    Look @Bill Carson pretending he doesn't support the conservative right as they try to defund ukraine and give more money to Trumpanzee contractors and Elon Musk.

    Don't worry kiddo, we see who you really like. You should wipe that cheeto dust from your lips before you sit down.

    Begun, the drone wars have.
    Interestingly enough, the first air-to-air kill happened in Ukraine.

    Has to be severe hypothermia. They are of course brutal raping bastards but to be so fucking cold you don’t even care about grenades dropping on you, you just want to sleep and not be conscious.

    I can’t even imagine.

    Posted elsewhere on Twitter:

    In WWII soviet troops survived winter, because most of their winter gear came via Lend-Lease from the #UK and #US.
    By November 1944 the soviets had received:
    • 11 million pairs of boots
    • 50 million yards of woolen fabric
    • 97 million yards of cotton fabric

    putin forgot that.

    Putin loves the "Russia won World War II" narrative. Sounds like he's been getting high on his own supply.

    Took a quick look, the FH-70 isn't Italian, it's actually a NATO weapon system of joint manufacture. It's pretty dated, the 70 is the year of service. However, considering the equipment that the Russians are fielding it's probably fine. One plus is it can use a variety of different manufactured ammunition from different NATO countries as part of the design specs. Ukraine will make use of them.

    Well, the war damages are reaching up to $1 trillion.

    They should take every single thing of Russian manufacture they can get their hands on. Even if they just sell it for scrap.
