Russia vs. Ukraine Part 2

Old Vlad just gave the world an opportunity to step in. None of the boxes: military necessity, proportionality, or distinction are checked here.

Attacking food supplies won’t win you many friends. Causing famine? Will probably get a strongly worded email from the UN.

Well, his navy has a worse track record than his army.

Maybe he should be finding a way out.

Then again, he probably feels safe as our navy seems more WOKE.

Explains why they are mobilizing Reservists and bringing IRRs back into uniform when we're not in a shooting war. Between being way short on recruiting and the permanently non-deployable due to "transitioning" leads to not being able to meet wartime commitments.

I'd bet good money the definitions have changed as far as what is "fully capable" concerning unit's ability to deploy forces.

Maybe recruiting is bad for a reason.
Maybe for several reasons

“From a fiscal conservative perspective, it makes no sense to borrow money from China to send it to Ukraine,” Paul urged, adding “It’s not like we’re sending them surplus funds. It’s like, ‘Oh, we have surplus ammo around.’”

“We’re actually out of ammo now, we’re out of money. And so, there’s no real sense in continuing to do this,” Paul further emphasized.

Lost some thing in translation there… You don’t deploy “bases“, you deploy forces.

Either that or no one at Yahoo! News knows any better.

IDK, it seemed like Belarus built the base(s) and then Wagner moved in

"If you build it, they will come"?

They can truck the grain out overland. Most of the grain went to China and Europe to suppress prices. Little went to the famine areas. Ships carried arms and ammo in and grain out.

Ukraine carried out drone attack on Moscow, officials say​

Ukrainian forces carried out the drone strikes in Moscow early on Monday, a Kyiv official has told CNN.

The official from Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, an arm of its Ministry of Defense, said the agency was responsible for the operation that Russia described as a “terrorist attack of the Kiev regime,” using the Russian spelling for Ukraine’s capital.

The drones struck two non-residential buildings in the Russian capital – including one near the Ministry of Defense headquarters – in Monday’s early hours, according to Russian authorities, who said they had “thwarted” the attack.

The strikes caused no serious damage or casualties, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram Monday – but the incident will serve as a reminder of the range of Kyiv’s drones, as Ukraine seeks to bring the war closer to home for Russians.
