  1. And Russia is not making any concessions. We continue to get played by Putin, how fucking embarrassing.
  2. https://x.com/wartranslated/status/1993733423010041898 Russian wounded being strapped to a fucking four-wheeler with duct tape. That won’t embed but this video with dead bodies will.
  3. @Gatorubet covered most, but I'd say that Ukraine is getting modern fighters in numbers the Russians can't (along with the munitions for them), and Ukraine is increasing production of their homegrown long-range munitions (drones/missiles) which are performing admirably, all the while Russia can't currently keep up with air defense system production (as Ukraine continues to destroy/degrade them and target the manufacturing chain). Russia also can't seem to shake the strategy of lobbing a significant number of missiles/drones at civilian targets, which, just as the Germans did during the Battle of Britain (when they switched from targeting the RAF to civilians), is going to bite them in the ass, since every missile or drone put into civilian targets is a missile or drone that's not used against military targets. If their production/acquisition slows down, they are going to wish they had those missiles and drones. When Germany was unable to defend the Fatherland from allied bombing, things started turning slowly, and then suddenly. There's going to come a point where Ukraine drops the Kerch bridge, and shuts down large-scale navel re-supply to Crimea, and starts putting missiles into Moscow. They are already hitting power facilities around Moscow as it is, and there seems to be few targets in Crimea and along the Russian coastline that Ukraine can't touch (and Ukraine has been working over Russia's cargo ships that would be used to supply Crimea). I won't join Gatorubet in his bet about next June, but I do think things will look completely different by then, and probably even by February. This is a very unique moment in history - Ukraine is able to put an economic (and arguably psychological once the heating and electricity fails for longer and longer times) pressure on Russia that few other countries in history have been able to accomplish in the same situation.
  4. Haven't read the thread yet, but Johnny Knoxville has really taken a beating from all of the Jackass movies.
  5. And the R is a Hugely MAGA West Pointer. It's pretty amazing that it's this close, but the Rs in Tennessee have pissed off plenty.
  6. Republicans have already publicly admitted that the healthcare thing is going to really hurt the Republican party. And there are a lot of people who are not aware of what's going on and what will be happening with costs/fees. And they don't want to address healthcare because it's the right thing to do (if you are "pro-life") or because it saves all of us money in the long run and keeps our ERs free for, you know, actual emergencies, versus a shitload of uninsured showing up at the ER for the flu, they want to address it because they are afraid Democrats can use the horror stories against them next November.
  7. Russia confirmed the leaked call.
  8. A little more on that factory hit. It probably didn’t slow production too much, but hitting a vital factory 1000km into the country is pretty serious. Ukrainian drones struck the capital of the Chuvash republic of Cheboksary in Russia, which is around 1,000 km from the Ukrainian border. Target was VNIIR-Progress factory. Explosion from the factory area can be seen from multiple angles. VNIIR is a leading Russian developer, manufacturer, and supplier of hardware and software solutions for relay protection and automation, automated process control systems, electronic component base (electronic modules), electrical engineering products, radio-electronic products, as well as automation control systems and hardware and software solutions. They also produce antennas for anti drone protection. All airports in that region have been closed.
  9. Keep dropping those community notes about where he's from, keep reporting him, etc. My guess is Elmo removes the feature in a few days.
  10. The Witkoff recording leak is drawing a large amount of attention, especially given that Rubio and others would probably like to see him fall. A lot of attention, and none of it good. Trump is trying to distract/delay/whatever by sending him off to Moscow, but that was the wrong thing to do.
  11. She sounds like she understands how Congress works, almost like she's.....competent.
  12. More from Bloomberg And the envoy thing is happening
