  1. Ehh, just combine the two, we'll call it "Fire Island". Or "Fire Festival"
  2. Belgorod has over 300,000 people. Would be interesting if this is a run-up to either taking out power for more cities around Russia, or practice runs for some of the largest cities. It could be that they want to make things difficult in Belgorod because it's close and is probably a major hub for pushing supplies and troops into Ukraine. At this point, I doubt they hit that fuel depot in Crimea for shits and giggles - they're probably going to hit the pipelines/pumping stations that push fuel to Crimea sometime soon (and perhaps they already have in the previous weeks), or if they can damage enough of the storage depots, it makes it harder to distribute.
  3. Ukraine doing work tonight, multiple power plants inside of Russia, one of the largest fuel depots in Crimea, air base in Crimea. This is the second thermal power plant - Klintsy This is the first - Luch Thermal Power Plant
  4. Moments ago, Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck the Feodosia fuel terminal in Russian-occupied Crimea, setting the massive storage facility ablaze. The fuel dump is one of the largest in Crimea.
  5. Somebody is going to look up Mr. rogers in the future and get this
  6. You had to put that song in my head, and now I’m thinking about Shrek.
  7. The country western singer in Tom Segura’s Bad Thoughts was also driving one, and perfectly on-brand.
  8. If you like stories about medieval history, particularly the Black Plague in Italy, The Decameron is pretty damned good. Didn’t even recognize Tony Hale. Tom Segura’s Bad Thoughts is pretty good as well.
  9. For a long time I was a fan of them hammering Moscow in some spectacular attack aimed at the Kremlin. I recognize now that it would play into Putin’s hands of Ukraine being this scary threat to their existence and would get many Muscovites behind him. Instead, a steady strangulation of the oil and gas infrastructure builds the pressure up on the large cities and all citizens, and when it happens over weeks and months it makes Putin look incompetent, impotent, and over his head.
  10. We are talking about a boomer who parrots Fox News talking points and who followed Tucker Carlson for a long time. There’s not much reasoning with a lot of those types. edit: He was…not on the side of Ukraine for a long time. I would love to know what got through to him, but my gut says Trump trash-talking Russia did it.
  11. AISD going down the shitter further. UT aligning itself with Trump. UT football falling apart.
  12. President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić: Everyone is preparing for conflicts. To be completely honest, everyone is getting ready for war. The only question is which side someone belongs to. And we would like to avoid wars. We would like to avoid conflicts. B ut I’m afraid no one wants to listen to anyone anymore. Everyone is really and seriously preparing for wars.
  13. Hero of Ukraine Vladyslav Stotskyi - Senior Lieutenant of the National Guard, platoon commander of the “Svoboda” battalion of the 4th “Rubizh” brigade - speaks about life on the frontline today: “You sit in a burrow underground, camouflaged, you can’t go out into the fresh air. Natural needs - in plastic bottles or bags, no hygiene. You sleep in blankets or sleeping bags next to your brothers-in-arms to keep warm. During the day it’s hot, at night it’s cold. Nearby there may be dead occupiers lying around - the smell is constant.” “When we were encircled for almost 70 days, we did everything we could: set up communications, ran wires, put up antennas, searched for food. We picked up things from Russian backpacks when they came close - took canned food, water, cigarettes. We didn’t throw away our weapons, we didn’t surrender.” “Right now, about 90% of enemy manpower losses are caused by drones, the rest - artillery, tanks, infantry. That’s why drones are needed more than anything else. And we don’t have enough UAVs.”
  14. The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck the missile ship Grad of Project 21631 Buyan-M on Lake Onega (Republic of Karelia, Russia). The missile carrier was en route from the Baltic Sea to the Caspian Sea. The strike hit the starboard side of the ship’s engine compartment. Additional details are being clarified. The damaged Grad is one of Russia’s newest and most modern ships, commissioned into the Baltic Fleet on December 29, 2022. Its main armament is the Kalibr-NK missile system. How the war has changed. The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces strike a missile carrier in Karelia! And no one is really surprised anymore. Because over these years, there have been so many remarkable events, so many feats achieved by Ukrainians, that for many, such news now seems almost ordinary. We ourselves have stopped fully realizing just how incredible Ukraine’s achievements are. And there will be even more to come.

  15. I have probably seen him and moved quickly past at some point in the past year. I’m glad he’s solid and that my relative has been following him.
  16. What the hell, why would you tell people your spouse and step-granddaughter are in Alcoholics Anonymous? Edit: and her girlfriend is in public relations? Why would you tell people that?
  17. I have a feeling their NCOs are soldiers who have survived more than 6 months.
  18. This is what impunity looks like: war criminal Putin openly mocks drones in Europe, calls Europeans' concerns "panic," and compares UAVs to UFOs, reports Bild. What's more, when asked during a speech in Sochi whether he had launched drones into Denmark, he laughed, waved his hand dismissively and replied: "Okay, okay, I won't do it again. Not to France, not to Denmark. Where else do they fly? To Lisbon." To which the host advised him not to joke like that, saying that Europe has a poor sense of humor.
  19. Russia remains open to dialogue. Russia remains open to resolving all problems peacefully, through political and diplomatic means. Russia does not pose a threat to Europe, to European countries, or to NATO. To claim otherwise is absurd, and it is nothing other than a deliberate escalation of the situation, including as a way to cover up a large number of domestic problems at home.
  20. They've lost 11 generals - we lost 18 to enemy fire in WW2, which was a little bigger than this.
