Is it just me, or is the "Ukraine blew up a Tu-22M" not getting much play at all? Yes it's a single bomber but still a decent coup to have pulled it off, no?

GD_American posted:I halfass wonder if this is one of those weird statesmanship games where they didn't want the US to be publicly seen as the first to send F-16s or something, but now the dam has broke. Like some poo poo that makes sense to poli sci majors and nobody else It absolutely makes a difference for the regular civilian population in Europe. The fact that Denmark and Holland are leading the effort of bringing F-16s to Ukraine makes a fuckton more of a meaningful statement compared to Denmark sending some troops and a hospital ship to help the US do something somewhere in the Middle East or whereever. This suddenly becomes a point of pride in Denmark rather than a halfhearted "I guess we should" feeling when the US is already drowning the battlefield in equipment. If you guys have already sent 2000 tanks somewhere, what difference does it make that Denmark send 10? But if you haven't sent a single plane and the lightweights get to take the spotlight and get some serious prestige from making a donation that we can actually manage? Badass public opinion boost.

I think it's easy to get numb to "firsts" that get blown up since everyone seems to miss trees for want of deforestation. "first T-14 knocked out and captured? But what does this mean for the war? Yawn next"

Edit: So unless someone is following the war closely, it makes sense that it wouldn't be of interest to them.

It's poo poo-tier memes originating from people who openly posted their love of Hitler and hatred of Jews pre-war. And it was banned from the other thread by the admins last time they reset it. I don't see how having it here adds anything to discussion of the war. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1693773747025568164 More explosions in Moscow, also Ukraine apparently pushed past Robotyne today. Seems like that's a definite push through some of the heavier parts of the Russian lines of defense, I wonder how much more meatgrindering the Russians can take before they start breaking.

Salo is great (even if it scares non-Ukrainians), but lacks umlauts. I am trying to think if there is anything sort of national with an ї though I am not sure it counts as an umlaut anyway, being from a variant of Cyrillic...

I'm sure there's scary Ukrainian food that foreigners wouldn't eat. Nothing as potent as what people in the Nordic countries can come up with though, I think.

Let us not encourage increased production or consumption of hakkarl. It is made from Greenland sharks, miraculous creatures that may have lifespans in excess of 500 years.

A friend of mine who grew up in Bakhmut cites salo as one of her inspirations for becoming a vegetarian.
