They just have to deal with Mr Colby in the Pentagon who has idiotic notions and keeps trying to halt the flow of weapons.

The cheese seems only intermittently successful at stopping some weapons until Macron/Merz/Meloni etc call Trump and they start coming again. So far the shipments that consist of munitions specifically ordered by the Euros for Ukraine have not seen significant disruption. Also lol at his pivot to China while the DOD is firing hard to replace munitions all over the globe for various unrelated reasons and he isn't talking about that.

Long but exquisitely detailed article about Russian Military Sloppiness. Well worth reading if you have the time and attention span.

Err, looked like a semi auto 12 gauge to me, probably #6 shot? Something like that. Nothing new there, but I do know there are rifle loads out there now meant for drones. AFU has segmented projectiles that give you a workable pattern despite the barrel twist. Russians were hand loading their own for awhile, using pellets stacked in a sleeve then inserted in 5.45mm brass (which screams feed failure to me) and I'll bet it's less accurate than the Ukrainian flavor.

I didn't realize the damage to the Chernobyl New Safe Containment shelter was that extensive because of the fire. Russia not only left behind a permanent nuclear disaster in Ukraine they also managed to sabotage attempts to clean it up.

I assume he's trying to buy Tomahawks again. He's been after them for a while. The very cranky response out of Moscow would seem to substantiate this. The TERCOM/DSMAC navigation aboard would circumvent Russian GPS jamming make the strike much harder to intercept.

I can't watch it. Are there any other links? I have a blue sky account.

I mean I probably would want the same after the six years (and counting) he's had.

-This is the center-right "liberals" everywhere. So concerned with their precious status quo that they won't even fight to save it.

Ukraine just went after Russia’s digital payment infrastructure via a cyberattack.
mezha.net
Not sure of what the actual scale of this is or how many are affected—but given the Russian economy is already operating under some severe capital constraints—this should be seen as a major escalation and I’d expect Putin to counter aggressively.
The one thing Putin’s kleptocracy cannot afford is a mass panic in the streets or a run on the banks.
The cyber capabilities have been there for sometime, but Zelenskyy has shown much restraint. He must be pretty confident in Trump’s full support (as Truthed yesterday) to launch these attacks along with attacking the ports) and weather the expected counterattacks.
Ukrainian Cyberattack Disrupts Russia’s National Payment System “SBP” | Ukraine news - #Mezha
Ukrainian cyber specialists launched a major DDoS attack on Russia's national payment system "SBP," disrupting online payments and causing significant economic damage.

If someone was hired to work there... and light a match.
Would we even know?
Difficult to "game on" unless the cause is determined to be Russia.

Ukraine has created both a fuel shortage and fuel hoarding as a result of the shortage in Russia.
Banking sector should by rights be next.

Certainly but it will take a while. Getting their hands on some TLAMs would be a lot faster.
