Whatever happened to that Russian band that sang about mustaches? Are they safe? Both in the alive sense and in the are they still okay to listen to sense? Cause I really like that mustache song.

They do good work.

Why the gently caress does the Massachusetts Air National Guard need to have a full intelligence brief on every aspect of the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Apparently the entire US military just uses Windows public folders with names like "Top Secret CIA Documents Do Not Look"

Dunno why NATO doesn't just turn to Canada and let them sort out everything now and forever more.

Because it turns out that "budgets balance themselves" may not be a good long term strategy.

I laughed at him saying that Russia never had easy times. What does it do to a national psyche to never have a golden age to look back on, even just an imagined golden age?

Russia is depressing.

Richard Ayoade (IT Crowd, Darkplace) used to have a travel show where he and other British comedians would go to various capital cities and just wander around looking at the sights and culture.

The episode on Moscow was by far the dreariest of the series.

More of a salvage yard. Those T-62s are parked in fairly neat lines, tampions fitted on the end of the barrels, hatches closed, and turrets facing the same direction (presumably to allow easy access to maintenance hatches and to save space).

The T-62 was produced in huge numbers and used for a very long time. At a certain point new production of parts wasn't needed because so many of them already existed. Rotate older tanks to storage yards, sort them by variant, and start stripping components to keep newer tanks running. This can be done on an as-needed basis or as part of an ongoing program.

Take radiators and coolers. They are relatively fragile and placed close to the outside of the compartment for airflow reasons. While not exactly a wear item, the radiator is prone to damage and will eventually get clogged up and need replacement and/or refurbishment. Depending on the design they can be rebuilt with new cores and end tanks, further extending their lifetime. It makes sense to recycle them back into service.

I prefer to believe that the two men in the picture are just going to build a fort.

So up at my cottage in rural Canada. It is right on the highway between CFB Petawawa and CFB Trenton where our big airbase is. Been seeing a lot of military hardware, especially vehicles been going towards Trenton from Petawawa. Wonder where it's going

Probably wildfire stuff.

look, actually caring about the money when theres a fuckin war on is an anglo and maybe dutch affectation. even other western euros didnt do it. they invented both specie and fiat money to do war better, dont flip the relation. they'll just beggar the entire society. fuckin w the money hasnt moved putin an inch for a quarter century, why would it work now

Wasn't one of the reasons for America getting involved in WWI was the realization that "oh poo poo, the British have borrowed so much loving money from us to fight this war, we better help them win so they can live to pay us back"?

A war of extermination means everyone is called to defend their home and that means women too. Ukraine understands this and the Ukrainian military is supplying equipment to reflect that

But is that body armor anti Al Franken grade?
