LtCol J. Krusinski posted:They got ‘em, but every thing I’ve ever been taught about the profession of arms prevents me from saying they should smoke ‘em. I actually meant cigars, it was a line from some old action movie that I can't recall. I think Ukraines treatment of Russian captives has been exemplary and is a huge PR boon for them and also for possibly getting their own people and civilians back and I agree completely with what you suggest. Those who were Ukrainian collaborators might be getting smoked though, although I think that would be more partisains after Russian's flee, but before Ukraine arrives, as they've been good about arresting and not straight killing collaborators.

Yeah, this is going to enter a dicey phase - handling the mass surrender and processing of Russian POWs and reintegration of liberated territories without a lot of reprisal killings may be tricky but it's going to be really important for setting the stage for sustained peace and avoiding handing Russia a propaganda win.

Eh, collaborators? That’s an internal problem, and if they’ve decided to go with summary executions… well, I’m not losing sleep over it. I don’t know that the League of Nations or the UN or just the world at large have any rules about how you deal with those kind of people under these circumstances. I’ll happily be proven wrong on a factual basis, but I can’t really see myself changing views on collaborators. If Eddie Slovak could hang for refusing to fight, I feel like we don’t have the ground to say poo poo about them hanging collaborators. But I mean… I’m not a good person by some measures, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in what I feel. Other than to say there are way more people that feel along the lines that I do than don’t. That’s more a comment on people, than morality.

That's my theory anyway.

Milo and POTUS posted:Why's this, abutting the river and sea? In-game the supply system approximates what is happening to Russia, RE: that video of Russians getting incoming artillery on a pontoon bridge. That's the only way in or out, and now your army is stuck on the wrong side of the river and the enemy can interdict your meagre river supply. Encirclements are prized as well because it's the only way to apply actual causalities en masse instead of attriting their equipment. Usually you do 'deep battle' and bumrush armored divs through front lines and hold your gains with motorized infantry, once the encircle is complete the supply for those units plummets and you can reduce them quickly. Is this about HoI4 or 2022? Yes

A lot of people I know have had it at least once at this point. I've been curious myself. I can't tell if I've been extraordinarily lucky or if I've been more careful than I think. I worked an electrical field service job where most coworkers and customers didn't care or weren't super careful. I'm also not a specimen of peak physical health. Maybe all that 2020 drinking made my body a hostile environment???

I got miserably sick on a det to Key West back in April, but the official policy was "no getting tested for COVID while on det", so as far as anyone knows I've never had COVID. By now my cough has almost completely gone away.

Ukraine's success in its counterattacks seem to have undermined Russia's status as a security power and emboldened Azerbaijan to attack Armenia last night. https://apnews.com/article/azerbaijan-armenia-1aa2ec4e28135a8667823476c391e3ea quote:Speaking in parliament early Tuesday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Azerbaijani shelling has killed at least 49 Armenian soldiers.

The Russians left Armenia to the wolves the last time, despite them being in the CSTO, and not being committed in Ukraine like now. I'd hardly call it taking advantage of the situation if Russian policy towards Armenia is not to give a gently caress to start with.

I don’t know if I got it at some point and didn’t get sick (That would be extremely good and lucky for me since I have every complicating comorbidity EXCEPT diabetes) or if my preferred state of isolation and vaccination kept me from getting it. I mean, my county is the most active county in my state, and my state is leading the charge on COVID infections. Yay red states. Anyway you cut it, my biggest socialization every year is going deer hunting with my extended family. Wife is a nurse and has worked the entire pandemic. She never got it, that we know of, and she was exposed many different times. Close to 3 years since COVID kicked off and it still scares the poo poo out of me.

I'm sure natural immunity actually exists, but we've known it's existed for HIV for a very long time and I don't think that knowledge has been overly helpful.

Speaking of COVID, I missed this earlier: “On September 1, 2022, CDC recommended updated COVID-19 boosters from Pfizer-BioNTech for people ages 12 years and older and from Moderna for people ages 18 years and older.” Their announcement phrased is in a real dipshit passive-voice referential way: quote:Today, CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., endorsed the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendations for use of updated COVID-19 boosters from Pfizer-BioNTech for people ages 12 years and older and from Moderna for people ages 18 years and older. They could have just said something like, “The CDC approved a new booster on September 1st and recommends that everyone get it.”

Kicking your regional rival while they're down is just good politics, especially if Daddy Russia is off getting his balls crushed in a vice. Unfortunately, I don't know if Armenia can resist Azerbaijan successfully. Only Georgia is friendly and Georgia is in no position to help in any real way.
