🪖We’re being swatted like flies” — 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿
📌 One of Russia’s most prominent war reporters, Alexander Sladkov, has just published a brutally honest reflection on the state of Russia’s campaign in Ukraine. His words echo not propaganda — but strategic disillusionment.
▪️ “We’re being beaten… I feel sorry for us.”
▪️ “The navy doesn’t even know where to hide.”
▪️ “We’re being hit by boats with BEC drones, UAVs, even from space…”
▪️ “Strike or be struck.”
📉 Tactical paralysis | 🚫 Strategic dead ends
Sladkov paints a picture of a military overwhelmed by Ukrainian innovation and Russian confusion:
⚠️ The “Black Sea Fleet” hides in fear
⚠️ The air force is outdated and irrelevant
⚠️ Russia’s military-industrial base can’t keep up with drone warfare
⚠️ Commanders are trapped in the logic of “keep striking” — with no outcome in sight
🧠 “We must let the war think for us” — a confession of strategic bankruptcy
Sladkov denounces the Kremlin's framing of the war as a swamp of false logic:
💬 “Strike those who think differently… sentence them to traitors? There’s no end to that.”
💬 “So let the war think instead. Maybe it will wash away all doubts.”
🔥 Why it matters:
When Moscow’s own propagandists abandon the narrative, it’s a signal. Ukraine’s asymmetric warfare — especially its naval and drone strikes — isn’t just inflicting damage. It’s collapsing Russian morale from the inside.
🛑 This is not just about frontlines — it’s about mindset.
Once that breaks, no number of missiles will fix it.

Incompetent leaders of 500 million Europeans expect 320 million Americans to protect them from 100 million Russians who are incapable of defeating 30 million Ukrainians in three years

Некомпетентні лідери 500 мільйоної Європи очікують щоб 320 мільйонів американців захистили їх від 100 мільйонів росіян, які не здатні перемогти 30 мільйон Українців за три роки

I’m confused. For years people complained about excessively stringent paylines @NIH reduced budgets for labs & general clunkiness of the system but now they don’t want an audit of budget allocation to reduce non-research excesses because the audit is done by guys in their 20s?

It’s been the same process not several times but virtually the entire time. It’s shocking and exhausting. Everything Ukraine asks for gets approved, only 1-2 years later, after thousands more have died and when Russia is fully prepared.

It's been the same process several times in this war: >White House insists something can't be done >Multiple excuses, some contradictory >Lots of people die >White House suddenly decides that the thing being asked is in fact possible after all, usually after russia's had time to adapt
