It's not the HIMARS, it's that they sold them ATACAMS, when supposedly we don't have enough to send to Ukraine.

Sorry, ATACAMS. Again, from what I've seen reported, the delivery isn't for several years.

We're not making any more, so the excuse that our stocks are low is just more BS if we're turning around and selling them to Morocco. Do we want Ukraine to fucking win this, or not?

Me thinks it's more about having the replacement missiles in our stockpiles by the time we start shipping ATACMS to other countries like Morocco.

We have more than 2000, we can't spare 10 or 20?

We have to modernize them to extend their life and increase their effectiveness. These are old missiles. It isn't clear how many have received the necessary modernizations.

I don't know "was blown up" in reference to a single person is so fucking funny to me this morning.

I mean, it'll make for a cool obituary and "cause of death" on the autopsy file.  

Nothing terribly groundbreaking here, but some very up-to-the-minute news on the possible UA counteroffensive:

Reminds me of the Tracy Morgan bit about his grandma referring to his uncle's injury while in the Army.

"And his legs was blow'd off....in, VIETNAM!"

Holy shit, this is some Tom Clancy, FX's The Americans-style stuff going on..

The FBI has put on the wanted list Natalia Burlinova, an associate professor at Moscow State University and an ex-producer of the Govorit Moskva (Moscow Speaks) radio station. According to the investigation, Burlinova acted in the United States as a foreign agent. She worked with an officer of the Russian FSB. In the fall of 2018, the woman visited US universities and research institutes, where she was engaged in "recruiting Americans."

Burlinova provided info to the FSB about the US citizen participants in the Meeting Russia programs, including bios, interests & political opinions. The FSB monitored their career developments, with an aim that some would become influential public figures.

So the only tail that Tucker ever got in college?

Kasparov says it is because "Tragically, influences in the Biden White House also seem to want this. Sullivan, Burns, Kerry, treating this like the Cold War where the evil they know is better than the uncertainty of victory, even if it means undermining the counteroffensive against a war criminal regime".

Kasparov's position seems too speculative to me.

Just finished One Soldier's War by Babchenko.  I didn’t really learn anything knew about the RU military from the two Chechen wars that we haven’t seen in the UKR war.  What an absolute shit show they are.  If it weren’t for nukes, the Russians would be closer to a 3rd world country  than any modern superpower. 

Torture, indiscriminate killings, bullying, violence within ranks, lack of supplies, lack of meeting basic needs (ie water), eating toothpaste , eating dogs, theft, desertion, no discipline or respect of rank, alcoholism, rape, little or no record keeping, lack of supply chain management, poor soldiering.  They really are a Godless bunch, no soul, little to no redeeming qualities as far as i can tell.  How much longer will Putin survive?

As an aside, that song is also burned into my brain. Weirdest place I've heard it? At an Astros game during our Mascot Race.

I fucked up though. Tried to make it 3 syllables and forgot the S at the end.

Yup.  Everything you needed to know about the war in Ukraine is laid out in that book. Everything is the same. Everything is explained - and you are right - there are exactly zero redeeming features in Russia’s overall culture.   That book and the Long Telegram tell us all we need to know.
