Wow. A rare moment of clarity, there. RIP to that guy.
Wow. That was pretty candid. Wouldn’t be surprised if he flings himself from a building or gets poisoned soon.

Edit: This Mikhail guy seems to be a Cassandra of sorts:

i know there's a tendency to overemphasis russian military deficiencies in a way that gives a mistaken impression of their advantages, and i don't really want to contribute to that, and also maybe there's a good reason that isn't obvious to me why a driver would do this.

all that said, lol.

That was an incredible sequence. When was the last time this many tanks and armored vehicles were involved in combat? WW2?

Really seems like the Russians need to address the whole bare-naked munitions issue that causes secondary explosions like that, but oh well ...

the consensus view seems to be that everyone involved was well aware of his views (he warned that russia was going to get their ass kicked before the invasion started) and understood what he would say.

so, this wasn't one guy going rogue, it was russian state tv inviting him on to say what he said.

Not unless Putin dies or is removed from power BEFORE. He'd commit every last Russian soul to prevent that.

Unless Putin is willing to use nukes, prolonging this war is only going to make the peace outcome worse for him.

Prolonging the war is prolonging his power.  So, might as well keep fighting until "peace" is on terms that allow him to claim a clear victory.  If that doesn't look possible, then just keep fighting.

There is no incentive.  At the very least keep sending russian boys to get burned alive until winter comes and maybe you can squeeze europe

Reported to be footage of Brimstone missiles from the UK in action. I don't understand how they find their targets but they are launched in groups of three and hit tanks 20km away.

The Russians are already taking out the M777's and it is alleged that the United States removed the digital fire control systems from the M777's before giving them to the Ukrainians.

If true it appears that #neocon America/#neoconGe are providing inferior weapons in the quest to fight the Russians until the last Ukrainian.

Not much on the diplomatic front, the Kagan-Nuland-Sullivan neocons are clearly in control of U.S. policy here.

It's 2022 and spending billions of dollars on wars in far off lands and attempting to set up a series of blank checks for sending billions of dollars of weapons that will go unaccounted for once they cross the border into one of the most corrupt countries on earth.   A county that has a long and protracted history of having a corrupt military with officers who have diverted weapons on to the black market for personal profit . . . requires marketing, positive news and good propaganda.    The easily propagandized American taxpayer needs to know their weapons are in good hands.

Nice bit of trolling with this video. The soundtrack is lifted from Putin's wargasm rally in Moscow a couple of months ago.

$5.4 billion dollars a week and counting, and all we've gotten (so far) is a bunch of armchair #neocons who don't understand Russian military doctrine.    It's like they went off to the various "war colleges" of their respective branch and learned nothing.   But they know they can propagandize #blueanon rank and file easily and being a major news network talking head probably provides some good spending cash in between consulting for defense contractors, or sitting on the board of the same, or heading up some #neocon think tank. 

Sad
