  14. d Interesting to see Maartje still active. She and Sanne V looked like sisters, but Sanne V had a much better career at the time. Now Sanne is mainly a youtuber with over a million subs.
  15. I noticed that a couple models cut their hair shot at around the same time, I wonder why. Lizz's brow wrinkle problem might be due to how thin she is and it would disappear if she gained weight.

  17. a further remarkable incident is that in today's message Putin confirmed the death of russian pilots, meaning that the footage of the crashed aircraft was likely real. It is not clear how many aircraft was shot down. More Russian aircraft was lost against Wagner in 1 day than in 1 month against Ukraine lol. "Wagner forces may have shot down up to three Mi-8 MTPR electronic warfare helicopters, one Mi-8 helicopter, one Ka-52 helicopter, one Mi-35 helicopter, one Mi-28 helicopter, and one An-26/Il-28 transport aircraft, resulting in the deaths of at least 13 pilots and airmen - and one of the single deadliest days for the Russian air force of the war in Ukraine to date.[11]"

  19. It seems like nobody knows, there's just a ton of conspiracy theories.. What was big news before the incident (besides the consolidation of the mercenaries) was the increased size of the Russian army by 166,000 men. 40+ separate volunteer units, 5 new regiments, 1 new army, and 1 new corps. The new 40th Army corps and the 25th Combined Armes army is now operational. Besides this Wagner PMC was refitting was slated to finish by August 2023.
  20. There's a liberal and hawkish side to the Russian conduct of the war in Ukraine. The 'liberal establishment' side is Putin-Peskov-Gerisimov-Shoigu. They want to fight the war in Ukraine with minimal costs and minimal manpower, spend most of the funding for years reforming & expanding the army. The war will continue over a long period of time (years) until Ukraine-NATO surrenders to a Pro-Russian peace deal. IF they do not surrender, they will finish it off with a decisive second invasion after they are ready with the rebuilding process. The war would be managed with the economic and political side far outweighing the military side. This is why the economic side of the war has been much better managed than the military. The two sides inherently conflict with each other. Putin wants the war to be Russia's side war, kind of like a war that the average people do not pay too much attention to and don't see as an existential threat. The 'hawks' are people like Prizoghin, and Medvedev (ex president and deputy head of the security council). These are people who find the half-asleep military conduct of the war unacceptable. Some want a second mobilization so Russia has numerical parity or even superiority over Ukraine. The implication is that they want a bigger and more offensively based war. This economic and political pressure is not what Putin & Shoigu wants. As the war is dragging on, the hawks are gaining more traction in Russia.
