I believe Boris Johnson but don't understand why he is embarrassing France and Germany now. It can only hurt the alliance.

I mean, if we are judging by all of history, that is a pretty damn minor hubub in "German-UK relations"
I wish these people would start to die.
My hope was 100K by NYD.
37 days left X 400 dead orcs(which is about the average) gets us to 100K.
Fingers crossed.
Welcome to team McGill
Look what these people went through to throw off the yoke of Putinism tyranny. I mean God damn.

Kiev Truce Shattered, Dozens Killed

Can this POS just die already?
Interesting move. It’s been reported that special forces were on the Kinburn Split. The question was would they be able to move armor and equipment over? Ukraine’s sole amphibious ship has been keeping a low profile and many wondered if it had been sunk or damaged.
And strange that Ukraine is making this known- a feint or an attempt to make Russia think it is just a feint?
"The Ukrainians are in two minds whether they want a severe winter or a mild one for their campaigns. A mild season would help cushion Ukraine’s civilian population from the consequences of Russia’s pummeling of the country’s power grid. But it would also mean muddy conditions — known as bezdorizhzhia (roadlessness) in Ukrainian and rasputitsa in Russian, making the movement of troops and armor difficult for them as well as the Russians.
And it’s the Ukrainians who want to build quickly on the momentum they’ve achieved in recent weeks with their stunning victories around Kharkiv in the northeast and most recently in Kherson in the south. The advance in Kherson has brought Crimea within range of their missiles.
A cold winter with the terrain frozen would help both sides maneuver — but freezing conditions would likely take its toll on Russian troops and their shoddy equipment. Tanks and vehicles could no longer be hidden under leafless trees. Last winter, as they tried to advance on Kyiv, the Russians were plagued by mechanical breakdowns because of low-quality manufacture and a failure — like the Wehrmacht — to winterize thoroughly their tanks and armored vehicles.
The Institute for the Study of War agrees General Frostbite will likely favor the Ukrainians. In a recent assessment, the Washington-based think tank said Russian troops will be at a disadvantage. “Winter weather could disproportionately harm poorly-equipped Russian forces in Ukraine,” the ISW said. The Russian defense ministry has been publicizing efforts to train and equip its troops better, most likely a move ISW interprets as an effort “to quell public dissatisfaction” in Russia with the conditions Russian soldiers are expected to endure. Recently, draftees from Rostov posted a video on Telegram complaining of the lack of proper training and equipment and food. “We pay for our food out of pocket,” they said. "
Lviv’s energetic mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, is alarmed by the Russian targeting of a power transmission station near the Rivne nuclear power plant, 200 kilometers northeast of Lviv, which holds out other potential horrors.
Sadovyi is feverishly planning to keep not only himself but his whole western Ukrainian city warm throughout the winter season — and he hopes to have around 6,000 emergency shelters up and running; many will have wood stoves, others portable diesel generators. “We are storing a lot of firewood and we have bought huge supplies of oil and diesel. We must prepare for when the city must live without electricity,” he said.
He even has to take the traditional approach in his own office. He has had two antique — and very large — ceramic wood-burning stoves in his office restored to working order.
“Help me feed the logs in,” he asked when POLITICO visited him last week in his town hall.
“These fireplaces hadn’t been used for around a hundred years, until now.”
51 cruise missiles failed to hit pay dirt.

These type of things are big. Putin is no longer feared. I really think his end is near. His army is withering, his enemies are growing and his health is failing.
These have to be some of the toughest people on the face of the earth.Look what these people went through to throw off the yolk of Putinism tyranny. I mean God damn.

Their desire for freedom is inspiring. Too bad it can't be bottled. Afghanistan could use a few cases.
Quite possibly a Snipex Alligator at work? Designed to pierce a cm of armor plate, a bullet from this riffle is massive, and will f you up.

You beat me to this. Armenia is pissed off because they believe Putin is backing Azerbaijan in their most recent border scuffle.
Putin has troops in Georgia, Belarus, and in Kazakhstan to prop up regimes while attempting to invade Ukraine. I believe that part of this frenzy of missile attacks on Ukraine stems from Putin's weakening position in the czarist empire he's trying to reconstitute.
Under the Ukrainian constitution that requires a threshold they did not reach. 338 votes were require to vote him out, but the resolution only obtained 328 votes.
There were no articles of impeachment against Yanukovych. The Verkhovna Rada Committee voted on February 22, 2014 MPs voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" on the grounds that he was unable to fulfill his duties and to hold early presidential elections on May 25.[2]The vote came an hour after Yanukovych said in a televised address that he would not resign. He subsequently declared himself to still be "the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state elected in a free vote by Ukrainian citizens".
The action did not follow the impeachment process as specified by the Constitution of Ukraine (which would have involved formally charging the president with a crime, a review of the charge by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, and a three-fourths majority vote – i.e. at least 338 votes in favor – by the Rada); instead, the Verkhovna Rada declared that Yanukovych "withdrew from his duties in an unconstitutional manner" and cited "circumstances of extreme urgency" as the reason for early elections.
If MAGA protested the policy decisions of Biden after the 2022 midterms, and the Proud Boys pour into DC and begin shooting police and protestors alike while taking over government building for days and weeks until Biden, Pelosi and Schumer flee for their lives, would a less than 2/3rds majority vote in the Senate count as an impeachment and removal under the Constitution, or would you call that a coup?
I have a feeling you won’t answer this question.
That’s a really wordy way to say ‘Nazi’ without saying ‘Nazi’.
Ukraine is one hell of a crucible. I think this time around it will forge a new world power. Not in terms of GDP, but of courage and liberty the likes possessed by our forefathers during the revolution.
Afghans been selling bottles of their unique Independence Spirit for a couple of centuries to anyone that stops to sit a spell.
Why defend Putin? What is in it for you?
