Whole ass chapters of history books are being written as we live and breathe.

This one is called "The Decline and Fall of the American Republic".

Scholars of the future will think the author is on shrooms.

Russian. Asset.

A real American, a real president wouldn't be trying to make life easier for a genocidal butcher threatening Europe. Trump's allergy to America's best interest will yet again cost more American lives, will ensure more war in Europe. This shit will embolden Xi too.

Oh to be in the timeline where this dumbfuck had a 1/3rd of his head removed at a rally. Say what you want about that dopey chucklefuck in eyeliner, at least he's not riddled with dementia and out to protect a Russian warcriminal (assuming Vance was left on the ticket)

Nice shot

Through brush too. AFU has been honed into quite the collection of sharp things, it's not just drones and drone tactics. The people who live and breathe infantry in the West have been learning a lot from these pros.

While I want to celebrate that shot... it's also a bleak reminder.

That soldier made the shot because he has to make that shot. Anything else and he'd be dead. And he has to keep making that shot for the next drone... and the next. So forth and so on. For the rest of his days in the war zone. Or he won't be coming back to celebrate making the first shot that got recorded. At this point we might even be celebrating a ghost.

Imagine being the sucker who gets handed those keys. Are the "modifications" a bottle of vodka, maybe a little note from the museum? ("We're really, really sorry. Here's a net.")

Should make for some exciting driving. With zero mine protection and AFU drones practically everywhere, my guess is this fossil lasts maybe a week. Sure looks shitty, especially when compared to AFU receiving things like Lynxes, Bohdanas, RCH-155s, AI powered drones, etc.

Yep, sucks to be Yuri.

It isn't a museum piece; it is Russia advance technology. After all we haven't seen horses on the battlefield yet.

Well it does look like it had a comprehensive rattle can overhaul where that paint job is going to do some serious duty as camouflage, ERA, UV A/B protection for the crew and looking real spiffy as it gets chased down by an AFU killer drone.

Read a report about the North Koreans and their approach to drones. They get a comrade out in front to attract the drone, and then his mates takes shots at the drone. Apparently its effective. The North Koreans have nice skills with the rifles they have. 10 years of practise is 10 years of practise.

A good thread on the state of the Russian finances.

tl:dr - They have started to print money to keep the last of their piggy bank, the National Wealth Fund, for a bit longer.

Hi folks! And now for @tochnyi.info's (slightly delayed) monthly coverage of the slow-motion crash of Russia's piggy bank, the so-called NWF. Of course, the decembers numbers were highly expected. Let's see what they reveal.

Never fear, Trump has arrived on scene to force Zelenskyy to backfill that virtual bottomless pit Putin dug for himself where Putie for nigh on years now has been busy furiously shoveling rubles and meat down that hole like it's all going to have an epic return on that investment aaaaaannnyyy day now.

Gunna be fun watching Trump trying to bluff his way into unfulfilling those oft stated Day 1 promises of his and even more fun watching his supporters kindly ignore those big fat lies he fed them that conned them into casting their votes his way. As it was back in Trump's first term, effusive use of lame ass excuses, comical denials and the flagrant use of violent threats to tamp down criticisms and factual finger pointing at Trump's acts of self-incriminations and moronic word and deed will play itself out like a broken vinyl record over and over again as history repeats itself in much more destructive, corruptive ways that's now only limited to the imaginations of those oligarch aristocrats that're playing Trump for everything their wealth can pry out of him.

Never being viewed as somebody he can impose his will on is generally the goal. Clearly he now sees Putin as one of these people. Not the same category for him as say Xi or Modi.
