To the Chief of the General Staff: you are a fucking motherfucker. We have nothing to fight with, we have no rounds. The guys are dying for us there, and were fucking sitting here, not helping. We need rounds, we want to fuck everyone up. We are fighting against the entire Ukrainian army near Bakhmut. Where are you? Its about time you help us. Theres nothing else to fucking call you except motherfucker! one of the fighters said in the video.

(17,587 posts)When the Soviets were overrun during Barbarossa, they were short of everything for a while, but it did not take a year to get back on their feet. I have read a lot of memoirs written by Soviet soldiers. I can not recall an instance when the troopers complained about a lack of munitions. Putin may think that he is a Stalin but he is more like a Mussolini. It is fate that a leader, so full of hot air, is named Putin.

My father was in that war and told me about the butter we sent Russians and they shined their boots with it.
Point taken, though, that Stalin ramped up war production, even if the tanks didn't work that well, they were out there.

They executed one of their own commanders because his hired guns/troops deserted.
Who is the man behind Wagner PMC? Who is Prigozhin?
