  1. Bombed out apartments, kid on a stretcher. http://
  2. It’s also just self-defeating. Why destroy the place where 12,000 people you desire to rule worked? (Great way to entrench an insurgency is to destroy jobs) Is it because you don’t want to rule them, you just want to murder them so you can take their land and they no longer compete with you in the international marketplace? Again illustrating that none of this is about liberation, it’s about a scorched earth policy of murdering a neighbor to enrich themselves because they think they can get away with it. On the bright side, when this is over and back in Ukrainian hands in a few months, the Ukrainians will have access to tons of capital to rebuild a nice modern plant in its place with western technology, and erase all of the memories of the old Soviet times.
  3. This is a complete spoiled brat move. Showing the “we hate Ukrainians more than we love Russians living in eastern Ukraine” ethos. http://
  4. Stay class Duma: http://
  5. A little overkill to use an ATGM. Lotta pork there. http://
  6. This is like a Dr. J Tomahawk dunk: http://
  7. I’m concerned the wounded are going to the DPR or the Russians : (
  8. Best drone grenade attack of the day so far, with dead orcs. http://
  9. Good article on how the Alligator has the shakes: http:// https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/russias-ka-52-attack-helicopters-have-got-a-serious-vibration-problem
  10. LEROY JENKINNNSSS!!!!
  11. Looks like a “Just add ice” cocktail kit.
  12. Have you seen Putin’s yacht and house by Sochi? ~$2+ Billion on just those two line items. I don’t know exactly how many T-72’s you could refurbish, overhaul, upgrade, etc. with $2B; but I’m pretty sure it’s “all of them”. I believe someone said Putin’s yacht cost more to build that a replacement Moskva would.
  13. Regarding tourism and investment: Cartels : Mexico :: Kremlin : Russia It’s a wet blanket on foreign investment when the legal system doesn’t work, the cops work for the criminals, and tourists sometimes get held hostage.
  14. The UA artillery is just relentlessly carving up the orcs. http:// http://
  15. Artillery getting dialed in with finishing cook-off: http://
  16. I’m guessing that the orcs are in a fairly disorganized retreat/re-alignment and don’t have much air support or AA in place, so the UA pilots are getting in on the Safari.
  17. At this point the Swiss and Austrians are “Free Riders” on NATO to use the economic description, and I think Switzerland at least is starting to recognize that and talk about maybe addressing the issue
  18. Agree, I was just going to use Zeihan’s descriptor “FUCKED!!!111!!” to describe Russia’s economic future under Putin. The thing Zeihan doesn’t allow for much in his analysis is pivoting/adaptation/improvisation of people to their current situation. I think Russia will be miserable until Putin is gone, then maybe a few more years of one more hanger-on to KGB paranoia/lying/distopian dictator (seems like Medvedev is auditioning to resume his prior role) and then it’s mini-revolution time, at which point things could get better. The article I posted earlier today hit on this, if Russia would just be publicly contrite, own this shit, and show the world it’s never going to happen again by de-nuclearizing and downsizing their armed forces to a defensive only operation (following the Germany/Japan model) I think the world will be happy to resume extracting natural resources from them.
  19. We straightened Turkey out: “NATO and the United States said on Sunday they were confident Turkey would not hold up membership of Finland and Sweden in the Western military alliance, as the two Nordic states took firm steps to join in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.” http:// https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/nato-expects-turkey-not-hold-up-finland-sweden-membership-bids-2022-05-15/
  20. The most “wait for it” combat clip yet; also gets my vote for best secondaries. Lucky the didn’t lose the drone in the secondaries, only 150m up.
  21. Suppressed 300BLK with big subsonics would be almost unfair from ~200 meters up. You could probably drop 2-3 orcs before the rest even figured out something was going on.
  22. Good thread here. Various sources predicting a collapse of the Russian army sometime in June-August. http://
  23. Decent article: http:// https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-russia-needs-to-be-humiliated-in-ukraine
