Just that the way they dealt with partisans was good and should be emulated.

I definitely do feel that the end of the western world order is being delayed mostly by the clownish incompetence of the anti-western forces.

Like, we all remember how much 'unity' there was among the high-incone democracies back in, oh, 2019, right?

Correct, if such moronic "suspicions" are maniacally repeated as truth by propagandists.

Is it my fault that your media strategy is to create as much shit as possible, bombarding the other side with it like a thousand Katyushas?

You fail at even denying Bucha lol. You pump out conspiracy theories in response to verified events like a torrent.

Great meme material, right there.


Not to mention that to even reach up to 51 vehicles, they had to be loaned 10 Ahmat Z-STS armoured cars from Ramzan "Neckbeard Surpassing The Combined Power of Reddit" Kadyrov. They really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

They're treating this like it's going to be a total war. All or nothing. Poor T-34s, Mosins and Maxim guns don't even get a break. Won't be surprised if we see them start doing the human wave "URAAA" shtick they tried 80 years ago and somehow managed to win by. Or better yet, the Don Cossacks mount horses and start charging at the Ukrainian lines with sabers and flintlock carbines.

Only having 51 vehicles in the parade this year doesn't bode well for next year's parade.

They are proudly fighting in Novorossiya, on their way to Kyiv!!!11!!!1! :rofl:

Apparently, there were no planes or helicopters, either, and most of the marchers were cadets and recruits, no regulars or veteran troops, save for the officers.

They only had one outdated tanks just 51 vehicles 10 of which were loaned by the Chechens fucking lmaoo. The more likely answer is that their mechanics were too busy to restore them in bulk(still super embarrassing) but the even funnier answer is that the rest are all going to the front.

I would sell my left nut to see the Russians having to field this shit it would be so fucking funny.

I also saw he claimed Russian army forces pulled back nearby, exposing a flank, but he somehow managed to "plug the gap" with his mercenaries. Are we witnessing some sort of weird game between local Russian military leaders and Prigozhin?
