  1. To me it’s weird because: A) nationalizing won’t increase production B) nationalizing oligarch’s personal assets may actually get Putin killed B) nationalizing doesn’t give him the ability to blame the oligarchs for everything C) so if he does nationalize, when things are even worse a year from now, Putin’s fig leaf of plausible deniability will be even smaller and there will be less people to deflect blame to. Bad politik.
  2. Putin threatening to nationalize defense companies if they don’t get the production up. Weird. I’m guessing just political posturing.
  3. 30 turkeys around the house this morning. 9 toms.
  4. Forgot to mention there was a tom with 9 hens by the house when we drove in and we heard a bunch of gobbling, so that was fun too.
  5. Had a good afternoon at the ranch today. Our little spring started running again a month or so ago, and I planted some apples adjacent to it. They’re doing well but I needed to put some bigger cages on them and got that done today: Took the 10yo and she played with the catfish for awhile, did a little casting: Did a little .22 target shooting and got my nightvision scope sighted in on my AR. Kid is into spray paint graffiti apparently now as can be seen.
  6. Well, we’re there. Russian dude puts his hands up after the first grenade as though he would like to surrender to the drone. Drone operator declines and gives him another grenade. Is surrendering to a drone legally a surrender?
  7. The best part for me is that after the APC doors open, the drone operator waits a few seconds longer than I was expecting to drop the grande. It’s like he was fully expecting the clusterfuck and was waiting for it to fully metastasize before fraging them. A true artist.
  8. Looks like Vasques’ unit maybe heading downrange in assorted technicals and trucks/vans. Would be a lot cooler if these dudes were rolling out in armor.
  9. Drone grenade on Russians unloading out of an APC. The clusterfuck at the back of the APC pre-grenade is kinda interesting. Who’s staying? Who’s going? Who’s shot? I’m not shouting, you’re shouting! Boom!
  10. Apparently at this same tank in Vilnius with the Soviet Nostalgia Dumpster, a guy tried to leave a toilet by the tank, but I think the cops overruled him. The toilet was marvelous while it lasted. Really tied the room together.
  11. UA assaulting a Russian held trench. Looks like a scene from WWII. One of the UA guys gets clipped, but still moving, Russians get lit up pretty good. Outcome unclear. The fact that the Ukrainians are assaulting trenches on foot is something different. Would have been really nice to drop a drone grenade on the Russians right before you storm the trench.
  12. Dude’s body armor stopped a 30mm round, fairly impressive:
  13. There is a big divide in Eastern Europe between the folks nostalgic for Soviet times and everybody else:
  14. That’s a lot of trucks lined up, maybe the UA has something cooking:
  15. flashback to first great stolen Russian armor vid:
  16. Resnikov getting out of a Leopard: “Excuse me, where is the road to Moscow?”
  17. I don’t understand why Lukashenko would admit this:
  18. Klitschko. Will be interesting to see later if it’s just a photo op or if the guy is heading east. Fighters fight.
  19. Girkin with a real rant calling Gerasimov a cretin and saying they’ll be naked and barefoot by mid year without a Chinese lend-lease.
