  • The Russian mobilised from prisons are trucked to special units made up of criminals who are sent straight to the front line to die in human wave attacks.

    These are small unarmored units with light weapons only. They are sent in waves consisting of many small groups of around six across a long area of frontline. They die in huge numbers and if they turn around and retreat they are killed by other Russians themselves, in what is known as ‘blocking units’.

    The entire point of their deaths is to spread Ukrainian soldiers and widely as possible and to constantly test the Ukrianian fortification for weakness.

    If they find any, bigger infantry units are sent with support from a light armored vehicle with heavier weapons.

    This tactic also applies to other people Russia considers disposable. Ethnic minorities such as Buryats, or poor people from rural villages.




  • I cant read past the first paragraph because of paywall. If the author hasn’t come to the conclusion that it’s because of all the fucking cars they need to reassess.

    Walking to places and randomly running into people who can become acquaintances, then friends is difficult or impossible in places with cars as the primary transport.

    Meeting in ‘third places’ is no longer easy because all of those areas are gone or dying due to car based infrastructure.

    Town and city public meetung spaces are dying or gone due to car based infrastructure ‘needing’ those areas for parking.
