Remember when Bush saw Putin's soul?
"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country

Dubya might not be the best judge of character, lol

That dude was in bed with more neocons than an Epstein-procured preteen.

Hey! His dad said he wasn't a war criminal and you can count on family to be completely impartial in such circumstances.

Yeah.  I forgot about that.

Actually, I think ruler fits him better.  But it's odd that part of the problem is that it is still kind of a new word in Russia so the people are not comfortable with the term. "President" has been around for 200 years (that I know of), and is widely used around the world.  Not that it makes much difference.  A jerk by any other name is still a jerk.

I always thought calling those old world dictators "President" was a way to obscure the fact that they were harsh rulers.  In fact, I never thought some of them deserved the title.  To me this Russian thing sounds like an attempt to make it clearer to the Russian people that they are the property of Putin, and it's time for them to stop complaining about their lot in life.  Especially now, since McDonald's has pulled out leaving them nothing to eat, except what Putin gives them.

It absolutely is.  But after a while, people catch on that the "President" keeps giving himself extra terms and eventually, the illusion falls apart.  China dropped the charade and now Russia is doing the same.

Update: Iran refuses

Imagine being so desperate for drones that you turn to a country whose military history is best described as human-wave attacks and whose people have been under international sanctions for decades.  And they refuse to help you.

Putin is twisting in the wind right now.

On the left is attacks on Ukraine on July 8th.

On the right is attacks on Ukraine on July 12th.

A lot less activity due to HIMARS

Russian soldiers more frequently drunk and insubordinate

QuoteAlcohol abuse and desertion are rampant in Russian forces, according to the message.

Enemy soldiers also tend to complain about being ordered into futile and ineffective attack on Ukrainian defenses.
The way this is phrased, you'd think a Russian colonel was marching on Kyiv and watching his troops get blown to bits all while calling them whiners.

Ukraine has recently received a second batch of Krab howitzers from Poland (they already have 18) as well as American M777A2 howitzers (the A2 variant can fire extended-range Excalibur guided shells, so it can fire farther and more accurately to be more likely to kill orcs with less risk to civilians)

More HIMARS are coming, too.

Russian forces are going to wish they never set foot in Ukraine very soon.

Another wave of Russian civilians emigrate from Putin's Russia

Exact numbers are currently unknown, but at least 100,000.

This exacerbates the -7% population growth rate and causes yet more brain drain.
