Oh yeah. Russians have a stick vehicle, and they've lodged a tree trunk or telephone pole or something in the back of the stuck vehicle, and are attempting to use a tank to push the vehicle out of the mud. There are three guys standing around, I guess to make sure the tank pushes the pole flush? Anyway, the tank rolls up, the log immediately gets pushed up atop the tank's nose, and with no resistance (the stuck vehicle/pole combo, the tank proceeds to run right the fuck over one of the soldiers. 

TLDR; Boop…splat.

I volunteered today. Log/Admin role to replace people for 30-60 days. The operation is in the west, or should the Orcs win will be pulled back behind the NATO wall. Either way the humanitarian effort

Huh.  Weird.  Trying to reconcile that with this:

Quote

The House adopted H. Res. 1065 – the rule for S. 3522 – Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 by a vote of 220-205.

So, they were split on adopting the rule for it (and I don't even know what that rule is), but then voted for the actual act unanimously?  Seems odd, but it's Congress, so.....

Haha, yeah pretty much, threw me too.

 

Edit: Looks like the Rule was opposed by some because it contains a separate provision extending authority to stop some other mechanisms that could be used to delay other bills, which some didn't agree to. That's as far as CR I want to get with it.

Yeah I knew what you were talking about and figured it was just some grandstanding before the real vote. 

I posted who the 10 opponents were in the CR thread so all y'all can have at it there. ;)

If they are short of infantry and try to do anything involving moving their armor, the Javs are fixing to eat…
 

It was pretty obvious when they advanced on Kyiv with little infantry coordination, the armor got shredded by the shoulder fired antitank systems, and yet they are preparing an offensive to do the same damn thing…

Their primary war strategy is and has always been “we have/can make more X than you can blow up or kill.”  It’s not something they can just pivot away from, even in the face of proof that it’s not true.

I just wanted to point out that your flag

383px-Flag_of_Chad.svg.png

looks almost just like Romania's flag.

It's Romania's fault,

but that won't protect from any angry Russian missiles should Romania step in to defend Moldova.

 

If I had a flag, it would probably be something closer to this:

Still, your point is well taken.

Some of those poor fuckers are having to drive HEMTTs. Like riding a giant angry horse at a trot, for hours, except a horse will jolt you at a predictable rhythm, while a Hemmitt does it at random times.

Sounds like the rental car bus at Dulles.

Yes, and all along I think that was the goal. Go as far as the Dnieper and consolidate. Create a buffer state that can always be threatened.

Just like everybody else, I saw it coming a mile away.  But damned if it still wasn't a jump-scare when it actually did happen.

And here's the thing--these things happen in wartime.  This, the collision between to Russian helicopters that we saw a couple pages back, the accidental driving of tanks into creeks that we've seen a couple times--these accidents are going to happen when you have young men working with heavy (and often explosive) machinery in high-stress conditions with little sleep.  It happens to our military.  A huge percentage of American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan were from mishaps.  It almost certainly happens more in the Russian military due to the lower levels of training.  But still--it's an unavoidable thing.

But they almost always happen behind the lines.  So when the Ukrainians put out their estimates of Russian deaths, they're not accounting for these.  Now, they're probably overestimating deaths.  But that overestimation is offset in whole or in part by the actual accidental deaths that can't be counted in the Ukrainian figures.

Christ almighty, it's like I'm sitting here talking about the legislative process with my brother's kids or something, you nerve-racking sons of bitches.

This was the plan I raised in January.  If Putin were half the statesman Stalin was, he'd have offered to partition Ukraine and Moldova with Poland, Slovakia, and Romania.  Basically offer them to undo the Soviet aggression of 1939-40.  Poland gets northwestern Ukraine (including the city of Lvov).  Romania gets back Moldova (less Transnistria) and Bukovina.  Slovakia gets back Carpatho-Ruthenia.  Russia gets the rest plus Transnistria.  

It's a good partition--Poland probably would've jumped at it.  And then you turn members of Nato into co-conspirators, which suddenly makes it very difficult for the United States and the rest of Nato to effectively oppose the partition.  

But the time for that kind of statecraft is passed.  Putin fucked up, and there are no do-overs.

Didn't see the video, but I had the distinct displeasure of seeing a guy get crushed between two M113s while we loaded on trains to move south of Seoul for Team Spirit when I was stationed in Korea.  I heard yelling and turned just in time to see it.  Haunts my dreams to this day, so I'll pass on that one.

Holy shit, if the Ukrainians are getting M142 HIMARS in decent numbers from us, that's going to fuck up the Russians like nobody's business - they would be hard to target by Russian aircraft, and would be waste to try and hit with cruise missiles since they are mobile.  And they have a helluva range - up to 300 miles or so.

Wonder if they will be hunting Russian generals with them.
