Wake me when they are bringing back the KV-1.

Lexx I thought of a legal German conundrum, what happens if a child has been  called Hitler and the first day of school  that child goes to school and tells the teacher " my name is Hitler " would he be arrested?

You might think Im joking but there are people in SA who identify  themselves as Hitler and its a black person. There is a  fairly regular caller on one of the talk shows who says his name is Hitler 

 

[Lexx]

You can't name your child Adolf or Hitler anymore around here. I mean, you can try, but it very likely will be denied, since that is a sure way of giving your child lifelong issues and trauma.

If by chance your name is Adolf or Hitler (old people most likely), it will of course not get you into jail, but you can be prepared for everyone making fun of you in some way.

Wonder if it's an issue of ammunition rather than tanks, if the tanks are actually going to Ukraine anyway.   Sure is a lot of old stuff deployed here, VIce had this hilarious puff piece https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxjqx4/ukraine-is-successfully-using-a-140-year-old-machine-gun-against-russia

More reports that Ukrainian pilots are training on Mirage fighters in France.
There might be some truth to it as it's still unclear why Ukraine is not as demanding of France as they have been of Germany.

Ukraine has officially denied it. For the time being.

They still admitted to some other forms of on-going air force training so I wouldn't discount it just yet.
This isn't first time this rumor is floated either.

Few days ago. UA and US have definitely confirmed training of some UA pilots on F-16 in US, though.

Another mysterious fire deep in Russian territory.

Sort of pointless for Blinken to say

[Zoraptor]

Should I bring up Biden voting for the Hague Invasion Act every time someone in his admin says something about hypocritical about the ICC issuing a warrant for Putin?

Well no, even I'd start to find that boring after the twentieth time.

[Keyrock]

I got a chuckle out of Biden rejecting China trying to broker a peace. Granted, the stance that China has ulterior motives and an agenda in brokering a cease fire is obviously correct. Still, if we are to believe that Imperial Murica is NOT engaged in a proxy war with Russia (dismissive_wank.gif), and only sending "defensive weapons" (whatever the **** that means) to Ukraine, then what gives Imperial Murica the right to accept or reject any sort of treaty between 2 other sovereign nations? Gotta keep that sweet sweet racket going for as long as possible, funneling money from the treasury into the pockets of Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and the like, all while palms all around the Capitol are getting nice and greasy, and the best part is that it's happening thousands of miles away with non-Americans getting slaughtered by the thousands. Good times for everyone, except us taxpayers, who will ultimately foot the bill for the billions of dollars the fat cats in DC keep pumping into the war to keep it going as long as possible, and, more importantly, the Ukrainians and Russians dying.

Was interesting to see McCain voted against that.

Believe me, if Russia gets into Eastern Yurop, it will cost you much much more

Possible Ukrainian counter-offensive in Bakhmut, imagine if that  happens. Its going to cause huge anxiety amongst Vatniks especially considering " Bakhmut has fallen for over 70 days now "

A very informative  read about life as a Ukrainian soldier. Sad that one of the guys, Vitalii, was killed

So Pravda has access to the frontline conflict or do they have access to areas that are not active?

It is certain Amerika will bomb Europe before Russia.

I mean they already did...

[BruceVC]

Some spirited words in support of Ukraine from Georgia Meloni the Italian PM

I remember when she was elected and how Vatniks thought this will lead to less support for Ukraine from the EU 

 

[Mamoulian War]

A theory, why UA has still not pulled out of Bakhmut, despite less favourable K/D ratio than in wintertime.

 

[HoonDing]

Did Ms Meloni always look like a corpse?

She doesn't understand how spectator sports work.

Quote

Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar claimed on social media that only three people had the right to disclose military plans publicly - the president, the minister of defence, and the commander in chief.

"All others can only quote them," she wrote. "Please stop asking experts questions about a counter-offensive on the air, please stop writing blogs and posts on this topic, please stop publicly discussing the military plans of our army."

At least she said please.

Guess she could have threatened to put everyone who ignored her on Myrotvorets instead.

Interesting to see the intentional misspelling of America on this page of this thread (twice). I mean, that's one good way to establish your argument as almost certainly not worth taking seriously.

Speaking of interesting things, here's something on the Nord Stream sabotage. Whether this is true or not, I certainly cannot say:

I linked here video few months ago which has talked about the same hypothesis, and had some pretty sound reasoning behind it. By the same guy I linked above.
