I used to be an MMA coach and I shared a gym with a Systema coach for a while. Systema is the dumbest cult poo poo I've ever seen, it's literally just erotic hypnosis pretending to be a combat art.

Whenever I watched his class I felt loving awful for the students.

Guess it was a big mistake to also have tasked the orthodox combat wizards with the collection of duties and tariffs on foreign cigarettes. They’ve lost their edge at scrying and divining but can probably spot a counterfeit tax stamp from 6 km away while incarnated as a celestial hawk or egret.

We can all learn from our past mistakes.


Here is the original article with a google translate. Basically a 12 meter water line cuts through the center of the facility but estimates for the peak is from 9m-14m. If the water rises to 12 meters half of the facility will be down for a while. 13 it would need an overhaul and hopefully a lot of equipment would be rendered useless.

Don't forget Antarctica, discovered by a Russian.

(There is a techno thriller where the Soviets invade Antarctica for some rare mineral to make super weapons and in it they give the discovery by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, a Russian, as the basis for their claim. It sounded so ridiculous at the time)

They were warned to not attack Ukraine's civilian infrastructure last year. This can end with all of their refineries ending up in ruins in exchange, it's only fair.

They were kinda stupid to escalate maximally (short of nuclear weapons) right from the start since it makes any threat they make completely impotent as they're doing whatever they're threatening regardless. Like if they weren't attacking Ukrainian infrastructure they might actually get Ukraine to think twice about hitting the oil plants.

During the week I was drinking with a Ukrainian veteran whom I've gotten to know over the last couple of months here in the UK, and every so often between his (surprisingly enthusiatic) war stories I show him some of the more absurd stuff being reported, usually from this thread. And then we got to that video, the report on the Forest Doorbell Fiasco.

I have never seen such a look of bewilderment develop on a human face. He's there, drink in hand, listening to the Ukrainian account of events, and his expression went from "odd idea but okay" to "they loving pressed it?!", all without words. Eventually, he uttered "what the gently caress?" and started laughing uncontrollably.

Neat!

Russian intelligence is half assing it again. The real plan is to have the French "invade" Ukraine and Big Z surrenders to the French and gives all Ukrainian controlled territory to France for a year or two to end the "hostilities" between them. It's a bullshit, bald faced, in the open, Russian style lie of course and temporary to boot, but it makes Ukraine technically France.

If Putin can invade and pretend he's fighting NATO anyway, why can't NATO invade and pretend to win a war? He keeps saying they are at war with NATO either way.

Defending "Eastern France" sounds just like what Article 5 was meant for.

Maybe they should even move a couple nukes in since they used to have them but lost them in a treaty. Seems like they should have some back.

Now that would be escalation!

Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

From what I know, there's actually been one or two recurring appeal videos from some lucky survivors. Then their luck tended to run out anyway shortly after that.
