I've been using this quote for a while now.
The history of Russia can be broken down into five little words.
"And then...it got worse."

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

They have spent the last century 1 step forward; two back. Which it's hard to say if it's an improvement on the century prior or not.
They really should just turn around and embrace being backwards, it would really make it all simpler.
well not 3rd but 2nd since Shoigu has decided to enter the russian guiness book by becoming the best at russian national sport: window skydiving without parachute
I read your comment and was like "oooh what did I miss?! Did Shoigu get defenestrated?" Imagine my disappointment when it turned out he hasn't taken flight yet
As far as we know.
When is the last time someone saw 'ol Sergei anyhow?
Keep hope alive.
arf I mixed my dream with reality, I was not talking about Shoigu but Prigozhin ><
Would be even funnier if it said second best in Russia, no need to complicate it.
Well,there's Wagner, who are probably loitering on a street corner, kicking dogs and watching Seagal clips on their phones.
Wagner was moved under the Russian regular military after the failed coop. So they're technically one entity now. (Not that there was ever much of a difference, it's just less now. )
Nothing worse than a failed coop. Chickens everywhere.
SHOIGUUUUU!!! WHERE ARE MY EGGS!!
This is funny, so I'm leaving my mistake
Are the Chechen counted as part of the Russian Military or separate?
The command structure is what determines separate forces, do the Chechen forces answer to the same command structures? I know from US coalition operations that the foreign forces answer to their own NCO/Officer Corp. Typically, through to the region level and have their own rules and regulations separate from the other nation forces, often operating from their own bases and really only coordinating at the colonel level or above.
To my understanding, the Chechen forces are barely allowed their own officers at the unit level, much less anything higher. I'm far from an expert on that, though, and may be wrong. If true, I wouldn't separate them, if false, maybe, as much as the separation of NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Works either way, imho
Sure, but it works better the other way.
