Bakhmut has turned into a ‘slaughter-fest for the Russians,’ top US general says
I swear a fairly large percentage of these Russian soldiers must be suicidal.
Damn. He is a brave MF.
Good read. Untangling the orc apparatus in occupied areas of Ukraine presents real challenges. I keep hoping for a massive collapse and quick exit.
Technically not true. It's not illegal to chew gum in public. It's only illegal to import or sell it. Now if you choose to stick it to a wall you will be fined fairly heavily. It's far from a shithole country. Probably one of the cleanest and safest places I've ever visited.While the laws in Russia (or any foreign country, TBH) may not jive with what we think of as fair, but they're still real laws. In Singapore, you can be caned for chewing gum in public. If you choose to travel to these shitholes, deal with their laws. If you don't like it, stay home. IMO, if you choose to go to a country that we're in an adversarial relationship with, I find it hard to feel sorry for you if you get picked up on iffy charges. Nobody has to go to Russia, or China, or Singapore, or any of a number of other dangerous countries. FAFO.
I apologize, I wasn't clear. It's not that it's a shithole, it's that there are a lot of laws that most Americans would think are wrong, inappropriate, overly harsh, etc, and that will be heavily enforced with penalties that may also be considered unjust, cruel, or unusual. My point, generally, is that if you go to a foreign country, you have to obey their laws, whether you like and agree with them or not, or you may find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation.Technically not true.

They welcome it with open arms.I swear a fairly large percentage of these Russian soldiers must be suicidal.
They just slowly look up at the drone with a grenade or a tank barrel and don't even really react. Just wait to be blown the f---k up.
Very creepy.
Toyota left because they couldn’t import parts and software due to sanctions. It wasn’t morality. If Toyota couldn’t build their cars, Russia certainly won’t be able to.Won't they run out of parts? I can't imagine (at least hope) Toyota still wanting to do business with them.
A few more billion and pretty soon we’ll be talking about real money!
I’ve posted this multiple times in this thread but sometimes I have to remind myself that it is 2023 and there is a land war raging in Europe. Just crazy.

You can’t go 125mph underwater without super cavitation. You can’t dive that deep, run silent, or do evasive maneuvers with super cavitation.
1. Great job, Vlad. NATO working together like they did in the 1980s, plus Finland will soon be a member.
