July 27, 20232 yr Here's another: https://signmyrocket.com/ NAFO got their own howlitzer called the "Superbonker 9000" - unfortunately it has since been destroyed.

July 27, 20232 yr Popular Post IMMA: What the hell is happening in here? gern: Well, cruiser wants to send a .50 caliber to Ukraine, but painting it burnt orange might not be practical, and maybe just sending cash directly to a sniper is more efficient, but then we lose the vanity part of the project, we might send some patches instead to really get them excited to kill some commies, but we need a cartoon dick drawer to get on board, and instead maybe some surly leftover cups or stickers are better, possibly some ammo, so basically nobody knows what to get Andriy and Mykhailo to help win the war- there's a whole lotta shit we're trying to deal with -- IMMA: Oh, I thought there was a problem. Okay, well, uh… candlesticks always make a nice war weapon, and uh, maybe you could find out where their stronghold is and maybe we can get a RV and road-trip to deliver a sex tent or maybe a fake McRib. Okay, let’s get both! Go get ‘em!
July 27, 20232 yr whatever costs are going into putting lipstick on this thing might be better served going into bullets they can use to kill people. if that sort of thing matters here, which maybe it doesn't.

Hell, tell them we'll donate another $100 for each recorded/written account of shooting a Russian POS. Let's buy the weapon, and pay for scalps. Yes, I'm a fucking ghoul. Deal with it.
July 27, 20232 yr Lol. A got damn UT message board is somehow going to end up in an investigation for war crimes and/or international arms dealing with this sort of shit. "What start here, changes the world."

July 27, 20232 yr Popular Post I've mentioned this before, but if anyone wants to throw some cash towards the Group my dad and brother started up, just PM me. Here's what they've accomplished over the last 12 months and multiple trips to Poland and the Ukrainian border: Quote Dear Family, Friends and Supporters, We write on this first anniversary of the launch of “our” TX-WY Mission for Ukrainian Refugees to recall our efforts due to your support and kindly ask that you consider a further donation. What began as a single trip to alleviate suffering of Ukrainian women and children flooding into Poland became, thanks to your unanticipated and overwhelming support, a mission that is now in its second year. General William Tecumseh Sherman once told a group of cadets “War is Hell” and if you follow media covering the Russian invasion, you will agree. The brutal war on and near the front lines continues, death and suffering are never ending and the destruction of property is immense. As we wrote before, our Mission is engaged on the Second Front: supporting the men, women and children who suffer as collateral damage and yet are vital to maintaining morale in Ukraine. The need for humanitarian aid remains critical and donor support across the landscape is waning. At this one-year milestone, we celebrate your generous and humbling support, allowing our Mission on the Second Front to accomplish so much - relative to our size. During this past year we: -Bought and transported more than 80 pallets of non-perishable food and other supplies, which was packaged and delivered to needy civilians in Ukrainian towns and villages; -Manufactured and transported to Ukraine more than 7,000 pouches of ready to eat meals (each sufficient to feed two people); -Supported David Craig in his efforts to deliver countless tons of food, pet food, supplies, medical equipment, tools, clothing and other materials to badly damaged towns and villages in Ukraine, through our purchase of five vehicles and provision of a warehouse/home facility on the Polish- Ukraine border; -Developed and continued to support the art therapy program for Ukrainian youth at the Modalinska refugee center in Warsaw (home to more than 400 Ukrainian refugee children) and at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews; -Provided van loads of food, water, candy, office equipment, supplies, audiovisual equipment, musical equipment, art supplies, computers, phones, training and basic essentials to several NGO’s managing orphanages, youth centers, refugee centers, and the aid centers at the two main Polish train stations and bus station; -Introduced Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) to Happy Kids, the Polish NGO now caring for more than 2000 Ukrainian orphans scattered around Poland with the goal of building on Happy Kids’ strengths to increase its capabilities to manage the orphan crisis in Poland and prepare for improved orphan care in Ukraine; -Introduced TCH and BCM to the Lviv Emergency Hospital to foster discussions about possible partnerships in children’s care, medical training and prosthetics; and We are assisting a US NGO, Sunflower Network, to find support for building a children’s wing to the main hospital in Brody, Ukraine (between Kyiv and Lviv). In addition, we are in discussions with a US-based property developer in Poland regarding assisting Happy Kids as an advisor on the renovation of buildings in Poland, which will provide homes and other facilities (e.g. psychosocial therapy) for Ukrainian orphans. Further, we are also in discussions with a US-based storage company in Poland regarding refrigerated shipment of our ready to eat meals to Ukraine and other potential joint efforts. Assessing where we are today, currently, we have approximately $58,000 in our bank account. Going forward, we will spend your donations on the following: -Continue to ship bulk food into Ukraine (approx. $1,000 per pallet) -Continue to manufacture and ship ready to eat meals into Ukraine ($4 per 2-person pouch); -Continue to support David Craig in his storage and delivery of supplies to Ukraine ($850/month for the warehouse facility, plus $3,000 per month for vehicle fuel); and -Continue to support of the art therapy program at Modalinska and the Museum of the History of Polish Jews ($800 per month stipend for Lilliana the artist, plus $100 per month for supplies and equipment). We will also continue to be involved as a convener or assist in some way with the following: -Advice and assistance to Happy Kids and TCH as they work to strengthen Happy Kids; -Assist Happy Kids to find financial and other support to rebuild or renovate housing and other facilities for the more than 2000 Ukrainian orphans in Poland; -Assist TCH and BCM as they explore other opportunities in Poland and Ukraine; and -Advise and assist sunflowernetwork.io in building a new children’s wing to the hospital in Brody, Ukraine. We remain committed to our Mission. We are a non-organization and thus 99% of your donations go directly to the people in need. For all those who have helped and followed us over the past year, we cannot thank you enough for your continued support, generosity and trust. Slava Ukraine!

Counterpoint: until the everyday Ivans in Russia decide to turn their guns on Putin and Moscow, F 'em. Listen to their calls home. Listen to their families, encouraging them to rape Ukrainian women. The only complaint those Ivans have is that Putin isn't giving them all the stuff they want and need to kill more Ukrainians. Russia and the Russian people are all-in on both the war and the war crimes. Choices have consequences. 20 minutes ago, immamac said: I do like the idea of this much better.

We can ask them to put a mark on the rifle and keep us updated or somesuch. But as long as we're helping Ukrainians kill the Russians who are there to kill them and their families, that's a good, good, good thing.
