Lees "achilles heel". He only did what he did for VA. From picking generals, to defending her with every conscript and volunteer he could get his hands on and throwing them at the enemy. He fought to keep men in VA instead of the western theater. When VA was lost, he quit.

>incentivize them to work to get their shares of the abundance Did you get thawed out of a freezer? US capital markets are getting ready to conscript hundreds of billions of consumer and retirement fund $ to create infrastructure replacing the need for a human workforce.

Because NSFW was hardcore porn and NSFL was a Russian conscript getting his throat slit by Chechens

Another video from the front. A young Ukrainian conscript describes the sense of impending doom in Konstantinovka, Ukraines "Fortress" City now encircled and about to fall to Advancing Russians. He didn't survive. Sadly another sacrifice for Zelensky😡

Mark Carney and his Western partners are determined to fight Russia right down to the very last unfortunate Ukrainian conscript. ✔️

If these Ukrainian, er, male models were needed for the war in Ukraine why were they not there, probably scared that Zelensky’s army would forcefully conscript them

The Kremlin is openly gaming out ecological terrorism as its next pressure valve. Rogozin, that burned-out ex-Roscosmos clown, now a senator, straight-up says they should rig their own shadow-fleet tankers with mines. Detonate them off European coasts if the ships get seized or diverted. A couple of deliberate oil spills, a few ruined shorelines, and suddenly Western publics will pressure their governments to back off. Kremlin Telegram channels that used to dream about Wagner escorts now admit the navy cannot protect the ghost fleet, so eco-terror it is. Patrushev, the grand master of false-flag staging, immediately follows up by claiming Europe is already attaching magnetic mines to Russian hulls in European ports. No evidence beyond the usual FSB theater that once brought us the Ryazan sugar sacks. The timing is surgical: Rogozin floats the threat, Patrushev plants the narrative that any explosion was pre-planted by the West. Classic under-false-flag prep work. This is not random trolling. It is the imperial state project doing what it has always done when sanctions bite and conventional options fail: externalize the cost, create chaos, then blame the victim. One Prestige-scale spill off Britain or the Baltic would run Europe five to nine billion euros and eighteen months of cleanup. Moscow calculates that price is still cheaper than losing the shadow fleet that keeps its war economy breathing. They have already fused hybrid war, energy blackmail, and information sabotage into one doctrine. Ecological blackmail is just the next module. Europe needs to stop treating these statements as the ravings of isolated cranks. They are trial balloons from people who sit at the right hand of the president. The correct response is not more hand-wringing about "escalation" but accelerated kinetic and sanctions pressure on every tanker, refinery, and loading terminal that feeds the machine. Ukraine is already hitting refineries and oil ports with drones built on a shoestring; the West can choke the financial arteries faster and without firing a shot. Every barrel that does not reach the shadow fleet is one less drone, one less glide bomb, one less conscript thrown into the meat grinder for another ruined village that costs Moscow more lives than the village ever had residents. The deeper truth is simpler than the Kremlin wants you to believe. This regime does not have normal neighborly security concerns. It is an imperial project that sees any independent Ukraine as an existential threat to its own legitimacy. That is why every "peace" proposal that begins with Ukrainian concessions is not diplomacy, it is surrender theater that only buys Moscow time to regroup and try again. There is no non-military solution left. The war ends when the Russian army is broken on the battlefield, when the imperial center in Moscow loses the capacity and the will to project power beyond its borders, and when the Federation itself fractures into entities that no longer dream of restoring the prison of nations. Until then, every European port that keeps clearing these tankers without inspection is subsidizing the next ecological threat and the next wave of conscripts. The cheaper option for European security has always been the same: arm Ukraine to win, not to survive. Turn frozen Russian assets into shells and drones yesterday. Stop pretending Patrushev's lies deserve diplomatic respect. And recognize that the only thing standing between your coastline and the next deliberate spill is the Ukrainian soldier who is, right now, also defending your illusion that this war can be contained east of Poland. Moscow's information war wants you to see complexity and moral equivalence. There is none. One side rigs tankers for eco-terror and pre-blames the victims. The other side is bleeding to stop it. Choose which future you are paying for.

A haunting photo, this. Again, there was no need to conscript because so many were swelling the recruitment offices to get themselves killed.
