A Russian general was killed in fighting in Ukraine earlier this week, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky, 47, was the commanding general of Russia's 7th Airborne Division and deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army. His death was confirmed Thursday by a local officers' organization in southern Russia, but the circumstances of his death remain unclear, according to the AP.

Sukhovetsky is the most senior Russian military official to have died in the conflict in Ukraine thus far.

Last I heard, the count was three. Not sure whether this is a repeat, or the count is four now?

5. "Circumstances of his death remain unclear"

Fragging?

7. Maybe he fell out of a window?

12. That seems to happen a lot

Especially to those that cross Putin in some way. Perhaps the general was not meeting expectations.

6. The price you pay

when you play invasion games. He wasn't a conscript- he knew exactly what he was doing.

8. Whe generals start dying you know it's total war and...

the Ukrainians ain't playing.

9. Who knows, he may have got it in the back of the neck for not moving fast enough.

That is always an effective message to send to the rest of your high-level staff. Get 'er done boys, or this could be you!

10. When I was a kid, if I complained about something, my parents would say:

Hearts and flowers. As I grew older, I realized this meant: tough luck.

[orwell]

11. All of these people...

...on both sides, dying for absolutely nothing.

Everyone dying for one little man's twisted ego.

All of this economic damage for one little man's delusional dream of historical empire.

All of this pain and suffering for one little man's psychotic cultural worldview.

Same as it ever was...
