  1. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/03/2/7327539/ Russia’s secret documents: war in Ukraine was to last 15 days OLENA ROSHCHINA — WEDNESDAY, 2 MARCH 2022, 19:40
  2. To be fair, his trip around the moon of fascism fear may have also been sponsored by Reddit
  3. Yo, dawg, I heard you like taxes, so we added some tax to your taxes so you can get taxed while you Texas.
  4. Edit: my Twitshit shit is late
  5. If that "40 mile train" grew from 17 miles over the weekend, how much of it was added by Belarusans? No fuel, cold days and nights, snow is still falling and the ground is thawed. It's mudstuck hell off that road, and you can't shuttle a bridge ahead.
  6. Needs more cyka blyat
  7. I feel a bit naaive for posting this but was already aware of the geographical interest Russia had with narrowing their NATO defensive front over the Eastern European Plain. What was new to me is that Ukraine is also ripe with shale gas and potentially recoverable crude deposits. Forward to 12:32 if the embedded timestamp in the link below doesn't work. Cliffs: The 'breakaway' regions are precisely in the discovered rich oil deposit regions. Crimea has access to large gas discovered deposit regions. Russia is a large gas station economically. The entire region is crucial to land defense of the Russian state because geography. Ukraine'ss discovered/known oil/gas deposits would make them the 2nd most important in Europe after Russia and 14th largest in the world. Ukraine is set to compete with Russia selling to Europe and ripe for Western petrochemical partnership/development.
  8. Ask him when he thinks the Belarusians arrive
  9. Well, those aren't the rail guns I was looking for.
  10. Without researching, what part of the plain means more for cultural and agricultural value? Anything East of the Dnieper might just be considered an extension of the Russian 'heartland,' where 80% of its population resides.
  11. They're not precision-guided and have an effective range of 30km or less. There are a ton of bridges for them to cross before they can enter a population center like Kyiv
  12. St Javelin or NLAW works the same on those as it's done on the other blown up batteries. Can't let them pop a round off first though.
  13. SnipeX looks fun to me.
  14. Surprised to see CNN's interview of Petro Poroshenko from Kyiv-- he's still there and fighting.
  15. This isn't folklore, and it's from the Maidan Revolution, but it's what I expect to see more of as I ship off to bed. The only way we could replicate this is if we recruited half of the current Philadelphia Eagles' season ticket holders, threw them on a flight to Kyiv, serving up bottomless Jagerbombs with Rocky IV as the in-flght entertainment (on repeat), and then upon landing, convinced them that every tank and dark-green column were Dallas Cowboys fans. More of this shit, plz.
  16. With such losses and failure to take Kyiv, how many doses of Novichok have been prepared for their own command personnel? None of this operation seems to make sense, This is the same regime who would aim a microwave oven stator toward the adjacent hotel room of a visiting foreign ambassador in Moscow hotels.
  17. So where the fuck is their enlisted military? Standing ready at home to anticipate an offensive that will never come? https://www.thedailybeast.com/russia-used-beatings-and-tricks-to-forcibly-send-soldiers-to-ukraine-human-rights-group-says
  18. Did this overnight stave buy enough time for the good shit to arrive from Poland? Would love to see Kyiv equipped tomorrow night with more 7.62, Javelins, Stingers and NV optics
  19. This is the angle I'm nervous over. They're supposed to have developed [expensive] precision cruise missles and have kept most of their air superiority parked at home. I don't understand the disconnect between the will of Putin and execution of this "Military Operation." Something is seriously amiss and what we're seeing is the Kremlin's D-team getting their dicks stuck in the mud. I'm wary that if Putin truly wanted to end this, he could just pick up one of his state-security phones, punch in a couple codes and sit back behind his Windows XP desktop, watching the same livestream we're all watching.
  20. I'm trying to read into this, "something is off with Putin" in the scale of Hitler/Madman against the West or Sympathetic/over-his-head with Oligarchs blowing his phone up, the Ruble in rubble and fucking around to find out the Ukraine culture he adored would rather have his head on a stake. He's killing his kinsmen.
  21. We've been diligently fighting Russian cybercrime for more than a decade. It's expensive, but orgs who invest in security have been prepared long before this conflict. I can't speak for utilities and public infra, I'm convinced many still don't have their shit together. Perhaps Colonial Pipeline was enough to get their acts together, and the sad part about that was their corporate systems were breached while their SCADA systems remained segmented. I've been running geo blocks on my home network for a while.
  22. Unfortunately a few viral videos were mere fabrications from a 2008-era video game https://twitter.com/i/events/1497346553605808137
  23. They can under Article 19 of the Montreux Convention. The strait is what, 500M wide at the narrowest point?
  24. Color referring to Chewbacca's RS6 on order-- PPF stands to mute that deep Sonoma Green. I think I'd rather have film replaced than to try and color match chips on your X5M or his RS6. I'd always notice it and it would drive me nuts.
  25. Partial-hood and yellowed PPF is ghetto. Custom cut and full-panel PPF is great when every highway driven is also populated with work trucks and deteriorating expansion joints chipping away at the paint. A full body wrap is expensive and not ideal for your color. I do like the matte films and gloss black films for color changes and roof lines.
