HipKat Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly appointed General Aleksandr Dvornikov as the new commander for his invasion of Ukraine, with one former U.S. military official likening him to an "executioner." Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Mark Hertling, a retired U.S. Army general and former Commanding General of the U.S. Army in Europe, discussed Dvornikov's past in the Russian military and explained why he seems to fit Putin's desired strategy in Ukraine. Currently serving as the commander for Russia's southern military district, which includes regions like Chechnya and Crimea, Hertling explained that Dvornikov is well-versed in campaigns involving attacks on civilians and the sowing of chaos. "The way he has conducted combat operations in the past has caused him to be... [perceived as] the kind of executioner we've seen prosecute these kinds of campaigns where there's an awful lot of civilian attacks, civilian destruction, [and] chaos on populations, both in Syria and Grozny," the retired general said. "So this is the guy who's going to be asked to deliver success before the [May 9th], Mayday Parade in Moscow." Dvornikov was the first Russian commander of the Russian army during its intervention in Syria in 2015 and, according to the BBC, played a key role in Russia's bombardment efforts in the country in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Gwythian Prins, a military strategy expert who's advised NATO, spoke to the BBC about the reported appointment of Dvornikov and said that his background indicates a continued focus on the strategy of terrorizing the Ukrainian people, after its initial plans failed to secure a decisive victory. Hertling added, however, that it remains unclear if Dvornikov will be able to deliver on Putin's goals, despite his background and experience, due to the Russian military's lack of forces in Ukraine's eastern region. CNN previously reported that forces are regrouping in the east, with plans to advance towards the city of Kharkiv, which is the country's second-largest city. Hertling cast doubt on those reports, noting that it would be difficult for the Russian forces to move to the eastern regions and conduct new attacks given the severe loss of soldiers and equipment they have experienced so far. "This isn't like Stratego or a video game," the retired general explained. "Those forces have been mauled and they're in very bad shape. You just can't regenerate and say we're gonna send them into battle once again. It's gonna take a long time, if they're ever able to get those forces combat operational again. So I think Ukraine has a very good shape." Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production.

Herodotus Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I know this guy, he destroyed our religious extremists in Syria. Now he is going to wipe out our nazis. Sucks to be them, but it means that the Zelensky regime and the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization's latest op is going to get crushed now.

Herodotus Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Me, a Russian Troll? I'm flattered. Nah, I am a Russophile, but I do it out an anti-fascist/anti-McCarthyist bent that comes from deep within my soul. That said, yeah tis true, this guy stamped out our Islamic Extremist buds in Syria and now he will be dismantling our Nazi experiment in Ukraine. Unfortunately, Ukraine will look a lot like Syria by the time its over, but the Nazis will be gone and the Ukrainians can build a democracy and live in peace. Its okay to trash Russian Generals, I mean I understand, you would have demanded sanctions and arms sales and boots on the ground in Jan and Feb 1945 to punish the Russians for Invading Germany and you would have condemned Zhukov, Konev, Rokossovsky, Chuikov, Rotmistrov, et al. . . .

Nah, he is preconditioned by a psyop that has -with slight interruptions from 1941-1945 and again in the early 1990s - gone on for 105 years. I don't harbor him or Lit ill will. I realize that they are heavily indoctrinated and brainwashed, and as the late great meathead used to say "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their sense slowly, one by one." I mean I understand how asking questions and going against the grain is a difficult thing to do, but it is something that must be done.

It goes like this... "Reports" claim Russian soldiers rape babies then roast them over and open fire and eat their flesh." "These are merely self-serving accusations."

Correction. Russia media, which is controlled by the Russian government, claims a Russian solider that was on video raping babies has been arrested by his own country.

What existential threat do the 900 NAZI's in Ukraine pose to Russia? I realize that Russia is struggling mightily to kill them in a full out war, but that doesnt mean they had any plans to invade Russia.
