- Massive US incompetence or a total 5D disinformation move?
Place your bets!Nairn - I shoulda used the word 'gambit' there.
That would've sounded a lot cleverer.Nairn - Assuming the files are legit, why isn't there more outrage about the files' implications?MondoMorphic
- Indeed. Yet again we have a leak showing the inner workings of government yet we focus on the leaker's 'mental health'. More WMD's?Ianbolton

Top 10 hedge funds made £1.5bn profit from Ukraine war food price spike
Analysis covering first quarter of last year raises questions over role of speculators in inflating food pricesHedge funds have emerged as some of the biggest winners from the global food price spike that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the world’s 10 biggest hedge funds alone making profits estimated at nearly $2bn.
Analysis of the profits of the top 10 hedge funds for the first quarter of last year shows they are likely to have made about $1.9bn (£1.5bn) from trading in two food commodities, grain and soya beans, in the run-up to and immediate aftermath of the invasion.

- calling it 'profiting from war' sounds hyperbolic. trading corn, oil, oranges, nuts etc is now considered part of the military industrial complex? Fuck mehotroddy

They're saying the counteroffensive will be epic. But better to have expectations low. Not going to be easy.

Murder, alcohol and prostitutes: Wagner convicts pardoned by Putin return to terrorise home towns
Violent criminals who served with the notorious Russian militia in Ukraine are terrorising the communities they return to
Many are believed to have died in Ukraine, but those who survived the six months in the group’s ranks have earned presidential pardons and are now returning to their home towns. According to the notorious Wagner head Evgeniy Prigozhin, more than 5,000 former criminals have already been freed. One of those is Siukayev who recently returned to his home town of Tskhinvali.
Their releases have stoked fears that the men will go on to commit further crimes, worries that will only grow following a string of violent crimes perpetrated by former Wagner soldiers, including the murder of Ts

Prigozhin blamed his foe, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, for a lack of ammunition that he said could cost Russia the war.
In the nearly hour-and-a-half long video interview—apparently filmed days earlier—he read out a letter he said he’d sent to Shoigu on Friday, in which he issued a brazen ultimatum threatening to pull his mercenaries out from Bakhmut if the defense ministry does not immediately provide the required ammunition.
Apparently for added effect, he also threatened to tattle on Shoigu to Putin personally.
“The bell is already ringing, we’re sounding the alarm,” he said.
The group, he said, has enough rounds of ammunition left only “for days, not weeks.”
When asked if perhaps the military didn’t want to provide weapons to Wagner out of a fear that the mercenary group “might storm the Kremlin” and seize power, Prigozhin conceded that the idea is “interesting” but said he wasn’t focused on staging a coup.
But he made his scorn for military leaders abundantly clear, admitting that the Russian army’s military gains in Ukraine have been laughable.
“What have we even done [since Feb. 24]? We’ve turned the Russian army – the second army in the world – into what? Who the hell knows. ... What kind of army are we if we couldn’t even manage with itty bitty Ukraine?”
“It’s a complete mess everywhere, there’s no discipline. The army has everything, but there is absolutely no control, while there is an absolute paranoid gap between that which is happening in the trenches, and that which they know and think about in headquarters.”
He went on to warn that Ukraine’s counteroffensive is right around the corner, but said that among Russia’s military brass, “nobody gives a damn.”
Wagner, he said, is recovering “thousands and thousands” of bodies of its dead fighters “every day.”
According to him, it won’t be long before he will hold “those accountable who are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Russian guys.”

Huh, so did someone actually manage it?

- Well, 50/50. I can't see how this makes Russia defence look in any way good. Perhaps they've given up on appearing competent though.Nairn

Of course it's false flag.
Are people supposed to believe these little drones have enough fuel or battery to fly all the way from Ukraine to Moscow while also avoiding all air defence systems?
Maybe Russkies want to use it as an excuse to do something stupid in the coming days.

Prigozhin seems to have lost his shit...latest video shows the corpses of dead Wagner mercenaries and he again attacks the Russian leadership.
“Look at them, you bitches! (...) you sit in expensive clubs (...) your children make YouTube videos (...) you think you have the right to dispose of their [Wagner fighters] lives (...) they came here as volunteers and died so you could gorge yourselves in your offices.”
- It's a sad story that leaves out the fact that he recruited these people from prisons and basically used them as cannon fodder...yuekit
- As much as I hate that ugly, vile piece of shit, at least he's very honest and not trying to sugar coat things for propaganda.NBQ00
- He should be thankful there doesn't seem to be any windows where he is.Continuity
