  1. But #1 in rushing per game.
  2. Lots of open ground between the east bank of the Dnipro and the pre February fortifications near Donetsk. If and when the Ukrainians push the Russians off the east bank of the Dnipro, I could see the next push north to south between Dnipro and Donetsk. Potentially to get in position to put Melitopol, Berdyans'k and Mariupol under pressure, cut Russian east to west movement and put all the resupply ports on the Azov under fire. Ukrainians on the west bank offer fire support and keep Russians in place on the east bank of the river under threat. Maybe this is wishful thinking but would massively exacerbate the already stretched Russian logistics. Regarding Ukrainian offensive timing, some of the videos we have been seeing are starting to show some mud problems and slow down the pace of advance/resupply. I do believe the Ukrainians keep the pressure on once the fields freeze if they have the capability. Keep pressure on the Russians and force the mobilization troops to be used as piecemeal stopgaps.
  3. In some of the responses it's being said that Russians were using blue tape to help in breakout attempt. Can't tell but it does look more like Russian camo than Ukrainian. Take it all with a grain of salt. Allegedly there is some telegram videos with lots of dead Russians, haven't been able to find them yet.
  4. Midnight mobilization practice
  5. The word you are looking for is surrender. The correct answer, nuts. Now go fuck off.

    Hudson Card

    Lol, this fucking guy.
  7. +1. Fantastic read
  8. Well that's fucking something. Don't forget about the SIMs and the Nazi patch.
  9. It really boils down to being able to pull the trigger on throws with at least a hint of anticipation. Card doesn't do that. That equates to more sacks and missed opportunities in the passing game. As a result the offense is extremely limited.
  10. Fucking up the European underwater infrastructure and lie his face off about it. Which might be what you are referring to by turning off the gas.
  11. The only "game-managing" QBs that have ever won shit, have been on teams that were completely dominant at almost every other position. We are not. We need a difference maker at the most important position. Hopefully one day, we will be talented enough that we won't.... but that is at minimum 4-years out.
  12. I actually think the defense will get home several times this week. Every QB we have played this week has been fairly elusive. JT Daniels is not that. We have been fine to good against the run. We obviously need to play much, much better on 3rd/4th down, but I think JT Daniels lack of mobility does help us in that regard. Let's hope the offense can be more consistent in the second half, and the Ewers and Worthy are a go.
  13. Yes, plus locomotives and rolling stock. Interestingly enough a lot of these went via the Pacific to Vladivostok. We transferred ships to the USSR who had a treaty with Japan to allow transfer of non war materials with Japan getting to inspect ships. Everything from food, to raw materials, to trucks, trains and other shit went this way. It was the highest volume lend lease route to the USSR.
  14. A little early for Pattons but they did get Stuarts and Grants/Lees to compliment the Shermans. Recommend the book Commanding the Red Army's Sherman Tanks: The World War II Memoirs of Hero of the Soviet Union Dmitriy Loza - it's a quick but interesting/fun read. Ironically one of the points he compliments the Sherman on is having lower ground pressure than T-34 or German tanks allowing them to surprise the Germans during Rasputitsa in Ukraine.
  15. Agree. But if you need the embassy to tell you not to go to a Russian protest of mobilization as a American male between 16-Death, you deserve to be mobilized. Good news is you are so fucking insanely dumb, you will be a net negative to the Russian army. Fair point. While Putin may announce martial law, the country is already operating under martial law and if not fully on a war footing, it's not far away. But as you say, who the fuck knows what that fuckbag is going to say on the 30th.
  16. It's been said many times before, but this thread is fucking great. The range and depth of topics discussed. The high level information throughput. The laughs and the dusty moments. Fucking proud to be a part of this community.
  17. Wouldn't that be tied to the mobilization that is on going? Added bonus, if you do show up and film it, good chance you are about to get to film some close in trench warfare.
  18. It looks if some might be waking up but still very early and a lot to do. CNBC Article - Leading chipmaking nations including the U.S. are forming alliances, in part to secure their semiconductor supply chain and to stop China from reaching the cutting edge of the industry, analysts told CNBC. Places including the United States, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, which have strong semiconductor industries, have looked to forge partnerships around the critical technology.
  19. While possible, and I understand you are just giving examples, it's very unlikely we would go from insisting Ukraine to not use our weapons to hit Russian territory to blowing up pipelines in the Baltic.
  20. Unfortunately it looks like it's a parody account but God damn is it good.
  21. Damn, things are heating up on Russian TV
  22. Germany - they love to play the innocent victim card
  23. They look guilty AF to me
  24. It was obviously a joint operation between the Norwegians, Danes and Poles. They wanted some fireworks for the grand opening of their new pipeline.
  25. They are going to blame the US to sow discord between our allies.
