The question is how much of this is this Russia trying to create a distraction?

Ukrainian backed forces continue attacks inside Russia on border towns. This appears to be assymetrical warfare designed to stretch RU forces and force them to relocate away from the various front lines. And it is a huge embarrassment to putin who now can't even protect his own borders.

The "special military operation" comes home to Russia's elite. Let them see what it's like to hear air raid sirens and experience fear. I hope this continues.

A lot has changed in Germany in the past 15 months. They have now become one of the largest contributors of support to Ukraine, after initially dragging their feet. They are the ones who supplied the Patriot missile units. Russia has had a lot of influence on Germany and there is a lot of...

The hot sun in the desert is a different animal, especially if your head is getting the desert sun.

That's a fun tram ride. Crazy to be 65 & windy & it be 95+ over in SLC. Yea, you have to know how much water to bring.

The wind helps. I can ride when it's 90 & breezy....with a wife beater & shorts, it's comfortable with low humitidy.

You can bet there are plenty of foreign nationals who think the US is full of corruption. The sword cuts both ways. :oops: One of the griefs of war is that it is full of imperfection decisions that leaders have to make. The lesser of 2 evils will never be a good decision for anyone to make...

Ok, so I live in the Phoenix area and do lots of hiking. The heat is a major issue once the weather gets hot. In the winter, temps are not an issue unless you're hiking in higher elevations (possible cold). Every year, people die hiking due to heat. The Grand Canyon as well. Just this...

We cannot discuss the current war without the context of the Soviet Union, WWII & and the Cold War. Putin is an old school Soviet commie. Those areas of Europe, including Ukraine, Poland & Finland all have lots of blood on their soil thanks to the Russians. And there is no doubt in my mind...

Brings back lots of memories. I spent many hours in the dry docks at the Charleston Naval Shipyard. This was our world (below). This is a floating dry dock on H pier at the old Charleston Navy base. The Batfish was stationed in CHS. She has fresh paint and ready to go.

They died for absolutely nothing.

And they're not just going to go home and play nice.

If we don't help stop them now, we'll eventually be at war with them through NATO. They are capable of huge amounts of dirty sh_t. There is a reason Sweden & Finland are now joining NATO.

I don't see it. Russia seems destined to repeat their past.

It's a Ukrainian thing....using a 1x6 to detonate land mines. Make sure you turn the sound on.

Resolving some of their energy issues has made it easier for Germany to stand up to RU. RU no longer has Europe by the privates & is making lots of enemies.

We want this guy. Put him on the field with Harbor.

Sources imply some kind of UAF/ZSU offensive actions happening in multiple areas. Stay tuned, things are going to get interesting.
