War in Ukraine

Based on the speed and lethality of their non-retaliatory strikes, I'm not sure if Moldova should be scared or not. I suspect that Poland just fell out of their chairs laughing.

 

I sooo want this to be true. It’s perfect synergy and karma.

Germany thinks they are being clever, knowing that it is unlikely that the war will drag on for an entire year. They claim to support Ukraine with the idea of cutting off Russian oil and gas supplies, with no intention of actually doing so. If somehow Ukraine is still fighting a year from now, German politicians will come up with some other excuse for extending their use of Russian oil & gas.

 

I think it is true. At least - this was going around reddit a month ago or more and there were some military procurement dudes laying it out as truth.

 

I agree 100%. I would say we have about a month to present our allies with a feasible, suitable, and acceptable plan to provide them with an alternate supply of energy, roughly the same price and sustainable long-term. And then we have six months to start delivering. If we want to defeat Russia, this is an essential element of the strategy. The major obstacle I see is that the Administration needs to subordinate other considerations to the strategic goal of putting Putin on his ass, tell the extremists in their party to keep quiet until Russia is beaten, and maximize hydrocarbon production and export.

 

The story about Hitler’s grandfather is likely true. Hitler had his grandfather’s hometown destroyed in tank and artillery practice, perhaps to cover up that he was sufficiently ethnically Jewish to apply Germany’s laws to him. From the Jerusalem Post.

Ghost of Kiev kind of a myth but still cool

I saw that! Too perfect

 

It seems it became a collective "we" of Ukrainian pilots from the article. My guess is the original so-called Ghost died & the persona was adopted by more of them. Not only to keep their morale up but likely their people's.

 

Ukraine sunk 2 more boats. They're now part of Russia's special underwater operation.

 

Good find...for those who forget. There were protesters against WW2, too. Guess the US should've sat that one out because it didn't affect us...until it did, huh?

 

Good thread

 

This isn't original. The Germans of the Weimar said Hitler was a Jewish Bastard. It's been a while but the term may have been a shicklegruber?

 

Must be the new American tractors that all our farmers are complaining about.
