"Ukraine is Gamifying the Elimination of Russians with Drones" Jake Broe** I am a United States Air Force veteran who served as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. Jan 27, 2026 8:00 p.m. EST Length 32:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KknUmByywT0
"Ukraine has struck a Russian oil refinery for the first time in 4 weeks. Ukraine's new Defense Minister has announced a competition between drone units that allows them to earn "e-points" for every successful strike on the Russians. Trump is pressuring Ukraine to surrender the Donbas to Russia in exchange for US security guarantees."
And Florida's "Alexander Vindman finally got his head on straight!" That's an outright lie.
Yep. It appears that if those waggy fingers are typing, lies are being told. 😏

Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov met with NATO Senior Representative in Ukraine Patrick Turner and Lieutenant General Curtis Bazard, commander of NATO’s Special Mission for Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine and commander of the Ukraine Security Assistance Group (NSATU/SAG-U).
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense.
Mykhailo Fedorov thanked NATO for its consistent support and effective coordination of critical defense assistance, particularly within the framework of the Ukraine Defense Pact, through which Ukraine receives the necessary ammunition for air defense.
The key priority now is to protect the sky, and to this end, Ukraine is transforming its “small” air defense system.

The parties agreed on key priorities for cooperation — strengthening air defense, developing Patriot, F-16, and HIMARS, as well as joint work on technological superiority.
Ukraine shares its unique combat experience, real battlefield data, and technological solutions that are already working with its partners, added the head of the Ministry of Defense.
A separate track is the coordination of the Ramstein format with Germany and the United Kingdom to speed up decision-making and the delivery of necessary assistance to Ukraine.
I see a phrase saying “running out of reserves by 2023.” Does this mean the list of 7 items with % figures are pre 2023 figures? If so, they are way out of date, and mostly much worse based on later information recently posted at this and the previous Ukraine info thread.

Which relates to the thread's title's "gamifying." One can gamify a drone, and one can gamify a YouTube channel, and one can sure gamify a Free Republic thread with propaganda.

Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22139-athletes-foot-tinea-pedis
What is athlete’s foot?
Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection (caused by a fungus). Athlete’s foot causes an itchy, stinging, burning rash on the skin on one or both of your feet. Athlete’s foot is most common between your toes, but it can also affect the tops of your feet, the soles of your feet and your heels. Your skin may become scaly and cracked or develop blisters. Sometimes, your feet smell bad.
Athlete’s foot is a form of ringworm. “Tinea pedis” is another name for athlete’s foot. “Tinea” is another name for ringworm, and “pedis” means foot or feet.
What does athlete’s foot look like?
Athlete’s foot can affect the skin between your toes, the bottoms of your feet, the tops of your feet, the edges of your feet and your heels. Your skin may appear irritated (red, purple, gray or white), scaly or flaky.
Who is at risk?
Athlete’s foot affects everyone. But it’s most common in males and people over the age of 60. You may be more likely to develop athlete’s foot if you have:
Diabetes.
Obesity.
A weakened immune system.
Tissue damage or wounds on your feet.
How common is athlete’s foot?
Athlete’s foot is common. Estimates suggest that 3% to 15% of the population has athlete’s foot, and 70% of the population will have athlete’s point at some time in their lives.
Symptoms and Causes
What are the symptoms of athlete’s foot?
Symptoms of athlete’s foot include:
Cracked and peeling skin.
Itchy skin.
A skin rash.
A burning sensation.
What are the different types of athlete’s foot?
Your symptoms depend on the type of athlete’s foot that you have.
Toe web infection: A toe web infection is the most common type of athlete’s foot. It typically affects the skin between your fourth toe (ring toe) and fifth toe (pinkie toe). Your skin may change color, crack, peel or flake.
Moccasin-type infection: A moccasin-type infection affects the bottoms of your feet, your heels and the edges of your feet. Your feet may be sore for a few days. Then, the skin on the bottoms of your feet thickens and cracks. In rare cases, your toenails may get infected. They can thicken, break into small pieces and fall out.
Vesicular-type infection: A vesicular-type infection typically affects the bottoms of your feet, but it may appear anywhere on your feet. A vesicular-type infection features bumps or fluid-filled blisters (vesicles).
Ulcerative infection: An ulcerative infection is the rarest type of athlete’s foot. Open sores (ulcers) often appear between the toes. Open sores may also appear on the bottoms of your feet.
What causes athlete’s foot?
Several different species of fungi cause athlete’s foot.
It commonly spreads through skin-to-skin contact or contact with a flake of skin. It spreads in areas used by large groups of people, like locker rooms, swimming pools and saunas.
It can also spread through contact with an infected surface. You can get athlete’s foot by sharing towels, socks or shoes with someone who has athlete’s foot.
Is athlete’s foot contagious?
Athlete’s foot is contagious. It’s a fungus that grows on or in your skin. Fungi (plural form of fungus) need warm temperatures and moisture to grow. People often wear socks and tight shoes every day, which keep their feet warm and moist. This is the perfect environment for athlete’s foot to grow.
Diagnosis and Tests
How is athlete’s foot diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider can typically diagnose athlete’s foot by examining your feet and symptoms.
What tests will be done to diagnose athlete’s foot?
In some cases, your healthcare provider may remove a small piece of skin (biopsy) and test it in a lab. Several drops of a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution dissolve the skin cells so only fungal cells are visible.
Management and Treatment
How do I treat athlete’s foot?
Over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription antifungal creams, ointments, gels, sprays or powders effectively treat athlete’s foot. These products contain clotrimazole, miconazole, tolnaftate or terbinafine.
Some prescription antifungal medications for athlete’s foot are pills. These pills contain fluconazole, itraconazole or terbinafine.
It’s important to finish your full course of medicine. If you stop too soon, your athlete’s foot may come back and be harder to treat.
How do I manage my athlete’s foot symptoms?
Keep your feet dry, clean and cool. If possible, don’t wear socks or shoes. Avoid scratching your feet. Scratching your feet may cause the fungus to spread to other parts of your body.
How soon after treatment will I feel better?
With proper diagnosis and treatment, your athlete’s foot should go away in one to eight weeks. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
It’s important to finish your full course of medicine. During the early healing stages, itchiness and irritation will fade. Even if your symptoms go away, you may still have athlete’s foot. If you don’t finish your full course of medicine, your athlete’s foot can come back and be harder to treat.
What will happen if athlete’s foot is left untreated?
Athlete’s foot can spread across the bottom of your foot. This is moccasin athlete’s foot. In feet with moccasin athlete’s foot, the skin on the bottoms, heels and edges of your feet are dry, itchy and scaly.
In severe cases of athlete’s foot, you may develop fluid-filled blisters or open sores. Blisters often appear on the bottoms of your feet, but they may develop anywhere on your feet. Open sores often appear between your toes, but they may appear on the bottoms of your feet. Your feet may also smell bad.
Athlete’s foot doesn’t typically go away on its own. If it’s left untreated, it can spread to other areas of your body, including your:
Nails: Fungal nail infections can be more difficult to treat. They’re often more resistant to many treatments.
Hands: A similar fungal infection can spread to your hands. This happens when you scratch your infected feet or use the same towel to dry off your infected feet and hands.
Groin: The same fungus that causes athlete’s foot can also spread to your groin. It’s a condition called jock itch. The fungus typically spreads from your feet to your groin after using a towel to dry off after bathing or swimming.

Elon Musk stops Russian killer drones from hijacking Starlink to strike Ukrainian cities
NEW YORK POST
By Caitlin Doornbos
Updated Jan. 29, 2026, 11:30 a.m. ET
https://nypost.com/2026/01/29/us-news/elon-musk-shutting-down-starlink-on-russian-killer-drones/
.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk is switching off Starlink systems on Russian killer drones after learning Moscow hijacked his satellite technology to strike Ukrainian cities, Kyiv’s defense minister said Thursday.
“Within hours of reports that Russian drones equipped with Starlink connectivity were operating over Ukrainian cities, the Ministry of Defense team promptly contacted @SpaceX and proposed concrete ways to resolve the issue,” Minister Mikhailo Fedorov wrote in a post to X.
Fedorov praised SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell and Musk personally for what he called a rapid, decisive response.
The defense minister also pointed out that “Musk’s decision to urgently activate Starlink and send the first batch of terminals to Ukraine” after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 “was critical to the resilience of our state.”
Russian forces for weeks have increasingly been using Starlink “to extend the range of BM-35 strike drones to conduct mid-range strikes against the Ukrainian rear,” according to the Institute of the Study of War.

It is akin to an independent religious professional itch, or IRPI. IRPI tries to be contagious, but natural immunity is high in many.
Now your explanation is much shorter and straight to the point than that which I posted. :)
Tongue in cheek, IRPI does sound a little like a burp.
On a serious note, this -- not YouTube channels -- is late news.

This condition apparently can be serious.
Let each of us remember Allegra in our prayers.
From the way the Zeepers talk [post] Ukraine has killed everything pertaining to Russia 10,000 years ago.
They talk about the fraud in Minnesota being in billions.
The fraud in Ukraine started out in multiples of trillions and increased with the square as time passed. No one mentions that. Could it be that the fraud money Minnesota got had been ear marked for Ukraine and was Hijacked to Minnesota? Both bunches are crooked as a dog’s hind leg. Could it be that the Ukrainian cartel was hoodooed by the Minnesota cartel?
What seems certain is that enormous levels of corruption are found in many places, and it seems to me that US Democrats and their Democrat-adjacent RINOs are in on massive fraud. My bride and I follow European news, and corruption is being slowly documented in "liberal" Europe, as elsewhere. From golden toilet stories to suitcases of cash being flown out of our nation to Africa and beyond, it seems that corruption is the theme of these last couple of decades.
So "both bunches: should be amended to "many bunches." All are attacks on liberty. I pray for safety for the Trump-Vance administration, as many corruption-filled apple-carts are being overturned, one after another.
Yes, this is one of the many reasons most of us want to see this come to an end. Who wants people to have to live like this?
The brutality continues in order to satisfy a cabal of greedy people who are not only not having to deal with such horrible discomfort and misery, but are benefiting from it.
Those people are the scum of the earth. There are Russians, Ukrainians, Europeans and Americans who want this to go on. Shame on every one of them.
