Ukrainian forces have carried out their most complex and ambitious operations to date against Russian military facilities in the occupied region of Crimea, officials in Kyiv have said.

Special forces landed on the western shore of Crimea, near the settlements of Olenivka and Mayak, in a joint operation with the country’s Navy, according to Ukrainian Defense Intelligence.

    That is actually somewhat debatable I guess. Someone in the military knows but does the truth survive the long, long chain of command until it reaches Putin?

      Grue (sp?) meme:

      Panel 1: Boss invades Ukraine because reports said our military is 2nd best in world

      Panel 2: Is not going so well because reports were lies and boss is shoot the messenger kind of guy.

      Panel 3: We make plan of just lie. Boss is too paranoid to leave bunker except to flee to different bunker, so will never know truth.

      Panel 4: Bunker gets CNN.

        Grue (sp?)

        The Despicable Me character in that meme is “Gru.”

        “Grue” is the monster in Zork that is likely to eat you if you linger in complete darkness. (Or reply to you if you ask questions about how to spell it.)

        Heh I wonder if he would then convince himself that he would never be fooled by lying generals and that instead it is the evil West that is lying. Digging his hole even deeper.
