mila kunis posted:nah i mean over syria quote:In 2019, the Princeton University-linked journal Science & Global Security, on whose editorial board Ted Postol sat,[156] intended to publish a paper titled "Computational Forensic Analysis for the Chemical Weapons Attack at Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April 2017" written by Goong Chen, Cong Gu, Postol, Alexey Sergeev, Sanyang Liu, Pengfei Yao and Marlan O. Scully. The article questioned the findings of the UN/OPCW investigation which concluded that the Assad regime had used sarin.[157] The report's arguments were rebutted in a Bellingcat article that detailed inconsistencies and anomalies in the report's analysis.[158] In response to the Bellingcat article, the editors of Science & Global Security said “Regrettably, the Bellingcat group blog post contains a number of incorrect statements about the contents and conclusions of the paper to be published. Some of the statements appear to refer to an earlier manuscript and do not take account of all the changes made during the peer review and editorial process managed by this journal”.[157] The journal later decided not to publish the paper.[157][159] I think in the original claim that only one bomb was used, and there was heavy debate about if the area it was hit was inhabited. If you are going to use sarin, I don't know why you would use one munition containing it in an area of relatively minor military value.

lol I took the opportunity to check the naval journals, and whoops, Russia is getting in gear WARSHIP NAMED AFTER A TSAR REPRESENTS RUSSIA’S POST-COLD WAR ENDURANCE AGAINST THE ODDS, RUSSIA MOVES TO SECURE ITS GLOBAL FLANKS, FROM THE GLOW OF THE COLD WAR’S THAW TO A NEW FREEZE & FEARS OF HOT CONFLICT. Yeltsin bought the west a decade and half and now they have to deal with both this and the PLAN in a way they never had to before.

USN new designs went bad, but they’re just gonna keep building proven Burkes and the new constellation FFG is a proven design from overseas, just with some slight differences. Hopefully they avoid going Zummwalt or LCS mode again.

Looks like the russians will finally take bahmut, but a heavy cost and it's not really netting them much strategically. I wonder if this will end up being seen as successfull delaying action in retrospect by the ukrainians, tying the russians down while they mobilize and train new troops and new equipment arrives from the west. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/02/16/ukraine-defenses-russia-bakhmut-war/ Even if Ukrainian troops give up on their ferocious defense of Bakhmut — a fight that has assumed more symbolic than strategic value, according to military experts — Russia lacks the trained troops and weaponry to rush headlong into the wider Donetsk region. [...] It has happened before. Russian forces last summer took the nearby city of Lysychansk, just over the border in the Luhansk region, after battering it for weeks, and got as far as Lyman 36 miles west, in Donetsk. But they lost Lyman in Ukraine’s counteroffensive last fall. Bakhmut, the next major target in Moscow’s plan to conquer all of southeastern Ukraine, is 37 miles west of Lysychansk and still not firmly in Russia’s grip after months of fighting. The soldiers here expect the same grinding dynamic to continue, with Russia throwing mostly untrained conscripts at the new Ukrainian defensive positions as they have in the bloody streets of Bakhmut. [...] Moscow is desperate for a symbolic victory to reverse months of humiliating defeats during Ukrainian counteroffensives in Kharkiv and Kherson. [...] Ukrainians, meanwhile, are hailing their fighters’ scrappy defense of Bakhmut as another modern Thermopylae, akin to the holdouts who refused to give up the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol for weeks before the Russians took the city in May.

It's weird that it is critically important when reporting on Ukraine's dogged defence and irrelevant when the defence fails.

fact check: Russia has completely run out of ammo, tanks, and men, several times. TRUE analysis: due to an unfortunate integer overflow issue, Russia now has the maximum possible value of ammo, tanks, and men. the takeaway: this is good news for Ukrainian forces, as 30% of all Russian tanks are captured by Ukraine.

I think it's interesting the way that the internet has affected the way homefront perceives the war, and I wonder if it's affecting Russian decision making. In any previous war, if a company armored attack ran into a minefield outside the staging area and lost a dozen vehicles to artillery fire it would be a misfortune of war that ultimately wouldn't rise above operational significance. Now it's blasted around the international media and amateurs on Telegram with millions of followers spend weeks demanding their own stupid reforms get put in place, not understanding that these sorts of grisly incidents are going to happen if you want to make a breakthrough in a peer war. And of course, it'd be very difficult for the MoD to just say the truth, which is that men and materiel are to a degree expendable, poo poo happens in war, and if you can't accept your soldiers dying you shouldn't fight the war. It makes the Ukrainian media strategy of lying about, denying, and blacking out coverage of their losses seem like the much better option. Рыбарь posted:🇷🇺🇺🇦 After yesterday's release of the Rybar's Analysis program and the mention of the incident with the convoy near Ugledar, several questions were received in the feedback at once, why can't the Russian Armed Forces just hit the area with Grads and bombs for mine clearance?

TRUE "As 30% of infinity is also infinity, this is fine, as both sides will be equal now, so we just need to give Ukraine some bonus Leopards on top then they will outnumber the Russians and win." - Some columnist somewhere.
