I mean, it's their fault but it's not their fault all at the same time. The Russian "system" is just different and really alien to us. The "social contract" between the Russian ruling class (whether it's Czarist Russian, the USSR, Klepto-Democratic Russia, or now the Putin Regime) is "I don't care about power and politics, but I expect you to leave me alone and Russia to be strong". So they're told what they want to be told by the Putin regime (the west is afraid of us, Russia Stronk, the EU is decadent and weak, Ukraine isn't a real country they're just Russians we need to free from fascists and the west) that aligns with all of their long term cultural beliefs.

The problems start when the dildo of reality arrives without lube and breaks the agreed upon fantasy.

Perhaps that dildo has arrived.

Enjoy comrades. You miserable fucks.

Wait till Putin panics and starts punishing you for his failures. They will be taking it from both ends.

This might be, but probably isn't from the same group that took Sudzha. Rylsk is about 50km north of Sudzha, probably even a fair bit out from the drone bubble the Ukies are running ahead of these bridage moves (10km buffer according to online chatter). So I'm assuming for the moment that this is the second column the Russian telegram channels were talking about yesterday and it's now joined the fun. Rylsk is 40km from the border.
