It will be appointment viewing for me, to start at least, but I have zero expectations. GoT was so good before it got so bad. Yes there was a slow drop off from S5 to the end but S8 was just so bad. Like I still have no idea how it got approved. Who approved it? Literally you could have asked reddit morons to come up with a plot for the season and rough draft scripts and they'd have done a better job in a week, for free. GoT went from my favorite show of all time to something I don't even like thinking about because it enrages me.
The only thing really worth a damn in that last season was the Dothraki with flaming swords attacking the army of the dead at night.
I’m sorry, but that was some fantastic shit.

But Putin is a greedy and petty little KGB man at heart, from the school of “fuck you, pay me”, and so instead of building a country and economy that Russians could be proud of, hundreds of thousands fled in a brain drain he won’t recover from, it’s demographics are permanently accelerating towards a collapse, and Russia has to resort to buying fucking drones from Iran, and making their cheap ass cars without airbags.

I listed a little condo for a crazy woman and closed it a little over a year ago.
She says that buyer called her a couple of months ago, saying that there are foundation issues at the condo complex, and that the seller should have known and didn't disclose. I saw no evidence of foundation issues, there were none noted in the inspection, and none of the nosy neighbors mentioned anything. So, there's a really good chance that I'm going to get pulled into some bullshit lawsuit that has zero to do with anything that I did or did not do.
I’d put the system on trial.

Buy a few hundred Toyota Hulux and mount M-134s in the bed. M-134s have been around since 1963, so we should have quite a few available, and 7.62 ammo is cheaper than 20mm. Serves a dual purpose, shoot down Iranian drones, and cut through Russians. Even civilians have a few:

So you wouldn’t announce that? Given your silence on this thread about not paying people to assault other people, the only logical conclusion left is that you must have paid people to assault other people.
That is not true.

Fuck the Russians and their approach. Deport them in mass, create another revolution, and fuck em.
If we all don’t die in a nuclear war, I want this to end with the destruction of most of the Russian military….and sanctions so crippling that most of Russia has to endure long breadlines, empty shelves, few if any luxury consumer goods, no ability to travel outside Russia or participate in global sports, high unemployment and an economy so weak that they can’t spend any money on military - mostly because much of the oil and gas money goes to Ukrainian reparation.
For. Fucking. Decades.
I want living in Russia to emulate the conditions of the 1940s Soviet Union - but without any military.-

My brother is a cop who served in the Marines from 2002-2010. He says the younger cops from the military are a different kind of police officer. They don’t engage properly and swing their dicks around thinking the police badge is a platinum shield.

In my opinion ...
I would agree that the Nordstream explosion appears to be internal rather than external. Explosion as in man made detonation and not a "natural" leak/rupture followed by detonation. I have seen "normal' pipeline failures and explosions but am not familiar with the details of a pipeline intentionally blown up.
The "missing piece" of pipe on Norstream is more indicative of an explosion that cut the pipe in a circumferential direction rather than a longitudinal direction, maybe in two different places. With easy access, this could be done from the outside. The deep water location is not easy access and would require time and equipment, first to expose the buried pipelines lines just to gain access, and then to place the explosive charges. That type of activity would have been noticed. If there was a valve assembly of sorts above the sea floor, an external explosion becomes more probable.
Nordstream 2 is huge, two pipelines with a total capacity of 5.3 BCF (Billion Cubic Feet) of gas per day, roughly half of the US LNG capacity. Each pipeline is made of 100,000, 12m-long individual steel pipe joints, with 24t (tons?)in concrete weight. The internal diameter of the pipeline is 1,153mm (45 in) and the wall thickness is 41mm (1.6 in). Not quite a "gun barrel" pipe, but that's a big ass piece of iron.
Pipeline leaks/ruptures look similar, with the initial cause of the leak affecting the appearance. A corrosion related leak starts with a pinhole; once the integrity of the pipe is compromised, the leak propagates until eventually there is a catastrophic rupture. Whether or not there is an explosion will determine what the site looks like. Without an explosion, the pipeline still has continuity, there is just a big gap in it.
A mechanical failure, like a bad weld at a pipe joint, looks different, like the pipe was simply cut in half. Similar action; a pin hole leak at the weakest point, with the leak/crack propagating circumferentially along the weld, until it separates and ruptures.
This is a really cool picture! Bernoulli's fluid principle: PV=nRT. A rapid drop in pressure has a proportional rapid decrease in temperature. I remember a similar pipeline rupture w/o an explosion on a natural gas liquid pipeline; I could feel the temperature dropping as we got closer to the pipeline, and we didn't get very close!!! Same principle as a thermobaric weapon.
Explosions are ... the most exciting thing to make the evening news. Big orange fireballs. Gas will leak until the leak is stopped, disperses, or until it finds an ignition source. The explosion itself will rip the pipe wide open, so you have a full diameter pipeline leak at pressure, ~ 1,OOO PSI (lbs/square inch), burning with enough heat to melt steel and turn dirt into glass.
Nordsteam appears to have had an explosion that ripped the pipe in pieces, but didn't have a fire that would have melted the steel. Hard to imagine an explosion that could rip apart a 1.6" thick, concrete coated, pipeline.
Pipeline "pigs" were used initially just to clean out pipelines, commission new pipelines (use a pig in a pipe to separate the fluid in front of the pig (water or nitrogen) from the fluid behind the pig, the fluid paying the bills (oil, gas, gasoline, diesel, etc.), or to just separate two different fluids . Over time smart pigs were developed in the 70's-80's with instrumentation to measure metal thickness, corrosion, etc. (I have no idea how far technology has progressed since my training program.) Suffice it to say that it would be relatively easy to rig a very complicated bomb, place it in/on a pig, move it where you want it, and blow it up.
So…..Peppa Pig after all?

What makes me feel better is the fact that if the US midterms bring a pro Russia GOP to the political and military situation, while a setback of shorts to Ukraine’s eventual victory, I think that Poland and Finland and Sweden alone will continue to support Ukraine with enough weapons to keep Russia from taking Ukraine. The new NATO allies and the Baltic states are under no delusions about the intent of Russia in the future if Russia’s attack on Ukraine is successful. Their interest in not seeing a Russian victory is exponentially greater than America‘s proxy war with Russia interest. It could conceivably result in some sort of, smaller NATO-like pact between those countries if United States withdraws from NATO like Trump and the GOP want.Ok I'll indulge you for a bit.
How does any of this address the biggest problem that Putin is facing, which is the lack of men and material to achieve any objectives?
Where is that going to come from?
Do you expect a complete reversal of policy that results in military assistance to Russia?
Because that's the only way he gets out of this at this point.
Those neighboring countries who know Russia best are not going to let Ukraine fall. they simply cannot allow it.-

Did the water bottle have a provocative label? Did the bottle clearly object at the time? Do we know the expiration date and when it was no longer young? Let’s not rush to judgment.

Russians love their children too. Just not anyone else’s children it seems.
More of a Sting critique of MAD than an ode to or positive view of Russia was intended, IMO.

Anyone know if have old M133s to give them? I mean, Bradleys with TOW anti-tank missiles would be nice, but shouldn’t we have a bunch of those doing nothing?
