War in Ukraine

The Russians can't really fight at night, so probably not.

One of my favorite narratives from the early reporting - The Russian soldiers in Ukraine don’t know how to use the night vision tech

 

[AM64]

The only way to change from gasoline powered cars to electric in order to "save the planet" is to build a crap ton of nuclear power plants and upgrade the electrical grid, especially in the tree hugger states like Commifornia. Just shutting down coal fired plants and switching to solar panels and windmills is about like shooting yourself in the foot right before running a marathon. Not to mention, where are the batteries coming from. A transition requires some thought and so far, I haven't seen any.

We're officially now a nation of dreamers (wild wet ones) and not of planners and deliberate thinkers. For example, a lot of people think Musk is a god; he's just a guy who hit on a couple of niche markets and made himself a celebrity ... and a fortune. But how have most of us benefitted from his schemes?

Who’s guarding Zelensky? Hopefully he has an entire platoon of Ukraine’s best.

 

[VolStrom]

not going to repost, might be more propaganda, but it looks like someone is dropping FOABS in the city, and I doubt its the Ukrainians.

What exactly is a foabs?

Probably some of their Alpha Group guys but who knows?

Are those the Chechens we've heard about?

I don't think Musk is a god. He is a planner and deliberate thinker though.

I've heard of the MOAB but wondered about this as well.

Father of all bombs? Don't the Ruskies call it the fatherland?

 

[tvolsfan]

Yes, Kadyrov is the Chechen leader.

bomb with highest non nuclear yield in their arsenal

 

[KB5252]

Father of all bombs? Don't the Ruskies call it the fatherland?

Yes but what is it? Just a larger version of the MOAB or something completely different.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

That's what russia calls them. FOABS. i can post if you want to see but its pretty clear there are more cluster bombs being dropped.

 

[MontyPython]

Seems a very large number of Ukrainian men are flocking back to their country to fight!

Per AP:

Poland's border guard estimated Sunday that since the start of the invasion roughly 22,000 people have crossed its border into Ukraine to join the fray, AP reported.

Moved to secret bunker. So that its at least in part no longer secret.

I don't doubt he would. But why tell anyone? This is the kind of posturing that creates mistakes.

I thought it was funny that the “secret bunker” has a picture attached to it and also has a known location.

 

[KB5252]

Yes, Kadyrov is the Chechen leader.

I do not understand them doing the bidding of Putin, considering their shared history.

Who thinks he's a god?

Let's completely forget about your critique of Musk and just focus on the fact that you are cherry-picking the most dreamiest of dreamers to support the idea that we are not a nation of deliberate thinkers....

...and your measure of his impact is based on how he's benefitted you and I....forget all the people in Ukraine who still have internet service right now...how has he benefited me to this date?

 

[hog88]

Yes but what is it? Just a larger version of the MOAB or something completely different.

Probably the same as our MOAB.

...that kind of looks like a mansion outside Scottsdale.
