Apparently people were jumping into the ocean to escape the flames. Looks like a crazy situation that is still developing. :oops:

Another one...34 yr old female.
Hard to say how hot it was when she went down, but likely 95-100 degrees.

I love Joe, but the Eagles were the best country-rock band anywhere before "Hotel California" (I hated that album!)
And I missed the old Joe Walsh from solo + James Gang days ("Rocky Mtn Way" - "Funk #49", etc)
Regardless, it was a great career move for Joe and he's made a lot more $$ in the...
Not sure all those comments are true. UAF/ZSU may have acheived some parity in artillery strength. They are using lots of drones/other to strike at RA ammo + arty pieces.
The 10-1 ratio may be dated info & it's hard to encircle the RA when they retreat when pushed.
One of the problems is some of Putin's opponents would lead Russia into a WWIII. They are pissed because they want Putin to declare total war.
This is a difficult chess match.
I have read a few comments on Twitter that suggest some kind of culminating point for both sides sometime in '23.
This basically means both sides run out of the forces/material to fight offensively, which leads to a stalemate.
The Russians keep pouring forces into the fight, which the...
Yep...cause radioactive fallout to spread all over the Russians' precious Donbas region that they've claimed to be Russian from years back.
Another deliberate act of environmental terror, but much worse than blowing a major dam.
Russia cannot be trusted with any agreement. That is off the table. They have broken just about every agreement they've made, so there is no hope of any agreement.
And even if they try that trick, the Ukrainians are not going to stop fighting them until they leave. This is what the west/NATO...
That area is heavily defended with fortifications. Wagner does not have the resources for that & they know it. They only eventually took Bakhmut because they used so many inmates in their assaults. They are not cut off from that resource.
They can't. UAF/ZSU has built formidable defenses on the roads heading south. Anyone attempting to break through, will be sitting ducks for arty & precision strike rockets. It would be a slaughter.
I read an article a few weeks back about the possibility of buying destroyers from the ROK or Japan. Both build DDGs based upon our designs and can build them faster/cheaper than US shipyards.
A man and his stepson die after hiking in Big Bend National Park in 119-degree heat
Just hard to get your head around this. So sad and so preventable.
I've been to that park in late Sept and it was still too hot mid-day to be hiking...
My how the arrogant have fallen! Putin is such a smart guy. :rolleyes:
- Feb '22: Russia invades Ukraine in order to liberate Ukraine and get rid of the nazis. State propagandists called for elimination of all Ukrainians with Poland next on the list.
- June '23: Russia is setting up...
