Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stone-age: Those news outlets and social media are selling a produce their customers already want to buy. If they say or show something their customers don't like, those customers will leave and the company will go broke. You/we need to be looking at the Americans who already want to buy that product. That in addition to the fact that corporations have figured out what will cause the customers to continue to pay the most attention, it's usually "outrage" if I'm not mistaken. And for the people on the right it's "fear of loss" if I recall correctly. Companies continually find ways to press those emotional buttons to keep their customers attention. We are being manipulated. The manipulation is useful to powerful people. Yeah, but what if the customer is the FSB? Think about it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jack67: I agree, I don’t think it’s the referendum driving anything. They’ve kidnapped citizens forcibly to Russia and rigged the vote; no one cares. Hitting them where weakest at the end of untenable supply lines, with terrain features helpful for an encirclement, that’s the driver of this. I agree. But what if the weak knees in DC buckle and they tell Xiden to stop further permission to use HIMARS etc. in the "new parts of Russia"? |

The US has already issued a policy statement that they will never recognize any part of Ukraine annexed by Russia. That includes Crimea, which has already been annexed by Russia. Other western powers have made the same statements. |

Unfortunately our political leadership has squandered American good will thinking it was infinite its not......and america will pay rhe price not the leadership but the average joe. This is not WWII do you really think we'll see a bush or Clinton or Obama or Romney etc. child in the armed forces fighting? I'm sure thats true. And I understand that jaded people will just say "keep US out of it". But that is VERY different from the numerous anti Ukraine stuff posted. Some people hate Ukraine and they are either very evil sociopaths or completely sucked in by Russian propaganda. i.e. Tucker Carlson. I'm a huge fan and I watch him almost every night. I think he is the smartest news guy on TV. But he is totally backwards on the conflict. It's frustrating and inexplicable. |

Plus it just seems to absolutely fit with Russian 'tactics' and 'strategy' to keep packing new units into a pocket that is almost impossible to keep supplied. I wonder if this is why Ukraine hasn't blasted the pontoon bridges and ferrys yet, as long as Russia is using it to pack more men and combat vehicles across the river, Ukraine is willing to let them do it.

This was discussed a few pages ago and I have a tendency to agree that a push from Zap southward would likely be untenable at the moment and a push through Nova Kakhovka more likely if they do attempt an envelopment. Continued re-supply from Crimea would make the Russians a continued threat from both sides of the offensive for a long period of time. Not to mention, UA would have to telegraph their intentions with the level of men and material needed for a push and hold in order to attain their objective of splitting the forces; something likely even the Russians (with their poor intelligence) would be able to shift to address. Edit: though I would gladly be wrong! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MelGibsonEnthusiast: "Pipe hitters" was popularized during the surge in Iraq, to refer to SOF guys who were out doing multiple raids every night. It predates that by many decades. Originally referred to tough gang members willing to swing lengths of (lead) pipe in a brawl or gang fight, extended later to all tough SOBs who were willing to do anything necessary to make mayhem and get the job done. The crack pipe thing from the 80s did confuse some people's understanding of the term, especially depending on what region of the country they're from, and who and what activity they associate with the term. |

https://www.rferl.org/a/bulgaria-gebrev-ammunition-depot-explosion/31967824.html
Overnight Explosion Rocks Ammunition Depot In Bulgaria SOFIA -- An explosion early on July 31 blasted an ammunition depot owned by arms dealer Emilian Gebrev, Bulgarian state news agency BTA reported. The blast occurred at around 3:30 a.m. local time at the EMCO ammunition depot near the city of Karnobat in southeastern Bulgaria. No injuries were reported and the fire was quickly extinguished, BTA reported. Gebrev told BNR Radio that the warehouse stored ammunition that had been ordered by companies but not yet paid for. He said the cause of the blast had not yet been determined. In April 2021, Bulgaria expelled a Russian diplomat after the country's authorities said they suspected six Russian citizens of involvement in a series of blasts that hit four weapons and armament facilities over the previous 10 years. Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry “declared one more Russian diplomat persona non grata and requested the law-enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation to provide full assistance to the Bulgarian authorities” in their investigation into the blasts, the ministry said at the time. Bulgarian prosecutors said in April 2021 that there was a “reasonable assumption” that the blasts that rocked the four warehouses and production facilities in Bulgaria between 2011 and 2020 were connected to the near-fatal poisoning of Gebrev in 2015. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Abakan: Yeah, but what if the customer is the FSB? Think about it. In these situations there opportunities for lots of different groups to do different things for different reasons. And I think russians focus on fanning the flames of problems that they find already existing. I call it "helping saplings". I planted a bunch of oak trees where I wanted them to grow. Some of them did ok, others didn't. I stopped planting oak trees. What I do now is find oak tree saplings that are already growing where it wants to grow, and I help it to grow by removing obstacles and nurturing it until it no longer needs my help and will continue to grow on it's own after it is past the fragile phase. I find it cheaper and more effective. I think that is what communists focus their efforts on instead of planting trees. They find problems we already have and try to make them worse. They tell people on the left they are getting a raw deal and should be against the rest of the population that is oppressing them. They tell people on the right that the country is throwing away family values and is corrupt. They nurture these divisions where they find them and sometimes are very involved. I read a memo from the american communist party that was very involved in virginia elections where they had an opportunity to turn the election. They gave the democrats and democrat socialists tactics on who to talk to and what to say to them in order to turn the election from republican to democrat. They went door to door in areas of high density of minorities and talked to them. They helped that sapling grow. It's what they do. It works. |

I think it's fair to say the phrase means one thing in one culture and means something completely different in another culture. Probably cause a lot of confusion where those cultures overlap. In the realm of combat, a pipe hitter is a bad-ass whether it be a gang member who has gone to war with other gangs or military personnel who have killed others in war. A pipe hitter runs towards the drums of war, not away from them. |
