Russia and Ukraine

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Those chips ain't gonna import themselves.

Yup, it sounds ridiculous until you realize that they're not -just- looting.  They need those chips for their war effort.  Shit, they've been stealing traffic cams in border countries, too, for the same reason.  Why do they get into firefights with each other over washing machines?  Because a unit that can reliably bring in the chips might not be used for recon by fire - a death sentence.

Meanwhile, russia has suffered massive casualties (and we can assume ukraine has, as well) in a failed general push along the bahkmut artillery lines. So much for those new recruits, ground into meat.

There are unconfirmed reports - which would not surprise me if they turned out to be true - that the recent Russian conscripts are referring to themselves as ‘tseli’.

It means ‘targets’.
