russian operational success, including in non-linear and possibly exponential ways. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in an interview with CBS News published on March 28 that Ukrainian forces managed to hold off Russian advances through winter 2023–2024 and that Ukrainian forces have stabilized the operational situation.

    Countries that usually avoid conflicts with Russia are stepping up help Ukraine. IMO, the US should send effective aid to Ukraine's fighters now, or start preparing to send troops to defend NATO very soon.

    The facts are that you follow Russian propaganda and believe a heap of absurd lies and are not even aware of the facts, Dora.

    We're over 2 years into this **** show now and what do the fascists have to show for it? Grinding out a few meters a day at best in exchange for heavy losses in orcs and equipment.
