Just don't pick one from a currently popular TV show. Choose one from a 70's popular TV show.

https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/what-russia-got-wrong-moscow-failures-in-ukraine-dara-massicot Interesting read on what the Russians screwed up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/02/09/ukraine-himars-rocket-artillery-russia/ Was wondering what gain is there in advertising the US' role being hands on to that degree with their long rang weapons, but was reminded that this is marketing for ATACMS.

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-curbed-ukraines-use-starlink-internet-drones-company-president-2023-02-09/ "SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, which has provided Ukraine's military with broadband communications in its defense against Russia's military, was "never never meant to be weaponized," Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, said during a conference in Washington, D.C. "However, Ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement," she said."

Seems making grinding progress near Bahkmut. Getting mauled in Vuhledar, guess that goes to show how hard assaults are going to be in either direction. This was amusing fear mongering too

Thought he died or something when I got a BBC alert, was just some generic propaganda speech

Girkin was Oby.

Apparently they sent a Tu-141 drone into Russia, instead of trying to hit a Croatian student residence

Well wasn't intended as a dodge, just disagreed there was an implication. But, now for an actual dodge, I should have said here as in majestic's words rather then generally - certainly can be situations where the equality is implied. Derailing is good, beats the usual crap in the Ukraine threads.

Well A and B overlapping doesn't mean A means B, is sort of grouping them together but I'm not in Austria so it may be the case there. But just is a bit much when I see either group complain that the other demonizes them and demands the other group come to them, is how people work I guess. I'm sure that assclown Melnyk is raging because they're not getting 2A7s for free, heh.

Eh, most of the time these people are catching what they're throwing too. But I forget, in these instances the mountain has to come to Mohammed But majestic did just say there was overlap, not that anti-vaxx means pro-Russian

Found the Dragon Book. Tried reading it and understood nothing, thus confirming I am dumber than I was in 2005.

Sort of a ridiculous binary in the title, but that's Youtube I guess

And in the new Russian offensive

I still also have these technical books I never did read. Should probably read them. Although I guess a C# 4.0 book isn't all that handy 😛

Maybe 157k casualties, but not killed.
