      How sad. Getting to the left bank is very dangerous.

      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        The 101st Airborne is in Romania for training, a mere three miles from the Ukrainian border. Interesting:
        U.S. troops in Romania are extremely close to Putin's war, conducting exercises with NATO allies that "replicate exactly what's going on" over the border.

          Supposed cruise missile interception. Foul language if you speak Ukrainian!

            This is the same one from the other day. Just a different angle. Still pretty cool!

              Russia attempting to modernize the T-62 MBT.


              Here's video of a train of them rolling through Yekaterinburg: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRuss...rolls_through/ (I count 28 units).

              One interesting thing about this is that these tanks require a four-man crew instead of the more modern ones with an auto-loader.

                Is Petraeus telegraphing again or is he speaking out of turn? I can't get the whole article, and I haven't found any rebroadcasting of it by other outlets in translation, but my half-ass translation from French of "Une force dirigée par les Etats-Unis pourrait intervenir en Ukraine" is "A force commanded by the United States could intervene in Ukraine."

                Pour l'ancien commandant de la Force internationale d'assistance et de sécurité en Afghanistan, les efforts récents de la Russie pour punir l'Ukraine ont renforcé la détermination de celle-ci.


                As you might suspect, this is all over Ukrainian Telegram and Twitter channels.

                    I can't remember if I shared this or not, but it's a lengthy video of a Russian BMP driving to a Ukrainian designated surrender point. It's an interesting video of how they handle and treat their captives (especially when they willingly surrender outside of combat). https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFoota..._of_a_russian/

                          The consensus idea on Telegram commenters is that the Russians are trying to cause a refugee crisis of people fleeing the cold of winter to central Europe, causing the Right in countries like Czechia, Poland, Alemania, and Austria to stop supporting Ukraine and push for peace.
