keep punching joe posted:itshappening.gif of ron paul's skeleton exploding in a fireball Sounds like the Spanish foreign minister pandering to the public. From the same article: "Friday’s summit will involve a discussion of all potential options and implications of the conflict, a senior Nato official told the FT. But alliance officials have consistently stressed in recent days that a no-fly zone or other intervention that would risk direct clashes with Russia is not an option due to the risk of sparking a wider conflict." NATO's line thankfully hasn't changed by all accounts.

Budzilla posted:Apart from the other stuff said, Turkish fail coup and Harambe. Actually does anyone have that Vince McMahon GIF of 2016? Plz post it, I would appreciate it. They aren’t as bad as they’re made out to be, it’s really just a way of packing more power into a smaller warhead. They can probably achieve the same effect in a similar time with a couple of howitzers.

There's a RC-135U Combat Sent patrolling Romanian skies atm. First time I've seen that type in the air during conflict. From descriptions I can find online it's designed to collect and analyze information about new or upgraded systems for future use. There's only 2 of these types in operation.

Money and assurance of no criminal charges Now she probably understands that the party is over Anton Krasovsky is another famous ex-opposition guy, who became the token gay on RT. At least in his case the charges were very real (got provoked into violent outburst against a paparazzi), being gay in Russian prison would have been fatal. Now he is a lifer for the regime and proudly wears Z t-shirts.

Budzilla posted:Azerijiban used them in their war with Armenia for the same purpose. However NATO is probably causing cancer with the amount of signals intelligence from its states bordering Ukraine and these 'bait' aircraft probably won't be as effective. If the Ukrainians don't take the bait, the next time they take off they will be filled to the brim with TNT and used as lovely, slow cruise missiles.

Captain Theron posted:Nah, he's no fan of the Russians. Of some of their equipment, sure, but he's been plenty critical in previous videos looking into the RA's attempts to modernise. He's pretty dorky, but he knows what he is talking about and is trying to provide an objective assessment through the fog of war. Yeah agreed. The John Oliver approach of jokes and news might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'd consider him a reliable military analyst. And for all that Chris is the face of the YouTube channel, there's a number of other writers and contributors as well. They've got a bunch of different gear and history coverage, and in particular have some of the most detailed information available on new weapons programs like the Army's NGSW rifle program. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-next-generation-squad-weapon-m4-m249/

Anyone capable of critical thinking has been replaced with a flag waving brexit ideologue. What does it even mean anyway, they fired at the facility deliberately? Sure. They didn't aim at anything dangerous, instead hitting a car park and training building deliberately? Ok. Why not. Great analysis from our great country.

Combat search and rescue will probably get dropped after they got that Su-25 and subsequent helicopter got downed. Open fields are also a lot harder to hide in. Russian CSAR: "Leave no man behind!"* *(Simply backdate crew resignation until just before takeoff).

KitConstantine posted:Quick weapons post Ukraine said they will show no mercy to artillery/mrls crews including spotters, loaders, drivers, radiomen if they are found to have fired on cities. They will be hunted down and killed by special forces and will not be shown amnesty (I think they mean payment) if they surrender. So perhaps a lot more indirect fire vehicles will be found abandoned over the next few days if that message spreads to the russian forces.

ronya posted:Food impacts thread: This matches my thoughts re: the ag situation, though obviously a more educated perspective on Africa specifically. He's being very conservative with his "should" here. I would say "is guaranteed to" https://twitter.com/David_McNair/status/1499644409096413184?t=UJaYBMWPZ5-vfxqNLSRTEQ&s=19 Most meat that you buy in a store is "finished" - aka fed exclusively for the last few months to reach market weight- on grain. Grain is usually cheap and plentiful and it's low labor to just dump a pile of feed in front of a cow/pig/chicken in a pen and leave em to it. That's why grass-fed is more expensive - it requires more space and more labor because the animals have to be rotated though different pastures to prevent them from being over-grazed. More grain being diverted to human consumption means less available for feeding animals. This means that farmers are going to be selling off current stock quicker so they dont have to keep feeding them, cull breeding animals for meat sale because they won't want as many babies for a while, and they'll raise less animals. Prices on meat may actually drop for a bit as the extra meat from culls hits the market, but eventually the prices are gonna go up. There's a serious monopoly issue among processing plants that keeps prices artificially low in the states but I don't think that's gonna be enough. Milk prices should be relatively stable because cows are primarily fed on silage/alfalfa but I wouldn't be surprised to see increases there too. Sorry for the ag post novels, I just think it's important to discuss the downstream food impacts of this. KitConstantine fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Mar 4, 2022 |

The longer this drags on, the more chances for Ukrainians to commit atrocities in return. This will hand good PR opportunities and some sliver of a contour line of moral high ground back to Putin.
