So, in the entirety of WW 2 we lost two generals to hostile fire and two more to friendly fire. But the Russians, with a fraction of the men involved and in a fraction of the time involved have lost four? Yeah, bullschit.
And that is just a bullschit story. He died with a squad trying to storm Maripul? Generals don’t do that schit.
I also love when the guys who aren't there, tell the people who are there, what they did or didn't do.
The Russians have employed a novel approach to render these snipers not only ineffective but blind.
After locating snipers,through the reflections/glare of their scopes, the Russians were shooting high power lasers into the scopes and disabling the snipers and even blinding them.
Sneaky bastards!
If true about Gospodin General, I wonder of it could be he has to be near or at the front to keep his troopies moving. None of that, "Nah, sarge, I don't think so today."
RB
Yeah, US generals would be two-thousand miles away in a comfy office or at worst, in country in the rear at a tactical operations center in a heated and cooled connex.
I also love when the guys who aren't there, tell the people who are there, what they did or didn't do.
Pot meet kettle
You’re chugging that kool aid like our VP on a California state assemblyman!
I'm not there. I can't argue with the reports that I read because I'm not there. Anyone who isn't there to see what is going on and still calls BS on the reports is a fool. So you're wrong. But you're used to that
Reports mean nothing without prof.
Pix or it didn't happen
So a "elite" squad with a Major General gets wiped out and you cant find any photos? Have you done any research about this story? I have and I cant find one photo of his dead body or the bodys of the dead squad.
Show me some un doctored photos and I'll believe it. Otherwise it's just more propaganda.
My question is who killed him? Was it the Ukrainian A-Team, the mysterious sniper, the ghost or a reddit furry? It's like a movie or comic book! lol.
How many cocks has your wife sucked?
I figured you were fully boosted.
Just go on believing what you want to believe and protesting all suggestions to the contrary. It’s obviously served you well thus far.
I would, however, suggest that a good policy to which you might adhere is to say nothing online you wouldn’t say in person.
I can't believe that when I saw the thread title I thought this might be an interesting thread. I did, however, appreciate the link on the General officers lost by the U.S. in WWII so there is that.
One American General killed during World Spat number 2 was Gen. Maurice Rose, killed on March 30th, I believe near Paderborn, Germany.
He was known to get too close to the fighting, and even the Germans had a nickname for him, The "American Rommel".
Rem141r: I am with you on that!
And I hope the body count of 4 (four!) on rooskie generals is correct - if it is, then it's a good start.
Long live Ukraine.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy
The pro-Putin crowd accepts as truth all the negative news on Ukraine, but then says it's a lie about Russian generals being killed.
Not to worry. I'll ease up on you now and you should soon start to feel better again
I’m asking a serious question.
Do you know how to engage in an actual conversation or do you just deflect?
Your profile says that one of your interests is theology. I’m curious as to how your behavior here reflects upon your theology, or vice/versa?
So, in the entirety of WW 2 we lost two generals to hostile fire and two more to friendly fire. But the Russians, with a fraction of the men involved and in a fraction of the time involved have lost four? Yeah, bullschit.

There is so much propaganda going on in this war. You simply have NO clue.
I agree it would be crazy for 4 to be killed. Unless its a Putin cleansing thing and its shot in the front or shot in the back kind of thing.
One thing still stands out though, while Russia isn't our friend and the best thing in the world, the Ukraine is far from innocent in all this and the USA is very likely one pulling their strings.
Not at all. But I also can't mount an argument against it unless someone else who has eyes on the situation mounts a credible argument
How many jabs you had?
It always comes down to a ridiculous question! Instead of qualified information!
There is a definite correlation between those who swallowed the China Flu narrative and those who are buying the “you’re not a real American unless you back Ukraine” narrative.
I’d argue they’re so tied as to be nearly one in the same.
And we know your answer to the question because you’ve answered multiple times.
Yep I took Trump's jab, and don't feel the need to hide the fact. That doesn't mean your question, had any intelligence, just a failed question because you had no other answer. Look around and you will realize, stupid questions like yours divide like minded people. Are you working for the dnc, trying to devide conservative thinking people? Or just trying for self gratification, just jerk off and get it over. Then others can have meaningful discussions! I'm going out in the world now to accomplish something real. Stay here in your fantasy land. Have a nice day!
Almost like, “you’re not a real American unless you back putin” narrative.
I’ve heard many say here that they need convincing on the question of Ukraine. I’ve heard others speaking hyperbolically saying that they hope Russia ends this quickly so we don’t have to hear people howling about it anymore, but I’ve not heard anyone say what you suggest above.
Could you direct me to the quotes/posts you have in mind?
Maybe not word for word, per se, and as much like what you’ve stated.
But for grins, try some of Jag’s many posts and a few of ribka’s for a start and that should keep you busy for a while concerning the narratives.
Let me know what you find within those.
For those that might interested, the OP thread subject concerns Russian Generals being zapped to the tune of 4 and counting, yet to be disproven.

Just for the record I don’t believe anyone was attempting to DISprove anything, but only to point out that after so much disinformation spreading by corp press these last several years a considerable amount of skepticism with regard to their assertions may be in order.
Again please show me where someone in this thread said otherwise.
Can you understand why people might think you’re playing games the way you re-frame arguments to sound as tho you’re right?
This is the second post of yours on this page that is demonstrably false.
This poor gal just keeps getting blown up over and over again. First time was in 2018. She ages well.
Amazing how this building opposite the mega ton bomb crater 20 ft deep and 80 ft across survived the explosion. Blast resistant glass and trees I guess
.
And this Russian jet keeps getting shot down over and over again. Simply amazing (how the fools drink their Kool-aid). Then again, that's how the commie tools keep getting suckers to vote for them.
Of course I know nothing of the Russian military structure, but many years ago, I enlisted in an Army, 64-67, and in 3 years I can honestly say I never saw anyone above the rank of light colonel. In those days, I don't think generals went where there was dust or mud or schidters burning.
Anyone who believes four Russian generals have been killed in three weeks is a fuqing idiot. Anyone who cites a Twitter pic as evidence, is too stupid to remember to breath.

Most people do “frame” discussions to prove that they are right just like you’re doing now.
I doubt that you can see that clearly.
If you have such deep skepticisms please post relative sources to support that of which the OP stated as being fake news.
If I may borrow from you, Your above post is demonstrably false,
Can you understand why people might think you’re playing games the way you re-frame...
Most people do “frame” discussions to prove that they are right just like you’re doing now.
Do you know the difference between framing and re-framing?
You’re absolutely right we all frame our arguments.
RE-framing, however, is when you say “X is true” such as here:
Almost like, “you’re not a real American unless you back putin” narrative.
And then when pressed have to admit “we’ll ok that wasn’t quite what I meant” (ie re-framing) as you did here:
Maybe not word for word, per se, and as much like what you’ve stated.
Now please note that I’ve admitted to having been wrong on my other point which AkWolverine pointed out. That was fair in regards to JoeBob.
Does that all make sense? I’m genuinely attempting to clarify a meaningful difference here not “score points”
I reiterate, anyone who believes this schit is absolutely retarded. You are stupid. Sorry, no other way to explain it.
I didn't know the term and the way it was explained to me was that Russia will run out of supplies/materiel within 14 days. That could change if they get supplied by China, I suppose.

Amen.
HE said, See what fruit the tree produces before you eat of it. I'll add, because the MSM tree produces a lot of schiett.
1. Obama, Kilery, Piglosi, Bidet, Schumer, Slick, good. Russian collusion real. Ukraine winning.
2. Trump, Que, bad.
Where were they correct?
I didn't know the term and the way it was explained to me was that Russia will run out of supplies/materiel within 14 days. That could change if they get supplied by China, I suppose.
The truth is the 60,000 Ukranian Army is cut off in the east end of the country and hasnt supplies to get out to fight even if they wanted to die.
The Ruskies are moving slowly and precisely to take out military targets and Asov Neonazi mercenaries.
Bidet is flooding the US with similar mercenaries through the southern border and flying them in from moslem nations with plans to have them shut this country down either this summer when Durham reveals the bad schiett about the US cabal including Zero, Piglosi, Kilery, Biden, etc when they shut down the internet and to riot and have anarchy this fall keep people from voting.

I want to make sure I have this right: since there are allegedly some "Nazis" in the Azov Battalion, Ukraine has no right to self defense from an aggressive invader?
That the logic?
I didn't know the term and the way it was explained to me was that Russia will run out of supplies/materiel within 14 days. That could change if they get supplied by China, I suppose.
new one on me too, wiki says:
The culminating point in military strategy is the point at which a military force is no longer able to perform its operations.[1]
On the offensive, the culminating point marks the time when the attacking force can no longer continue its advance, because of supply problems, the opposing force, or the need for rest.[2] The task of the attacker is to complete its objectives before the culminating point is reached. The task of the defender on the other hand, is to bring the attacking force to its culminating point before its objectives are completed.[3]
The concept of a culminating point was formulated by the Prussian general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz in his book On War published in 1832.
Sycamore, thanks.
I called a friend of mine who is retired military (colonel) and he said the same as you posted on “culmination”.
His shop talk with old cronies leans toward Putin’s removal and him not going quietly into the night or exiling. They felt that Putin’s being declared a War Criminal will cause even more sanctions and deeper hardships on the Russian people.
He also said that both countries are politically rotten to the core as many here have said. No secret there.
We shall see.
I can easily believe that four generals have been killed. Russian duties for a general are not the same as our generals. Russian generals are doing jobs that a major to a colonel would do in the US Army. Russian generals lead in the field. A Russian general would have several stars before he’d be doing the job of a one star US general.

A Russian general would have several stars before he’d be doing the job of a one star US general.
In the US, a battalion commander is a LtCol, a regiment/brigade commander is a Col. A division commander is a 1 or 2 star. A logistics element would be commanded by a 1 star. A task force could be commanded by a 1 star. What do you think they do, lead over skype? The combat operations center for an invading force is going to be in proximity to the front, and will move with the bulk of the unit. If the unit is having problems, the commanding officers including 1 and 2 stars are going to have to inspect the unit and direct movements. The more jacked up, the more the involvement. The Russian invasion is a calamity. Their logistics problems cannot be explained except by ineptitude of the highest level. Individual generals that are competent must be frustrated beyond belief and will need to make sure their units are functioning as they intend. Therefore, it is completely understandable why they are taking casualties among general officers.
I want to make sure I have this right: since there are allegedly some "Nazis" in the Azov Battalion, Ukraine has no right to self defense from an aggressive invader?
That the logic?
The logic is this.............because Trump loves Putin and Biden loves Ukraine, then you're either supposed to support the Russian invasion or else you're going to be on the Campfire chitlist.
Quite a lot more complicated than that. This podcast lays out the history of our dealings with Russia since the end of the Cold War. It is far from an apologetic for favoritism toward Russia, but certainly shows that things are no where near as simple as many would have us believe:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podca...d-remastered/id978322714?i=1000553897203 The best advice my father gave me was this.......believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see. What I see is Russia invading a country, and killing innocent civilians.............a country, that in reality, wasn't really a threat except maybe in the eyes of a dictator in a neighboring country, named Putin. Like it or not, that's what the world is seeing, and the only place I've seen any support for Russia has been on here, by those who worship the ground that Trump walks on. That's what I see..
And for the record, I don't hate Trump. I voted for him twice, and would again if he was the candidate. But, on the other hand, he is not always right...........something that's a proven fact
... the only place I've seen any support for Russia has been on here, by those who worship the ground that Trump walks on. That's what I see..
I am aware of another firearms site with similar support for the pro-Putin narrative, in my opinion, there is more than just pro-Trump sentiment at work, an unhealthy susceptibility to conspiracy is also needed, along with significant confirmation bias, topped off with some useless (but hard to resist) contrarianism.
Neither you nor I can state with absolute certainty that this is not all some massive secret disinformation campaign, but the chances of that actually being true are miniscule. So small, that it is an irrational belief.
Another General killed..... 2 star General
That makes 5.
Commander of the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Andrey Mordvichev.
the only place I've seen any support for Russia has been on here, by those who worship the ground that Trump walks on. That's what I see..
And for the record, I don't hate Trump. I voted for him twice, and would again if he was the candidate.
100%
I still can’t figure out the pro-Russia argument.
And I’ve tried.
And voted for Trump 2X and will undoubtedly again.
lol
It's like when the pro-abortion advocates try and rename their position or rename their opponents.
It's not about being pro-Russia, or pro-Putin. It's about FÜCK the corrupt Ukrainian government that WE installed. Trying to reframe the argument is grade school level stupidity. Theres a lot more info out there that isn't and won't be reported on whatever news you listen to.
If you're quoting lil James and agreeing with him, I'd do a gut check haha.
Trying to reframe the argument is grade school level stupidity.
That’s almost all I’ve seen here, then an attempt to explain what it means to reframe is met with glassy-eyed stares and inane non-responses.
Many claiming to be Conservatives have exactly the emotion-driven responses that the left has. Any attempt to say “hold on; investigation & deliberation are in order” is met with “oh you deny science (with regard to COVID)/you’re a Putin-loving communist!”
Just proved they’ve fallen just as hard for the propaganda of the left as the left’s own useful idiots.
Try searching how many Ukraine generals killed, keeps mentioning Russian, does not give ukraines total.
