      Yeah… And the second source cited in article, VChK-OGPU “outlet” is an anonymous channel in Telegram, that published information from “an anonymous source”. Doesn’t sound trustworthy.

        He’s a Pro-Ukrainian Mil-blogger which at first blush would seem to suggest he’s a good guy, but, one of the first things that comes up when searching the name is him claiming Russia was planning on attacking Japan (a country which has a defence pact with the US) in '21 which strains his credulity credibility.

        he made loads of wild bullshit claims, all without evidence, such as that putin has terminal cancer, or reports of Ukrainians using weapons that were delivered only months to year later

      Are you claiming Newsweek is not reputable? I bet you also think Fox News is fake news. Or New^s York Times is clickbait. News is right there in the title, game over. /s

      Railways are actually super important though. They can transport more cargo than any other means. Especially heavy stuff like artillery guns and armored vehicles. It doesn’t matter if you have 10,000 Artillery guns, if you can’t get them to the front.

        I… don’t think many people around here want more Russian artillery guns at the front…

        Cargo ships would like to have a word with you.

          The large cargo ships famously need large amounts of water. For getting material to the Frontlines it’s either rail or road.

            Okay, but I wasn’t discussing or quoting you on anything relating to war material. Just your assertion about cargo in general!

            Also…

            Sounds like you haven’t heard about viking cargo ships on logs!

    Russia doesn’t really have an extensive road system, to those unfamiliar. The rail system does the work a highway system would in America, so if this is true and it starts having massive outages things will get very dire very fast.

    Ah yes, the third year of imminent Russian collapse.

    Russia is shit at pretty much everything that they do except for their specialties such as war crimes and FAS. They will lose the war and they won’t have a minute of happiness for the next century like they didn’t for the last few.

    Reality is already laughing at them, there is no need to overblow it.

      Then we’ll find that Russia can function just fine in a collapsed state. Not for any measure of human wellbeing, though as they say, never underestimate the Russian people’s capacity for suffering. It’ll be a miserable, decrepit orc kingdom, but will still be able to do a lot of damage with just the blunt force of its mass.
