    On the plus side, we could just send in Marg Helgenberger to distract them.

    Ukraine gets revenge against a guy who committed war crimes against them in 2014. Seems there are mixed reports as to HOW he died, but good fucking riddance either way:

    The Ukrainian report would be the best option:

    Putin gave him the Hero of Russia medal for that, in case you were still in any doubt that Russia commits war crimes.

    Fascinating report/thread:

    https://twitter.com/shashj/status/1641110351646261248

    This part really jumped out at me:

    "fact that layout of these facilities is consistent throughout the country & the equipment used in torture chambers incl specialised electrocution machines were same across multiple oblasts demonstrates this was a systematic plan & not improvised sadism."

    Hmmm. Wonder what got into Erdogan? This is a fairly overt shift in his attitude towards Russia.

    If you follow the thread, you'll find out that these guys are basically riding in a lawn tractor wagon that's being pulled by a small garden tiller. Now, I don't know how high up the drone was when it dropped the grenade on those guys but it was pretty high up. And they came agonizingly close to hitting a moving target dead center from, at least several hundred feet up. That's some fancy shooting, if you ask me.

    Those are BITCH to shoot. We had to shoot one in basic training. Spent the entire day teaching us how to stand and how to hold the thing and how to ... do. If the girl in your pic is actually shooting a grenade launcher, she definitely hurt herself very badly. probably bruised for days if not a broken bone somewhere.

    One interesting take away - they know the identity of the individual who posted it to Discord. That guy's fucked. That may or may not be someone who accessed the files originally and downloaded them to the internet.

    So NATO forces that include Americans have been on the ground in Ukraine. But we were told that wasn't happening.
