Good reminder to get up and get a drink when one of those strikes. Well and maybe do some laundry, cook a meal.

Impressive show, that procession. Was an odd moment where one soldier just walked among the formation, like he was correcting people or something.

Weird to mention the frontline distance of all things, considering all the weaponry wank. I guess the campaign on infrastructure continues, doubt this is arbitrary, heh.

Got Farthest Frontier, very Banished like. Need a search tool for the buildings.

Example of the true crime of this war, god awful taste in music.

Can't see why they would want to downplay the boogeyman in the Gulf, though. In any event, shouldn't be a surprise that the drones can do work, not a silver bullet or anything. Also I guess helps sell Ukraine's demand for some weapon to counter them, from the NYT feed today, all of Ukraine's artillery is at risk. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/09/18/world/ukraine-russia-war

Surprised they are still attacking Bakhmut while all this is going on. The Iranian drones the Russians got are working well - https://www.wsj.com/articles/russias-use-of-iranian-kamikaze-drones-creates-new-dangers-for-ukrainian-troops-11663415140 Could just be a US media outlet overhyping the danger as it's Iran, heh.

Of course they will, the USA is a country of laws.

And they can charge for it at that time.

You know what the Sahara is ? Same thing.

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise...

So ICBMs ? 😛

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-longer-range-us-missiles-kyiv-would-cross-red-line-2022-09-15/ Not too sure NATO's too scared of this. Well, maybe Iran will suddenly find a bunch of Topol-M's left unattended in a parking lot somewhere.

Flooding doesn't seem all that bad, I believe the rules say "the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population." https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/v1_rul_rule42 Nicely written too, lots of wiggle room

I guess they busted the dam to affect the river depth ? Hm, wonder what are worst case scenarios for the ZNPP though - it's a different type of reactor than Chernobyl they kept referencing in the news, for some reason. I'd expect any issue to be largely due to poisoning the Dniepr and I guess Black Sea as well, but not much further (as if that is a small distance) Lucked out huge there it was a dud.

Nope, Armenia post was wrong

I just took that scene to indicate people in NY truly don't care about anything.

When people talk about integration, the fact it's two-way never seems to come up much. Well that and everything always ends up very anecdotal

The Armenia situation is funny, recalling all the talk of order and justice earlier. US will need to donate a lot of weapons though, HIMARS is not God, either (the next US intervention will be interesting to see). I doubt Ukraine cares that much to push Georgia or wherever else as part of a peace treaty - they're going to try to push the war as an existential threat to Russia for what ?

Pretty sure that won't end very well for Georgia, though. No free US weapons heading their way any time soon.
