  1. This is a remarkable thread My colleague who made a career of following low-level Russian ops says "nothing surprises me"
  2. This was astounding. When i saw this I immediately referred to a colleague who has a bit more experience They told their troops this was an exercise and prepared accordingly. Hence the troop's lack of discipline.
  3. Yeah, how is it not? We were warm toward Yeltsin. That vestigal support for corrupt but lovable Boris was what kept us from smelling how bad Vladdie was.
  4. Xi wants the things from Russia. Sorry
  5. he wants some things from Russia that he does not have
  6. surely George Soros is involved somewhere. Plus Satan and the other lesser devils.
  7. I don't want to alarm anyone but A little piece of Gen X hysteria from our most paranoid half decade 1980-1984
  8. well, this is interesting. Not sure how they will get there but they are going to go via non-NATO airspace.
  9. This is how wars have a dynamic all their own. If Ukraine were to be infected with corrupt and craven leaders (still) like the Afghans and there were not people standing in the breech like Z and leaders in the West like Biden who sees the bullying for what it is, then the Ukrainian resistance would be limited and sad.
  10. The aha moment here is that he is trying to avoid sanctions on behalf of Putin's croneys so they can funnel their cash, their fuel etc.
  11. He's really threading a needle since he owes his regime survival to Putin.
  12. Zelensky won't be hurt if someone throws a tent peg into the turf.
  13. The west is throwing a lot of hardware into Eastern Europe and we may be entering Hunt for Red October levels of dangerous intermingling.
  14. The whole world wasn't condemning OSU's blatant recruiting violations and hand-wave approach to academics. The problem will be if the Michigan Football program drags the Baltimore Ravens into the game because of its natural sympathies and that leads to a larger game.
  15. Good news overall for European stability. If he was willing to allow Putin to use his army it would have raised the spectre of Vladdie making a grab for a corridor to Kaliningrad
  16. Zelensky getting a standing ovation at EU parliament
  17. seems reasonably accurate.
  18. I also pumped my fist when I saw this. (it gets noisy)
  19. JUST heard the blurb on my Morning Joe that Belarus won't send in its army. That's decisive to save Ukraine. They won't create new stresses on the forces in Western Ukraine.
  20. RT is still on Directv. WTF AT&T
  21. Without confirmation, something like this coming out is intended to add to his paranoia.
  22. They need about 12 A-10s. The Ukrainians are hammering the convoys with TB-2s though.
  23. About half through this thread
  24. The Royal Welsh nee' Welch was the unit of Robert Graves of excellent WWI memoir Goodbye to all of that and a bunch of other literary stuff but I don't know because i didn't read it. Glad to see other heavy units moving in besides ours.
