They have quite a bit in common with the kids protesting Israel on college campuses.

They honestly believe America would just keep on plugging along if we did nothing for those outside our borders.

Just like the kids who denounce all war, they too live in a fantasy world where everything is black and white.

"Now a new term has been invented to describe Hungary's position in NATO, it is called "non-participation". We are not currently a member  There is no question of NATO participating in wars outside its territory, with countries that are not members of NATO," Orbán said.

🤷‍♂️ Also, Orban once again stated that Moscow will not attack the West, because it is "a hundred times, maybe a thousand times stronger", but the policies of the EU and the USA will lead to Europe's participation in the war.

🇷🇸 President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić supported Orban and believes that the military machine "started to warm up" and there is no turning back.

1) Do you have access to any camera feeds at Ukrainian recruiting offices or access to their numbers?  No?
2) In case you missed it, Ukraine has been at war for two years, a lot of men are already in the army, and this has been happening for two years.  I think the novelty of Russians murdering civilians has kinda worn off.  This is what they’re dealing with.

Yeah, actually they are. The new law went into effect. More men have signed up, and some are even coming to our unit. We will have some of the first Ukrainians serving under us in Legion units. If you voluntarily enlist, you have the ability to decide where you want to serve.

Let’s have a chat about this target.

The large dish is missing several pieces in May 21st 30cm imagery, and appears to be out of service.

I see 6 smaller parabolic dishes all pointed roughly S towards the geosynchronous satellite belt over the equator.

The small dishes don’t move between images that I can tell. This likely 70% means they are pointing towards the same satellites all the time, which also rules out low earth orbit.

My assumption is this was either a satcom ground station or EW like Tobol-M

Imagery show: Google
Location: 44.7291572, 34.4868940
Imagery reviewed:  Airbus DS 5-21-2024

You would think that after the attack in Kharkiv, there would be people lined up for blocks to serve in the military. Is this not the case in Ukraine?

1) Do you have access to any camera feeds at Ukrainian recruiting offices or access to their numbers?  No?
2) In case you missed it, Ukraine has been at war for two years, a lot of men are already in the army, and this has been happening for two years.  I think the novelty of Russians murdering civilians has kinda worn off.  This is what they’re dealing with.


Honestly not even worth the response.

Yeah, actually they are. The new law went into effect. More men have signed up, and some are even coming to our unit. We will have some of the first Ukrainians serving under us in Legion units. If you voluntarily enlist, you have the ability to decide where you want to serve.


It was a legitimate question. I'm 50 and I would be fighting to join if they attacked my town like that. Just asking if there was an increase in enlistments.



I apologize.
Two years of snarky comments and all that.

Yes, they seem to be getting the picture. Some of the guys coming to us now want to help, and avoid going directly to the zero line. One of my neighbors and I spoke when I came home. He is in the process of coming over now. We are taking on mechanics, drivers, and other such guys. A couple of the mechanics we are getting have been working for NGOs fixing private military vehicles this whole time. I think many felt they could assist the war effort without enlistment, and they did. The volunteer effort behind the scenes has been very substantial.

Just because someone wasn't fighting, doesn't mean they weren't helping the war effort. Many have used personal funds to support different units, fundraise for drones, etc. Unfortunately the time has come for more people to get in uniform and replace/help those that have served for over two years.

Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The Russian invaders bombed a civilian area:

What the Russian invaders are doing today in Ukraine, they are doing in Syria as well.

They have bombed markets, hospitals, schools, health centers and civilian homes, and all of this continues with impunity.

Russia is a terrorist state.

A pretty short but interesting Silicon Curtain interview with a guest in international banking/finance.  First, he believes Russia’s appointment of Belousov as finance minister is a disaster waiting to happen.  Says he’s an old-fashioned “command economy guy”, which has literally never worked out.  Also contends Russian economic numbers are completely fake.  Says they got a person installed on the IMF who helps them “Certify” their numbers for the international market.  Same person was fired from the world bank for helping China cook their books.

If it was sincere then my apologies.
That said, look at history a bit.  The US obviously had a massive boost in enlistment due to Pearl Harbor.  Did the US have a massive boost to enlistment from the Malmedy massacre?
The answer is no.  Years of war, death, and destruction tend to do that.  The patriotic fervor died off pretty fast and later in the war people served because they had to.  I suspect the same is true in Ukraine.

What are you getting on about?

Ukraine has been fighting Russia since 2014 and hundreds of thousands are volunteers.

This sounds like the “there isnt any combat footage of this war” type of post

Funny story from today.  I was heading into town on an errand, and just as I was getting on the freeway I caught sight of a medium-sized quad hovering (probably illegally) about 50’ up over the onramp a short distance ahead.  Before I could even really wonder about it, I had an instant surge of adrenaline and reflexively thought “where can I evade RIGHT NOW.“  Probably not a bad instinct to have.

Oh you thought you survived that?  Think again!  - Magyar.  (Cleanup of survivors from the “boat-a-pult” video from a week or two ago.)

Awesome long-range Javelin shot across a river!

The time for reconsideration was in Russia with a pen in your hand, not in Ukraine with a rifle in your hand.

Kamikaze hits on Russian troops and vehicles on Bilhorivka.  One Russian throws his rifle and manages to blow up the kamikaze.  Bonus points for the techno Mozart Dies Irae.

Shahed shot down over Starokostayantniv, possibly by a SKYNEX

Ukrainian SOF in action.  Wide range of video.  Ambushes, drone work, arty spotting, etc.  Some very NSFW footage of fresh and not so fresh Russian dead.

Kamikaze hits Russian BMP with meat armor.  At least one killed who is quite identifiable, several wounded.  BMP damaged.

Russian heli firing a rocket salvo from point blank range at UA sea drone and missing.

Four possibly SDB strikes on what may be the Russian-held hospital previously hit by SDBs.

Ukrainian mortarman hangin’ and drinkin’ in a pretty swanky mortar pit.

Russian BMP hit (probably by a kamikaze) and abandoned

and refineries. And even at regular gas stations, the Russian military has to refuel at their own expense.

And there are few drones, and electronic warfare does not work, and stories about the capture of another forester’s hut no longer please anyone.

There's still more to come, Anastasia.
