  1. It wasn't divided through all of 22 and most of 23. The training, and timely provision of F16s, ATACMS, tanks, and air defense would've all been very helpful for the offensive, but instead every one of those followed the pattern of "no way"... 6 months... "we're considering it"... 3 months... "okay, with limitations"... 3 months... provisions finally arrive or training commences.
  2. Between these 2 developments, I'm hoping good things are still to come for UUUU: U.S. Senate passes bill to support advanced nuclear energy deployment https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-senate-passes-bill-support-advanced-nuclear-energy-deployment-2024-06-19/ Energy Fuels (UUUU) Appoints Director to Grow REE Business https://finance.yahoo.com/news/energy-fuels-uuuu-appoints-director-151100541.html Energy Fuels Inc. UUUU announced that it appointed Debra Bennethum to the Energy Fuels Management Team as director of Critical Minerals & Strategic Supply Chain , who is expected to focus on growing its rare earth elements (REE) business. The company announced last week that it achieved commercial production of “on spec” separated rare earth elements at its wholly-owned White Mesa Mill in Utah. Energy Fuels' new "Phase 1" REE separation circuit can generate around 850-1,000 metric tons of separated neodymium-praseodymium ("NdPr") per year, making it one of the world's largest commercial REE separation circuits, with the exception of China. The integration of REE separation technologies has had no effect on the mill's uranium production capacity, with a uranium processing campaign scheduled for the third quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, UUUU expects to produce 25-35 tons of on-spec, separated NdPr. Following the NdPr production, Energy Fuels will concentrate on uranium production, with a projected output of 150,000-500,000 pounds of triuranium octoxide in 2024 and higher in 2025. Bennethum's background is expected to give Energy Fuels essential knowledge and experience as she fills a critical role in the company's REE sales and marketing operations. Debra Bennethum, a chemical engineer, previously worked as the EV Critical Minerals Manager in General Motors' GM Global Purchasing and Supply Chain Division . Bennethum oversaw supply strategies at GM to ensure the resilience of EV important mineral supply chains, which included REEs for permanent magnet and battery critical minerals. She also handled more than $1.5 billion in investment projects, working with technical and internal stakeholders to boost GM's supply chains. Energy Fuels anticipates Debra Bennethum, as a director, to establish relationships with original equipment manufacturers and other customers while negotiating supply, offtake and other agreements for the company's REE products. Her expertise will aid the company in considering REE collaborations in metal, alloy and magnet production, as well as analyzing and potentially pursuing government financing and other support
  3. I wonder if it's around this point that a surreal feeling sets in for Putin and he realizes this is his new reality and what has become of his life and country due entirely to his own decision making. Probably not.
  4. Smart. And a good sign
  5. More info on the new Russian push: Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade warns of Russian attempt to capture Borova in Kharkiv Oblast https://kyivindependent.com/ukraines-3rd-assault-brigade-warns-of-russian-attempt-to-capture-borova-kharkiv-oblast
  6. I saw that. Very disturbing, but makes you wonder if our intelligence agencies had something to do with it being exposed. There are still lots of tweets up with this text, even after some of the bot accounts were deleted. Here's a translation:
  7. Possibly a new offensive DeepState reports that Russian forces have built up significant military strength to attack Borova. From Raihorodka to Novovodyane, approximately 10,000 personnel and 450 pieces of heavy equipment, including 200 artillery systems, have been amassed. The 3rd Brigade is currently defending against these forces. Last year, Russia also tried to attack in this area but at some point they halted operations without achieving success.
  8. Polish farmers have resolutely confronted illegal migrants in an unusual way They decided to fill the border strip between #Poland and #Belarus with pig manure. Polish farmers learned the idea from the Greeks, who a few years ago tried to stop refugees from the Middle East in this way. Polish farmers also assume that most of the foreigners on the Polish-Belarusian border are Muslims who don't eat pork. "We count on the fact that if we spread pig manure, illegal migrants will not pass through this strip because their faith will not allow them to do so," the farmers say.
  9. ^probably old More details on the river access and map of the location Russia may sell out a river access to China "BEIJING -- China, Russia and North Korea are expected to start discussions soon about allowing ships to navigate a border river into the Sea of Japan, which could have major security implications for Tokyo. The waterway, the Tumen River, flows east along the border of China and North Korea, and eventually also of Russia, before emptying into the Sea of Japan. Chinese vessels can currently only freely navigate the river until the village of Fangchuan, on the eastern end of landlocked Jilin province. Permission is required from both Russia and North Korea to navigate the remaining 15-kilometer stretch to the Sea of Japan. A Soviet-era, 7-meter-tall bridge also blocks the passage of larger vessels. (...) China historically held the area until the Russian Empire took control in the 1860s. China has repeatedly urged Russia and North Korea to allow Chinese vessels to navigate the river to the Sea of Japan, proposing the creation of a special economic zone along its banks. Russia used to be reluctant on the idea, concerned that it would increase China's influence in Northeast Asia. But its attitude is changing as the power dynamic between Moscow, Beijing and Pyongyang shifts.
  10. Jesus Johnny warning:
  11. Russia to hand over river to China for access to the Sea of Japan Russia, China and North Korea will soon begin negotiations to allow Chinese ships to pass through the border river Tumen into the Sea of Japan, The Moscow Times quoted Nikkei Asia as saying. The Tumen River flows along the border of China, North Korea and Russia and empties into the Sea of Japan. Chinese ships can now move freely along the river only up to the village of Fanchuan and have no opportunity to go to the sea, as for the passage of the remaining 15-kilometer section they need permission from Russia and North Korea. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, after their meeting in May, included a paragraph in their joint statement about Russian and Chinese participation in "constructive dialog" with North Korea over the Tumen River. Previously, Russia did not support this Chinese initiative, fearing that Beijing would thus increase its influence in Northeast Asia. However, against the backdrop of sanctions imposed against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, Moscow is becoming increasingly dependent on the Chinese side, The Moscow Times noted.
  12. Get this to the DoD and into DARPA's hands immediately
  13. "I'm not anti-Semitic, but..." Is always a great way to start a sentence
  14. Next up: frat parties
  15. I wonder what this "system" is: But the most dangerous thing here is that the Ukrainians..." 6/ "...were able to establish a system for detecting and destroying our fixed-wing drones. Building such a system is the key to successful (interceptor drone) application. Without it, an FPV drone will not find a target at an altitude of several thousand meters."
  16. Interview with the commander of the Bradley from that video where the Bradley and BTR pass by each other and the BTR is destroyed. From the commander of the Bradley in the video, Viktor "praised the Bradley’s armor and the training he received from U.S. troops in Germany this year. He singled out the vehicle’s armaments, including guided missiles and its 25mm cannon, which can fire armor-piercing rounds about the size of a hot dog." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/06/12/ukraine-bradley-fighting-vehicles-combat-video/
  17. The Kh-101 missiles that Russia launched yesterday at Ukraine were modified that even when they are shot down, cluster munitions fall out and hit the target over a large area — Defense Express military expert Ivan Kyrychevskyi. According to the expert, if the warhead did not explode after the missile was shot down, it was believed that the target would no longer pose a threat, but now it can cause damage even after being shot down, because cluster submunitions fall out of it: "This also explains the paradox that everything was shot down, but then the wreckage caused a lot of damage because the debris had cluster munitions." This is what Russia uses to target Ukraine's civilians. Terrorists and murderers.
