So there’s weird shit about a Russian ship off the coast of England full of ammonium nitrate, adrift according to some, possibly near some oil and gas infrastructure.  It was turned away from ports in other countries.  Wonder if Putin is trying to send a message.

 

Link?

They say anchored. Whole thing is weird.   It’s got he Brits jumpy.

That is pretty fucking weird.  One the one hand, Russkies are shady as fuck.  On the other, they truly suck maritime shit.  Admiral Kuznetzov and the smattering of sunken nuke subs out front shoulda toldja.

I read something about his ship last week on Reddit in one of their Ukraine-related threads. Then, the primary concern was it blowing up underneath the bridge linking Copenhagen, Denmark, to Malmo, Sweden. At the time, it was believed the ship was trying to return to Russia (St. Petersburg?) by way of the Baltic Sea. According to your link, I guess the concern was significant enough that Denmark said no way, no how, not gonna happen, wouldn't be prudent.

 

Btw, I sympathize with any concern. Imagine a blast seven times this size.

New Nuke doctrine in the making.

Vladimir Putin says Russia would consider an attack from a non-nuclear state that was backed by a nuclear-armed one to be a "joint attack", in what could be construed as a threat to use nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine.

In key remarks on Wednesday night, the Russian president said his government was considering changing the rules and preconditions around which Russia would use its nuclear arsenal.

So no more proxy wars?

Read the article. Proof Russia sucks at navy things.

Scandinavian authorities, including those in Norway and Denmark, have denied entry to the MV Ruby following significant damage to its hull and rudder sustained when the vessel ran aground shortly after departing the port of Kandalaksha, Russia.

Also, heading to Malta but only if it unloads? Where is it going to unload? Imagine that fucker going boom in the Straits of Gibraltar. Um, yeah, that could impact global trade.

guess this means that if hes saying they can now launch nukes... that hes just threatened the world with a nuke strike... so, i guess we just need to nuke the whole fucking country from orbit.  just to be sure.   everyone needs a little extra radiation in their air, water and food.

Fake command posts, electromagnetic decoys and fast-moving mission control hubs are some of the ways the war in Ukraine has transformed U.S. Army training in Europe:

State Department announcement.

United States Announces $5.55 Billion New Military Assistance for Ukraine

Press Statement

 

 

September 26, 2024

 

Today, as part of the surge of assistance that President Biden directed ahead of his meeting with President Zelenskyy, the Department notified Congress of the intent to direct the drawdown of up to approximately $5.55 billion in defense articles and services from DoD stocks for military assistance to Ukraine under Presidential Drawdown Authority.

This drawdown utilizes the remaining authority of the Presidential Drawdown Authority under section 506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance for fiscal year 2024 provided by the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, which will expire on September 30, 2024. We are taking this step to ensure this Authority does not expire and the United States can fully utilize the funding appropriated by Congress.

By doing so, the United States will be able to continue to provide a surge in defense articles and services to Ukraine from DoD stocks under planned drawdowns in the weeks and months ahead. These drawdowns have been made possible by strong bipartisan support from Congress.

The United States is committed to supporting the Ukrainian military with the equipment they need to strengthen their position on the battlefield, defend their territory and people from the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, and prevail in this war to secure a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace. As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine.

US Army/DOD reorganizing how special operations in Europe is led/based, and going from a one-star general in command of just US special operations to an American three-star general in charge of US and NATO special operations.

https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2024-09-18/special-operations-command-europe-nato-15220494.html

Quote

A leadership makeover aimed at improving how U.S. special operators work with allies in Europe is in the works, military officials said this week. The change involves turning the Stuttgart-based U.S. Special Operations Command Europe into a three-star headquarters with its commander serving in a dual role as head of NATO’s special operations command. The change “will better align SOF operations, activities and investments,” SOCEUR spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Bogart said in a statement Wednesday. “Furthermore, it ensures a more efficient allocation of resources and personnel, where SOF assets can be rapidly deployed in support of NATO or U.S. missions as needed,” he said.

Quote

The move is in line with how other top positions are structured, such as U.S. European Command, whose leader also serves as NATO’s supreme allied commander from an office in Belgium. The heads of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force in Europe lead corresponding NATO commands. Last week, the Pentagon announced that Army Maj. Gen. Richard E. Angle had been nominated for a third star to head up SOCEUR and the Allied Special Operations Forces Command.

A pretty big deal.

But the orange, fat fucking regard says Ukraine is completely destroyed and will take a hundred years to rebuild! 

To be fair the Donbas region and Kharkiv etc are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. I imagine places like Mauripol are a hellacious hell scape . Kyiv has time to shoot down incoming missiles etc and those places do not. The ground there will take god knows how long to demine. There are still minefields in Bosnia.

Bosnia?  

Hell as has been pointed out here and other places multiple times, there are still minefields in France from WWI.
