Get the sappers on these things, get 'em to the motor pool, restock the ammo, fill the gas tanks, powerwash the tribal markingz, and put them to use against their former owners.

Russia allegedly struck the City Council buildings in the town of Energodar, home of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant: https://t.me/supernova_plus/13282?comment=169555

The building is located here, I believe (I looked this up myself): https://g.page/en-gov-ua?share

With the potential destruction of the dam, withdrawal from Kherson, and friendly-fire message sending to Ukrainians, coupled with the strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, it would seem that the Russians have some kind of plan in place that I hope our intelligence assets have figured out. I'd hate for Ukraine to walk into some kind of major trap vis a vis their energy production capabilities.

Pretty amazing video of anti-aircraft missiles intercepting Iranian Shahed "moped" suicide drones. Once again we hear them using Creedence Clearwater Revival music in their videos.

BDA makes our nipples hard, and this type of stuff is important in why, where and how the Ukrainians can attack, but warfare is always about taking and holding territory. Essentially, the entire military is either armor or infantry or in support of armor and infantry.

I just think that with all the anger at Russia for being quintessential gawdless commies it is all to easy to become preoccupied with stats that really don't matter. Don't become a Cougarboard wanker carrying on about TOP!

Football games are about more points than your opponent and war is about taking and holding territory.

After the Russians preparing the public ground for a retreat back across the Dnipro River, looks like it may actually happen this week.

Why is it called the "left bank" when it is clearly on the right?

Because if you look in the direction the water is flowing, it is on the left bank.

That is also my understanding of their cultural viewpoint. Note that they don’t use cardinal directions.

I think Ukraine has to do something big soon to hit back at Russia over energy sector strikes. Telegram longs for revenge.

Well I don't like it, and if the UKs want my continued support, some changes gotta be made.

I like it. Simple and works great no matter what direction the river is flowing.

Well, your way can get confusing. For example, in New Orleans, you can take this ferry, that runs due east, to get to the West Bank: https://goo.gl/maps/5UZiLBJsEnGgnDin9

As a kid I remember seeing a map of Egypt and being confused about the upper and lower Egypt labels.
