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

And kick Turkey out of NATO. They are the only one holding things up.
Russians are insane psychopathic assholes if that hasn’t been made perfectly clear yet. Nazis but dumber.
I'm really torn on this.
On one hand, this seems like North Korean posturing. It's annoying, stupid, reckless and most importantly- toothless. I don't think that they are stupid enough to do this so by ignoring them, it shows they aren't really to be taken serious.
On the other hand, I'm so effing tired of this BS that I'm hoping NATO says this is the last straw. This is another step to escalate a losing war. That step is also the last step, nuclear war. Eff these guys for bringing this upon themselves. They are liars, crooks and bullies. I'm tired of the fear mongering and they need to be smashed.

I know it's good and healthy to have different opinions but Turkey has not been a helpful partner in much of this.
Yes.
Overwhelming NATO forces, aimed at eastern Ukraine and Crimea. Take out all the bridges for resupply. Hammer anything that moves 25 miles inside Russian territory with Stealth fighters.
Tell Ivan we won't go any further than 25 miles if he retreats. Otherwise, Moscow will be on the table.
Oh, and bomb the shit out of every private property of every oligarch anywhere around the globe. Kill 'em all and all their families. Leave nothing.
Ivan wants a nuclear disaster in Ukraine, you tell him that's what's coming. And it ain't a threat. It's just what's gonna happen.
That guy is amazing. The glue.
If you don't think a draft would be needed by a WWIII, you are kidding yourself

What do a SU-34, a SU-35 and 2 MI-8 helicopters have in common?
They were destroyed by a single Patriot battery in the span of 2 minutes…over Russian airspace.
Don’t f*ck with the Patriot

I hope not. But things can escalate very quickly.
Blowing up a nuclear power plant is the same in my mind as dropping a tactical nuke.
Pay wall, but I did hear an interview on NPR last week with the Colombian diplomat she was with. There is strong evidence it was a planned attack.
Everything about Russia blowing up a nuclear plant would go to their established pattern. The nation is ruled by crazy drunks.
Glad I woke up to no reports of nuclear Armageddon…
Looks like new stuff on that huge explosion yesterday.
"Ukrainian infantry has reclaimed lost ground around Bakhmut, the Donbas’ regional center, after a series of gritty, short-range attacks. Kyiv’s forces have advanced as much as a kilometer, crossing a key canal and, securing parts of the battleground city that Kremlin fought nearly six months to capture according to news reports and official statements on Tuesday, July 4.
Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar in a July 3 statement said Kyiv’s troops had made its largest territorial gains near the village Klishchiivka, to the south of Bakhmut since the start of its summer offensive. She said that Ukrainian armored infantry and assault infantry units were also slowly fighting their way into strong Russian defenses to the north of the city.
Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) service members posting on social media reported armored carrier-riding infantry had crossed the tactically important Siviersky Donets canal to the south of Bakhmut, and at one location Ukrainian foot patrols had penetrated into built-up parts of the city itself. Multiple, but unconfirmed posts, said Ukrainian assaults had advanced as much as a kilometer capturing Russian weapons, ammunition and prisoners of war in the process.
"Ukrainian military information platforms identified the 3rd Assault Brigade, the 22nd and 28th Mechanized Infantry Brigades and the 80th Air Assault Brigade as formations spearheading recent successful attacks in the Bakhmut sector. Syrskiy said bombardments by US-made M-109 howitzers operated by gunners from 17th Tank Brigade gave critical support to those infantry-heavy assaults.
The 22nd is a newly raised brigade partially equipped with NATO heavy weapons and trained by NATO instructors. The 28th and the 80th are longstanding formations with fighting experience against Russia dating back to 2014, and the Kyiv-raised 3rd and Krivyi Rih-homebased 17th have been in continuous combat since the first days of the war."
Ukraine Makes Further Gains Amid Heavy Fighting Around Bakhmut
Russia lost more than 20,000 men over six months to secure its prestige victory of capturing the city of Bakhmut. Now Ukrainian troops are reversing the loss in tough, close-quarter fighting.
"Something is burning in occupied Yasynuvata, a suburb of Donetsk"
If Surivikin isn’t dead, I’m sure he wishes he was dead. No sympathy for him, but I’m sure they are working him over in the same way he sanctioned the torture of people over the years.
Russia is floating the idea of a swap for WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovic. That seems kind of beta for them.

Kremlin Open To Talks Over Potential Prisoner Swap Involving Reporter Evan Gershkovich
The Kremlin is holding the door open for contacts regarding jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
Militaries will need to develop longer-range versions of "shotguns" to deal with small recon and small ordnance drones. Along with ways to detect their presence.
I do love how Russia-ology has reverted to the old techniques of Sovietology. Read the paper back to front, ponder who is and isn’t in the photos, etc.

Spotting this plane is only rare if you don’t live around Omaha, NE or SW Iowa. Otherwise you see them all the time.
