  1. Based on the preparations, this looks to be a long night for Kyiv.
  2. Sanctions are starting to escalate.
  3. Will be interesting if NATO calls their bluff.
  4. if they can’t take Chernihiv or Kherson, getting the feeling the Russians are paper tigers.
  5. Putins giving a speech right now per BBC.
  6. Even Looch is ashamed of this bullshit:
  7. Just to compare: Hopefully, Russia realizes this is about to become a bloodbath.
  8. wish that UEFA would remove Russia from the playoffs for the World Cup and the remaining teams in European competitions. Agree that sanctions are surprisingly not all that strong. The firm I worked for was told that our project in Russia is going ahead yesterday, which it absolutely shouldn’t.
  9. Also, let’s take a moment to think about the real victims (starts at around 20 seconds).
  10. Peace sells… but who’s buying?
  11. https://twitter.com/natobrazeb/status/1496706076334510080?s=21 Latvia invoking Article 4 of NATO which reads:
  12. Guess zinc has become more precious than 2014.
  13. It’s one thing to win a war, but it’s another thing to occupy. I think Russia is going to get a rude awakening when they see an asymmetric war during occupation, particularly if Europe and the US is united to put their economy in a vice grip. You’d think their experience in Chechnya would have drilled that into their heads. Definitely a worry though. Did the US send more troops to Lithuania and Poland last week?
  14. I can think of a certain other thing that can be seized from Roman.
  15. Sanctions need to include seizure of foreign homes and real estate in London, Paris, Vancouver, etc. let’s see how the oligarchs react when they lose their investments and vacation homes.
  16. Shady Ray has better posts, but certain portions of the Ukrainian forces are relatively far right. Think they are called the Azov battalion.
  17. Blinkens response would seem to indicate that tonight is the night Russia advances.
  18. DOD is moving towards getting more processing plants in the US. Know they partnered with MP Materials to build/reconfigure the mine they have at the California/Nevada border. the overall sentiment is correct though - we need to build our capabilities of both extracting and processing rare earths in the US. There’s actually a bunch of fun research going into this, including leaching coal ash to collect rare earths within those deposits.
  19. China didn’t do it for the Georgian states or Crimea, so doubtful.
