When your foe is of the opinion of “I’ll burn my house down to scorch you’re lawn” it’s going to be ugly.

Ukrainian pilots I would think


So they have 70 pilots sitting around with no planes. Ok.


Between instructors, called up reservists, and the like, they probably have hundreds of pilots with no platform right now.

Or the UKR drones and Air Force aren’t nearly as effective as we’ve been led to believe and the Russians aren’t that worried about it.

And who is going to fly them?


New York Times reporter Evan Hill "A Ukrainian government official tells politico that Ukrainian pilots have arrived in Poland to take control of MiG-29s and Su-25s donated by European countries."

I don’t understand how the convoy isn’t being targeted unless the Russians are doing a better job of defending it through the air than they seem to be able to establish air superiority in Kyiv.

It is confusing. Perhaps Ukrainian aircraft are all tied up defending cities and can't be diverted to attack the convoy without risking the cities. I'm damned curious as to why those convoys aren't getting hate heaped upon them.

When this is all done and it's been studied, it'll be interesting to see what the reason turns out to be.

How does Putin actually think he is going to hold and govern the citizens of the Ukraine. If the reaction in Berdyansk is any indication there is no way the Russians will.


Honestly if you think about it, Ukraine has has some 30 odd years of being taught about the Holodomor, not to mention more recent history with Chernobyl. After that would you welcome an occupying force from same country with anything other than murder in your eyes? Esp since older generations who remember USSR are dying out?

More likely he's crippled by intractable constipation, based on the MREs I ate.

Fair enough, but you can take out the lead and rear pretty easily on foot.

The mythical ghost pilot has the mythical MRE chewing gum laxative.

The convoy thing is just so bizarre. I guess it's not unlike the buildup at the border we watched for weeks/months, but it's strange to witness.

Oh this is gold from Disney:



Yeah, first off we know why you’re not releasing it because the Ruble is collapsed and thus won’t make any money in Russia, plus they have way too big of problems to go see a new Disney movie anyway.

But that’s beside the point. Disney filmed Mulan in Xinjiang outside of the Uyghur concentration camps and thanked the CCP and their equivalent of the Schutzstaffel in the credits for helping the film:

An early strategy was to allow a column to advance and then target the rear support, hence the tanks breaking down and running out of fuel. Seems like it's about time.

One of the MRE YouTubers has a new video up eating modern Ukrainian rations. The one he had was a five bound bag with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It had snacks, too, and was nearly 5,000 calories.

The breakfast didn't seem terrible, but that was all I watched because the dude doing the video was weird, especially when he had the camera on himself.

We've seen different pics of it for two days now, I think.

A-10 and Apache pilots have to get hard-ons from pictures like that convoy.

It’s good to see our White House has its priorities in order. I’m sure when Hitler lost in Stalingrad signifying their doom that they forgot all about it when he brought out Blondie to put everyone at ease.
