Zedhe Khoja posted:The JAO is treated as some sort of cynical joke on Stalin's part but it's genuinely one of the best chunks of land in all of Russia. Great soil, great climate (well winters are rough), beautiful as hell, poo poo tons of resources. I'll take your word on the soil but the climate doesn't look too good to me. It's got a short sharp growing / warm season where it's overcast a third of the time. At least it has good rainfall then. My source if you want to look at all the graphs. https://weatherspark.com/y/143222/Average-Weather-in-Birobidzhan-Russia-Year-Round  Here's a couple of key agricultural metrics compared to London.  https://weatherspark.com/compare/y/143222~45062/Comparison-of-the-Average-Weather-in-Birobidzhan-and-London

Was Wagner actually recruiting from psychiatric care hospitals? I remember hearing something about that but I was pretty sure at the time it was something Ukraine made up to try and smear the recruiting process that was going on lol **by this I mean to say, recruiting people with mental illness is something that would only actually make sense in a military context in a American spy novel lol

wagner recruited a crack squad from a psychiatric hospital. they're lethal... insanely lethal. there's striker - he has depression, he welcomes death and will off himself the second he gets his gun. there's slim - she has anorexia and presents a smaller target. she'll starve after a few weeks. there's wildcard - he's a real schizophrenic and you know what that means: he immediately deserts to go stalk some celebrity there's grace - she's catatonic... in the face of danger... and also at any other time. i don't know what people who fantasise about recruiting patients from psychiatric hospitals expect. a group of hannibal lecters tearing their way through the battlefield?

What's up with the rumours there might be a Coalition of the Willing to liberate them, and where's the thread to discuss? I want to gossip about Tony Blair trying to get the Commonwealth to assemble a brigade group to invade Zimbabwe in the late 90's early 00's.

Page 56: Ace approached the liberated village outhouse, his custom chromed blacked out multicam swiss made FN-2000 with the underslung shotgun / grenade attachement loaded and side mounted bayonet at the ready. That breakfast burrito weighed heavily on his mind. He easily disarmed another primitive Russian booby trap consisting of two tin cans hiding a grenade then checked out the interior. "drat" he muttered to himself, through his limited edition Bungie store Destiny 2: Forsaken Edition neck gaiter. It was gone. The toilet was just gone. Smashed out by the looks of it. The Russians had been careful not to damage their prize but not being able to use tools they'd instead crudely ripped up the floor and part of the wall and taken the whole lot with them. The bastards. Ace's breakfast burrito continued to rumble.

Good news for Ukraine - Their counter-offensive is outperforming expectations https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4123794-does-ukraine-have-a-second-summer-push-up-its-sleeve/ Does Ukraine have a second summer push up its sleeve? BY BRAD DRESS 07/28/23 5:42 AM ET John Herbst, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and now a senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, said Ukraine has slightly outperformed his expectations. He pointed to Bakhmut in particular, where Ukrainian troops are retaking swaths of territory after Russia expended thousands of troops over a year to seize the city. “If they were to close off Bakhmut and capture 10,000 or 15,000 Russian soldiers, that will be a significant defeat, with real political ramifications,” Herbst said. He also argued that if Ukraine retakes up to 500 square miles of territory by the end of the operation, that would still be a victory. “That’s not an impressive feat,” Herbst said. “But it compares very nicely with the failure of the Russian counteroffensive, which took nine months to take Bakhmut.”

There's a video making the rounds of a single Russian tank taking out an entire armored column of Ukraine. The the commentary from the Russian onlookers is pretty hilarious as they watch in amazement/disbelief. IK edit: thread consensus seems to be we draw the line at videos of tanks full of people in them getting blown up, even if it's pretty far off or abstract Somebody has issued a correction as of 04:58 on Jul 30, 2023 |
