Russia's War Against Ukraine

use coors light, its basically water.

I agree..... great when ice cold

Speaking of light beer, I almost never buy it**, but when I heard about all the Maga's losing their shit over Bud Light... I bought a cube of it to say "fuck you" to my least liked people. Did similar with Carhart too.

** I also never buy beer over 7-8% now.... it gets you in trouble very quickly and when you realize it.... too fucking late my friend.

When asked about a possible war with NATO - Putin Says they are prepared for any scenario

30 years ago, when I was living in Denmark, a Danish friend of mine told me the following joke:

Q: "What do American beer and sex in a canoe have in common?"

A: "They're both f&$%ing close to water!"

But the first time she told me this joke, she was really drunk, and the question came out "What do American beer and sex have in common?"  Me and my American house-brother spent the next two weeks wondering, "Is it because they all live on a peninsula so they're surrounded by water?  Do they do things differently in Denmark?"

My younger daughter thought this was the funniest thing ever when she was 12 and we were at a Yankees spring training game in Tampa:

A guy had a beer vendor come over and when he asked what kind of beer he was selling the vendor said 'Coors Light' and the guy answered 'Oh I'm sorry I thought you were selling beer.'

She still laughs at that.

What I came to realize was that they DO have that control.  For whatever reason, nobody is allowed to talk badly about Putin or about the decision to go to war.  They ARE allowed to criticize the generals and the conduct of the war.

Which is why that Moscow Times article was so surprising to me.

Damn..... HIMARS are some seriously deadly kit.

OUCH

I saw earlier reports, but it now seems much more confirmed now.

The Moscow Times is Russia's leading, independent English-language media outlet. Our team of Russian and English journalists provide readers across the world with breaking news, engaging stories and balanced reporting about the largest country on Earth.

As a result of legislation on "fake news" passed by the Russian parliament in March 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, The Moscow Times has relocated its journalists abroad and opened a temporary newsroom in Yerevan, Armenia. In addition, we have taken a series of steps to protect our staff. Until safe to do otherwise, some articles may appear without bylines or, at the discretion of editors, under a pseudonym.

450Kg of dynamite reportedly in the drone boat....  almost 1000 pounds.

Could be a good boom depending on the potency (10-90% range of nitroglycerine).

I like big booms and cannot lie!
