new UN human rights office statement on findings about torture and treatment of prisoners by both russia and ukraine:

https://ukraine.un.org/en/207332-more-8-months-russias-armed-attack-ukraine-and-ensuing-escalation-hostilities-un-reports

needless to say, there's some pretty graphic descriptions of torture in here, so warning for that. both russia and ukraine are torturing people brutally, and there are credible reports of both torture leading to death (by the Russians) and summary executions of prisoners (by the Ukrainians).

russia and ukraine tortured some folks

russia and ukraine torturing people to death and executing prisoners is surely just a regrettable action of some misguided, low-level enlisted personnel and not deliberate policy articulated and implemented by those with command and control

also completely unsurprising but still funny that Anne Applebaum has an article out going "okay who can say if it was really a Russian missile, I'm just going to heavily imply it was while calling for NATO to invade Russia. I'm against escalation btw."

the soviet union cheated the west out of a nuclear war and this is the real reason the liberals will not forgive or forget them

What ever happened to that hillbilly boomer from Texas? He was palling around with the Russian army back in February/March. I hope he's settled down in a dacha somewhere and sired a few half-breed Orclings. :)

favorite story about this guy is that during the initial fighting in 2014, a Vice reporter asked the other soldiers in the militia unit if they thought he was a CIA agent. the response was "no," and when asked why they thought so, one of the militia said something along the lines of "just look at him."

Eh, people were convinced of that because invading was obviously a really stupid idea. We were right about the second part!:shrug:

the only reason those people were wrong is because they wanted to hug and kiss vladimir putin, rather than correctly judging that actually invading was a really dumb idea.

It’s comforting to know Corbyn and Sanders had naïve power-adverse wimp precedent.

Can't speak to Corbyn that much but I feel like this understates that Sanders is entirely satisfied with how things turned out. This is what he wanted and what he and his handpicked team fought for.

As I am not an American I’m sure I’m missing something here, but didn’t Sanders and his team achieve nothing at all?

When asked, Sanders (in a recent interview) spoke to his having "raised awareness" and "built a movement." Additionally, Sanders' best friend in the world Joe Biden was elected and Sanders was at pains during the primary campaign to say how he and Joe were exactly the same in policies and goals.

Awareness raised. Movement built. Trump defeated. Best friend Joe Biden elected, who could not have won without Sanders' vocal support and the votes and volunteer hours of Sanders' supporters.

They need to be producing rifles and ammunition, so this tech poo poo is absolutely insane. Adam Tooze wrote a book about how Nazi Germany was making industry intensive consumer goods like electric kettles and automobiles well past the point they should have been making helmets and trucks, but these guys are making apps.

Albert Speer in his book (problematic I know) makes specific call outs to a publishing firm making maps in German and Farsi for some by then very unrealistic program for an invasion of Iran. Also still operating full tilt was the German perfume industry.

The Italian furniture industry was still in full, prewar production all the way up to 1943.

Is there any truth to the story that Soviet era bridges were built too small for western tanks?

I understand the Abrams is very maintenance intensive and the gas turbine engine requires some particularly technical knowledge to service, whereas a typical tank diesel engine can be fixed by some idiot like me.
Plus they're really pretty vulnerable, I posted a link to a video in the last thread of a Saudi Abrams (so as modern as it gets baring probably the depleted uranium armor) being defeated by an Iranian version of a Konkur, a 50 year old bigger version of a Fagot.
