Careful, Eric. Wouldn't want to be called a war criminal again, would you?

Just turning the argument around. Like trampolines.

At least they properly sized the helmet this time.

 

[Sarty]

I would have assumed that Rogozin concluded he reached for power and ultimately could not hold it, but he must surely be well-off enough he could put his head down and go crash in his dacha in retirement. Wouldn't you think?

I certainly have little respect for Rogozin, but I don't think he's a completely abject fool. It says something interesting about internal politics that he wants to be anywhere near that clusterfuck.

I'm not ashamed to admit that was the first thing I looked for.

He has Big Giuliani Energy, which implies a significant degree of foolishness.

Then I suppose it's a good thing he's in the Donbas, instead of being in Russia.

 

[EricBerger]

I do think it's a bit iffy to quote your own tweet in an article.

Some people might even go so far as to say it's a war crime ...

"We don't have gear for you, conscript. You can take it off the Ukrainians! Also, after you take it off the Ukrainians, the Wagnerites will shoot you for wearing NATO gear. So... be ready for that, I guess."

 

[RobTheRenderer]

Ol' Dmitry probably pooped all over those nice NATO fatigues he's wearing when he heard that Prigozhin was taking potshots at him.

 

[DougF]

At least Rogozin's found a helmet that fits...

Perhaps, he's just following the example of his leader... https://nypost.com/2022/12/02/putin-fell-down-stairs-soiled-himself-amid-health-woes-report/

Smart move. I don't think Ukraine is going to be too eager to honor Russian extradition requests any time soon.

 

[SharpieFiend]

Rogozin has money and he wants to be well equipped - of course he doesn't go for Russian gear.

 

[Jimmy the Geek]

"Of course I am wearing NATO gear! Russian-made gear all fits person who wears tiny hard hat!"

-- Dmitry Rogozin, maybe

Huh, I wasn't aware Армоком made their ЛШЗ‑1 helmets in 5XL size – must have been a special order?

I can’t find any reputable paper reporting that, just Murdoch outlets.

 

[AusPeter]

Wagner Group soldiers are well-trained to identify those attired in NATO clothing. They are prepared to kill any such people on sight.

Nothing like an honest, non-veiled threat

There’s a breed of people who can’t figure out when to quit.

I miss the old forums, I could upvote that as 'funny' and someone would have already posted the relevant image.

Yeah, but since this is not a scientific or technology-based article, and more a "let's have fun at Rogozin's expense", it'll pass.

 

[ardent]

There is only one response that we could ever find appropriate to the situation in which Dmitry Olegovich finds himself in: "Blyatiful."

 

[Static and Noise]

"Prigozhin also took a gratuitous shot at the quality of Russian rockets and satellites during Rogozin's tenure at Roscosmos, which lasted from May 2018 to July 2022, and saw several high-profile failures."

"Hahaha, don't we suck at advanced tech?" is an odd attempt at a burn.

The West: "Yup, you sure do!"
Russians: "Yup, we sure do..."

I hope our our old mate Dimitry learns to develop a healthy fear of windows: the risk of defenestration seems high.

You can't fall out of a fifth-story window if you're knee-deep in Ukrainian mud /rollsafe.jpg

I wonder if this clown show performs on the trampoline?

 

[tRexx]

War cosplay for the higher ups while the hapless die as cannon fodder on cold foreign battlefields. Yep, that sounds like Russia.

"All these bastards ought to be sent to the front barefoot with just a submachine gun."

that machine gun would be more than what they are giving their front-line now...

But you can have a fight-story window fall on you

 

[arcite]

Russians are leaving their fallen comrades to rot in Ukrainian fields. The Ukraine invasion is a fatalist enterprise, instigated by a dying regime.

 

[dlux]

Rogozin's uniform isn't the only problem he's tangled up in:

Rogozin claims that Russians once considered Nazi Germany their brotherly nation.

(Incidentally, Julia Davis' translations of Russian state media is both astonishing and shocking when you witness the propaganda the Russian people are subjected to. It makes America's Fox News seem like Sesame Street. Highly recommended for those trying to understand Russia's gestalt.)

Rogozin's big head will be an easy target for the Ukrainians snipers!

I don't think he has much choice; he's on the US sanctions list, which makes it quite difficult for him to leave Russia with his money and retire quietly in Chile or Malaysia or Belize. And while he's in Russia he pretty much has to do what Putin asks him to, and Putin doesn't want him to retire quietly.
