Hungary’s government supports the NATO membership of Sweden and Finland and has submitted the ratification documents to the National Assembly, Minister Gergely Gulyás said Saturday. - Politico

Gulyás, chief of staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, said the expansion of NATO to include both countries would be ratified by mid-December at the latest, per media reports.

Erdogan's government placed a series of demands on Stockholm, in particular to crack down on Kurdish groups that Ankara accuses of terrorism and considers to be national security threats.

Erdogan told a group of reporters Thursday upon his return from a trip to Azerbaijan that Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson had made comments “in favor of the fight against terrorism and terrorists.” The Turkish leader said he accepted Kristersson's request to visit the Turkish capital.

“Of course, we will test their sincerity on this issue during this visit,” Erdogan said in comments quoted by Turkish media on Friday.

NATO operates by consensus, so Sweden and Finland need Turkey’s approval to join. The parliaments of Turkey and Hungary have yet to ratify their accession

The Russians have been dumping water from the Kakhovsky Reservoir for the third day amid claims of alleged "Ukrainian plans" to attack the Kakhovsky HPP, — BBC sources report.

According to the publication, the occupation administration says that they are doing this in order to minimize the possible consequences of "negative events" at the HPP.

The panther statute "Grady" outside the 505th HQ was always getting painted pink, then some officer would have it painted back black and the cycle continued, I wonder if it still happens today. Grady was carved from stone by some old 505th trooper named Grady with a hammer and screwdriver, or so the legend goes.

1st BCT is the Devil brigade from the Devils in baggy pants 504th PIR, the nickname came from a Wehrmacht officer's journal.

2nd BCT is the Falcon brigade from the 325th The 325th is the oldest of the three dating back to WWI and was originally along with the 326th was made up of men from the south. Later it incorporated soldiers from all the states and that is the genesis of the All American nickname and the 82nd's AA patch. Though we all know it really stands for Alcoholics Annonymous.

3rd BCT is the Pather brigade from the 505th PIR

Oh yeah, when you have a shitty SGM it gets painted pink once a week.

A "Panther Pause" is a two hour nap after lunch when on the FOB with nothing to do.

There are widespread reports that Ukrainian forces are advancing again in the Kherson region, both along the Dnipro towards Mylove and along the Imhulets further south of Davydiv Brid.

Some of you may find this interesting. There’s a gif at the end showing the predicted flow of the water if the dam is breached.

Worst case modelling for Nova Kakhovka dam break

This model is a worst case model and a simplification of reality as all models are.

Speaking of conscripts, I'm not sure if this is real or not, but it fits in line with what we've come to expect from Russia:
@igorsushko Twitter
quote:

Putin's bodyguards shot & killed a conscript on the shooting range in #Ryazan who approached Putin too aggressively. Putin's promo video exiting his limousine had to be redone - reportedly disclosed by FSB & Kremlin sources. Conscript witnesses + family threatened to stay silent.

Would be shocked if Kherson has already fallen. The only way that’s happened is if Russian forces abandoned the city to set up defensive position on the east side of the river. Which would be the smart thing to do.

I saw this tweet pop up on the timeline. I'm sure OML will shite a brick when he reads it:
@TelegraphWorld Twitter Thread
quote:

America's military must be ready to respond to a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan that could come before the end of this year, the head of the US Navy has said
quote:

Admiral Michael Gilday, chief of US naval operations, is the latest senior US military official to indicate heightened alarm over Beijing's intentions towards the island
quote:

The admiral said the US Navy had adopted a "fight tonight" mentality in response and should become ready quicker, prioritising lethality and the size of the fleet
quote:

In stark comments, he raised concerns that Xi Jinping, China's President, may be much more willing than previously thought to seize Taiwan
quote:

Mr Xi delivered a landmark Communist Party Congress speech on Sunday in which he restated his vow to "reunify" Taiwan one day
quote:

On Monday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken warned that Beijing wants to seize Taiwan "on a much faster timeline" than previously thought
quote:

He added that "a very different China" had emerged under Mr Xi and that any war over Taiwan would have an "enormous" impact on global trade

I was only musing a day or so ago, but this does seem like an organized retreat with the Ukrainian army allowing it. The only question is how far up the Russian chain of command this went. The Russians seem to want to keep this quiet.
