Not too surprising. Russia has been consuming the leftovers of the Soviet Union, mostly built by the client states, to hang on to a semblance of power.

They’re down to the last dregs, running out of tanks, they’ve already run out of old guns and replacement artillery tubes. For the last years they’ve been moving away from their incredibly artillery heavy doctrine to light Infantry assaults.

The stockpiles are spent, and what we are seeing now is what Russia can really do, without the not-so-endless reserves of the Soviet Union.

He could, but it would basically be suicide for him. So he won’t.

You can’t base an empire on your own strong personal might, and then show weakness. A palace guard like Rosgvardia is only useful as long as they actually believe you have the ability and power to protect them like they protect you. The moment that stops, it’s just a question of who finds the balls to kill Putin first.

Infrared scope / analog rangefiner?

Columbus was convinced the world was a lot smaller than it is, and a lot smaller than pretty much everyone with more than 2 braincells said it was. So, since the world is small, and getting to India from Spain requires a long detour around Africa, with the hardest part going against the prevailing winds. He figured he’d just go west and get to India from the other side.

And, being the luckiest bastard in the entire Iberian peninsula, he didn’t end up lost in a giant ocean of nothing, but instead found land only slightly beyond where he calculated India to be.

Except of course it wasn’t. He’d go his entire life denying he was wrong though.

If only they consumed that resource.

He also said to forsake your family and obey your parents and that he didn’t come to bring peace but a sword, but also to bring peace. Oh and also, all the old rules still apply, but also not.

I love experimental archeology!

But you have to remember, as much as we want to study is, and have tens of thousands of years of science to build on, we’re all just people doing this stuff for fun. The people who did this in the past did this stuff every 10 hours a day, every day for decades since the day they could walk.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had been appointed by President Donald Trump to lead discussions

Former envoy to the Netherlands, Pete Hoekstra? This asshole who ran away from reporters actually pressing on him questions instead of rolling over like Americans? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9NXj9HByU

He also did this, about the same incident. Called previous statement fake news, then, 11 seconds later, after being shown his own video, said he never called it fake news: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K8AwFc9hlf4

I would teach rich bastards the errors of their ways just for the love of the game.

And we’ll get the second worst film

It’s super easy.

Does it have a propeller? It’s a drone.

Does it have a rocket motor? That’s a missile.

Does it have a jet engine and cost less than ten million dollars? Drone

Jet engine and more than a 10m? Cruise missile.

The Oracle, her spoon unbending

Either a strange person can touch you… Oooooorrrrr you can crawl into the sharps box full of dried animal fluids and needles.

Obvious the orange knows which one is best

Yeah, they’re still cat toys.

owners will easily circumvent it and raise dangerous dogs that are that breed or essentially are.

French laws banned a hand full of breeds entirely, and heavily restricted a whole host of others, specifically including all breeds that look like the banned ones. If you want a category 2 dog, it needs to be registered, insured, you need to show yourself capable and it need to be muzzled at all time in public.

You can’t just “get a similar dog”, because that’s also restricted. Not that this guy would ever clear the legal requirements anyway.

Potentially. But we also have a few spring-based cat toys. We recently bought a few of these, and literally everyone loves them

I would love some paprikash, but I really don’t need a backhair remover.

… by doing things that are impossible.

Russia is now sanctioning themselves. Amazing

They should sweep the forests, like they do in sweden
