According to some analysts, they think the Russians were trying to lit it ablaze- dump fuel, and then a close pass with afterburner to try and ignite it.

Lol. This reminds me of Red Adair's crew using a static mounted (mig29?) jet engine to blow out an oilwell fire.

e: it was Hungarians using old T32 tanks with 2x mig21 engines. loving metal.

See, this is why I figured I'd take that poo poo and break the containment of the Ukraine thread. Since apparently Russian higher-ups more or less ordered the fuckery, it's dumbshittery outside of what we've seen in Ukraine and outside the theorycrafting/updates in there.

Like that's some battlefield-rear end flight skill on display there.

Apparently the GETTR MAGA knockoff social media site is going to become Your Home For Unvaccinated Spooge, or at least it was until Bannon's bro just got arrested:

https://twitter.com/swin24/status/1636393589470117890?t=jzhB5VphMnAQ7GMIm9qCkg&s=19


quote:

Three sources familiar with the matter and a fourth briefed on the situation describe serious, repeated discussions about creating the online anti-vax semen market, in which unvaccinated men would self-advertise and sell sperm to the highest bidder. Two of the sources say stakeholders have gone so far as to explore possible “testing requirements” to ensure specimens came from unvaccinated donors.

Some staff have also expressed skepticism internally about the feasibility of the plan, noting restrictions of semen sales in other countries and other hurdles. All four sources spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe these deliberations, with one adding that “it’s just so embarrassing, man."

It’s “the most ludicrous loving thing to come out of pro-Trump social media in a long time, and that is saying something,” another of the sources says.
---
Guo has already pitched one business scheme based on unvaccinated sperm — including his own. “All the fellow fighters’ sperm and eggs will be put for auction on our Gettr between June 1 and June 6, 2023,” Guo said on a February 22 livestream, where claimed to have amassed nearly 6,000 eggs and “millions” of sperm from unvaccinated donors. “It will be the most meaningful event of this year. We will auction off the best sperm and eggs, which of course include my sperm.”

Even before what I assume are massive supply shortages, were the Russians known for any particularly good or even available infantry-based AT weapons? At this point, I have to imagine a Russian in a trench hearing a big diesel engine just starts rippin' butts and chompin' down whatever good ration bits he was saving.

In case you missed it, Bethany Mandel, a conservative writer who wrote an entire book about the perils of ~bEiNg WoKe~ and went viral in the literal sense of the word for her, uh, strong feelings about masks, went on Briahna Joy Gray's show "Rising." Like five minutes into the interview, she absolutely crashed and burned when asked to define what "woke" means (again, remember that she just wrote a book on it) and absolutely flailed about while trying- and failing- to provide a definition.

https://twitter.com/vanguard_pod/status/1635749284355211264

Her response was to claim that she was thrown off guard by the host apparently making a mean remark about parents before the show, which again, had been going on for like five minutes before they got to this specific question.

https://twitter.com/bethanyshondark/status/1636023822158635010

Meanwhile, Ken Klippenstein, who's a pretty great journalist who writes for the Intercept and other outlets, has been retweeting a bunch of her more ridiculous tweets, including this humdinger about her mother
