Russian invasion of Ukraine

'issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group ISIL. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"'

cmon man

I am not responsible for your interpretation of my words.


They still have AMMO for these?! This is a joke, yes? Please tell me this isn't real because otherwise....

My family in the UK is hosting (entering our 7th month) two refugees.

I'd be interested to hear from someone else who is hosting and what your feelings are (anonymously as opposed to the usual Facebook pages).

Personally, I'm sick and fucking tired of meaningless platitudes and second hand clothes. There's a lot of "thoughts and prayers" and less meaningful action e.g., offering to pay for exorbitant car insurance. It's beginning to piss me off now. Need other people to step up.

Will they ever sanction Russia for nuclear rhetoric and fearmongering? It's downplayed in visibility here because you can't talk about it in earnest, but almost every other week they make some threat along those lines. No world power should be able to so flippantly make threats like that.

Today it's actually seemingly gotten the notice of the Ukrainians, who claim no one should ever be allowed to casually make such threats even if it's bluster. They demand something to be done about it already.

Please. Just. Stop. Lying. There is nothing "earnest" about you. All you do is fearmonger and hero worship Putin (in before "But I'm not!") and keep pushing every line, every bluster, every bluff as though it were credible. We're talking about a man who claimed this invasion was just a 3-day exercise when it's been past a year since.

They already had nukes in kaliningrad so it doesn't really mean much.

NATO could deliver them some more nukes if they want.

Ukraine Ammunition Supply Threatened by 'TikTok Cat Videos'

One of Europe's largest ammunition manufacturers has said it's unable to expand to meet new quotas and respond to Ukraine's increased demand because a nearby data center is using up all the electricity in the central Norway region to store TikTok videos.

The Norwegian group Nordic Ammunition Company, better known as Nammo, told the U.K. newspaper Financial Times that there's no surplus of energy for its Raufoss plant, where the new factory was planned.

The electricity of the region is being used up by a data center whose bigger client is TikTok.

...

Brandtzæg said that he "can't rule out" that it's "not by pure coincidence" that the expansion of a European defense company was being blocked by the Chinese-owned social-media app.

that sounds like complete bullshit.

[Iphie]

Russian talking heads are nuts

Seriously though how disconnected from reality can you be?

[Flarelaine]

that sounds like complete bullshit.

It does, but it's explained in the article.

The entire existence of Kalinngrad seems to undermine a lot of Putins grievances if you ask me.

Heres a good video about another Ukraine ammunition issue, but it is long, and goes back ten years.

News came out today about Finland and Sweden both buying SAKO ARs as the future gun platform for both countries' militaries. All NATO compatible. <3

During discussions, opposition MP Elöd Novák said Hungary should not permit Finland and Sweden to join Nato.

In 2014, the party was described as an "anti-Semitic organization" by The Independent and a "neo-Nazi party" by the president of the European Jewish Congress.

Ah, yes. Who would have thought that the Nazis are anti-NATO and pro-Russia. Shocking.

I saw ^_^ no more AK copies.

[Lahis]

that sounds like complete bullshit.

Manufacturing ammunition takes up loads of energy.

Hosting giant server farm also takes up loads of energy.

Unfortunately, this ammunition factory is located next to TikTok server farm, and the grid cannot supply them both at full power.

Not comlaining about the RK though. AK models have proven their track record of being reliable and nigh industrible weapon.
