I saw that clip somewhere else where vets described how obvious mines like that could be booby trapped.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Those dying are coming from the same class that supports Putin the most. Poor and rural is his base. When those kids are dying in bunches, or coming back all burned up and missing a leg, and they can’t find decent food to eat, it gets harder to keep them compliant.
Investments ( llc’s ) and tax review/trusts.
He’s family ( and in some of the llc’s) so i don’t pay him much.
Good dude.
When I served the Military ID was our passport so when shipped outside the US we did not need a passport, but you better have your ID on you.
Interesting comments on Lib TV earlier today about this supposed wave of up to 40,000 mercenaries and foreign fighters coming in.
1. Seems to be PR, and the actual number is much lower.
2. These guys are not likely to take rubles. Russia’s cash reserves are suspect.
3. This isn’t a religious war, so most of these guys are ex soldiers who want to live, not go meet Allah. These guys don’t really want to fight a hardened, well equipped, motivated opponent. They prefer roughing up civilians.

No idea. Takes a mgt fee out of a couple of the llc’s profits. Small % and less than 10k total/yr until we close it out.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it as long as you travel to friendly nations. I went to Korea with someone who was a covert intelligence officer and they didn’t care. He actually moved to Korea after law school.
I wouldn’t visit any countries you spied on. For him it was China.
The mercenary thing is dumb because clearing and shelling large areas without logistics or air support isn’t a magic talent of mercenaries. This is a failed design.

I literally have multiple hacking from Russia since my stance on going to Ukraine on here. That is why I double down online security.
I live in a military town, have had family in the military (Including my Father) and I've never once heard of any of them being concerned about travelling the world because they used to be in the military. I mean sure, they probably should stay away from Afghanistan or North Korea, and lately Russia... But so should any normal American.
Jax NAS has been busy with the 757 heavies flying in and out on a stepped up basis since the invasion. Also stepped up the P3’s. Last weekend we had our Navy jet jockeys zipping around.
Eglin is our USAF guys.
Florida is one giant military base.
I was driving home from NC the week of the invasion and saw many military planes headed south along I-95.
Holy acronyms. I generally agree with your posts but can you assume I and others don’t know your obscure acronyms. Many of us weren’t in the military. It makes it difficult to understand what you are trying to communicate.
Sorry, most of these I had mentioned in an earlier post, so I was just trying to shorten as much as possible. Will try to include explanations, since yeah, the acronyms are hard.
I get it. It your field. I see it with a lot of military or ex military tweets. I just don’t understand it but I’m also acronym adverse.
Let’s also not complain about the taxes after we give Ukraine billions in equipment.
Don't worry.... Biden is only going to tax the "rich".... you don't have anything to worry about, right?
Nah. Russia attacked Ukraine. That gives Ukraine a lot of leeway in regard to the PR of the war internationally.
Isn’t making a meat shield out of Ukraine just part of the foreign policy budget?
He sent riot police with parade uniforms for their swift victory celebration in downtown Kiev. He expected no resistance. He was wrong.
Chemical or gas attack? Or possibly people placing the dead on the street for pickup.

Same…depends if the country has a SOFA I believe….didn’t need one for Korea or Germany. Only needed one once for a deployment or TDY.
