Hello and Welcome to this the 7th week of Juche 112, and welcome back to our weekly discussion thread. Please come in make yourself comfertable, just please close the door, it has hinges for a reason, we are not going to heat/cool the entire world, and enjoy this weekly discussion thread!
Did you know, we have our own Matrix home server? https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org. Need more information about Matrix? There is a thread about that very topic located right here
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
So there’s a video going around the net. Supposedly Wagner soldiers adress the MoD and criticize it for “cutting them off from supply lines” and not providing them with enough artillery and tank munitions. IF the video is real, and those are indeed Wagner soldiers, there are two matters of note:
It comes on top of several stories of the same soldiers being victorious in several battles, capturing villages and crossroads. Often after heavy fighting. This begs the question of visibility of the Wagner group and the nerve to address the MoD in this fashion (compared to reports from regular army). It almost looks like a PR campaign.
Apparently Wagner, a “private security firm” as it is listed legally, has its own howitzer artillery, anti-tank artillery, friggin tanks, fighter jets and air defences. Sounds a bit too much for people not part of the military.
