Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: If this massive Russian buildup in the khakiv region is true, it's bad news for Ukraine and Biden is a fucking fool for not sending ATACMS. And if it goes down hill for Ukraine then the blame should lay at his feet for slow rolling meaningful help This was an easy foreign policy move: tell Russia that every civilian target hit means one ATACMS missile delivered to Ukraine without restrictions. There is plenty of opportunity for observers to be at attack sites in Ukraine to verify the absence of military value targets, and Russia has been deliberately targeting civilian targets since the beginning. Maybe if this had been done early, Biden could have saved Ukrainian civilians lives. But it's just one more failure. |

I don't know what could reach the admin honestly... they're so well protected from scrutiny, maybe a nation-state like England trumpeting the message loud and clear publicly would make an impression? This admin simply ignores things it doesn't want to deal with-and they get away with it for the most part. |

This went on for months with Easterner posting photos of the supplies bought and collected and some of the deliveries, including accessories for Predator hero’s new AR15.

Some guys continued sending money and gear to Leo/Garrison and some redirected their contributions directly to Easterner. Easterner eventually dropped out of that first unit as he thought he might slow them down. He went back to making more cami nets to send to gifts fighting. He also applied to a new unit and met Irish and a Brit whose name escapes me now. Today we learn that apparently in the background check process Leo disavowed that Easterner ever did volunteer work with him.

"Currently, the enemy is searching for weaknesses in our defense, actively conducting assault operations in the areas of the settlements of Masyutovka, Novoselivske in order to force our units beyond the barrier line of the Oskil River," Maliar said.
She noted that the Russians face two tasks: to regain lost positions and force Ukraine to transfer reserves there from other directions. "Our troops are on the defensive, putting up strong resistance. The situation is complicated. Now there are hot battles," Maliar said. https://www.ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/3736650-na-bahmutskomu-napramku-sili-oboroni-za-tizden-zvilnili-7-kvadratnih-kilometriv-malar.html Two claims from Russian sources that Russians have taken Novoselivske. https://t.me/voenkorKotenok/49254 https://t.me/dva_majors/21472 |

I held my tongue, since everything donated to him helps Ukraine even if he’s a dick. But his last move hurts Ukraine by holding Easterner back from moving forward. So, safeties off. I appreciate the info. Will act accordingly. The generosity many extended was due primarily through Easterner’s VOLUNTARY efforts to educate us and share his personal info. That builds TRUST which is important when sending funds or gear overseas. Trust is earned through time and effort. Who is Leo? @Capta When Easterner originally was volunteering aid to the troops he was helping collect needed items and then working with a younger man, Leo, and a woman they would drive a van up to a UA unit and drop off the collected supplies and gear. Then folks here wanted to help Easterner’s efforts so we started sending gear and transferring money. The money was going to Leo’s account. This went on for months with Easterner posting photos of the supplies bought and collected and some of the deliveries, including accessories for Predator hero’s new AR15. More recently when Easterner signed up to serve in a combat unit and went to training he helped Leo set up the Garrison account here (Garrison being their little team’s name). But then Leo apparently got offended by Easterner leaving to fight with a different unit and quit talking to and helping him. Some guys continued sending money and gear to Leo/Garrison and some redirected their contributions directly to Easterner. Easterner eventually dropped out of that first unit as he thought he might slow them down. He went back to making more cami nets to send to gifts fighting. He also applied to a new unit and met Irish and a Brit whose name escapes me now. Today we learn that apparently in the background check process Leo disavowed that Easterner ever did volunteer work with him. Sounds like that caused complications for Easterner and thus his message today. Easterner always has been and remains a stand up man determined to serve his new homeland. Please correct any errors I might have made, those who know. Sometimes people’s behavior just can’t be explained. |

I think the guys want and should know. Leo fucked him since he went to go fight. And has continued ghosting him and topped the icing on the prick cake very recently when he ignored requests to verify that easterner had been volunteering for the war effort….AND the guy held back on making him an OFFICIAL volunteer throughout his tenure… well, volunteering. Despite this, easterner volunteered his brains out for the cause. Easterner IS, after all, a mature adult-not akin to drama and making drama…. (And this little dweeb took advantage of his stoicism).

Hate seeing Easterner get treated like this. |

I'm sorry you got put through all this garbage, and I only wish you the best as you fight for your new homeland. We will still be here if you need anything. Survive and prevail! |

It looks to me like the belt is feeding into the gun at an angle (look at 3:13 in the vid).

I made other mistakes too. I asked someone here to share what I wanted shared. As I sit here going through background checks it seems like the right time to do a call out in this thread? I do not have time to do this right now, horrible timing.
I told my "confidant" it was going to work out without their help. Just let it go for a few days. |
