Watched some homeless guy challenge a building to fight. The building won. This city has a certain charm, I have to say.

Clearly this is NATO's fault.

Supposedly the latest patch has good feedback, we'll see what Rhykker tells people to repeat later on today I guess I'll have to give that a go, for now I am skipping Wing Commander 2 and tackling 3, just beat Ariel by being cowardly and lowering the difficulty from ace to rookie for the second missons (useless wingman in Wing Commander as usual). Pretty fun, downside is this game led us to have the somehow inferior Wing Commander movie.

And Butusov has always been pretty pessimistic, in past.

Shuffling around, not sure if that's a promotion or what. Wonder what Surovikin is up to, last I'd heard he left Africa to go home via jet, heh

They've augmented their forces with pickaxes.

When the IDF piles up dead civilians, at least they have the out of saying they had to use inaccurate weapons because the US was mean.

The reaction to Israel not getting a couple of shipments of JDAMs is getting hilarious. You'd think without those bombs, the IDF will be annihilated by Hamas.

Well he was at the parade. Who knows what these rumours are, anyway. Probably from that gold standard of Sushko.

Glad to hear you didn't die, Guard Dog.

Good read Gorth.

Seeing their dumb**** fans suffer is always good.

Wonder how many SS the Ukrainians have. Well or the UK for that matter, they've ceased production, no?

Finished Caesar 4, the last economic mission was a hard one, ended up nailing everything down but the Culture rating, so much hell trying to work with that map's hills. Of course if I were in any way intelligent I'd have planned it out with blocks and beat the game in 10 in game years rather than the 54 I actually did, but c'est la vie. All in all not a bad game, changing away from walkers was a good one, at the very least. Agent AI is a bit messed up, guys going to a market across town rather than the one right across from their house. Reminded me of the hidden food preference in C3 for market ladies, oh the chaos that created

It's worth considering if Russia breaks the front line and if Ukraine asks. Very strong indeed. "I have a clear strategic objective: Russia cannot win in Ukraine. If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be no security in Europe. Who can pretend that Russia will stop there? What security will there be for the other neighbouring countries, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and the others?" I guess he, too , forgot NATO exists.

I liked the sign that Western staff can skip the queues, at least they have a sense of humour

https://www.axios.com/2024/04/29/icc-congress-netanyahu-israel-gaza Heh, missed this.

Is it illegal to have EW equipment as a regular civilian?

He's an ex-cop, you know. And yes, I heard those vague statements, undoubtedly all Soros funded Leftist Commandos. Heh.

If those students were not put down, there'd be a mushroom cloud over NYC before we knew it.
