  1. This. Except if you deliberately adopt the language of the oppressors as part of some sort of affinity with the bastards
  2. Anti-aircraft system it appears.
  3. As always...be careful projecting and be dispassionate when considering anything likely to be biased like this. The RAF didn't have nearly the success the BBC said it had in September 1940 but it still won and it also won because the British government through the BBC kept the World and the British people in the fight.
  4. Dude is lucky not to be pink mist
  5. Stalin once famously asked how many divisions did the Pope have Still, moral condemnation beats silence.
  6. Bear this in mind when you see anything having to do with this organization going forward
  7. So early. The actual professional intel people looking specifically at this stuff (not me) are paid to be rational, cold and not emotionally invested. I'm totally invested in the passion of Ukraine.
  8. A win is defined as Ukraine remaining an army in the field and a resistance in any place Russia has occupied. Actual battlefield victory will require a lot more time and resources.
  9. Expect to see more of this from opportunist pols with large Yookie diasporas in their districts.
  10. Lend lease these suckers to the Ukrainian air force
  11. I have been wondering about what happened once daylight happened today. It does not appear that Russia trusts its Gomer Pyles to fight at night.
  12. Excellent. I wondered if Ukraine would extend the conflict into Russia
  13. You can fix a bridge
  14. So, I love the story. Refer to the story of the Angel of Mons from WWI for the likelihood that this is real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_of_Mons What is excellent is that the Ukrainian Air Force is stopping Russian air dominance. If Ukraine can put a lid on its key infrastructure and strategic sites they can win.
  15. BUT, there was this as well
  16. My Grandfather immigrated to the US in early 1900s from London where he was superfluous to needs for the family business of running a gambling hall. Anyway...he gets here, goes through WWI hearing all about his English brothers fighting in the trenches and then signs up and heads to France where he arrives on Armistice Day -- very similar to G2's story. So, the family story was that he signed up on Armistice Day.
  17. This was identified as a ballistic missile intercept. Notable.
  18. And the Armenia that attacked Azerbaijan was allied with an evil regime in Putin.
  19. This feels like it spun out on its wheels of historical inaccuracy. Does someone think the US doesn't help its allies?
