Just want to point out that a meme isn't an argument, answer or even an original thought of your own. Some may even say it's an echo chamber line of thought you likely don't appreciate. Especially when others you disagree with use their crazy memes.

I don't know what Russia has done to correct their comms issue, but relying on civilian radio and cell phones to communicate is not a good thing.

In the early days people from all over the world were listening in on Russian comms.

Even if they had encryption, with Gen Z soldiers all you probably have to do is have a few pallets of free iPhones sitting at the Ukraine boarder with a sign saying “This insecure device has GPS and can post on an internet that the entire world can see” and let the intelligence flow.

Why? Because if our kids are any example, nothing happens if it’s not filmed and posted on the internet - even if that means filming yourself committing a crime or anything else incriminating.

Got one. F-16 out of Aviano, Italy. Viper 52 was also on there but went dark before I could screen shot. They were hooked up to a tanker that also "disappeared".

Yep. That makes it clear to me that we are 100%, undeniably now dealing with aliens.

US intelligence before the invasion and certainly afterwards is the biggest driver of Ukrainian success. Other than the fact that they are well trained and back down to nobody.

This is significant and don't think for a minute this slipped past the Chinese censors. Xi doing work.

VPN works for allowing you to post to or access non-Chinese sanctioned websites while physically located in China. most of R/China is expats posting via VPN on Reddit, but of course R/China exists on US servers.

The linked post referenced a Douyin (TikTok) video, which means the the material itself is on a Chinese server and has not been censored.

At this point I've concluded the poliboard is half Russian trolls and half undercover FBI agents.

I haven't seen it, but Arnold has been vocal since the start of the invasion. I don't know that it trumps the "screw your freedoms" speech or not.

A couple weeks ago was the Arnold's Classic. At the awards ceremony he gave a good speech. One of the competitors was Oleksii Novikov, Ukrainian, former World's Strongest Man and second place finisher at the Arnold's Strongman Classic this year. Arnold gave Oleksii the second place prize money, plus donated the equivalent to the first place prize money to Novikov's fundraising efforts.

Thought it was a very well done and seemingly very sincere. Worth a watch.
