Pranksters tell Kremlin official’s som he is being enlisted.
https://www.businessinsider.com/pranksters-tell-kremlin-officials-son-hes-being-enlisted-he-refused-2022-9 The hosts of the Russian YouTube channel Popular Politics called the 32-year-old son of Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday. The pranksters, who pretended to be recruitment officers, told the 32-year-old Nikolay Peskov that he has been drafted into the army and needed to attend a medical examination the following day. "Obviously not!" the younger Peskov told the pranksters, according to a video shared by independent Russian news website The Insider. "You must understand it is not right for me to be there. I have to resolve this on a different level." |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sq40: I really hope no nuke will ever be set off in anger again. But, knowing the way the world works, it’s just a matter of time until it happens. I *think* the world would be so shook up over even a tactical nuclear weapon use, it would rapidly cascade into a decision tree of making preemptive strikes to remove Russia’s nuclear capabilities all together. The fear is just too great, and so many people will demand the threat be eliminated, that it will snowball. Perhaps in minutes or hours. This particular situation is all possible because of one man’s ego. He is a deceiver, a conqueror, and possibly the wealthiest man alive. He has a whole church of which he controls, and nearly 200 million people under his control. He is on the cusp of being the Antichrist. I actually dreamt that a couple nights ago. Trumpets and fire in the sky, revelations shit. The stuff nightmares… |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dracster: "Turkey advocates the abolition of Russia's right of veto in the UN Security Council Turkish Foreign Minister Mevl t avu o lu stressed that his country is in favor of replacing the right of veto to decision-making by majority vote. Recall that thanks to this right, Russia, which is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, blocks any decisions aimed at counteracting its own crimes." (The middle sentence makes it sound like all permanent member vetoes, not just Russia's.) I'm for this, it would have saved us from iraq |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CPT_CAVEMAN: And it's coming to a country near you. Can already see them starting the beat down I agree. The craziness that led to Russian dysfunctional culture is in human nature everywhere. Russians dont lack a chromosome or function with sub 80 IQ. They simply tried communism. Hard. America, at least until recently, has been a freak anomaly of selfless individualism. But the normal status quo of human existence is closer to Russia then to the USA. And we are trying to kill ourselves. |

I saw the alphabet and I was gone. Totally unrelated...a section of a fence we share with our neighbor fell and I went over to ask if they want to spilt the cost of a new fence...they are Ukrainians and have a family there from Ukraine (grandmother, mom, and a young boy). I almost hugged them and tried my only Ukrainian "Slava Ukraini" (well also cuka but the time was not right). They seemed very nice but nervous. Spoke no English. Anyway I havnt seen them since and they probably thought I was KGB or something. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R0N: They are treated just like other armored vehicles, the preferred means to move them is via transport to as close to where they will be used to prevent wear and tear. The big reason the USMC got rid of SPs in the late 80s was the mobility portion of the system is the most maintenance intense portion of the system, and guns were generally down because they could not be driven. But with towed weapons, if the prime mover goes down, you don’t lose the system, you just replace the prime mover and drive on. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R0N: Originally Posted By Bama_Rebel: Originally Posted By Featureless: Originally Posted By Glock63: Originally Posted By AROKIE: not really, when used in firebases like we did in afghanistan that covered an AO, towed artillery worked perfect. But if you are moving frontlines and shooting and moving then mobile artillery is King. An army needs both to be effective A self propelled howitzer can sit at a firebase just as well as a towed piece if the need arises. I guess lighter towed guns might be needed in the inventory in case they need to be airlifted to remote locations. Towed gear can be towed by a wide range of tow vehicles. Self propelled is harder and heavier to move if the propulsion gear fails or is damaged. do they transport the sph to the front on a truck and trailer or do they drive it? Seems like a gas hog either way They are treated just like other armored vehicles, the preferred means to move them is via transport to as close to where they will be used to prevent wear and tear.

But with towed weapons, if the prime mover goes down, you don’t lose the system, you just replace the prime mover and drive on. That's kinda what I was thinking. Sorta like a camper vs an RV. What was the pro argument for the sph, further firing range?. Seems like the self propelled might be more accurate as well due to not jumping around when fired |

Of course, but the point is that it could give Putin an out. "Oh you don't want to be part of Russia? Ok, we killed all the Nazis so we'll go home now" Of course he won't, but it's a hypothetical "out"...one he won't take. |
