It’s as if Aggy produced this New Year’s Eve special. Also, like Aggy, they are the weirdest fuckers on earth. They captured the white supremacy part just perfectly. Just cringe-worthy variety acts with ludicrous propaganda interspersed.

OTOH, I can’t deny that there is some impressive talent present amongst some of the female on the sidelines.

I especially enjoyed some young Russian soldiers forced to explain how they are advancing across Ukraine broadly and about to be victorious. Uh-huh. You don’t say that line perfectly and you’re going to wind up in a ditch in Kupyansk with no food, water or ammunition within 24 hours.

Somehow the Pulp Fiction reference pisses me off most of all

There are reports indicating a deployment of 160th SOAR assets to RAF Fairford in the UK. In addition, two AC-130J aircraft have also recently deployed to the UK.

The specific mission set remains unclear at this time. However, several plausible explanations stand out:

A) Participation in a joint exercise with UK Special Forces.

B) Forward staging for a potential maritime interdiction or seizure operation, potentially involving sanctioned vessels such as BELLA 1.

C) A temporary staging node ahead of further deployment, either elsewhere in Europe or onward into the Middle East.

The fact that we are living Reese's words of warning from Terminator bring me zero comfort: "It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"

We humans are very, very, very good at creating killing machines. Instead of pausing to consider "so....MAYBE we shouldn't keep creating scenarios where 'create better killing machines' is the only rational response," we just keep on keeping on.

Layer in a psychopathic, religious devotion to "AI" with 100% emphasis on profits and power, and 0% emphasis on humanity or ethics.....well....

Trying to go after anti-air missiles or fighters?

I would guess helicopters. I've seen a few videos of door gunners in helicopters shooting these things down.

I posted this earlier in the wrong thread. Bit of sunshine pumping, but talks about how a lot of things that happened in 2025 are going to really start to have an impact here in 2026, and I tend to agree with some of it.

Russia is not replacing men fast enough and will have to go to mass mobilization in the major cities, and Russia's economy is just not that robust as the war costs more and revenue drops.

I want to believe.

I do as well. They are hurting for men and money, it’s just when will the breaking point hit.

Edit : and he mentions the defensive line that Ukraine has built that will slow down any serious Russian attempts at breakthroughs. Based on everything they’ve learned, Russian capabilities real and theoretical, and made with drones in mind. It’s impressive. Doesn’t have to stop the Russians totally, just funnel them into choke points or slow them down while the drones do their work.

I have absolutely nothing to back up my thoughts, but it seems not illogical that the Russian business and military culture based upon corruption and stealing - when faced with a universally recognized (even if not admitted) possibility of a severe recession and potential war end/regime change - would view those circumstances as significant motivation to now steal as much as possible as quickly as possible while they still can.

Russian front line logistics will not be improving. And I think only one side in the conflict will be giving their soldiers sufficient cold weather gear for this winter.

I’m still trying to figure out how they aren’t able to keep up production of motorcycles or utility vehicles. Something has happened with their procurement process and manufacturing for them to resort to horses, and to send so many men in without body armor and helmets. Not even shitty steel helmets.

Theft, corruption, sanctions? They were, for a while, importing cheap AtVs and golf carts from China. Has the money dried up to an extent that they are spending it elsewhere.

Time to start turning the Russian shitbox shadow fleet into driftwood.

US officials say that American forces plan to seize the Russian-flagged ship, which is accused of breaking sanctions.

Yesterday I published an analysis on the tanker MARINERA arguing that this was not a routine sanctions evasion case and not a simple oil shipment problem because the behavior around this vessel did not fit commercial logic and instead tracked with mission logic. Three hours later, the Wall Street Journal confirmed that Russia has deployed naval units, including a submarine, to escort MARINERA through the North Atlantic and deter any U.S. attempt to board or seize her, which materially changes how this transit should be understood.

See "The Ship Russia Would Not Abandon: A Collision Course Between Superpowers": https://x.com/UKikaski/status/2008659232812658862

States do not assign submarines to protect fuel cargo, and they do not escalate naval posture to defend a marginal tanker.. A submarine escort is not asset protection and it is not commercial risk management but deterrence signaling used when cargo, passengers, or onboard capability are politically or strategically sensitive. In my report, I assessed that MARINERA was likely tied to the movement of high value personnel, ISR capability, or sensitive mission equipment, and that the early U.S. interest combined with Russia’s political response suggested this was being treated as a protected transfer rather than a commercial shipment.

The Russian decision to deploy naval escorts, including a submarine, aligns with that assessment because oil and a rusty hull are replaceable while people and capabilities are not. This is why this case is now being handled as a contested movement operation rather than a shipping issue. This is also why it is drawing military assets, why it is being defended in the open, and why it should be analyzed as a strategic transfer problem rather than protecting a comparatively worthless shadow fleet asset.

The escort, as I predicted in my report, confirms that "Marinera" is not about sanctioned oil and never was
