OT: sort of:
Then there is this thrilling bit of news:
Russia, China and Iran strengthen their military presence in Antarctica

“Russia delivered 44 new T-90Ms in 2023. With 11 delivered so far in 2024, that number does not seem set to rise.”
.....
“Russia Puts On Song And Dance For New Tanks, But What’s Behind The Curtain?”
“Russia made quite a song and dance recently about a shipment of new T-90M tanks to the front line – literally, with state television showing a cheering crowd of two thousand factory workers, performances by singer turned politician Denis Maydanov and rock group Zemlyane, plus a blessing for the hardware by an Orthodox priest.
It was a big celebration for a modest delivery of new hardware. A close look at what is being delivered suggests an attempt to gloss over the true state of Russia’s tank production.”
This only because NATO is expanding into the Antarctic! Disband NATO!
