The russian bots are incredibly active on social media today, saying things like it's all a photo op for the rest of the world, and these people aren't afraid until they are smacked in the face with a firm glove.

A video like that wouldn't move the needle with the mango mussolini's base. They'd quickly be told it was AI, a deep fake, and then they'd be peppered with more emails begging for money, and they would give it.

There's a special election today to fill George Santos's seat in New York. If the Democrats win it the margin of error for the Republicans in the house gets even smaller. Hopefully the Republicans in the house fall through the thin ice they have created.

An absolute fact, nicest people in the world for the most part.

I had to watch the Super Bowl with my nieces two friends who drove up from Indiana. They are mid 50's far right Republicans. They ranted about their southern border and all the Mexicans flooding the country. When I said did you know the Democrats tried to pass a 20 Billion dollar bill in...

Oh, you underestimate American Republicans

Well... the thread managed to go 2 years without being completely derailed. Any chance of getting it back to what it was, or is it going to the bear pit?

My local paper detailed how the US still has 6 billion in already approved funding still available for Ukraine. US politics is largely about theatre and I'm hoping this 6 billion in already approved funding is the money that gets the US through the theatre part of the performance before new...

With apologies... but I can't resist

Until Putin is one of the dead the number doesn't matter. He has no ceiling on death counts as long as he is safe.

Halfway down a short runway and came in too fast (all wheels touch at once - per Denys)

I don't remember the exact details, but it goes something like this - if StarLink is used for military purposes it falls under different restrictions in the USA. Musk doesn't want to risk falling under the military restrictions, so he is concerned about allowing StarLink to be used for a 100%...

I think the HIMARS that Ukraine has are good in the 80 KM range, so they are already in striking distance. The individual rockets run about $100K US and it would be better to pummel the russians with cluster munitions and lesser priced munitions. One thing to consider, TOKMAK is about 230KM as...

Here's hoping. Tokmak is a spider web of major roads leading in all directions. Taking it, or having it within easy firing range would be huge. russia would still be able to move around, but they would be stuck using smaller roads.

From the map below, Ukraine has already taken Robotyne at the top, and geo located footage has them into half of Verbove to the right. Ukraine is also at the outskirts of Novoprokopivka and some updates say the russians are already retreating troops from the area. There's nothing big to hide...

I won't do this often, but people will begin to talk about the rainy season and mud in Ukraine. Here is the beautiful 14 day forecast for Bahkmut. Various weather sites say September is typically good with Oct/Nov being the worst. So, can Ukraine get to Tokmak in the next 30 days?

The US election isn't until Nov 5, 2024, and inauguration isn't until Jan 20, 2025. Even if the orange idiot somehow gets in Biden has more than one full year to set Ukraine up with what it needs. If the F16s really do arrive by end of year then Ukraine will have a big advantage in the air...

^ I seem to remember finance people (I'm not one) saying that it would take a year or so for the sanctions to really sting russia, glad to see they are having the desired affect. Those same people said that even when this terrorist invasion ends and the sanctions are lifted russia won't just...

Still haven't seen any damage reports or photos, but Google maps has changed the bridge status to Temporarily Closed

Google maps has the bridge open and just a 37 minute journey to cross with no red area delays. I'd say it wasn't hit, or at least it wasn't damaged.
