Things are heating up in the Donbass

[holdover]

Of course totally different mindset, I mean the Ukrainians use a camera instead of a human. Just pointing out that this not a new naval tactic. Sinking enemy vessels with another on a one way mission has been around since man started fighting on the high sea. Fireship's, spar torpedoes, manned torpedoes are just some examples and tactics to defeat such threats have been around for a long time. It's just amazing that it has happened so many times to the russians recently. You could probably time travel a frigate captain from the Nelson era to a modern russian ship and he may not be able to understand all the modern stuff but he definitely would have defended the ship from a small boat attack

The tactic may not be new, but the weapon system is, the range speed and guidance is something they probably never expected . And again they are focused on a land war , probably never anticipated a naval battle with Ukraine. Since they dont have much Navy . They got caught with their pants down . Hard learned lessons for sure.

Hopefully the same headline will be written about Putin after he dies, even though he was an amateur compared to that asshole Stalin.

Happy Death Day, You Miserable Son of a Bitch

Josef Stalin died on this day in 1953. In his sleep; so, like Lenin, Mao and Castro, and unlike Hitler, Mussolini and Ceausescu, he never paid a price for his crimes. The Victims of Communism remem…

Rot in hell you miserable SOB.

Stalin was absolutely evil.

Hitler v Stalin was an all time epic of evil. It's amazing that so many powerful evil people all had their positions in the world at the same time in the 30s and 40s

The situation in Ukraine is now becoming critical , The west now realizes Ukraine is lost if they cant stop the Russians ,They either lose all of the Ukraine or just half its up to them That 60 billion in aid the US is withholding isnt going to do it. The west is going to have to get a peace agreement on any terms if they want to salvage Ukraine. That probably means getting rid of Zelensky. I thought march was going to be the time they did , but maybe not.


Sooner or later, zelensky will be probably taken out by a lucky ""Russian"" tomahawk missile Or information may be leaked to the Russians behind the scenes . A new leader will take his place that is willing to make a deal,( "" A traitor"") and the US and NATO can save face and avoid a third world war .I think we are going to hear a lot more about peace talks this spring.

Anyway, thats how I see it , I think we will all be OK . I think we have a lot more to worry about here in our country

Uh Oh,whats this!!

Volodymyr Zelensky was targeted by a Russian missile strike during a visit to Odesa in what appears to have been an attempt to assassinate the Ukrainian President.

Mr Zelensky's motorcade, which was 150 metres from that of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, was attacked by what is believed to have been a ballistic missile at 11.43am, according to local media.

He's a murderer. Just because he's killed fewer people than stalin doesn't make him a "moderate".

It's possible to be against the war but still recognize what an asshole putin is. Don't make him out to be a hero.

other navys like china are certainly paying attention for the next great war they are getting free lessons on someone else's dime.

Including us.

We should be paying the Houthis for the free training they are giving us...

As I understand it we are rotating crews into the area for the training opportunities LOL.

100 years ago he would have been quite reasonable.

But wars of aggression are as much out of style as Charlie Chaplin's mustache, and you can blame the same guy for killing both.

I mean, nobody wears this mustache anymore without everyone thinking they're assholes,

And nobody fights wars of conquest anymore without the entire international community coming out against it.

And it's all thanks to the same little Austrian douchebag ruining the image.

The history will record Victoria Nuland as U.S. official in charge of the policy that took hundreds of thousands of lives and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war or worse.
Although there are other examples of U.S. officials screwing up the world in a big way, hers is well illustrated and exposed.

Someone should point out to Kerry that they have reduce emissions long term.

Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a million people worth.

Isn't that what he's talking about?

I keep seeing shit on MSN and YouTube ads about what if "nukes hit the US" and "nukes hit all over"... and "what to do if nukes start falling"... and "what will nukes do to the weather"... this shit ain't just made up on whim. Folks know what is going to happen here in the next year or two.

buy one and hide under it ..

I went to school about 2 miles from Griffiss AFB during the "60's" ain't no desk in the world that would have saved me.

I think this hiding under a desk was for propaganda purposes, they knew it was pointless.
Soviet kids didn't have to go through that, but they did gas mask drills in the classroom.

If you're not very close to ground zero, then your primary danger is flying debris.

Hiding under the desk is a very effective way to protect yourself when the glass in the windows is shattered and blown into the room at high speed.

It's also very useful if your flimsy single story schoolhouse partially collapses from the Shockwave.

Nuclear weapons do not work the way they do in Hollywood, and the vast majority of people aren't going to be so close to the blast that it isn't survivable.

Especially those in rural communities.
