al-saqr understands that the most important part of effective gunnery is volume of fire. you have a very short window to get the right prediction for something and the best way to ensure you're correct when the dust settles is to maximize the amount of takes in the air

How did Trots become Neocons? That part never made sense to me.

trotskyists spent all their time post-exile crafting theories as to why the ussr was actually the most evil state in the history of the planet, and after a while its easy to drop the "we would have done communism better" fig leaf

Dear All,
Due to series of cyber attacks we had to temporarily close our online shop. We would like to apologize for all the inconvenience it had caused you. We are taking now a break to analyze all the issues and will come back with a renewed, much stronger version. We will announce it ahead of time so you do not need to keep monitoring the site. 5000 orders (or 30000 stamps) with “Russian ship go f…” will remain available for order once we resume sales and will let you know where and when they can be bought.
Thank you for your understanding and hope to see you soon!

you used to be able to get fancy soviet surplus winter coats and uniform pieces for cheap but then etsy banned all russian and belarusian accounts. the surviving ukranian ones are three times as expensive and you cant track them because the postal system is all hosed up

the russian guy i got some boots from gave me a tiny picture of his cat and 10 kopecs to apologize for a three day delay in actually sending it out and i think my current ukranian coat in-transit is going to come with a severed human finger or something after disappearing in kiev for a month

There is a particular brand of "modern" rifle of the last 20 years that looked weird and oddly old almost the second they showed up: G36, FS2000, etc.

the fs2000 is sick as hell and more guns should be that bulbous and weird looking imo

it and the groza should have been the warfighter aesthetic of the 21st century rather than another hundred years of ars and aks

i really like imf recommendations, because the simultaneous directions of "increase your tax revenues" and "privatize all your state run companies" is right out of a vaudeville routine

you really need to strengthen the private sector, ukraine. you can do this by ending state subsidies of small business in the middle of a war to increase the health of the economy.

dont follow this chain of reasoning. verdun makes some sense, how is it like przemysl at all?

as the focal point of a theoretical offensive into hungary proper, przemysl involved the austro-hungarians feeding pretty much the entire KuK into a series of offensives attempting to break the siege, and every one of them ended in disaster. the entire peacetime AH army was disassembled on the walls of the fort and battles around it. it was both the death of major AH offensives in that section of the theater for the rest of the war and the reason the dual monarchy had to rely the older and older conscripts to bulk out remaining formations while bleeding the heartlands white. each successive wave of conscription led to things like the genocidal reprisals against serbs in the southern front and all the awful poo poo they were doing to slavs in general behind the front lines as morale and cohesion grated under repeated defeats and a complete gutting of the officer corps.

whether it will end up like verdun (entire army mutinies to protest the horrific conditions everyone was suffering) or przemysl (any man under the age of 40 is no longer alive in the ukraine) or some more mundane defeat like the battle of the frontiers is yet to be determined

lol I mean, the subtext of Ukrainian refusal IMO is that they officially moved the date of Christmas this year and all of the other looney tunes stuff they are doing to avenge Franz Ferdinand and/or Bandera. The truce was offered in observance of the date used by the Church they are persecuting increasingly in the open.
