Other than oby, who are you talking about ? This convoy keeps getting longer and longer, 17 mi now over 40 mi.

Before they patched it out, my V had a revolver in her hand. That made that scene with Judy hilarious.

FIFA banning Russia and all Russian clubs from international competitions - https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/media-releases/fifa-uefa-suspend-russian-clubs-and-national-teams-from-all-competitions Interesting to see if this will be consistent going forward. They are all opposed to it on the basis that war is wrong.

Who mentioned escorts, Bruce.... 😛

Or just these, but hopefully not. Got a barrage (no pun intended) of press about these scary weapons over the weekend. Strange given how old an idea these weapons are and they've been used before.

Having to do that is making me want to quit my current job.

Turkey getting good marketing material for their drones.

The generic rage it leaves me with has supplanted caffeine as my morning pick-me-up. But so far r/combatfootage is relatively free of cheerleading for any side and is good at spotting old footage. I guess people that are into war porn have some use.

Remembered this ad from nowhere.

Some sort of ammo dump ?

EU aid including fighter jets - I guess any leftover MiGs Poland or others have.

Humour!

My military victory? Hm ok. My statement was a bit tongue in cheek, too. Although not sure how realistic a no fly zone by NATO is, isn't all that defensive in nature for their members.

Well, mostly just skimming all these "OSINT" people for it. In a more light hearted tone, some amusing media coverage

All I keep seeing are wrecked columns, annihilated groups, Russian forces demoralized, etc., heh. Apparently the An-225 got damaged in the fighting (surprised it was still there given the tension), Ukraine government saying it was destroyed, Antonov says they don't know. Shame

Seems Ukraine's winning handily enough without the need for a no fly zone or more direct NATO support, strange they keep asking for it.

Yes, no pasaran. Just not sure if they have time. Well unless it plans to be mostly foreign SF, hah.

Was wondering what was taking him so long for not mentioning some culture war nonsense. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-establishing-foreign-legion-volunteers-abroad-president-2022-02-27 Seems like too late for this, hopefully no under prepared morons go for it

What, again? I am beginning to doubt this airfield is real.

Yep, On Reddit I did get a kick of r/combatfootage wanting to be pro-Ukraine, when for stuff like Syria/Iraq/Libya it's just war porn to get off on.

I thought they already were there

Shame it came out as fake before Sabaton could compose some cheese-tastic BS song about him.

I thought Ukraine forbade men 18-60 (WTF is with that upper band) from leaving, though debatable who or how anyone is enforcing that.

Guess he is losing it. Oh ok, took them survival and looking out for yourself as separate as they're redundant otherwise, no big deal. German finance minister said SWIFT removal is still viable, so at least that's there for what it's worth.
