Weird things keep happening in #Rusia !! The fire occurred at a chemical industry enterprise JSC "Nevinnomyssky Azot" on the territory of #Stavropol
Wonder if the height warning in the upper left corner of this shows it is a consumer type drone.
The problem seems to be that those countries that have not yet give Soviet era weapons are afraid of doing so and angering Russia.
"The think tank's report identified more than 6,300 relevant weapons systems from countries outside of NATO that Ukraine is currently using or employed before the Feb. 24 Russian invasion, including Mi-17 helicopters, T-8 tanks and M-14 artillery pieces.
The weapons are located in 23 countries, including South Korea, Colombia, Argentina and Kenya."

Ukraine is in a tough position. They have a lot of soviet era equipment while at the same time integrating a bunch of different western weapons systems. Logistics and maintenance have to be a serious bitch....
Having to supply and maintain dozens of different weapons systems that have totally separate supply chains is a real hurdle. I don't think people realize just how difficult all this is for them...
Yep
Like Clockwork. Called this one a couple hundred pages ago....
For the life of me I can't understand why my district keeps voting for this asshat. He hasn't delivered a single project to our district. The only thing he does is "Own the libs". There have been several very conservative, ex-military Republicans who would have actually had the ability to lead and get things done (While still being Republican) who have run against him and he slaughters them everytime.
I seriously do not understand the mind of rural Republicans. They're just running off of anger that White, Christian Men don't run the show any longer and they're just voting for people who will "fight" that apparently.

Russian Army Turns Ukraine’s Largest Nuclear Plant Into a Military Base
The new infusion of weaponry effectively shields the Zaporizhzhia station from a counterattack by Ukrainian forces, and amounts to something the carefully regulated atomic-energy industry has never seen before: the slow-motion transformation of a nuclear power station into a military garrison.

I knew this was going to happen. The P in GQP might as well stand for Putin

Senate is safe...voted 100-0 on Ukraine lend lease.
House....will be more problematic the longer this goes and it's not only R's.
Why America’s Far Right and Far Left Have Aligned Against Helping Ukraine
The discourse surrounding Russia’s war on Ukraine has created strange bedfellows.

Senate is not "safe".
You'll continue to deny this right up until they reverse course, and then claim "we could never have possibly predicted this could happen".
Lucky stupid SOB.
"He is destroying a #Russian weapon captured by #Ukraine! He is showing the mentality of #RussianArmy and the fact that all they care about is looting and killing civilians, hence #RussiaIsATerroristState! They have no idea on military tactics or anything!"

If true, Germany sucks even more than I thought.
Senate is safe...the votes reflect that as far as support for Ukraine goes...
100-0
The House is what needs to be worried about.
If you think Moscow Mitch will "stay the course" vs deal with a recession and energy price spikes, I've got a Rusal plant in Kentucky to sell you.....
July 2, Kherson: pro-Ukrainian artwork appears in the city.
July 2-3: near Melitopol: train derailed and a railroad bridge destroyed.
July 3, Crimea: report of anti-Russian resistance.
Of the 26 guerrilla events listed above, 14 transpired in Ukraine’s Kherson province—precisely where Ukrainian forces are advancing in preparation for a counter-offensive that, if successful, would return control of water supplies to Crimea to Ukraine and destroy Russia‘s land corridor to the peninsula. That would be a strategic victory for Ukraine’s armed forces and partisans.

Russia has turned its attention to capturing more parts of the Donetsk region of the Donbas, having already seized the neighboring Luhansk province. Donetsk is now experiencing heavy shelling, the same strategy that Russian forces used in Luhansk. Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut are now Russia’s key targets

Ukrainians try to hold back Russians at the Donetsk border; Moscow angry after Putin-Macron call details are revealed
Ukraine's president has said an air alert covered almost all of Ukraine last night. Meanwhile, the Russian Dumas has approved measures for a war economy.
I think this is why my Dad harbored such hard feelings for the Germans until the day he died.
We have been their babysitter, protector and benefactor for 75 years. Why is anyone surprised? After all surrender sure has worked out well for them, right?
"Here is another video of the Russian T-80BV tank in flames after Ukrainian attack near #Lysychansk (Oblast of #Luhansk ). Crew members are also reported to have died."
Hope this is true-they do seem to be in a big hurry.

I believe Joe's Place is correct. Once Senate Republicans know House support belongs to Republicans (if the midterms go as expected), you'll see a dwindling of support. Their sabotaging of the WH increases the moment the GOP controls the House.
Ukraine MUST see major gains before that occurs.
Maybe so....
Just think the house is a bigger concern. Tying inflation/gas prices to the war ain't helping....
It isn't just R's....the far left aren't big fans of the expenditures either.

Hope Ukraine can make gains before winter but I'm a pessimist on that front...
