War with Russia

Where once the propaganda carried menace and threats, the propaganda is laughable to the extent it appears that the hierarchy are pu

Daft thing is that any non-oligarchs with investment funds won't for a second be taken in by propaganda. Putin can take Russian based oligarchic money anyway, likes of youtube "influencers" and Andrew Tate don't have funds so I can't see the event helping the Russian economy,

Well no, it's a damp (oily) squib.
I really hope that the effect of a Russian collapse has a really positive effect on the reams of paid influencers who no longer get funding.
I mean, the oligarchs are probably going to be hell bent on saving their own @sses, never mind funding influencers for a barely functioning state. The purpose will have vaporised just like that air defence system.

This is a picture of the bridge of a ship which was carrying stolen grain from Ukraine after a drone strike. The ship was registered to Azerbaijan.

This is the type of thing that gives 'progressive Democrats' a bad name... oh, the purity of not wishing to harm ordinary Russians! Despite Omar being the only Democrat to vote against the Act, enough Republicans supported it that it passed anyway.

Omar previously supported sanctions against Israel?!

Democratic US Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan on Monday blasted Israel’s refusal to grant them entry to the country over their support for boycotting the Jewish state, with Omar saying that Washington should halt aid to Israel and that Jerusalem’s decision was incompatible with its position as a US ally and a democracy.

Note that when talking about US aid to Israel that is military aid, not humanitarian aid.

Yes.

In addition to the list of Russian stuff being blown up - more Russian stuff sinking.

Meanwhile, back on the Peninsula, Crimea is cut off. Trains have been suspended (the Kherson rail and road bridge is inoperable), food is being rationed, queues for fuel were km's long but now commercial fuel sales are non existent; the only source is on the black market, Theft and syphoning is rampant.

There are 5 routes in to Crimea. The Ukrainians have hit bridges @briantrumpet but they are not easy to destroy, so they are trying. The damage has been sufficient to suspend use. The new FP7 and FP9 drones when they come in to production may have the capability of destroying them.

I think the main target will be in the east where the route is directly to Russia (Kerch bridge) rather than the northern route through occupied Kherson.

I'll look forward to some fireworks in due course. They can be so pretty! 🤩

If you want fireworks, then follow Sternenko, Jake Broe, Artur Reti and Jay in Kyiv on YT, MAK 26, Special Kherson Cat, Magyar's birds and War translated on X. There's no end of fireworks - right where it matters; fuel storage, oil and gas transportation hubs, oil and gas production facilities and logistics. Logistics that carry fuel are great but ammunition depots are even better.

With soundtrack, just for you. It's really quite good at many levels

A random piece of information I recently found out. The Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Croatia was destroyed during the Croatia-Bosnia war.
It took 60 tank shells to do so.

Hang on, has this been OK'd by Washington? If so, seems significant.
