Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
“More than three decades after Reagan left office, most Republicans still believe that America is a force for good.”
Media hasn’t mentioned Ukraine or Zelenskyy since Biden’s speech.
Putin almost died of cardiac arrest? Three things you need to know:
We have received many questions about whether the information about Vladimir Putin’s cardiac arrest and the fact that he almost died is true.
At first we did not want to comment on this stuff, but we learned interesting details.
•Firstly, the information is not true; Vladimir Vladimirovich’s health is more or less in order, as we wrote .
•Secondly, the information that Putin almost died was brought in from the Kremlin.
The author of the idea is Sergei Kiriyenko. “Sergei Vladilenovich wanted to achieve two goals.
The first is to see the reaction of society to the possible death or incapacity of Vladimir Vladimirovich, and at the same time identify enemies in order to discipline them.
The second is to relax these very enemies of the president so that they become more vulnerable. Closer to the elections, not such technologies will be used, you’ll see,” a high-ranking source in the Administration told us.
•Thirdly, the stuffing was carried out in the strictest secrecy.
Even Dmitry Peskov did not know that information about Putin’s poor health was spread from the Kremlin, and he had to refute the rumors, thinking that these were the machinations of enemies, and not a “special operation of friends.”
They say that Dmitry Sergeevich is very dissatisfied that he was not informed about this situation. And he fears that he is losing the trust of Vladimir Vladimirovich.

Yesterday, for the first time, the President’s Double was invited to take part in a meeting, which was held in a closed format, via video link.
Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev was the initiator of the invitation to the President’s backup to attend a meeting with representatives of the leadership of the security bloc.
The Secretary of the Security Council justified this innovation by the fact that in any case the double will have to be privy to the nuances of the decisions that are made during such meetings, and if he is present, then the reasons for making decisions will become clear to him and he will be able to correctly and constructively argue in favor of these decisions.
Patrushev himself held this event, practically not paying attention to the presence of the “two,” and only at the end, before closing, he asked the meeting participants what they thought about such a format.
No one spoke out against it, and the Secretary of the Security Council said that for now operational meetings would be held in this format.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is no longer able to govern the country and the Double, as the person who will now everywhere represent the President, is gradually replacing the head of state at closed events.
Yesterday, consultations continued between representatives of elite groups who are trying to unite in order to maintain Putin’s system of power after the death of Putin himself.
The fact that the Double will play the President for some time does not cause rejection among any of the negotiators, but everyone recognizes that this solution is temporary.
Over the past 24 hours, Vladimir Putin’s condition has not changed and remains stable and serious.
The attending doctors say that a miracle will not happen and are preparing loved ones for the worst outcome.

If correct, Russia’s previous claims that it had a carrier killing role was premature at best.

My interpretation:
Currently, target coordinates are input on the ground, most likely by a "trusted" member of the ground crew (not the pilot).
Why?...the upper echelon don't trust their pilots.
If the pilots could re-target, they could set Moscow as the target then land in a NATO country.
Breaking!!
Just woke from a nap, turned TV sound on, Bottom Line show - Brig Gen Antony Tata said that there is a known Iranian spy on the Joint Chief’s staff who communicates daily with the Mullahs. Iran knows everything abut our military deployments worldwide.
Joint Chief’s know this and refuse to get rid of him.
