Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, lest we forget, shin shin - shin gan…and right now historians are better at politics than pretty much any politician.
@TreasChest
Ukraine should demand the return/replacement of the nuclear weapons/missiles/aircraft it gave up for security guarantees back in the 90s, and the return to 1991 borders + reparations. Seriously- who on earth would trust Russia; a nation of pathological bare faced liars.

I’m a dad of 3 kids - I could see myself and my kids doing exactly the same things. my own dad was that kid’s age when he had to sent away from his family to escape the bombings by the Nazis in WWII. We said “never forget” - we haven’t. Russia will lose.
@Blue_Sauron
Operationally - anyone with any kind of operational insight as to why a lone attack helicopter would be buzzing around like that? They didn’t seem to be on an attack run, all alone - all that’s missing is the trailing banner saying “please shoot me down”
@Osinttechnical
I don’t think the dirt being kicked up is return fire, but from the launcher. Many Stugna videos have the same, and it seems some operators aim high initially then lower their aim to avoid this. Would be curious to hear from Stugna operators :)

“You take the HIMARS and I’ll take the LOMARS, and I’ll be in Kherson before you….but me and my true love will blow a bridge again, on the Bonny Bonny banks of the Dnieper…” (to be played to the tune of “Loch Lomond”
@maria_drutska
Of the future books on this conflict, this one will be high on my list.Storming a heavily defended oil rig is something the British SBS “wrote the Ops” book on. Takes a special kind of madness to even try, let alone succeed in such an operation.

As a Belgian citizen and taxpayer - I’d be a lot happier if we were supplying a *lot* more small, medium and heavy weaponry to Ukraine. I’m embarrassed by how little we have helped.
@sentdefender
Several NATO countries have re-opened embassies in Kyiv; those Embassies are “NATO territory”, no? If Russia nukes Kyiv - then wouldn’t that be a nuclear attack on NATO territory?
Honest question for those who know international/diplomatic law.

It’s probably been said here already- but I’ll say it again. Prior to Feb24 2022, the world thought Russia had the 2nd best military in the world. 3 days later, the world realised Russia only had the 2nd best military in Ukraine….

Russia saw Ukraine like chess. 16 opposition pieces where only the King was the wrong colour, and marked to be killed. They then found out 14-15 of the UA pieces were anti-Kremlin Feb22, and now Nov 2023, 16-16 are anti Russian, for generations
@shaneharris
Many a cop has said “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of fight in the dog that counts”. Russia is fighting for a lie, Ukraine is fighting for its existence. In terms of “effect multipliers”, Russians are negative for so many reasons, and Ukraine positive

@Gerashchenko_en
As a British subject - we (US/UK/RF) agreed back in the 1990s that Ukraine should give up their nukes and associated aircraft for peace guarantees. RF violated that agreement. Alas, that means that US & UK should give nukes and aircraft back to Ukraine.
@KyivIndependent
Woohoo!!!! As others have said,RF does what EU political elite should have done months if not years ago. I for one am ready to live like I did as a kid (no gas, only open fire for heat even when outside temp went to -17 etc). Russians have convinced themselves we are weak. lol
@DefenceU
The aggressor cannot be allowed to dictate what’s happening. Also, they are world class liars!Speaking for myself, Ukraine should cease fire when the last Russians have left Ukraine - whether voluntarily, or by force.
@Gerashchenko_en
Could it be they are suddenly waking up from a near 80 year hangover, to realise it was mostly the British Commonwealth + America that provided the technology and resources for them to “win” WWII?

Get chickens if you can; feed and treat them well and you’ll never buy supermarket eggs ever again. Friends are amazed at how much more yellow the yoke is from our lot. Chickens are surprisingly funny as well, I didn’t realise until I got ours - they all have their characters :)

@nolanwpeterson
Dear Nolan - never underestimate the power of semiology. The construction of those statues was meant to cement a Communist version of “Thousand Year Reich”. The Soviet Union didn’t even survive 1000 months.
We now see RF forces putting up Soviet flags etc - clearly “semiotic”
@guyverhofstadt
To be fair, many of us European citizens “voted” to get rid of the idiocy that is the regular “gravy train” down to Strasbourg, and were told “no” - that “we the people” don’t have the right to make such decisions. That wasn’t democracy either - now was it :)

Would be interesting to see this analysis superimposed on top of wealth shift graph. I’m a bit out of date, but there was a trend where the very highest percentiles accumulated increasingly more wealth since the 1990s.

+1 for suspending EU membership to any country that supports Russia by blocking energy sanctions…looking especially at Germany and Austria. Let’s see how well German economy gets on back in the Deutschmark and the massive benefit of artificially low interest rates.

Nope, 25 years of being an analyst, engineer, project, program manager - never taken Prod down once. It’s called “knowing what you do”. If you think as someone who has to deliver - and assuming the remit is 100% uptime - then either you do, or you don’t. Stop glorifying failure.

As an actual archer, where I reckon my instructor’s instructor line went back at least 1000 years - possibly 3000+ - there’s something “right” about that bit of kit. It turns up quietly, fires fast and accurately, then leaves as quietly as it turned up. An archer.

Solution: 1. EU moves away from unanimity, and to majority voting. 2. Have a people’s referendum (not Parliamentary) on the future of the EU, and what countries should stay & which to eject without major reform. I’m pretty sure Hungary would either sharply change, or get booted!

Dear Madame Atwood. Dystopian future was what I studied (by choice) as a 15/16 yr old Scots Cold War kid. 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World were my weapons of choice. They missed the XX/XY dynamic, and you added so much to the dystopian panoply. Ummm…”thanks”?

TBH, so much has arrived in social media connecting your book and keto diet - it’s actually set up the expectation that the book’s “big reveal” is keto. I’ve read it - it’s about “brain energy”, not (just) keto. On the flip side, one very successful pathway *is* keto.
