Tiny Timbs posted:Also, NATO certainly wasn't giving any indication they supported Ukraine's admission. The opposite, in fact. The crisis was both manufactured and already dealt with by Russia inciting a perpetual conflict on its eastern border. And yet a not insignificant number of people are arguing that it was NATOs fault for admitting members who felt Russia was an existential threat, thus causing Russia to be angry. e: Per the WSJ, a NATO official stated that Russian losses may be as high as 40,000, once wounded, captured, and deserters are added into the mix. psydude fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Mar 24, 2022 |

Alarbus posted:For what it's worth, The Master and Margarita is a great book, the 1993 translation by Burgin and O'Connor is really good. It actually provides some context to the Russian approach to, uh, everything? Any book that features a gunfight with the NKVD precipitated by a cat objecting to second-class fresh fish warrants a read. I have the Glenny translation and I've never found it lacking.

I think you will find that Dacia is traditionally Roman territory and her people share a connection you wouldn't understand

I'm seeing videos on Reddit of a burning Russian ship at a port in the Sea of Azov. Allegedly it's a landing craft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKiOmcaqdiE e: https://twitter.com/olliecarroll/status/1506888821073453061 psydude fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Mar 24, 2022 |

Also, with a visiting US President and NATO, EU and G7 summits in Brussels today, it seems like a good day to work from home for me.

Alan Smithee posted:how would an IS-3 go up against modern armor? Depends. Are they fighting another IS3 that was abandoned earlier that day and someone hung a Ukrainian flag on it? I don't think you'll penetrate the armour on any modern tank*. If you're not getting shot at, you'll be out of the rain and a god on the battlefield. If you are getting shot at, the good news is that you'll probably never see it coming. *: egg carton armour excepted.

Alan Smithee posted:how would an IS-3 go up against modern armor? Isreal had a real problem with them when fighting them with m48s that had 90mm guns. Modern tank weapons shouldn't have a problem at all however. Considering how badly the modern russian tanks have handled ukraines mud the IS-3 would be even worse off. ded fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Mar 24, 2022 |

There are easier and safer way to disappear a ship if you’re onboard. Line up the emergency E/R bilge suction with the sea water intake and open the sea cocks. Hush lightpole / blyatov y’all haven’t tested that check valve in like eight years and you ain’t even Russian

Here's a much higher resolution video of the aftermath (from afar). I don't know a lot about ship fires, but the fire at the bow of the Orsk looks pretty intense. https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/tm4h7p/run_boy_run_a_ropuchai_class_russian_navy/

It’s no big deal! I’ve read reliable sources that say that Russia is building many more landing ships, but the timetable for completion doesn’t matter because Russia’s complete victory is imminent!

Thats one ship. Whats worse for the Russians is that dock is going to be unusable for at least a week before they can pull out the wreck and scuttle it. Thats assuming the dock isn't damaged in the fire. The cranes needed for unloading might well be damaged/warped as well from the heat.

This is wild. Anonymous is claiming that they have hacked into the Central Bank of Russia. Allegedly, they are releasing files in 48 hours. I wonder if any charges are going to result from this dump. https://securityaffairs.co/wordpres...-bank-of-russia

I keep waiting for the Russians to start releasing all their vaunted ~kompromat~. Lindsay Graham can only advocate for Putin's assassination so many times before the world learns way more about "Lady G" than it ever wanted to.
