gehringer_2 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Anyone seen any reporting on how Vlad's litany of atrocities is playing in China? Is China allowing any coverage, is any of what they are allowing honest? Is Xi going doubling down with Vladdy or maybe looking for some distance from being his BFF?

Very practically speaking, the only humanitarian aid that can help these civilians is to kill the Russian army keeping them hostage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Interesting https://www.yahoo.com/news/head-russian-hypersonics-lab-arrested-123032785.html Quote MOSCOW (Reuters) -The director of a Russian laboratory working on hypersonic missiles, a weapon where President Vladimir Putin claims a strategic advantage for Russia, has been arrested on suspicion of treason, the state-run TASS news agency reported on Friday. Hypersonic missiles can travel at up to nine times the speed of sound, and Putin has said that Russia's are unmatched and will be deployed with the navy in the next few months. Andrei Shiplyuk heads the hypersonics laboratory at the Novosibirsk Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and has in recent years coordinated research to support the development of hypersonic missile systems, according to the institute's website. Last month, TASS reported that another senior scientist at Shiplyuk's institute, situated in Novosibirsk's Soviet-era Akademgorodok science park, around 2,800 km (1,750 miles) east of Moscow, had also been arrested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 War seems to be a lull before whatever the next storm is going to be. Russian advances have pretty much come to a complete halt. The question is whether that means momentum is actually swinging to the Ukrainian side or the Russians are just reconstituting for the next go.

That you know about this is cause for my mad respect. I will defer further discussion on this matter until other things happen to show why this is a huge deal.
