Whoa. That dude is a dead man walking.  The authority he wants to speak loudly would be the Politburo, but that went away with the Iron Curtain.

Quote

There's a fragment of a discussion at a round table on Russia's demographic problems in the Moscow City Duma.

“What price are we ready to pay for participation in a special military operation? Now we are going to take Kyiv. Should there be a demographic price or not? Why don't they tell us the numbers of dead soldiers? Who are they hiding them from? Mortality at young ages in 2022 has gone up 40-50%! That's why abortions have dropped. There is no one who can fertilize, because children are not made with a finger, and all those who make children - they end up in the steppes near Kherson. We should create some authority that would be able to speak loudly about it. And do not be afraid not to invite Vladimir Vladimirovich, he is of no use anyway," Igor Gundarov, an expert in the field of epidemiology, said.

Kickass American weapons show themselves incredibly adept at killing Commies.  Other nations take notice and might buy $23B of F16’s.  Lotsa American manufacturing jobs there.

I still have both of these books, and read both back in the 80s (Team Yankee is set within the scenario of the World War III novels).  I need to re-read them and see how they hold up.

I don’t recall the Russians having such shitty logistics and piss-poor battlefield leadership, nor do I recall the importance that golf carts would play.

There's a TriStar that often shows up at our airport here in SE Idaho during fire season. Always a pleasure to see.

And let's not forget the iconic Connie, the O.G. of Air Force Ones. Not the prettiest bird, but very distinctive with its triple tail and dolphin-like fuselage.

It plays well with a segment of voters who might otherwise be agnostic.

i will allow Congressman Johnson to pander to religions Conservatives in exchange for the tools Ukraine needs to kill Russians.

[KYHorn 17200]

Agreed on the above points. It's a silly justification but practically speaking, if it's an argument that helps bring more from that demographic to the good side, then that's fine by me. 

A rare event was captured on video by the 30th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, showing a sniper duel between a Ukrainian and a Russian sniper in the Bakhmut direction. The Russian sniper nearly hit the Ukrainian soldier from a distance of 1240 meters, but the Ukrainian sniper emerged victorious, sending his opponent to hell on the second attempt.

Russian state media is reporting that a Ukrainian attack on occupied Donetsk (city of) killed 1 and wounded 6. That is factual. But, Russian state media left one an important detail.
The building that was attacked with rockets fired by HIMARS was a Russian drone factory and logistics base and someone violated OPSEC by filming the operation and the stacks of drones and supplies for Russian troops in the building.
The truth matters.

First post: they oughta shorten that timeline.  Desperate Putins will do desperate things, and right soon.  The west needs to be ready to fight a war against that coalition within the next 6-12 months.  We should be amping up arms and drone production like a motherfucker (and preparing to cripple the enemy's ability to do the same).

Second post: FINALLY, somebody fighting back against drones the Brisketexan way.  Unfortunately, their shotgun skills are ALSO the Brisketexan way (first half hour of opening day, having failed to go to the skeet range even once pre-season).  Sucks for them.

Two things - that Russian had basically nothing on him - no body armor, helmet, etc.  Had he been flushed out of a bunker or something?

Second, he might have put the barrel under his armpit and fired, faking shooting himself - he knows he's being watched, and you can see the round hit the ground behind him, and there was no hole/blood stain on his back, and he didn't panic.

Still, in his mind, if he faked it, the fact that he came up with a scenario where he might have to take his death has got to wear on him mentally - that's how bad they are doing and how pervasive drones are.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in China

The website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry published a report saying that Kuleba allegedly said during a meeting in Guangzhou with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi that Kyiv is ready for negotiations with Moscow, but they should be rational and peace-oriented.

The publication on the website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry also says that Kuleba said that Ukraine allegedly supports China's position on Taiwan and will adhere to the "one China" principle.

It should be noted that Taiwan has been providing aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion, and Ukrainian officials visited the island in 2022.

Kyiv has not yet commented on this message, and the video with excerpts of the ministerial meeting, which is publicly available, does not contain any such statements by the Ukrainian minister.

This morning in Moscow, Andrei Torgashov, Deputy Chief of the 89th Satellite Communications Center of the Russian Armed Forces, was blown up in his Toyota Land Cruiser.

The explosion occurred in a parking lot on Sinyavinskaya Street. Torgashov's legs were torn off. 

The cause of the car explosion was the detonation of an explosive device.

gotta say that overall... whoever planted that bomb was actually pretty fucking concerned about collateral damage.   the land cruiser is still mostly intact, and the the 2 cars next to it, while damaged, werent totally destroyed.

 

thats like someone saying 350 grams of semtex is too much, lets use 280 grams instead (made up numbers), because more than X amount of plastic would send the car, and everyone around it, to the moon.
