What are you talking about man? HIMARS didn’t exist in 1988. Hell, we didn’t even have them for initial invasion of Iraq in 03.

If you would have looked at the thread, you would have seen my sarcasm/satire. It was also directed to the personal situation of the person I was responding to.

Key Takeaways

Russia is conducting forced deportation of Ukrainians that likely amount to a deliberate ethnic cleansing campaign in addition to apparent violations of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Prominent Russian milbloggers who yesterday announced the existence of “hit lists” reportedly originating with the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and targeting milbloggers for their coverage of operations in Ukraine walked back their claim on October 15.

The Wagner Group Private Military Company is likely continuing efforts to assert its supremacy over the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and more conventional Russian ground forces.

Russia may have signed a new contract with Iran for the supply of Arash-2 drones.

Russian forces continued counterattacks west of Kreminna.

Russian milbloggers widely discussed the likelihood of a Ukrainian counteroffensive on Kreminna and Svatove.

Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian troops launched a general counteroffensive in northern Kherson Oblast.

Russian forces continued ground attacks in Donetsk Oblast.

Ukrainian forces likely struck Russian military assets situated along Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) in Zaporizhia Oblast and southern Donetsk Oblast.

Mobilized Russian forces engaged in a fratricidal altercation at a training ground in Belgorod Oblast.

Russian and occupation administration officials continued to enact restrictions on movement and conduct strict law enforcement activities in Russian-occupied territories.

Do we think about their shareholders, employees, subcontractors, etc when we say themselves?

You may as well list Ginzu knives and Popeil's Pocket Fisherman since you are just throwing crap at the wall.

FTR, Halliburton had to spin KBR off as it was losing money with its Iraq contracts.

Man but things would be a lot better for Ukraine if he were standing in front of an f-16 or Gripen instead of a Mig-29.

I keep forgetting to mention there is a multi-part set of lectures on the YaleCourses YT channel: The Making of Modern Ukraine. I am only on the second one but it is interesting if you have the time and interest.
