Dance, sing and be happy!
When does Russia run out of tanks? I’m getting impatient.
“In Blow to Russia, Armenian Separatists Capitulate in Nagorno-Karabakh”
“Cease-fire agreement after daylong assault ends decades of armed struggle by Armenian separatists in contested region”
Roughly half way thru their tanks.
Be patient, this war has another 8.5 years to go.
Much more destruction of RuZZia to come.
Jon Boy!
You will be so disappointed when Ukraine is funded with BILLIONS in additional aid.
“...So nice to see our tax dollars being spent for a good purpose instead of more welfare programs.”
So much of our federal spending produces negative results and lots of federal spending is just wasteful. But just look at what Ukraine has done with just the chump change from the constitutional spending in our defense budget and defense-related budget. Russia has been humiliated over and over again.
It is not just the ultra-modern javelins and lock-on fire and forget weapons. Those Ukrainian farm boys have knocked out lots of BMPs and BTRs with old-fashioned close-range RPGs. And they often clear Russian trenches using up-close and personal methods.
Peak China.
21t Century will be ‘Another American Century’.
“Thought the U.S. Office Market Was Bad? Try China”
“The office market in the U.S. is dismal. In some ways, it is even worse in China.
With the country’s economy facing its worst slowdown in years, huge amounts of office space are sitting empty in once-booming cities like Shenzhen and Wuhan, while rents are falling.
Nearly 24% of the office-tower space in 18 major Chinese cities was unoccupied as of June, according to CBRE, the real-estate services firm. That is worse than the U.S., where office vacancy rates hit a 30-year-high of 18.2% in June.
Unlike the U.S., however, China’s office market isn’t suffering from a significant shift toward hybrid work patterns, which have reduced Western companies’ need for space.
China is facing a more basic real-estate problem: Developers simply built too much supply, and now the economy is too weak to absorb it.”

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for September 18, 2023
- Ukrainian offensive operations remain stagnant along the line of contact with Russian counterattacks overturning what superficial progress they do make;
- The Western media citing US and other NATO member state officials admits Ukrainian forces lacked the proper training to conduct a successful offensive;
- As Western sources begin admitting to Ukraine's catastrophic losses in men and materiel, they also admit Russian losses are near all time lows;
- The collective West also acknowledges that the amount of ammunition and weapons Ukraine requires is beyond the West’s ability to provide both in the short and intermediate future;
- In order to provide such levels of material support, the West would need to significantly mobilize its population, industry, and military, a prospect that isn’t even being seriously considered let alone planned;
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.
Is that where you live?
Welcome home.
Over the past couple of weeks UKF have taken out several S-400 sites.
Coordinated attack using drones, HARMs, Storm Shadows and possibly modified Neptune missiles.

On 15 September, Russia’s Central Bank raised interest rates a full percentage point, from 12% to 13%.
As recently as 21 July, the rate was just 7%.
Russia’s economy and Government finances are accelerating toward implosion.
The death watch remains over the Russian ruble - 200 to the dollar is assessed by Russian Central Bankers as a level that will induce an irreversible collapse to the Russian economy.
200.
Just like the term for the Military’s Killed In Action.
Currently on track for next year, as are depletion of the National Wealth Fund (which pays many Russian pensions) and the effective depletion of the old Soviet arsenals.
Vlad the Disastrous did that. Truly historic disaster.
The death watch continues for the ruble. 200 and bust.
Sochi officially under attack.
“Katsaps share footage of the beginning of cotton in Sochi, as they claim the fire was caused by a UAV attack”

Russia’s military will be empty just like Siberia. Then what?
“Russia’s military will be empty just like Siberia. Then what?”
Some combination of Breakaway and Takeaway of territory?
ISW, 19 September:
“Russian losses have reportedly significantly increased in western Zaporizhia Oblast in recent days, and the Russian military likely struggles with a lack of available combat-effective units that the Russian command is willing to laterally redeploy to this sector of the front.”
It appears that their Strategic Reserve forces (VDV) have significantly been processed through the wood chipper.
