  1. "Surgical" and yeah, probably no boots on the ground.
  2. Moscow and St. Petersburg are locked up pretty tightly with anti-aircraft (which is why so many other Russian sites are getting hammered). All they have to do is shut down pipelines/pumping facilities that are sending fuel to Moscow and St. Petersburg and they can accomplish shutting down the cities. It would be sexier to hit the power plants within the two major cities, but gradually bringing a lot of their grid to a crawl makes Putin look worse in some ways - a slow-moving trainwreck he couldn't stop.
  3. Hopefully Russia keeps clowning him. For whatever reason, he actually understands that wrecking Russia’s oil & gas infrastructure is actually a winning strategy.
  4. Trump is desperate to get a peace award of any kind. And to distract from the shutdown and the National Guard fuckery.
  5. Marriage does that to a man.

    Rush

    I'm just glad that there will finally be a woman at a Rush concert.
  7. I think he believes it will be like Panama or Grenada. It's scary because he really needs a distraction after he keeps getting embarrassed at home and with the shutdown starting to fuck things up (the last 3 shutdowns were under him). He really wants other nations to fear him, all the while he doesn't realize that Europe and China are starting to replace us on the world stage. This is what the real problem is (not the oil, although that will come into play) - it's in our backyard. I'm putting it at pretty good odds that we do something serious in the next few weeks.
  8. @PTINS may have the numbers, but it's a lot. And the two refineries on this map below Moscow, and the two near Sochi may have been hit since since this article came out in August. Ukraine Is Systematically Striking All Major russian Refineries At Distance of Up to 1000 km (Map) | Defense Express And the Ukrainians are putting pressure all across the oil & gas infrastructure - pipelines, pumping stations, fuel depots (Russia doesn't have as much static storage I believe), refineries, etc., so it's a lot of chaos- even if a refinery is up and running, it may not be able to receive enough to stay running 24/7 or it may not be able to push much downstream if the pumping stations or fuel depots are offline. And they will fall back to rail, but damage to railways/engines has been happening here and there and Russia can't get their trains too close to Ukraine these days.
  9. This will hopefully piss off Trump since it's a jab at the US. A “Moscow Format” meeting is underway in Moscow with Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in attendance, his first visit since Russia officially recognized the Taliban government in July. Lavrov stated that any foreign military infrastructure in Afghanistan is unacceptable and discussed prospects for bilateral relations.
  10. The fire at the Feodosia oil depot, struck by Ukrainian drones on the night of October 6, remains active. Flames have spread to additional storage tanks, with four large ones now at risk. Tanks marked in red were hit in previous strikes, while those in yellow are threatened as the fire risks spreading to two more.
  11. With so much shit going sideways today, on purpose, occasionally something good does happen, like Rush going back on tour.
  12. Now hold on there, that sounds like some states rights bullshit coming out of South Carolina, and we can’t have that - maybe President Trump needs to send some troops down there to occupy a fort and teach South Carolinians a lesson.

  14. U.S. President Donald J. Trump has called off efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement regarding combating drug trafficking and the cartels with Venezuela, paving the way for a potential military escalation against narco-terrorists or the Government of Nicolás Maduro, according to several U.S. officials who spoke with the New York Times. Last Thursday, President Trump spoke with Richard Grenell, who is currently serving as Special Envoy for Special Missions and is leading diplomatic efforts with the Maduro Regime in Venezuela, instructing him that all diplomatic outreach, including his talks with Mr. Maduro, were to immediately stop, as tensions have grown recently between Grenell and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Officials state that the Trump Administration has drawn up multiple military plans for an escalation with Venezuela, with those operations possibly including plans designed to force Maduro from power, over claims that his government is actively directing and supporting drug cartels operating in Venezuela against the United States.
  15. Can’t believe Su-25s are still around. Played this dos game back in the 90s
  16. I can tell you that elementary and middle-school aged kids do not seem to like the movie, but the sample size I have is small.
  17. It’s gonna get scrapped. They had too many problems with it. I don’t think they could really move it anywhere. Hell, the crew is fighting as infantry in Ukraine.
  18. Crimea is a weird way to spell Moscow.
