I see those bitch ass Chinese even copied our Coast Guard paint scheme.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Despite some support for the idea, the EU has rejected Kyiv's request for soldiers to be trained by EU nations in Ukraine. There were some valid pros and cons, but, there probably would have been a few nations that would have blocked a vote.

It's on brand for Putin to have a volcano lair.
This is what I have been hoping, for if there really were anything like 150 drones in the air.
"According to Reuters news agency, a Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at the Konakovo power plant in the Tor region, one of the largest energy producers in central Russia."
"158 Ukrainian drones attacked 15 regions of the Russian Federation, including Moscow."

No translation but one video shows two targets hit by Ukraine around Moscow.
I hadn't considered the possibility that Putin is actually the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Averaging about 950 new casualties/day will hit 700k by Thanksgiving (~84k total)
Every day above that number (like 1350) lowers the average pretty quickly
Wonder if the Swiss are serious-they would have to actually help out other countries.
I’m throwing this out right now that the October surprise in the U.S. presidential elections is Russia using a nuclear weapon against a Ukrainian air base housing F-16’s.
Eventually a country losing troops, equipment and infrastructure at the rate Russia is will turn to the most powerful weapon in their arsenal.

Yet nuclear strategizing and determining an adversary’s red lines remain a high-stakes game of chicken.
“It is like we’re walking in the dark toward a cliff,” said Christopher Chivvis, who has assessed nuclear-risk issues at Rand and as a U.S. intelligence officer. “It is out there somewhere. We just don’t know where it is.”

The Witches of Bucha. A solid AP read about female volunteers who gear up at night and watch the skies for Russian drones. The story mostly follows two doctors from Bucha who lived through the horrors of the Russian massacre.

With men at the front lines, women watch over Ukraine's night sky for Russian drones
Women are joining the ranks of Ukrainian mobile air-defense units to shoot down drones as more men are drawn to the battles on the eastern front line.

Meh, the Swiss would first have to stop making money off of this war. Besides a history of neutrality they have an equally long standing tradition of making money off of brutal thugs.
Would be pretty dumb. We’ve already stated that if that happened that we would eliminate every Russian asset that is currently in occupied Ukraine. Why would they abandon the gains they’ve made?
Maybe Russia doesn't believe NATO would finally do something. One can see why that may be the case.
Already posted but I like this video. Would not want to be in the hull though.
And they'd isolate themselves from the West for decades.
Their oligarchs do not want this, because they'd be pariahs across the globe. They want to travel to Western nations, and they'd all be banned from Western countries.
And, Western nations cannot break their addiction to having oligarchs spend money in their countries.
I wouldn't even want to be the guy in the turret. A tiny wind creates a tiny wave, and that thing goes down in a sucking whirlpool.
Putin has seen his approval ratings dip in a recent poll. Keep in mind there is no such thing as independent polling in Russia. To even admit to a 4+ percent drop will probably get someone killed.

Boo hoo

Beware the sound on this-someone talking about genitalia for some reason.
