  1. Ukraine does a great job of OPSEC on a lot of things, but if they were not disciplined, well-equipped, etc., it would have shown up on social media - I and others have commented a lot on how professional and well-equipped Ukrainian soldiers look. On Russian social media, way too many Russian soldiers looked like they grabbed their grandpa's winter overcoat from WW2 and wrapped some fabric around their feet or grabbed some galoshes in place of proper boots. Wagoner is the exception - they seemed to be better supplied than the Russian military, but that's a huge fucking problem in and of itself - the people fighting for Mother Russia should not be lacking in winter gear, footwear, etc., since they have an entire nation behind them, that claims the #2 military in the world. I've beaten this dead horse a lot (including in the past 24 hours), but I think it really applies here: The 40 mile-long Russian Convoy. That was the main assault force for Kyiv. It only made it 60 miles inside the Ukrainian border before running out of food and fuel. The hub in Belarus for this attack towards Kyiv was only 50 miles from the Russian border. It was roughly 150 miles from the Russian logistics hub in Russia proper (and actually maybe closer to 120 depending on what you count as the hub). You can argue that it wasn't the Russian border, but the rail hub in Belarus was directly tied into the Russian rail system, making it a part of Russia's rail logistics chain. This wasn't the US moving thousands of tanks, trucks, APCs, IFVs, and Humvees and over half a million American troops by air and sea halfway around the world from the US, and thousands of miles from Europe to Saudi Arabia. This was Russia running stuff on trains into Belarus close to the border, and then vehicles driving off the trains and 10 or 15 miles to Ukraine. Finally. This was 8 fucking days into the invasion. Not 8 months. Not 8 weeks. 8 fucking days into the invasion, early March. How did they run out of food and fuel 60 miles inside the border, and less than 150 miles from their Russian hub, and only 8 days into the invasion? They were closer to their Russian rail/supply hub than Austin is to Houston, and somehow they couldn't be bothered to have enough fuel and food for their troops to make the trip, but the US could move well over half-a-million troops to Saudi Arabia, and thousands of vehicles, and keep it all supplied and everybody fed and fueled up. They couldn't even get their shit together to make the final 20 mile run to Kyiv. If you can't move your troops less than 200 miles and keep them fueled and fed for 8 fucking days, your military sucks ass. The quality is shit, the leadership is shit, the equipment is shit, the soldiers are shit. The NCOs and officers are shit. Everything is shit.

  3. this it too glib by half. The conclusion to draw from those war outcomes, and virtually all modern total wars, is not that you can't know who will win based on early results, but that given time, the side with the superior industrial capacity will win. With the support of the US and Europe, that is Ukraine. If that support is removed and/or the sanctions against Russia weakened, then it tips to Russia.

  10. This I think is the worst. I've worked in offices where the boss thought it improved competition to pit workers against each other. It does increase competition, but only among the workers. It diminishes overall outcomes for the company and creates an internal culture of insecurity and fear, rather than innovation and teamwork. Time wondering who is trying to fuck you over, or who you need to fuck over, is not time spent thinking about how to improve/sell the product. This is the sense, on a much grander scale, that I get from the Russian armed forces, and Russian government in general.

  20. Without going all Bill Little on your asses we are less than 24 hours from first pitch of my favorite thing in the whole world. The summer of 2020 was rough as we had lost the Texas baseball season to covid and no one could tell you what the future would look like. I also had some personal medical stuff that is literally and literally behind me now. Every day is a gift. Texas baseball season doubly so. Let's light these fuckers up.

  25. This is a great question. There is an alternative narrative, where Russia is killing lots of Ukrainians, suffering few losses, and preparing to just fucking kick ass. A narrative where maybe Russian troops do some unseemly things, but, hey, Abu Ghraib, My Lai and Ukraine bombed Donbas for years! That narrative is spread by RT, Telegram, and lots of Russian troll internet posters (and western dupes/fellow travelers like Tucker Carlson). That narrative is also false. This thread doesn’t put up with that shit. (six months ago, I organically came up with the view that maybe Ukraine should settle to stop the civilian suffering. That idea aligned with what Russian trolls were promoting at the time, and Hobbes and others jumped all over it, pointing out that Ukraine gets to decide when it’s too much and you can’t trust Russia to honor a peace anyway. Not the easiest way to be persuaded, but … they were right). The truth is- Russia has a huge manpower advantage, a sizeable artillery advantage, a huge air advantage (that they haven’t pressed because Ukraine does have effective air defense), a huge cruise missiles advantage, a functional domestic supply chain and … nukes. Ukraine has superior leadership, military operations, a great communications advantage (underreported story- Russia thought they would shut down Ukraine internet and a nutty US billionaire said, β€œno”), plentiful armament from the west (as long as they are backed), and a motivated populace. The good news- Russia’s economy is staggering, and they have about 60k KIA (more than the US lost in Vietnam) and 209k total casualties. The bad news- Ukraine’s economy is destroyed and they have similar casualty figures, plus tens of thousands of murdered civilians. Russia ain’t winning but Ukraine hasn’t won yet. They have a good chance, though. It’s best for the US and world if they do. Support for an Ukraine is the most bipartisan issue in America, right now. I hope it continues. I’ve emailed my congressman that I want it to continue. Have you?

  26. A few things to keep in mind. At the height of Russia's post USSR strength, they had to level Grozny. A city armed by people with no heavy weapons and without years of NATO training and professionalization. They launched all they had to take it, committing massacres as they went. They had to do it twice. How did they finally pacify the region? By buying a strong man who can control the internal situation. What I think we are seeing is the #2 army in the world has been decimated by greed, theft and the loss of professional structure within the ranks. Now they are using prisoners and people mobilized. We talk about how hard it is for our DOD to find enough healthy bodies to fill the ranks, thus we lessen the enlistment requirements. How healthy are these mobilized troops for hard winter combat with little gear and leadership? I think both keep trying to punch their way through lines, but Ukraine just had to keep bleeding them and building up their army. I am not sure if they take all their land back, but they are not going to collapse as Putin expects unless there is an internal Coup or the loss of Western Support. Poland has a buffer with a shitty army between them and Russia. They do not want a border with Russia. I don't see them pulling back.

  34. Well, I guess I am in this club now, bitches. I am now a lymphomie with NSCHL. Luckily, it is a pretty curable thing, even in later stages. I’m still unstaged until my PET scan on the 27th, but already have my port installed and ready to go. Had two inconclusive core biopsies from a cervical neck node, and then an excisional biopsy removed two nodes in my subclavicular area (where I first noticed a swollen node) and confirmed it. Anyone else ever gone through this or any other subtype of Hodgkin’s (or even NHL)? Tips? Tricks? I think that I will likely receive the ABVD regimen, as it is the most common for CHL patients in the US, but I’ll find out soon enough. Just looking forward to getting this shit behind me.
