This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

I regret watching this but decided to share. Proceed with caution.
I know, I'm just trying to determine how likely they are to succeed. A molotov just sets fire to something. But the fire doesn't seem hot enough to melt anything on the tank.
I wish I could say more but at this time, we have exhausted my knowledge of molotov cocktails.
I think the goal is that a fire over the engine bay will damage the engine or at least overheat it. Their equipment hasn’t exactly been robust so far.

I have regrets for watching that. Too much.
Yes it is. You felt the need to bring the wall into it but dont forget that when you are ready to bitch about mil spending.
So, from reading...one of the things that's going to make it really hard for someone to take out Putin, besides his lifetime dedicated to security, spycraft and paranoia...is that over 20 years he's basically MADE himself the government.
It isn't so much that he's the dictator head of a government, he's personally indispensable to the operations of the government. It isn't so clear a situation where he can just be taken out and the second in command take over. Apparently, it's not clear how anything would work without him...who would take over, how decisions would be made, etc.
That seems slightly overblown, after all, the guy's pushing 70, there has to be SOME idea. But to an extent taking him out it's like shooting the pilot of your plane. Besides all the practical obstacles of just getting to him, anyone looking to take him out will need a plan to prevent outright collapse of the government as an institution. Which doesn't happen fast, especially when you can't trust anyone you talk to.

no, but I couldn't see one way or the other at the later parts of the clip.
Full disclosure: i am, in fact, colorblind.
Little too close to home friend? It's okay to be upset. Then go take a long look in the mirror to see the true source of your own misery. Then have some courage and do something about it.
Here's some good battleground news if true...
Yep, literally the Death of Stalin committee meetings. Nobody knows who's in charge.

You can go back a century or even further to get whatever lessons you think may apply. This is 2022 not 1917 - we have since moved into the information age, advanced technologies, and globally connected economies.
Putin is living in his Soviet era dreams. The rest of the world is applying a 21st century response to a mid-20th century military action.
I just went back and re-studied Red October of 1917.... nothing there about nuclear warheads, intercontinental ballistic missiles, space satellites, supercomputers, international monetary exchanges, or the like.

Singapore to impose sanctions on Russia, including bank transactions
Singapore will impose "appropriate sanctions and restrictions" on Russia, its foreign minister said on Monday, including banking and financial measures and export controls on items that could be used as weapons against the people of Ukraine.

His current prime minister is the former president ...I think you're overthinking it.
During the first Gulf War one of the networks aired footage of a warthog that successfully returned to base after taking anti-aircraft fire. It had a hole in one of its wings the size of a car hood. Like a big 70’s sedan car hood. Freakin’ incredible.
Also, from Quora -
For one, Molotov Cocktails could be used by being thrown into open hatches. If properly thrown, it could land inside the tank, with deadly consequences. In the past, the crew would usually burn to death, but with modern day extinguishing systems like Halon tanks this may not happen.
However, electronics can still be damaged or destroyed, and overall the tank will most likely be rendered inoperable. In WWII, if thrown at the engine bay (back) of the tank, it will knock out the engine resulting in a M-Kill, or mobility kill. However, the tank could be mostly operable (turret can be traversed with a hand-crank, gun can also fire).
No kidding. Everyone knows u wear super absorbent depends.
Crypto took some healthy bumps. I have an idea of where some money might have went over the last few days.
If you heard that somewhere else, a version of that hat joke originated in this thread by yours truly!

Russia is the fake i.d. of world militaries!
Example text provided by Anonymous for easy copy and paste:
Еда была отличной! К сожалению, Путин испортил наши аппетиты, вторгшись в Украину. Противостаньте своему диктатору, прекратите убивать невинных людей! Ваше правительство лжет вам. Вставай!
Translation:
The food was great! Unfortunately, Putin spoiled our appetites by invading Ukraine. Stand up to your dictator, stop killing innocent people! Your government is lying to you. Get up!
Do not give negative reviews just because the restaurant is in Russia!
Pretty much where I'm at
This guy has done great work on the scene. Hope this means he found time to get laid.
Of course not. But you still go to them. Just make sure you won't settle for anything less than a complete withdrawal from Ukraine territory, including the Crimea territory. When the Russian's say "but..." you say no. If they stay silent, you get up and leave.
Whiskey, if you don't stop fighting with your brothers, I swear to ****ing god, I am going to turn this car around and go home, then leave your ass there while the rest of us will go to Disney and Epcot without you. Got it?
That teddy bear memento lying in the rubble makes me sad.
Many of those Russian forces have kids, too, and don't want to be there.
F*** Putin and his cronies.
I heard the lines were lomg and you cant even smoke there.
My guess is they are expensive to replace and if any puppet government is going to survive, they will have to provide basic necessities to the people.
A thread if you want to get depressed...

Hardly an overseas foreign country. Pretty much analogous to the United States and Alaska. And yeah, I bet the indigenous Alaskans weren't so keen on becoming a "state."
