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.

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.

They've lost 11 generals - we lost 18 to enemy fire in WW2, which was a little bigger than this.

keep in mind, thats 11 confirmed generals that Russia (or sources in Russia) admits were killed by Ukr

 

In the first 5 months Ukraine claimed 7-8 Generals, gave names,  2 or 3 are on the list today, but several had to be removed because They havent found confirmation -or in the case of the "retired" major general who was a pilot shot down in the 4th or 5th month he didnt count because Russia claimed he stole the plane and took off on his own. 

however, I remember someone did some research and almost every single one of the named generals who Ukraine claimed they killed hasnt been seen, shown in correspondence or listed as reassigned since they were named.

 

1 or 2 may have been reported later as falling out of a window and thuse not "killed" by Ukraine.

Where are the computer servers that run the Russian banking system located?   Are they dumb enough to make those accessible to flamingos and Tomahawks? They have to be somewhere near Moscow…

So one of my older relatives, who has parroted Fox News/Russian talking points in the past, sent me a video this morning that "I need to see" about what's happening in Ukraine and Russia and that it will "catch me up on what's really happening" and that I need to subscribe to this guy and I'm all like

Here We Go Epix GIF by PENNYWORTH

And the name of the youtuber was "Jake Broe" so I immediately did think "oh fuck, here we go" because I figured it was some young dude that might be parroting Russian talking points, but nope.

We've had arguments discussions before, and ironically the guy literally drove M113s in Vietnam - it was only a couple of years out of his life back in the 1960s, but in his den he has several 8x10s of him and his buddies in the Army in Vietnam and with his M113, and he's got a large painting/print of an M113 in the jungle on his wall. He has admitted he's pleased that the M113s have a second lease on life, and I've gotten through to him on that.

Anyways, surprisingly, the video was not terrible. I can't stand the cadence/pacing/whatever, but this video is only about 12 hours old and has 300,000+ views, and that's good.  I don't know that I would listen to him again because I did not learn anything new, but I'm pleased my relative was following the guy, and I would recommend it to more boomer uncles (and dads).

 

 


I can’t believe you hadn’t heard of Jake. Dude has organized a few million-dollar fundraisers that go directly to Ukraine. You get used to his strange voice. At least he doesn’t sound like Patrick Mahomes. He allows you to stop following this on twitter (or wherever) and catch up in 30 minute listens a few times a week.

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.

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.”

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.

A Russian drone strike on a railway station in the northeastern Ukrainian region of Sumy wounded at least 30 people, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday. Russia's army has repeatedly targeted Ukraine's railway infrastructure since invading in February 2022. Zelensky called the strike on Shostka station in Sumy "savage". "So far, we know of at least 30 victims" including passengers and railway staff, he said. He posted a video showing a mangled train carriage engulfed in flames with twisted metal and busted windows.

 

 

Populist billionaire Andrej Babiš’s triumph in the Czech parliamentary elections is expected to reduce the EU member country’s support for Ukraine. Babiš has said he would review a Czech-led international drive to supply artillery shells to Ukraine, launched by the previous government, and “discuss it with President Zelenskyy” if necessary. “We are clearly pro-European and pro-Nato,” he added to dispel fears he might draw the Czech Republic closer to EU mavericks Hungary and Slovakia, refusing military aid to Ukraine and opposing sanctions on Russia.

Frankly, if the relative you thought was a problem is pointing you to Broe, you’re the problem. You’re doing a piss poor job finding common ground and conveying your message. It would be like you and I arguing about the US supporting Ukraine. Which, apparently, we’ve started supplying satellite intel for air defense locations to help Ukraine hit vulnerable refineries and depots.

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.

That would be it. Most people parrot the talking points of their party. Very few people are truly independent thinkers. And the people who are independent thinkers most often get trashed by both sides.

At least five people were killed as Russia launched air strikes in western Ukraine early Sunday, raining missiles and drones on the Lviv region near the Polish border — forcing the NATO country to scramble jets to lock down its skies.

Lviv — only 43 miles from Poland — was pounded for hours overnight by missiles and Russian drones as air defenses fired furiously in all directions to fend off the attack, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said five people died and at least 10 others were injured in the attack. He estimated that Russia launched more than 50 missiles and 500 drones.

“Today, the Russians once again targeted our infrastructure – everything that ensures normal life for our people,” Zelensky said. “We need more protection and faster implementation of all defense agreements, especially on air defense, to deprive this aerial terror of any meaning.

“A unilateral ceasefire in the skies is possible – and it is precisely that which could open the way to real diplomacy. America and Europe must act to make Putin stop,” Zelensky said.

 

 

 

 

 

A witness told The Post the latest strike is “definitely the worst hit in Lviv since the beginning of the war.”

I have a feeling their NCOs are soldiers who have survived more than 6 months.

Their NCO's lead from behind, pilfer and steal from supply depots, get drunk with their cronies and haze the foot soldier to no end.  Its been that way since the beginning of time.  It's a poor Army of soulless bastards with zero regard for human life,  friend or foe.

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.

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.

It is snowing here in the mountains today in Montana - so I figured I would check the weather in Ukraine and Russia. Lows in the low 40s/high 30s for the week. Winter is coming.

Police fire water cannon at Georgia protesters near presidential palace

Opposition protests turned violent as riot police deployed tear gas and water cannon near the presidential palace.

 

By News Agencies
Published On 4 Oct 20254 Oct 2025

Georgian riot police have deployed water cannon, pepper spray and tear gas to disperse protesters who tried to storm the presidential palace in Tbilisi during municipal elections.

The clashes took place on Saturday after opposition groups, who had boycotted the vote, called for a “peaceful revolution” against the governing Georgian Dream (GD) party, accusing it of authoritarianism and adopting pro-Russia policies.

Thousands of people gathered in Freedom Square and Rustaveli Avenue waving Georgian and EU flags in what organisers said was a show of defiance against GD. Some later barricaded nearby streets, lit fires and clashed with riot police.

In the evening, a group of demonstrators moved towards the palace and attempted to break through the fence, according to witnesses.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs later declared the rally unlawful, saying it had “exceeded the norms set by law.” Police then pushed protesters back with force.

Georgia’s health ministry, quoted by local media, said 21 security personnel and six protesters were injured in confrontations.

“Today is the outcome of a deep crisis which is absolutely formed by our pro-Russian and authoritarian government,” protester Davit Mzhavanadze told local media, according to a report carried by Reuters. “I think this protest will continue until these demands will be responded to properly from our government.”

The governing GD, which announced it had won control in every municipality across the country of 3.7 million, rejected accusations of vote-rigging. The party, founded by billionaire and former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, denies being pro-Moscow. It says it seeks EU membership while maintaining stability with Russia.

Georgia, once seen as one of the most pro-Western states to emerge after the Soviet Union’s collapse, has seen its ties with Europe and the United States deteriorate since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The government froze accession talks with the European Union following last year’s disputed parliamentary election, sparking months of demonstrations.

Saturday’s confrontation was the most serious flare-up in months after earlier protests had lost momentum. Authorities had warned in advance that they would respond firmly to any attempt at what they described as a push for “revolution”.

Broe nailing it, like usual. Subscribe and donate. Subscribe to every pro Ukrainian channel because Russia targets and threatens every public figure that’s pro-Ukraine. It’s the only way we can resist the stupid assholes that lead Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc

Haven’t seen it mentioned here. Russia is now using horses on the front line too. Not just donkeys to move equipment, cavalry! We’re now getting FPV footage of horses being hit because Russia is a joke. Just surrender already, the outcome is obvious
