Archbishop, having soldiers in an active combat situation engage in fasting is barmy. Their spiritual needs are one thing. They need calories so they can kill God's enemies.
Bald and Bankrupt has a video from the day before the invasion of the Russian/Ukraine border. He's been one of my go-to vloggers on what Russia and FSU looks like.
This is very interesting. He talks to people who don't see the war coming.
fun to poke at the bear...not sure what conclusions to draw.
Russia might just be a football team with mediocre 1st half and now that they've figured out the other team's tendency they can get their game on.
Ok, now that I've been looking for them. This is the Ukrainian TB-2 UAV. It bodes very well that they have these engaged. The Russians are terrified of these.
One caveat about the Russian soldiers stealing food. They may just want to get better food. We frequently would go "on the economy" when on exercises in Germany to get snacks, beer, cokes not supplied to us.
