  1. The only problem is they aren’t doing it out of the kindness of their heart, but because these kinds of cases can lead to the end of the death penalty.
  2. The Kremlin showed Putin's festive lunch with generals from yesterday. Just notice: only Putin has food on his plate, for most others even the napkins haven't been removed from the plates. There is no wine, no champagne, not even water on the table. It's somehow not festive for them. Everyone's faces look gloomy β€”β€”- Of course, some conspiracy dipshit has to ask grok if it’s real
  3. I’m amazed that all of her departments haven’t been cut.
  4. Why are they wanting to expand Tesla so much? Is there some massive demand that cropped up recently?
  5. My middle-schooler never really cared for Mr. Rogers when he was younger, but these little mini-documentaries are helping
  6. If there's Putin, there's Russia - speaker of Russian parliament Volodin. He added that Russia rose from its knees during Putin's reign and became "the largest economy of Europe." Russia must be proud it has Putin, according to Volodin (see video). When Putin finally stops being Russia's tsar, he will leave behind millions of corpses, destroyed economy and reputation of his country. Like King Midas in reverse, Putin is bad for anything he touches. Russian propagandist Solovyev: "Putin gave us back our Motherland." In reality, under Putin's regime: Russia started the bloodiest war on the European continent since WWII; Russia has been kicked out of G8; Putin is under a search warrant from the ICC for war crimes; Russia is allies with Iran, Taliban and North Korea; NATO's border with Russia grew twice as large; Russia is losing/lost its influence in the post-Soviet space; Russian economy is officially in stagnation; all of Russia's oil and gas earnings are spent on war; Europe is committed to no longer buy Russian oil and gas; Russia has huge demographic issues; Countless Russian towns and the people in them exist in poverty and ruins; Russia is becoming a "satellite" of China; The Russian army has suffered huge losses and is no longer regarded as the "second army in the world"; A part of the Black Sea Fleet has been destroyed; the rest is shut down in Novorossiysk; A large number of Russian regions experience gas shortages. It is due to Putin's actions that propagandist Solovyev lost his Italian villa. Has he forgotten about that?
  7. They are flying drones right up under the anti-drone cages.
  8. This one is for @PTINS - just under 1,000 km from Ukraine Russian Telegram channels report an attack on a gas processing plant in Kotovo, Volgograd region of Russia. The plant specializes in processing associated petroleum gas and light hydrocarbons. Its annual capacity is about 450 million cubic meters of raw materials. The plant produces a wide fraction of light hydrocarbons and stable condensate.
  9. Ukrainian defense companies will launch new joint production projects on the territory of Denmark. This is stipulated by the Memorandum of Understanding signed today together with Danish colleagues – Minister of Defence @troelslundp, Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs @mfMorten, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars @larsloekke The Memorandum provides for Ukrainian defense companies to start production in Denmark, establish joint facilities, exchange technologies, and attract EU financing for the implementation of joint projects. The signing of the Memorandum is a major step toward forming a new security system in Europe and strengthening the defense-industrial capacities of our countries. During the war, jointly produced equipment will support Ukraine’s Defense Forces. In the long term, Ukrainian solutions and experience in the field of security will also strengthen the defense capabilities of our allies.
  10. I always forget this one, and my middle-schooler loved it, as did his friends. Never read them, but from conversations and glancing through, it does a good job of bridging from the younger chapter books up to the Harry Potter/Percy Jackson level.
  11. He’s got a bigger body count though,
  12. Good thing nobody considers us to be a Christian nation.
  13. I saw some air defense exercises at Fort Bliss/White Sands 30 years ago, but nothing like this. Holy shit.
  14. US warned about possible attack on its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela says Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday his government had warned Washington of a "false flag operation" by "extremist sectors of the local Venezuelan right" to plant explosives at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. The White House and State Department did not immediately reply to requests for comment. Venezuela's National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez originally reported the plot on Sunday in a message on his Telegram account, saying that the alleged plans had been reported to the United States through three different channels. ----- We are talking occasionally about Trump using Venezuela to distract from various domestic problems, sounds like Maduro is using Trump to do the same.
  15. It's worse when you watch it.
  16. Not to revive an old thread, and NSIAP, and I don't know if I saw this here on another thread or it just bubbled up in my YouTube algorithms, but how about Marty Robbins, as sung by Merle Haggard?
  17. Assaults are done in 2- or 3-man teams. Massed formations are no longer a thing in many areas because of drones (which I guess parallels WWI and massed formations running into machine guns). I know the US is training for drone warfare, but I still don't think we are even close to being prepared for something on this scale. In theory, we would wipe out the leadership and command & control. When Ukraine drops the Kerch bridge, I don't know how Russia will be able to keep their forces in Crimea supplied - Ukraine has hit plenty of stuff in the Azov sea, and the land bridge/rail lines are within reach of the smaller drones. And then there's this, which has to have the Chinese sweating bullets Ukraine’s Sea Drones Are Now Launching Unjammable Fiber-Optic Drones I feel confident that Taiwan is taking notes (and probably supplying a lot of components on some level). The Chinese are using cruise liners as their troop transports, and those things are slow as hell and have a massive radar signatures. Easy pickings for drones when they have to cross almost 100 miles of open ocean.
