All the defense contractors know the wider they spread out the supply chain and the more states/congressional districts that spread them to, the more they ensure both congressional buy in to the program, but more important it helps shield them from congressional mandated cuts. About every programmatic brief contrains a slide of who would be impacted if the program is cut. Those are pasted around when iit comes time to do the defense appropriation bills |

The driver probably bought it with the first one. Based on the ground video at the end, I bet they didn't even know where the Ukrainians were. It does jive with a few reports telling how the russkies set up on the front of treelines in plain view instead of back in concealment. |

I think Putin ordered the attacks on the pipeline.
He’s like a toddler when their parent takes away a toy as punishment. The toddler smashes the toy saying “I didn’t want the toy anyway!”. That’s why I believe people are asking the wrong questions “who stands to financially benefit from the damaged pipelines?” It’s not about money, it’s about Putin being a petty little baby. Putin is trying to show that he’s in control. Germany saying that it will not buy Russian gas, that put Germany in control of the situation. Russia emanating the pipeline says “WE are the ones that say you can’t have gas, NOT you”. Just saying that wouldn’t mean anything. How else will Russia prove that they will not turn the gas back on? The only way to prove that, is to damage the pipeline. Putin also is showing that he’s cutting ties with the EU for the long term. He’s willing to hurt the Russian economy as long as it also hurts the EU economy, it doesn’t matter if it hurts Russia more than the EU. As a bonus he gets to use it as propaganda “the whole world is against Russia, woe is me!”. The Russian public gets riled up. Putin can use it as justification for attacking infrastructure. It also creates additional chaos and uncertainty in the energy markets. And Russian people are going to fall for it, because “why would Putin blow up their own pipeline when they control whether the gas is on or off?” They don’t comprehend what a petty narcissist Putin is. |

Some Russian tech that will not break down: “Backpacks”
They may have to hit up mom and the GF for their sanitary products to fill their first aid kits, but they WILL get a fresh Model 1869 “Sidor” from the Tsar’s army. So in lieu of anything resembling legit field gear, the recruits get a hobo bag. Just need to issue them some sticks to tie it to.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: Any additional reporting on this? This would be absolutely huge news. This would basically be Russia admitting they don't think they could hold the annexed regions as well as admitting they aren't willing to go all out to defend them. I hope this turns out to be true but I'm just not sure that Putin, even Russia's psyche could handle making such a 180 after hanging banners and planning a big, formal celebration for tomorrow.

Me too, but if I find more info, i will post it here. ISW might have info tonight about that info to prove or disprove it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By anonimovaca: I think Putin ordered the attacks on the pipeline. He’s like a toddler when their parent takes away a toy as punishment. The toddler smashes the toy saying “I didn’t want the toy anyway!”. That’s why I believe people are asking the wrong questions “who stands to financially benefit from the damaged pipelines?” It’s not about money, it’s about Putin being a petty little baby. Putin is trying to show that he’s in control. Germany saying that it will not buy Russian gas, that put Germany in control of the situation. Russia emanating the pipeline says “WE are the ones that say you can’t have gas, NOT you”. Just saying that wouldn’t mean anything. How else will Russia prove that they will not turn the gas back on? The only way to prove that, is to damage the pipeline. Putin also is showing that he’s cutting ties with the EU for the long term. He’s willing to hurt the Russian economy as long as it also hurts the EU economy, it doesn’t matter if it hurts Russia more than the EU. As a bonus he gets to use it as propaganda “the whole world is against Russia, woe is me!”. The Russian public gets riled up. Putin can use it as justification for attacking infrastructure. It also creates additional chaos and uncertainty in the energy markets. And Russian people are going to fall for it, because “why would Putin blow up their own pipeline when they control whether the gas is on or off?” They don’t comprehend what a petty narcissist Putin is. Good post. Only critique I have is: "the whole world is against Russia, woe is me" I think Putin has quite a bit of paranoia so he believes the world isn't against Russia but, against Putin. |

Waiting on some pics to get sent to me that I will add The bus stop/market is a hole in the ground behind it all. The neighborhood is fucked with a hole in the ground where there used to be a house. This shit makes me sick to my stomach to see.
"Russian forces carried out a missile strike on the city of Dnipro on the night of 28–29 September, killing at least three and injuring five civilians". They are still digging for survivors/bodies. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/09/29/7369561/index.amp Still waiting on better pics. That's a neighborhood, not a rock quarry. Fuck!   Attached File. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jungatheart: pic.twitter.com/9HY8Xjk2xT That's what I thought too. How the fuck could they have missed a slow moving target like that? Looks like they cut out... it's possible the driver was dead from a previous hit (or bailed while it was moving) and then it took a hit that stopped it, and we are seeing the hit that finished it. It's not moving when it dies, but we don't see it stop... look at :18 in the video. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RolandofGilead: Funny conscription story from a small town. My wife has a close friend who's cousin is 38 or so, and a real big guy. Police came to serve papers, and he fought them- beat them so badly they had to call more (keep in mind most cops are not walking around with riot gear and such). These guys finally subdued him and put him on a bus, he yelled out the door that he would survive the war and come back and kill them all. Well, the "recruiting" office found him unfit for duty, so he went back to his town and burned down the small police station  I don't know if all the details are true here, but I want to believe and it's a good story anyway lol. What an absolute madman. I love it! Even if not true haha. |
