War

Yep, they gave them enough time to go all in, thinking they could win while being steadily worn away, while Vlad is so committed to Ukraine he has trouble holding on elsewhere and if he suffers a sudden catastrophic defeat, it will be the end of his regime. The vast Soviet hoard of arms and ammo is almost depleted and the future threat to Europe and Ukraine largely eliminated. When we are done with the Russians, they won't be a threat to anybody, and Joe will want a decisive victory before the election of 24. Besides China is watching, a Russian ass whipping, and Vlad's downfall will make them think twice about moving on Tiawan or starting shit in general. Just fucking Wagner was a major victory for the west and their African operations will go downhill from here on out.

Looks like he is setting the burst height in feet above the target for anti-personnel munitions?

it’s rental munitions. The sealed odometer allows charges to be calculated per mile.

There’s a pun in here about being sure to return it with a full tank

Russia has been taking more control of their war bloggers on telegram and they had better fall in line or be sent to the front.

He has had a biased accounting of the war.

Russia does not have an endless supply of shit and they are burning through it, mobiks too, if the casualty numbers are to be believed, with a BTG's worth a day for a long time now.

He was posted as an example of how Vlad has taken control of more independent Russian war bloggers. The disaster continues to unfold on telegram though, but at a reduced volume. There was a story about the effort a while back and it's part of the Wagner crackdown and destruction, seems it's bad for morale and Vlad.

The Germans appear to be all in now that they weaned themselves off of Russian energy, they are rebuilding their armed forces too. With Germany the US, UK and Poland at its back, Ukraine shouldn't have a problem with an attritional war, many of the 50 plus allies have economies larger than Russia's.

The armor and equipment continue to pour in and not just from America, maga republicans make it seem like America is carrying Ukraine on its back alone and never mention the allied contributions. Ukraine is an issue that divides the republican party more evenly than most and it makes it possible for some republicans to publicly support Ukraine while remaining silent about Trump's crimes but breaking with him on Ukraine/Russian policy. Trump and maga support Russia in this war and would stab allies in the back if they won and force republican Ukraine supporters to as well. They are under Trump's control and Trump is under Putin's control and they are even now getting help with Russian propaganda and foxnews mirroring it.

Soon sheets of toilet paper will be worth more than a ruble. There are 124 sheets to a roll of 2 ply.


Putin doubles military spending as Ruble plummets

I still cannot imagine determining that number without a metric shitload of good weed being involved. The mental image of you counting the sheets while squint-eyed and getting the red horseshoe from sitting too long on the throne … and the massive neural tsunami when you realize just how far asleep your legs went ~

It says so right on the package 12 rolls 124 sheets per roll, the calculation depends on how much ya spend on a roll of toilet paper. If you spend a dollar a roll, then you are in ruble territory or soon will be, it sounds absurd, but it is what it is.

Mine has no such information … only how many metric cubits per roll

Lav Lab would be required.

I don't know what north americans wipe their asses with but a ruble couldn't buy me enough of that satin fluffy 4 layer stuff 5 years ago either. I spent millions once in Italy, walked around with almost a million in cash. Lira though, no euro yet. What 1 ruble is worth means absolutely nothing... well, aside from longer price tags. Only reason 'plummeting' fits is because it increased a lot in 2022 because of the surging oil and gas rates. If the USD or euro drops 10% in relation to each other over 6 years no one speaks of plummeting.

I think the idea is that from here on out things in the Russian economy might deteriorate quickly, Vlad just doubled the official military budget and sanctions are biting harder than ever. He is probably gonna draft another quarter million men before year's end and it will exacerbate the worker shortage and economic woes. If Rubles weren't so hard on the ass, they might be useful for toilet paper one day and must be starting to cost more than it is worth minting a one ruble note or coin.

for a year in ‘20-‘21, “whatever we could”. It was the Great Bogroll Famine. A hundred million Yanks learned about leaves. (Not in the Mojave. Everything that comes out of the adobe here has spikes, thorns andor barbs, and what doesn’t will make the tender torus erupt in itchy boils.)

The allies spent a bit of cash and supplied a lot of arms too and are helping in countless other ways, all are enthusiastic and believe the cause just. America is far from alone on this one, not much arm twisting required, once some realized Russia could be defeated and the long-term threat eliminated.

Strictly business, no time for bullshit.

Ventimiglia 1977. I remember buying a middling bottle of liquor for seventeen thousand lire.
