EasilyConfused posted:Anyone able to give a summary of what's going on in Georgia? Those few tweets are the first I've heard of anything happening. Georgians are upset about the "foreign agent" registration law that just passed. It's very similar to Russia's foreign agent law Here's Johnny harris talking about it as part of a larger discussion. It's worth a listen for anyone interested in Ukraine / Russia in general. https://youtu.be/u550Si9rNv4 To understand the law that Georgia is upset about you must understand the Russian law and that's why I'm bringing it up.

This was true during the Soviet years as well - the adage, "If you want to know what the USSR is doing, look at what it accuses its enemies of doing", it never stopped being true

They could make a wicked spice bag out of them though. I'll eat any old mystery meat that's sufficiently battered, deep fried, and coated with salt, spices, and spring onions. They could call them squirrel sacks.

Brexit really hosed over fishing hard. O i should follow up. Prices did increase though by 15% or so about a year ago though. There is a reason why but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it will come to me.

If the war was going to spill out in the rest of the world it probably would have happened when Russia was firing missiles at civilian shipping vessels in the Black Sea when they were under foreign flags

HonorableTB posted:stonko! Cukoce estvmin likv? I honestly expect Ukrainian prison to try to keep the guy alive to last until tribunal/court happens, just to make an example of him. It may muddy the water of "was it Russia or Russian agents" but the victims are well established as is the law's punishment for such malice. And an official record of grievances suffered as a result of this war matter for assigning blame and reconstruction efforts. It's not like they're going to shoot him for saying some Russian nationalist line.

Oscar Wilde Bunch posted:For all the Nordstream chat, if they wanted to keep using it, couldn’t they just, like, repair it? Yeah, but who's "they"? Germany doesn't want to pay to repair it and probably couldn't lease equipment or expertise to Russia due to sanctions even if it did. Russia might not have the capability to go it alone, and it would be pointless to do so as long as Germany's stance is "we're not buying any gas that comes through those/from Russia".

From what I understood from the video it's more an evolution of the second part of their anti-mech tactics. They have infantry teams going in with anti-tank weapons that take out the lead and rear vehicles. It's at that point that tanks and artillery start trying to hit vehicles stuck in the middle. It's just that now that they've found a way to put their tanks out of counter-fire range while they do it.

PinheadSlim posted:And they did it in T-62s. Holy poo poo. This is probably a typo, the Ukrainians haven't been using the T-62 to my knowledge. Plenty of T-64/72/80 to go around and the T-62 would be a nightmare to keep in the field logistically with basically zero benefit over any of the other options (and at least as much overhead to restore one as one of the more modern captures). No documented losses of any T-62's by the Ukrainians, either. Use of the T-62 is one of the reasons you can be damned sure the Russians are scraping the bottom of the barrel for *any* tank right now. The T-62 doesn't share parts, main gun ammunition, or basically anything else in a logistics train aside from MG ammo and fuel. It was also a pretty bad tank, quickly relegated to rear echelon duty shortly after entering service back in the 60's and 70's it saw little voluntary international adoption, domestic upgrades, or even new ammunition production due to it generally just being a very mediocre machine. Which is why Russia still has some in a somewhat functional state - nobody was looking to buy them or parts for them.
