Between Shock Therapy and this, its pretty clear Jeffrey Sachs gets off on hurting Eastern Europeans.

As dumb as shock therapy was, the way Yeltzin implemented it was dumb and got little of the few actual benefits the GS plan would have given the State. Like providing capital inflows so they can run a functioning government in the 90s.

Also iirc he went in on it way harder than even the American finance ghouls had the stomach for.

Sucks for her, and I hope she'll be alright, but that's a pretty serious upgrade to Ukrainian air defense capabilities. One WIA in a night's missile barrage says that things are improving.

A hypersonic decoy will be as expensive as the actual thing. It's also not something that is in the old Soviet doctrine, why build 10 decoys when you can build 3 more actual missiles?

Just look at that number of denazified artillery systems, phew. Shaping operations continue apace, clearly.

Every year the Ukrainians commemorate the memories of the Crimean Tatars who were deported by the Soviet Union [Russia]:





















2014-2022 is just another crack at the longrunning genocide attempts against the Ukrainian people that have been going on for hundreds of years

The utter hate and contempt Russians have for Tartar people should be highlighted.

For several Russians that I met, stating that Tartars are dirty and are genetically prone to lie and cheat is apparently obvious and completely normal.

These are piecemeal barrages of drones mixed with a few missiles, not really a great test. I wonder how it would have fared against the initial attacks of hundreds of missiles a day. I remember that AA in Kiev managed an intercept rate of 60%(maybe more?) during one of the last 80+ missile attacks; I guess the true test of patriots will come if they scrounge up enough stuff for another one of those.

They probably won't scrounge up anything as long as they keep firing small ineffectual volleys every night. Seems like they're trying to waste interceptors more than anything else.

There’s also an element of luck.

And by that I mean, might not be a bad idea to emotionally prepare yourself for some lovely night when a russian missile slips through and war crimes another building of sleeping children.

Some unconfirmed news that a Patriot shot down a rashist aircraft, the article says "bomber" but I'm guessing one of the Su strike fighters and not a strategic bomber that they're keeping well inside safe territory. That is if it wasn't another missile or something.

They're probably referring to the incident in Bryansk, one of the planes that was shot down was an Su-34M if i'm not mistaken.

do gotta wonder how long before Russia runs out of poo poo to throw at Ukraine's air defenses, considering they're having to frantically buy another pile of shaheds, and will we see a similar degradation of capabilities a la going from T90/T-80 all the way back to T-54s on the tank end of things.

What older soviet era poo poo could they press into service when they run out of Kinzhals and Shaheds? I'm sure there's some part of a Shahed that can be pinched off via sanctions.
