Lot's of chatter on the Bakhmut front these last 24 hours. I get the feeling that something big is going down as there's a lot of noise, but alse a thick fog of war. Some reports showing Russians are as far around as Krasna Hora

They should send home all men of fighting age, Russian and Ukranian. Failing that, set up some kind of reality TV show where Russian cowards are forced to fight Ukranian cowards in some kind of Running Man style event. The winner gets MRE's for the rest of the week.

Greg Johnson has mentioned rumors among top Alt Right personalities that if you said the right things, bags of Russian and/or Iranian money would appear. However, I don't think that he has ever accused anyone specifically, even though most of his rivals are pro-Russian.
I think that the Russian strategy is generally more sophisticated. Coach Red Pill has appeared on RT to repeat Russian talking points as a 'Western analyst' so that RT can claim that Westerners actually agree with Russia and are oppressed by their governments. CRP got a huge ego boost out of it and gained hundreds of thousands of followers. Before the war, he was completely irrelevant and doing his retarded 'Project Mayhem' which taught people how to commit petty vandalism to stop the Covid vaccines. When he disappeared it was a very big story that was even covered by some conservatives.
Paying someone like CRP would only create risks for Russia. People like him are usually blabbermouths who couldn't keep a secret even if their life depended on it. Everyone in his sphere has had their fucking Discord, Telegram, chat, etc. leaked at some point. He's willing to do it for free already and if he occasionally gets a TV appearance and is made to feel important, he will work even harder. He probably makes a decent income now that he has a relatively large audience. When SecureServer was hacked last year, it was revealed that some of the top Q 'influencers' made more than a million from subscriptions alone.
I believe that Russian propaganda is more about spreading lies and misinformation in the West and tailoring it so that it spreads organically. If a real Western paper mentions the increase in gas prices, they will make that their headline and neglect to mention that the original article also tried to explain how the problem was being solved. Sometimes the original article or headline is provocative enough that they will just share it as is, to avoid the stigma of being from RT. Nowadays Western journos are desperate for clicks and 90% of people don't read past the headline, so it probably works well. The whole meme about Germans chopping down forests to secure firewood for winter is a good example of how real articles about hysteria were turned into evidence for the West's imminent collapse.
Once a meme has been established, they create 'funny' viral videos to amplify it.
This one was created for a Russian audience, but I have seen it shared countless times in Western pro-Russian spaces.

Su-24 MR wreck somewhere in the Donbass-this may have been near Kramatorsk or Krasny Liman as reported by Russian MoD. The OP said the pilot didn't make it. RIP Ukie fighter pilot.
Yes, the AFU is redeploying units from other areas-its been reported Wagner broke through the fortifications at Opytnoye, and its just one of the positions RF have taken over in the area recently. Details are sparse, on both sides.

I don't understand why so many seething faggots have taken sides so passionately in this conflict when it has literally nothing to do with them and will not affect them in any way whatsoever. If you're not Russian or Ukranian why care so much?

Losers who have nothing going on for them in their personal lives need something to live vicariously through. It's the same reason people cheer for sports teams ("If the team I'm cheering for wins, then that's like if I win!") and follow celebrity gossip ("If I know all this stuff about famous people, then it's almost like I'm famous!"). Because it's war and politics, people can pretend they're being more mature for doing it than the people who do it with sports and gossip.

I'd treat the Krasna Hora reports with a healthy degree of skepticism, but at the very least it looks like Russia has been doing a few thunder runs of their own. Waiting to see where this settles down; Russia has pushed up pretty far before but couldn't hold their gains.
I am not a NTSB auditor, but that doesn't look fresh.

You don't need to get money the old fashioned way, you could just get numerous "random" donations and gifts from "viewers" that just happen to be aligned with Kremlin and have close ties with its regime. There's also crypto.
The Russian propaganda inside what passes as Western far right circles is extremely persistent, obvious and it is done with the least respect for reality very often, i.e. people risk their reputations by lying for a for a foreign regime.
It's not just the right, there are a lot of anti-war "left" types that are essentially on the same page and making the same arguments, minus the praise for Putin's trad thing, which conveniently gets ignored. It includes big names like Glenn Greenwald, fossils like Noam Chomsky, entire outlets like The Grayzone and more. Usually these accounts concentrate on liberal hypocrisy vs Azov and Nazis and paint Ukraine as a murderous place where innocent Russians and minorities are tortured and genocided.
Most of these outlets and people lie by exclusion first, i.e. they paint a limited picture for naive Westerners that have no idea what East Europe is and easily swallow gross generalizations about 30-40M people or so, but they also make shit up at times.
What makes their views suspicious is their consistency. For months, everything they said landed in the pro-Russian side, sometimes explicitly so, without finding any redeeming qualities for Ukraine and without giving those 40M people any agency of their own - they are but pawns that can be killed, land be taken from etc. without a care in the world. Meanwhile they humanize the Russians and create a diverse tapestry full of nuance when it comes to describing Russia.
Such consistency, for so many people, for so many months (sometimes years) cannot be accidental, nor the result of exquisite Russian propaganda. People have to eat and clothe, people are greedy.
All of this should be investigated, and I am somewhat sure the intelligence agencies are already doing it, they'd be stupid not to, as this is essentially enemy infiltration. US/EU are at war with Russia in every way minus troops on the ground and shooting at each other, time to act like it.

"Hey Greigor, I need you to stop taking mortars and fighting the guys who have invaded your home, killed your friends, killed, raped, and disappeared your countrymen while targeting the civilian infrastructure in the middle of winter for a minute and step into my office. I've got some reports you're saying some bad things about the Russian troops that are here looting and raping. We need you to really tone down that harsh language."

I didn't say they can't fight the Russians, now did I? But if you are starting to have weird murder fantasies to a point where if you don't fufil them, it kills your day, well, then something is unwell with you.

Quite correct, many have said the same; nevertheless. the MoD reported two aircraft, a MiG-29 and/or Su-24, plus a couple of Mil Mi-8 this morning. Exact details are fuzzy at the moment since there a lot going on but its at least two planes and two helis. Also, it seems people reporting this are not familiar with the aircraft in use by either side, so there's confusion if these were Su-24, 25, 29 or MiG-26 planes. Definitely fog of war going like @CaptainAutism69 said.

I thought we were raging because Ukraine posted a speech-controlling bill? I'm not able to keep up.

No this is the thread where everyone rages because they inexplicably care who gets to sell gas to the Germans.

Perun released a video exploring the ideas Russia and Ukraine are running out of artillery ammo. https://youtu.be/deK98IeTjfY
A bit interesting and he always backs things up with sources. Apparently Russian artillery is of low quality while consumption rates are outpacing production. Russia won’t “run out” so much as it would be constrained by production and shipping from other sources. Ukraine is in worse shape because they’re dependent on NATO shipment and production which has been gutted by years of peace.
