Recalling the Bovovna of the week on Tuesday, the satellite photos are in -
With Ukrainians being the majority in all of the invaded regions (except Crimea), there are no doubt lots of eyes and ears to share targeting information on the Russian military.

Funnel Danish Money into Danish Jobs and then send those goods to Ukraine at a marked up VAT rate...
The upcharge might be worth being away from Russian missiles.

I have a legitimate question for someone. Has Ukraine developed anything on their own that can shoot down that new Russian drone. I believe it is called the Gerand. They don't use Patriots against those do they?
Covered a couple of pages back.

Did you notice who was banned and who wasn't? Like a good herpes sore, one of the banned posters reappeared to make sure it went this direction.

Link to posts where someone has praised Zelensky.
I have praised Zelensky quite a bit. If my country were attacked I'd want a leader who acted the way he is acting instead of running away for their own personal safety or surrendering. People give the French tons of crap for basically surrendering in WWII then expect Ukraine to do the exact same thing here.

quote:I worked in Armenia for two 30-day assignments back in 2003.
Armenia is in a bad place no doubt.
I saw firsthand what a severe "brain drain" looks like when the "best" young people abandon their country to emigrate to somewhere else.
My first time there the Governor (head) of the Central Bank of Armenia discreetly asked me to evaluate the people assigned to work with me.
My last day there he invited me to his office and asked me to identify the two "best" people assigned to work with me, which I did.
When I went back for my second assignment about 6 months later I asked the Governor about the two guys I recommended from my prior work there.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Neither one of them is still here. One moved to Great Britain and the other moved to the U.S."
Really sad. The best people leave.

Technically speaking it is an LPG carrier. It can carry ammonia, Vinyl Chloride Monomer, Propane or Butane. It could also carry CO2

Armenia has had a downright tragic history.
And Russia had essentially protected them from Azerbaijan since Armenia came back into existence after the collapse of the USSR.
But they realized a couple of years ago that they could not depend on Russia, anymore... and Azerbaijan just moved into some disputed areas and Russia could do nothing to stop them. But it seems as if the Azerbaijan government is taking an approach of "let's just cooperate and be good neighbors (I'm sure Turkey is playing a big part in that...)." Probably the best thing to happen to Armenia if the hostilities are a thing of the past.

Wow, yea I've noticed a number of Armenians in America they all do well.
Hard working family oriented, great people.
That said, that country is in deep trouble, it's like a mouse between two cats.

Military Journal reports that some Ukrainian units are widely using unidentified kamikaze drones with terminal guidance systems. Once a target is selected, the drone strikes autonomously, allowing it to bypass electronic warfare.
It was bound to happen. Cell phone processors are like a super computer two or three decades back and we've had things like image recognition, motion tracking and terrain mapping navigation for quite a while.
Of course, the Russians won't be far behind with this too.

The people of Armenia have an extremely close affinity for Russia. After I'd been there a couple of weeks I felt comfortable asking one of the persons assigned to work with me about their "affection" for Russia.
Paraphrasing the guy's response, "Russia is the only thing between us and genocide."
He further explained that during USSR days Armenia was constantly being threatened by Azerbaijan and Turkey and Russia was the counterbalance to those countries aggression toward Armenia.
He also told me there are more ethnic Armenians living outside of Armenia than there are living in Armenia.
One more interesting factoid about Armenia: The national symbol of Armenia and its culture is Mount Ararat, the mountain the Bible says Noah's Ark came to rest upon following the Biblical great flood.
Note their national Coat of Arms with Mount Ararat in the center of the image with a large boat sitting on top of the mountain.
The irony is Mount Ararat is NOT in Armenia. It's in Turkey.
That's fricked up!

100%. Europe need to continue dumping their neo liberal governments. The path that they have followed for the last 20 years has been a disaster.
Get their shite together and dump the leftists. They have to get rid or scale back on their social welfare programs. I doubt they will do it.

The area around Lake Van and Mount Ararat was The Homeland of the Armenian people.
A genocide in the 1890s and and the big one in the 1910s moved the people, not the homeland.
Irony is that the Kurds were the willing storm troopers for the Turks.
Now with the Armenians gone, the Turks are more than willing to take out Kurds in Turkey.
So totally makes sense that those up in the mountains of Modern Day Armenia have quite the reason to look to anyone but Turkey...
Because historical Armenia is a graveyard...
