  1. Lately it feels like either they've really worn down air defenses, or they are doing something different, but it seems like they are hitting targets multiple times. It's not a single drone or missile flying into something or making it through air defenses, it's 2 or more. And you'd think Russia would protect their airfields a little better (even though the aircraft that was hit was not actively helping in Ukraine, it's still a loss of an airframe that probably won't be replaced).
  2. Fucking amateurs don't know when they've been played. They walk into a room wondering who the mark is.
  3. Pete Hegseth was a major and he will always be a major no matter if he's Secretary of Defense.
  4. Gavin is out there certainly shitting on Trump every chance he gets but Trump is mostly ignoring him, so Kelly is going to get the bump in the rankings now that Trump and the major are going after him.
  5. Like I said, it’s a distraction, which they need after the two legal losses today, They all keep leaving out that he was talking about illegal orders. Could be also using it to keep him out of the Senate briefly as well.
  6. Completely unhinged and undisciplined. When we get closer to the Epstein deadline next month, shits going to get even crazier.
  7. Nope, nobody cares. https://www.austinmaroons.com
  8. Oh it’s all about him saying not to follow illegal orders, but they’ll couch it in terms of him trying to interfere or whatever they want to call it. And the White House is doubling down.
  9. Others have mentioned this, but still feels anecdotal. The body armor and helmets.
  10. Can’t believe Musk hasn’t shut this down yet, so many accounts are being exposed.
  11. Adolf Hitler Uunona is easily winning re-election, but he still promises no genocide or world domination.
  12. Looks like they have it dialed in as far as knowing where air defense is at.
  13. Is this just Ukraine messing with them or just a target of opportunity? Wonder why the Russians had it within range.
  14. Yeah, but maybe they should build submarines out of their SD cards.
  15. It does allow them to sweep this shit under the rug. Arguably this maybe what's behind the attack on Senator Kelly - try and get the base distracted from Comey/Leticia.
  16. Yep. The fact that they are getting caught up in this petty little bullshit is good for us though, and good for the Venezuelans, as it's distracting Donnie from doing far worse things. When you watch the video, it's clear the six knew exactly where the line was and didn't cross it. They were very careful not to say disobey lawful orders.
  17. By design. Those six said something that really caught the attention of service members and the administration is pretending like that word was not used. I don't even think he'll get called back. Hedgehog is trying to insult/threaten with the "Commander" remark, but I doubt a military judge is going to have a problem with anything said by Kelly. This is all bluster, just lashing out. Won't matter in a few weeks when we attack Venezuela anyways.
  18. Russians have upped their game, going from attacking Ukrainian apartment buildings to Russian apartment buildings In the middle of a Pink Floyd concert, gunfire broke out.
  19. Hedgehog getting spicey and trying to demote him while Trump is posting AI videos of the six behind bars. "Five of the six individuals in that video do not fall under @DeptofWar jurisdiction," Hegseth wrote on social media. "However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ—and he knows that." “The video made by the ‘Seditious Six’ was despicable, reckless, and false," Hegseth wrote. “Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of ’good order and discipline.'"
  20. Russia’s economy has turned into a militarized, "two-speed" system in which the military-industrial complex and war rents prop up growth by draining resources from the private sector and normal civilian industries. Russian economy and the Russian regions are kept afloat by the war and state procurement, while the civilian sector and most regions are slipping into stagnation. Rising incomes and employment are essentially a bubble inflated by federal spending and a labor shortage, and by 2026 regional budgets risk falling into the red - meaning that ending the war without deep restructuring will almost certainly trigger a new, severe economic collapse. The reforms and structural changes needed to escape this trap are politically out of reach for the Kremlin. As a result, the regime’s goal is not to prevent a crisis, but to avert a collapse: prolong the "neither war nor peace" mode withing the country for as long as possible while maintaining high military spending; intensify manual redistribution of resources in favor of the defense sector and "loyal" regions; mask the deterioration in living standards with statistics and propaganda; rely on gray export schemes and partial sanction relief without changing course. In this context, Moscow’s interest in "peace negotiations" is not an attempt to end the war, but an effort to secure a favorable pause: to freeze the front and its territorial seizures, extract partial sanctions relief, and buy time to stretch out the inevitable crisis into a long, managed stagnation of the wartime economy.
