  1. It's been coming for weeks now - Ukrainian forces are outnumbered anywhere from 5 up to 8-to-1. It's one of the places that Ukraine has been using to kill a lot of Russians and destroy a lot of Russian vehicles. It's going to be a Pyrrhic victory for Russia. They've tied up something like 10,000 - 15,000 Russian troops there, and wiped out a lot of mobile troops.
  2. So did the B-52….but that’s crazy for a fighter. And the Russians are doing it in a country next door to them. We had to go to the other side of the world to do that.
  3. By the way, this is really funny when you imagine that he’s sitting there, saying that after filming has stopped and everybody has gone home.
  4. Imagine being the world’s richest man and living with this much fear.
  5. Was hoping this was about Christy Canyon.
  6. How do they have any kind of institutional knowledge? All of those lieutenants should be leading companies by now instead of pushing up sunflowers, and all of those captains and majors should either leading companies or in staff or executive officer positions. That's the equivalent of 7 years' worth of West Point grads being killed.
  7. So fucking weird to see F-16s still a big deal in the 2020s.
  8. "According to your words, they are savage imbeciles. So what would keep these savage imbeciles from carrying out a retaliatory strike? Did you already get a bunker?"
  9. Meanwhile, Ukraine going deep into Russia.
  10. She cleans up welll, in her 50s, likes powerful men, so in my wheelhouse.
  11. Interesting. I can think of only one reason why they are restricting travel even further - they are looking to draft a bunch of folks.
  12. Zelenskyy: Russia's 2025 losses in Ukraine total 346,000 – equal to troops drafted That is crazy to have over 346,000 killed and wounded Russians this year. No wonder they are putting the TB soldiers into the meat grinder. And another Russian armored assault was wrecked by Ukraine, as was another small-scale amphibious operation.
  13. If Russian governors are having to come out and reassure the people that pensions will get paid, public employees will get paid, etc. it's not a good look, especially just after Ukraine put a bunch of stuff into the area around Moscow. And if Rostov, which is a smaller republic, only around 4 million people, is struggling, I can't imagine what Moscow and St. Petersburg are dealing with. And it could also be a sign that exports are suffering - a chunk of Rosto'vs economy is focused on petrochemical. And that Gerasimov briefing was still weird as fuck.
  14. This could go in a lot of places, but our AG needs a new distraction and some red meat to throw to the *checks notes* batshit conspiracy types, so Texas is suing Tylenol because autism and ADHD. Probably in Tyler, Texas.
  15. Way earlier in the thread, somebody had a pretty good breakdown of how Afghanistan fell apart, like the various things that happened, that could be spotted in hindsight as contributing to or seen as indicating Russia withdrawing from Afghanistan. Need to get that timeline - the fact that a Russian governor of an important oblast is having to publicly assure the pensioners and public employees that they will continue to be paid while openly admitting they can't trust the banks is pretty interesting. Putting aside Ukraine's tactical sanctions against Russian oil & gas infrastructure, we keep seeing lots of sabotage of things tied to the power grid as well as the transportation infrastructure, we are seeing them not only target and destroy high-end air defense systems, but they are publishing the footage and that is very interesting. We saw Gerasimov publicly lying on Russian TV in a so-called report to Putin and being called out on it by Russian milbloggers. It feels like we are in a very weird time, that whole "things happen slowly then suddenly" time. Your typical Moscow or St. Petersburg resident is fully aware that Ukraine is hitting targets all around western Russia, and that their part of the power grid will go down at some point and possibly stay down for a while.
