Just pick up and go home as your great grandfathers did in 1917.

The Russian army leadership was as incompetent then as now. So Russian soldiers said enough, we’re going home.

They survived. Which is more than you will if you don’t go home.

Last line is correct. The entire @mfa_russia is going to The Hague

I see this and then recall the ridiculously arrogant 2003 essay by Derrida and Habermas that claimed Eastern Europeans were too immature to understand what Europe meant. And think Derrida and Habermas didn’t quite get it either.

RT @ChrisO_wiki: 1/ Russia's deployment system is so dysfunctional that many soldiers are reportedly spending weeks "wandering around in search of their units" in border and rear areas, with some being listed as deserters because they have not reported to the units they cannot find. ⬇️

Let's hope he does not remain nameless for long.

He had a name.

He was a POW brutally murdered by the Russians.

They are sick enough to circulate it.

He deserves to be known.

He has a name, dammit.

Good thread from one of Russia's (now exiled) premier analysts of China, @AlexGubuev
RT @AlexGabuev: We're 10 days into publication of 🇨🇳 position on 🇷🇺🇺🇦 war, sometimes mistakenly dubbed as a "peace plan." As a result, peace is not an inch closer, but the global reaction to the document serves Beijing's main goal. Brief thoughts based on my recent piece for @CEIP_Politika🧵

Good thread. But as with the Russian army in 1917, just get up and leave. It seems like the only option when treated like this.
RT @ChrisO_wiki: 1/ In the latest indication of poor morale in the Russian armed forces, around 20 soldiers of the 126th Coastal Defence Brigade in the occupied part of Ukraine's Kherson region have attempted to resign from the Russian army for conscientious objections. All have been refused. ⬇️

It’s hopeless.
