That price is married to the grand daughter of former King Abdulaziz Al Saud. So I’d say he has some clout and say in the Kingdom and their doings.

Russian forces in Ukraine under pressure as Kherson towns to be evacuated
"The situation in the area of the 'Special Military Operation' can be described as tense," Sergei Surovikin, an air force general named this month to command Russia's invasion forces, told the state-owned Rossiya 24 television news channel.”
It wouldn’t be so tense if you were all dead or not in Ukraine. Still, surprised that the new Russian in charge of the “special military operation” would be so candid.

No, it is Crown Prince and Prime Minister Muhammad Bin Salman.
Would be a real shame if something happened to them à la Saky airfield.
Maybe a Tochka salvo, if they are located.
Russian buildings are killing more Russians than the Ukrainians. We can add one more to the list soon..,

U.S. says Iranian troops "directly engaged" in Crimea, backing Russian drone strikes
The way the headline read, made me think the Iranians were struck, but it just means they are engaging in combat. Less exciting, but still noteworthy.

I think we’ve got some Iranian copper we picked up in Iraq that we’d be happy to give back to them in Ukraine.
Remember when the Russian rhetoric an the beginning of the invasion, was all about removing "Nazi" elements in Ukraine ?
A couple months ago, it switched kind of in a conceding way, to incapacitation of the Ukr government and military.
Now we have reached a point, where total collapse and starvation of the entire populace is not only being openly suggested, but regarded as the only option, because they "were forced to do so as the Ukrainians/West want to destroy them".
Typical, almost comicaly stereotypical Russian victimhood at it's absolute peak, whenever things aren't going their way. Reaching in every way to justify further and further escalation and their mindset. It's become so ludicrous, that even some of their Yes-men start to question that behaviour.
But who knows, maybe those cracks spread further, if they aren't just for show. One can hope.

The Russians are smoking so much copium even Snoop Dogg is telling them to slow down.
What does concern me is how they are slowly working their way towards options more vile than starving the populace. It is like these guys are grooming the Russian people for open atrocities while also testing the West's response to these "random" or "isolated" thoughts.

At what point do the Russian war drums begin to "beat retreat"?

In the longer version ( link ), they recover 16 dead Russians from that trench. Wonder if they just didn't have AT weapons.
Here's some intense footage of a Russian Su-25 pilot ejecting after being hit, also recording of a recent Su-34 crash.

I'm guessing the concept of CSAR has to be virtually non-existent there?
This guy makes some great video's.

So this weekend Ukrain defeated Czech Republic in Rugby in the European Trophy. Rugby hasn't been played in Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Most rugby clubs and their players answered the call and mobilized. Most of the national team players are likely going to return to the front.
