    I volunteered today. Log/Admin role to replace people for 30-60 days. The operation is in the west, or should the Orcs win will be pulled back behind the NATO wall. Either way the humanitarian effort

More videos are emerging regarding the Caesar Kunikov. Two explosions can be seen here, though the second one is far more powerful and indicates that it was ammunition. Unlikely that many on the ship survived this secondary explosion.Source: https://t.co/rkL0OCsBdh#Ukraine…— (((Tendar))) (@Tendar)

I do not expect Russia to admit the loss of "Cezar Kunikov".They never acknowledged the sinking of "Ivanovets" just 13 days ago.After "Novocherkassk", which they did confirm was struck, this is the third Ropucha-class landing ship destroyed in less than 2 months.

 

DeepState says russian column was attacked and destroyed last night north-east of Avdiivka:"Katsaps were preparing to transfer the equipment to Avdiivka, but were destroyed between Verkhnyotoretsky and Kamianka. Great joint work of all "Avdiivka" brigades and battalions".…

Fun fact this ship was named for Tsaezar Kunikov, who died 81 years ago on this date fighting for the Soviets in WW2. Not sure if just a pure coincidence or if the Ukrainians are adding an extra fuck you to the Ruskies.

 

#78057

Caesar Kunikov could carry 10 main battle tanks and 340 troops at one landing.  hopefully, they were transporting good stuff to the war effort when it was sunk.

Just a reminder of the long-term effects of this war, the Caesar Kudukhov was built and launched in the 1980s by Soviet era shipbuilders in Poland. Russia really doesn’t have the shipbuilding expertise and facilities now or in the future to replace it.

its not like they will have a port to launch anything out of on the black sea anyway anymore.    even if russia ends up in a treaty with Crimea, their bases on the peninsula have proven to be completely exposed.     even if Ukraine is forced to give it up, Ukraine has learned how to play Russia's game against them, just have a rogue group "not at all affiliated with Ukraine" that just happens to make drone attack boats that keep attacking the Russian ships every month or so.

when Russia complains that they have been attacked, Ukr just shrug their shoulders and say the Ukrainian military has nothing to do with these breakaway drone terrorists.

So this doesn't seem good. Wonder if it's the gps jamming in Königsberg that's been going on for the last few months or something more to do with online hacking and/disinformation campaigns or maybe new nuclear testing going on? 

Democratic source familiar w/threat tells @NBCNews: “This is a serious issue that could lead to a destabilizing situation and a national security threat.”Described it as a "potential foreign threat" but would not say where the threat is coming from. https://t.co/CcMEdhcstT

 

Four sources with knowledge of the issue said the threat is a Russian military capability https://t.co/MK5GuTSRdB

Why, why, why can't American teevee journalists be as good as British ones? Is it their education and training? Is it because a bunch of them were Mass Comm majors and not Journalism ones? Is it just that the BBC doesn't, I assume, have to worry about offending advertising money? All of the above?

Maybe someone should let Elmo know that an anti-sat nuclear attack would surely take out his Starlink system, and would also mean drastically reducing the reach of his beloved X platform.  Maybe, just possibly maybe, he might figure out that Putin is not his fucking friend and is just using and abusing him like a cheap (and gullible) whore.

Someone at bluesky linked to this, dude's the defence editor at The Economist. Seems more than a bit over the top and like maybe the chairman of the House Intel Committee leaked it for his own purposes, but idk.

I'm sure I'll regret asking this but what is the tactical purpose of launching an ICBM in outer space towards other outer space targets?  The nuclear fallout/shockwave doesn't have nearly the same effect up there as it does down here?  

What am I missing?

EMP attack to target some critical spy/communication satellites.

Well, I get the comms cut but you wouldn't use a nuclear warhead to do that.  There are a half-dozen conventional options that can sever sat comms without raising the red flags and negative repercussions from the international community of deploying a nuclear weapon, even in space.  You can easily arrange a "Space Junk" accident up there with the same tactical effect, and save face without the incredibly obvious nuclear imagery signature of a purposely detonated shipped/launched/detonated device for literally half the planet to see.

I was thinking about this book the other day and Russia.  It's a wonderfully written novel by Russian author, Bulkagov called "The Master and Margarita" (our English translation).  It's probably not been read by 89% of Americans and 99% of Americans who oppose supporting Ukraine.  If you believe, as the Christianity claims, that the Devil is all around us and we must cast him out from our lives because he fools us into doing evil things.  You would do well to read it instead of just preaching to us about how the Devil has taken over our country and maybe even our planet.  

Long story, short (too late, Lobo).  The Devil takes on myriad forms throughout history from Ancient Rome to Christianity to eventually threatening the very existence of the Russian hierarchy.  He uses Russia against her enemies and her enemies against Russia.  It even forecasts that Russian evils (the book was eventually embargo'd by the USSR) will eventually be accentuated by even more powerful forces outside her borders (it obviously doesn't explicitly mention the United States but one could easily supplant that idea upon some of his metaphors and amalgamations).  One can also obviously see how Putin is a version of a few of the characters, though they are long and tired Russian fictional tropes.  But the trick is, seeing who the Devil can also be who you don't see coming.  If you really believe what your church and your bible tells you about how evil comes in the form of someone offering you comfort and validation if you'll only just support this unjust cause over here in my other hand...that's the true work of evil genius.  Be careful when you pull a lever for allowing Russia to expand this theater.  For the Devil is not the obvious guy committing the heinous acts, but instead could very well be the charismatic other guy who convinces us to look the other way while it's happening.  

You'll most likely know the story better in its more modern, and samba-like incarnation.  Pleased to meet you.  Hope you guessed my name?

Hasn’t Russia tried and failed repeatedly in recent months to demonstrate their ICBMs? …And their nuclear war headed nuclear powered UUV looks like bullshit… but we’re gonna assume they still possess the ability to put a nuke into space and remotely launch it years in the future? I won’t be holding my breath

Russia does not care about the international community response and enjoys having dramatic and frightening options available to pound the table with.  It’s never only about the desired military effect at that level.

Good decision. The strategic withdrawal plan from Avdiivka had already been on the table for 2+ weeks. But has now been communicated to the outside world. As far as I know, this concerns the areas to the east near Kam'yanka. Zenit is still unknown.https://t.co/nFHGtlf8zg

Sure, but we’ve seen their ‘top’ scientists can’t develop a hypersonic missile either. Brain drain from Russia has been well documented and it seems evident today. The timing of these headlines make them appear intended to scare the average idiot and ultimately apply pressure to the House. Don’t get me wrong, I’m good with that. Do whatever it takes to get support to Ukraine. I just don’t believe Russia can actually accomplish any cutting edge technological achievement right now.
