Ukrainian lodges protest against a conscription officer by hitting him with his car, then lodges a second protest aided by an axe and a guy on a horse with his own axe. There's a brief view of Ukrainian soldiers that are just standing around and filming.

Sergeant Korbein Schultz, a U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst with the 506th Infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell in Kentucky was Arrested by the FBI today on 6-Counts of Conspiracy and Bribery after he is Alleged to have Sold State Secrets, which included Information on the Defense of Taiwan, War in Ukraine, Air Defenses, and the U.S. Army’s M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), to Chinese Intelligence Agents for over $42,000.

Seems like the States should pay their military people more if one of them can be compelled to sell state secrets for $42,000.

Given when he joined:

$460.25/mo sustenance allowance

Housing allowance per month for his local base is an interesting number, assuming he's single:


In any case, he risked this for about 9 months' pay.

i'm guessing this is another casualty of relying too much on defeating the btg because ukraine focused on making as many maneuver units as possible who inevitably cannibalize their engineer formations for infantry after trying to overwhelm a motor rifle divison's targeting too many times?

Lithuania sends 155-mm munitions to Ukraine
EUROPEAN PRAVDA, UKRAINSKA PRAVDA — THURSDAY, 7 MARCH 2024, 23:07

On 7 March, the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence announced that it had sent another package of military aid to Ukraine, which includes 155-mm artillery ammunition.

Source: European Pravda

Details: Lithuanian Minister of National Defence Arvydas Anušauskas stressed that Lithuania is sending "what Ukraine needs most right now".

"We hear them, and our assistance continues," he added.

In addition to sending military equipment and weapons, Lithuania contributes to Ukraine's defence by providing training, treatment and rehabilitation for wounded soldiers, expert advice, and contributions to Ukraine's aid funds.

Germany’s Kiel Institute for the World Economy estimates that Lithuania has provided support to Ukraine worth 1.8% of its GDP, and by this metric it is currently the world's top supporter of Ukraine.

Lithuanian MEP Andrius Kubilius, who has twice served as prime minister, has proposed the creation of a ministry or other institution within the Lithuanian government that would coordinate assistance to Ukraine.

Looks more anti-British and French to me, that particular tweet at least as it recognises that the offer of aid to Finland was just a pretext to seize the iron ore in Northern Sweden rather than help Finland. From what I understand the British and French themselves told Finland that of the expeditionary force only some 30 000 would come to Finland itself which seems to suggest that they had no idea how bad the situation was for Finland in late February, early March. What could a force like that accomplish other than a fighting retreat back to Sweden?

I believe the determination was Israel killed more children in 5 days of bodies than have been killed by both sides combined in Ukraine

7,668 confirmed civilians killed on territory held by Ukraine by 24 February 2024, per the OHCHR. About 15,000 total recorded deaths of Gazans by December 7, mostly women and children. Presumably some militants in the total but it's really heavily weighed towards women and children so probably not many.

So yes, about half.

Here's the latest UN report. Some people think there were just massive amounts of civilian deaths in Mariupol that aren't counted here but I haven't seen good enough evidence to agree.

I just mean that since the military deaths are fully made up and change to fit the weekly PR push I dunno if I believe the civilian numbers either but I won’t lie and say I’ve done a lot of research on it
