This is the biggest spin job ever by China. It's like a frog in a pot, I think.I mean shit, we are seeing Russia and Russians being treated far worse than the CCP and Uighyr situation, despite that being an actual genocide, for which China got the fucking Olympic games.
Russia either didn't win at COIN in Afghanistan, since the insurgency survived and toppled the government after the Russian's left, unless you define the goal of COIN to be merely suppressing the insurgents rather than eradicating them, in which case the US also won.
State building has nothing to do with military capabilities.

Regardless, any updates on Magomed Tushaev? The Chechen General reported dead about 3 days ago? I didn't find anything saying he was still alive or confirming death, so I'm guessing dead (because otherwise RT would have had a quick interview online with him just to blow up the propaganda).
I saw a reported phone call with the the leader of the Chechen republic, but no face, so the only verification would be if you knew what he sounded like.
How's it bullshit, what parts are bullshit, and who exactly is CRP or BPS, and why are their conclusions more 'trustworthy'?Yeah, this is bullshit.
CRP on the ground, Scott Ritter and some of the people BPS has on his show said so.
Coach RedPill is this internet personality that was on the ground in Kiev, I linked his videos.How's it bullshit, what parts are bullshit, and who exactly is CRP or BPS, and why are their conclusions more 'trustworthy'?
He is alive, I posted a video of him a day or two ago.This is the biggest spin job ever by China. It's like a frog in a pot, I think.

None of those vids have anything I've seen that actually counters Frietas's views, rather than just giving a current picture on the gorund (or what said personalities chose to represent it as) and Freitas actually has a background in studying counterinsurgency/guerilla warfareCoach RedPill is this internet personality that was on the ground in Kiev, I linked his videos.
BPS is Black Pigeon Speaks, who is another commentator.
Doing that to forces in Eastern Ukraine is one thing, as those forces are rather at the far end of Kiev's ability to resupply and reach; pretending Ukraine has no real ability to form a sustainable and persistent insurgency against Russian occupiers is a whole other thing entirely.Russians do not do the whole shock and awe, flatten the place with carpet bombing for 3 weeks before sending actual boots on the ground, their usual strategy is trapping the enemy in a cauldron, encirclement and squeezing the enemy with mass tank formations and artillery barrages.
They are doing that to the forces in eastern Ukraine, and the one thing they have limited the use of is large amounts of artillery and carpet bombings in order to keep civillian casulaties to a minimum.
Even if the imaginary losses were real, it still wouldn't put a significant enough dent in Russian transport aviation. It's more likely they will use them as bait drones.Well, that is interesting; guess those transport shootdown and issues are causing Russia to pull out their old biplane troop transports. I guess they do have STOL capability, which could be useful for getting troops in and out faster.

Thing probably also has a better chance of being able to safely fly below radar as well, compared to larger troop planes.

Ah, ok; using them to either bait drones or SAMS would be a useful way to 'expend' those air frames.Azeris used them as distraction drones as well to draw air defense attention and bait missiles and the like in the Azeri-Armenian War.

Not surprised, but still just stupid.
No, I just hate him in particular cause he was part of the crazy suppression of LGBTs in Chechenia (full put gays into camps, torture them, not the bullshit that's whined about in the west about not teaching gay sex to kids). I'd feel the same way if someone who lead the Azov battalion died also.We'll know once the shooting is done. And in the larger picture, does he actually matter? Because the entire Russian way of war is to have a plan that doesn't rely on one guy being a genius.
You posted the video of him talking with the leader, IIRC. Not a video of him (at least not one with a clear date).He is alive, I posted a video of him a day or two ago.
Note that the USA isn't banning news media. Just big tech is deciding too. Which is, I think, an important distinction about why there is US freedom of speech, but it doesn't actually exist in the rest of the West. The rest just say 'freedom of speech' while really meaning "don't say stuff we don't like, and we'll all pretend."Czechs Could Face 3 Years in Prison For Supporting Russia on Social Media
Slovakia: Public Support of Russia Could Land You in Prison for Up to 25 Years
Czechia and Slovakia to imprison anyone who supports Russia publicly.
USA and EU and big tech banning Russian news media.
Geez, at least here in the West we have freedom of sp...um,yeah, never mind.
