Great news though Bulgaria was helping before making it official.

"Bulgarian lawmakers approved the first military aid shipments to Ukraine since Russia invaded its neighbor in February, ending months of resistance from Russia-friendly political parties and the nation’s president.
The Balkan country, which has close cultural and economic ties with Russia, was one of only two NATO and European Union members to provide no weaponry to Ukraine so far in the conflict, with Hungary being the other.
A producer of Soviet-style machine guns and ammunition similar to those used in Ukraine, Bulgaria exports to other nations in the region, including Romania and Poland. Opposition parties have accused the authorities of selling arms to Ukraine through third countries while officially providing only humanitarian aid.
The government will now have a month to propose to parliament the type of equipment it can provide without reducing its own defensive capabilities. It will also hold talks with other NATO members to secure more modern equipment in exchange.
“At this stage we can’t provide heavy weaponry, because our country first has to get replacement platforms,” Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov told reporters in Sofia. "

SIAP-Comprehensive account of the air/sea drone attack on Sevastapol.
"More important than the sinkage of Russian flagship Mosvka, as significant as the liberation of Zmiinyi Island, and opening a new page in naval warfare: this is all about Ukraine’s attack on the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol on 29 October. And while the precise vessel used in the attack is not known, it is possible to make an educated guess.
The Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian fleet in Sevastopol of occupied Crimea was a “unique event, that will be no less significant in the history of Russia’s war” than Ukraine’s liberation of Zmiinyi Island from Russian occupation and blitzkrieg in Kharkiv Oblast, in which Ukraine retook more land from Russia in five days than Russia managed to occupy from Ukraine during five months. So military expert Volodymyr Zablotskyi assessed the mysterious naval operation reported to damage three Russian ships on 29 October on the air of Radio NV.
Here are four things to know about the surprise attack in which enigmatic surface drones reportedly disabled Russia’s current flagship Admiral Makarov."
The group of surface drones managed to get deep into the bay of occupied Sevastopol, where the Russian vessels were stationed, without being noticed. They attacked two to four ships by surprise in the night, causing massive explosions, according to footage from surveillance cameras.
As the Polish Defense-24 writes, the Russians only began defending themselves when Ukraine launched the second wave of attacks after sunrise, using artillery, machine guns, and helicopters sent in from Sevastopol."

All this dumbfvckery by Russia regarding logistics just reinforces my opinion that Putin's nuclear capabilities are not what Merica thinks.
Someone coming?
"Other images of traffic jams at the border between Donetsk and Russia (I don't understand, yet Donetsk was annexed"
"There is a traffic jam on the road between Marynivka (Ukraine - occupied area of Donetsk) and Kouibychevo (Russia). It still looks like a panic."

I find so much joy watching those little drones drop grenades on stuff. Big ole' tanks, stacks of ammo, entrenched orcs, whatever it is, I love it. A little thousand dollar drone and a guy with a cell phone just effing stuff up is awesome.
Unfortunately it doesn't require it to be what we think to still cause massive loss of life and damage.
Even if their arsenal is only 10% of what " 'merica" thinks it is, theyd still be the world #2 in terms of active/available nuclear weapons.
Whenever I see people question the validity of some of these intercepts they should see these. Only a Russian could break out a "sh*t in the commissars mouth", line.
"The Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade destroys a Russian infantry fighting vehicle. Possibly with the help of a German DM22 anti-tank mine."
Sorry to inject politics into this. Oh wait. It’s not me. It’s Russia.
Dear President Zalensky,
HORT has passed the 1000 page mark. You can now destroy Vlad and end the war ASAP.
Thanks,

WOW was that an awesome display!
How soon until co-panelist Tucker Carlson is openly calling for an end to US aid to Ukraine?
That is a great read. I have scoped out that harbor a few times on Google Earth, and it's amazing how deep they got into that harbor without being noticed. Either the Ukrainians are that good, or the Russians are s*** at security. It seems like the drone ships used in the attack were US made, or at least a copy? I like Kirby's comments. We handed those vessels over with the full knowledge they could be stuffed full of explosives.
@binsfeldcyhawk2 and others have said this is unpossible....
Really really weird that Russian media would support the GOP. Almost like they expect some beneficial outcome if the GOP controls the levers of government in the US nowadays...
You know what you've been spouting here.
And you know what I and others warned you about it.
Yeah they were US made.
"The Department of Defense is sending robotic ships to Ukraine to aid its fight against Russia. While the Pentagon is being tight-lipped about the vessels and what missions they’ll be performing, analysts gave FedScoop some insights into what the systems might be and what role they might play in the war.
A DOD fact sheet on the latest $800 million security assistance package announced Wednesday included an unspecified number of “unmanned coastal defense vessels” among the items being provided to the Ukrainians."
“It’s an unmanned surface vessel (USV) that can be used for a variety of purposes in coastal defense. I think I’ll just leave it at that,” Kirby told reporters.
He said the systems are coming from Navy stocks.
“It’s an unmanned surface vessel (USV) that can be used for a variety of purposes in coastal defense. I think I’ll just leave it at that,” Kirby told reporters.
When pressed for more details, Kirby said: “I’m not gonna promise you a fact sheet [but] I can promise you the damn thing works.”
LOL

You posted a pretty moving video. Today in Iowa MTG promised to end US aid to Ukraine.
Elections have consequences.
The AZ congressman calls for Zelensky and Putin to meet in AZ for talks. Maybe that’s why they mention him. btw, sounds like they also like progressive dems in the video.
“The world has seen enough death and destruction between Russia and Ukraine. The Western countries appear cavalier to using Ukrainians as cannon fodder and disinterested in de-escalation. The United States pays over $3 billion a year to the United Nations and funds over 25% of its peacekeeping operations. Why has there been no serious effort at peace talks? What happened to the United Nations’ primary mission—to avoid another Great War in Europe?
I am not a diplomat. But I cannot remain silent any longer as death and destruction not only continue unabated in Ukraine but financed by my own country. I‘m compelled to invite Presidents Putin and Zelensky to Arizona to begin conversations to deescalate nuclear tensions, terminate the war and end the unfortunate death and destruction plaguing both countries.
The current posture is untenable and a pathway to peace is long overdue. Months of escalation in weaponry and rhetoric endangers not just the citizens of Russia and Ukraine, but the whole world.
It’s long past time to seek a peaceful resolution in Ukraine," concluded Congressman Paul Gosar.

In Ukraine the age of persons, liable for military service in wartime is 18-60 years. Many of theese aged soldiers in army jokingly named "diad'ky" (eng. "uncles") and say that "diad'ky are towing all war on their shoulders". Yes, many of them served recently in Ukrainian or even in Soviet army, but this was many years ago and their value not in this. Many of theese 40-45-50+ men are from villages and small towns, where no enough comfort life like in big cities, but hard handwork in agricultural enterprises, on their farms and on their homesteads. Yes, often theese men are addicted to alcohol and have only basic shcool education, but they used to be in hard conditions. They can do everything from anything. They can coock without field kitchen, they can repair any vehicle without special repair unit, they can dig and build blindage without sappers and then made from it not dirty hole, but something like this: 
Many of modern "city generation" - IT, office employees, used to comfort life, which for example can be cool coders or managers, but often can't hammer a nail stright (because they have a money to hire an "uncle" for this), just would be loss at this war without theese "uncles". They are mainstay of infantry, armor and artillery. Youngers maybe fight more effectively, they more capable in command, tactic and application of new toys like drones, but "uncles" give them own experience of real life and skills.

MTG has about as much of a chance at advancing her agendas as AOC does.
They're both extremist wackjobs who have no real power or influence... just outsized media exposure because they're so "out there" with their craziness.
IF, the GQP regains control of the House you don't think that McCarthy will yield to the MTG's of the world? That's IF he gets to be Speaker.
They are telling us what they are going to do.
JFC take it out of this thread you absolute and total putz. *4 deplorables member in action*
