I think it will be shorter than your projection. What additional forces can they garner and utilize in anything other than the current frontal assaults being conducted? Lots of open source reporting of shell shortages and talk of the shells they are getting (with 2022 manufacture dates) as being complete garbage. Time is not in their favor on buying weapons. They don't appear to have adapted in the slightest. Those who are still around don't appear to have made any progress changing their tactics from the initial invasion and gradual loss of territory on their retreat east. Also, whats going on with Putin? Lots of videos and pictures supporting some type of illness or the results of an illness. Does the war end if he falls out a window or just dies? Ukraine has to make it through the winter civilian populace wise but I don't see anything major happening on that front. What does the Ukraine force strength look like though? I have no idea. I think their support from us and EU countries will only grow due to UKR seeming to be on the right path. I'm basing all of this off of open source intel and guesses. Could be way off but who knows.

Where were all these people complaining about Ukrainian aid when we spent 20+ years of blood and treasure fighting the boogey man with no strategy or will to "win"? We're now destroying what we thought was a peer enemy without any commitment of American blood....yet.

Local utility here won't allow panels on roof AND be on the city grid. We sell back enough that our total power bill the entire year is about $100 and that is only due to the monthly connection fee.

30,000 unsorted bags sitting on open air tarmac due to no more storage space inside 🙂

Lots of "pivoting"

Must have been a bunch of SWA pilots as his accomplices 🙂 https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/flight-cancellations-christmas-2022-winter-storm/index.html

"They indicate not only was the aircraft within weight limits for triple-tandem landing gear, but that the flight was coordinated five days in advance. The airport reported taxiway damage to the unit and not runway damage. The image you have shown is a light off the edge of the runway to taxiway on Taxiway A. The 310k lbs listed is for dual-tandem landing gear and not the higher weight capable triple-tandem."

Crazy, media got it wrong I think. Read a correction somewhere and can't find it now. The type of gear setup on a C17 puts it well within the weight limits for the field apparently. Also, AF is claiming they DID have a PPR. Who knows. This is a towered field though and the aircraft landed during manned hours.

Hah, brilliant

Facts. There isn't another issues that will even come close to the money and lives lost due to obesity. It'll affect everything and everyone.

I don't think they are rumors 🙂

I laughed because I'm wondering what "establishment" he got rid of? It seems like he just brought his own version of people doing the same things under his admin. I was all for him and the potential shakeup/change he was going to bring.

He's cashing in. He'll milk his followers until they are broke.

1.5 swings. great seat. dude rode that thing for a while. I guess punching out at 45 degrees is probably not optimum.

A proper surgical mask of the type given out at entrances to VA hospitals aren't "useless" in the right situations such as at hospitals where fellow humans go with weakened immune systems. Again, the mask isn't to protect the wearer, its to lessen the transmission possibilities. My useless comment was out in the general public going about everyday life where you still see people wearing simple cloth masks or bandanas.

We're years into this thing and people still don't understand why the medical/govt/and everyone else want you to wear a mask. It's not for your protection. It's to REDUCE transmission of the virus. I hate wearing the thing and think it's pretty pointless at this stage. I've made a few trips to the VA hospital lately and have no issue wearing it inside there.

Thats what the hose up the ass is for.

Trapani deployment was a trip for us. On the hook for certain stuff on the continent but a minimum of 6+ hours away IF everything logistics wise works. CV will win out if it can show up in most situtations now days.

There isn't anything out there that's "better". Its all shot placement. Could have been one round to take one down or the hundreds to skin (aircraft) and non critical components. CV was the only thing that would have accomplished the objectives as the mission required though.

Point me to something that is a better option? Better would have to be able to suck up the amount of rounds they took, land, load up, and then fly away again.

18 and 19 year old kids with more than likely some very shady influences will make things very interesting now that everything is supposedly out in the open.

Did they put GPS lockout zones on them or something?

According to Russian sources the drone which hit Dyagilevo airbase was a Tupolev Tu-141 Strizh, a Soviet-made recon drone from the 1970s and 1980s. Hilarious if true. Maybe Russia doesn't want to admit UKR has something new....

where is this footage? I think this would make mainstream news at a minimum. Found it on eurasiantimes.com. The comments pretty much cover it, could have been anything and nothing.
