Explosions in Murmans'k Oblast', next to the main base of the Northern Fleet (that's the one that has all the nuclear subs)

VVH did his annual "direct line" presser today. He explained to the orc populace that the underlying reason for the war was.... *checks notes* "a need to shake things up"

...

Also, the inflation is a thing, b/c Muscovites are buying too much stuff. Because they are too rich, y'know?

Also worth noting, he suggested that NATO should pick a site in Kyiv to defend with their best anti-air, and he will aim an Oreshnik there, to show how much better it is, in what he's calling a "technological duel"

Even the Z-heads are beginning to dount how solid his grasp on reality is, a little bit.

CentroBank will declare if it's hiking up interest rates tomorrow. Have the popcorn ready.

EDIT: UAF HQ reporting 2200 orc casualties over the past 24h. A new record.

The 51st state dumbfucks really don't get that adding another California will basically destroy the Reps' hopes of ever winning anything in the "bigger and better" US.

The only reason why Canada isn't super-left is because the vote is split b/w Libs and NDP. If they were both to get folded into the democrat umbrella, the hypothetical 51st state would be a 60% reliably blue.

Sigh, the angry people are going to have their day in the spotlight. And they'll hate it, and learn nothing from it. Because that's how these politics work.

Since I moved to Simcoe-Grey, my left vote is basically meaningless, so I can vote with a clear conscience.

My parents, who are spoon-fed JT hate talking points and continue to obstinately blame him for all the stuff on provincial level they don't like (despite me trying to explain how the separation of powers work infinity times) will probably help to flip the 905 yet again.

Head of the Chemical, biological, and radiation Defence group in the orc MoD was exploded in Moscow via an e-scooter bomb today. Naturally, this caused quite a stir in Moscow.


Yesterday, the SBU had him declared suspect for 4.8k counts of use of chemical weapons in the past 3 years of the war.

We will no longer hear such wonderful orc MoD stories as the horrible battle mosquitos of spawned in the secret Ukrainian biolabs. This was also the spokeorc who implied the high rates of avian flu in Muscovy were due to the UAF directing hostile infected birds towards the Muscovite population.

Orcs claiming Kurakhove city council building.

Georgian Dream voted in a pro-Russian football player as a new President. Zubarashvili is refusing to acknowledge this, but we'll see if this matters.

Head of the "Donets'k" territorial command's been sacked. Syrsky is trying to micromanage the Pokrovs'k sector himself to avoid further breakthroughs. A scandal is brewing in the Uki MoD due to multiple thousands of faulty mortar mines being supplied to the frontline. Yuri Butusov is accusing local military command for "letting the enemy take the hardpoints S of pokrovs'k without a fight" due to lack of control and coordination between units. Sigh.


Z-heads are in an uproar, b/c the new commander of OC "South" is ordering confiscation of all un-registered vehicles being used by rank-and-file in the frontline zones. Thus soldiers who brought their personal cars, or are using those bought by volunteers, are hiding them from military police. supply to the front is mostly being done on foot, or bicycles. Sometimes, taxi drivers from Donets'k are hired to run evac from frontlines.

According to Tom Cooper, the orcs are short-handed in manufacturing glide bomb kits- meaning their use has fall by at least a factor of 2. They are also running their Su fighter/bombers ragged, and they lack the capacity to refurbish them fast enough.
Speaking of which, HUR claims to have burned a Su-30 in Krasnodar Krai.

Despite all this doom and gloom, we aren't seeing any actual slowdown in their push. Gotta keep up appearances of the indomitable machine for when the new people take over in DC.

Kadyrov spoke out against the head of police and Investigative committee over the detention of a Chechen teen in Moscow; Z-heads and some regional deputees openly spoke out against his condemnation, which is somewhat new, as previously Muscovites were generally afraid to debate anyhing with Kadyrov; However, Putler subsequently gave him another Hero's medal, so I'm guessing that's Moscow's most recent peace offering for this grave insult.
