I Don't know about that. Rubles are running about the cost of kindling by weight, and they can't afford to wait until next winter to burn them.

I don't know. A second drone sounds more fun. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

'tis better to give than receive, in this case.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Putin has appointed his niece Anna Tsivileva deputy defense minister.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What does that remind me of?
.. And she is a billionaire as well. What a coincidence! These Putins must be very smart people. Vlad working his way up as a KGB operative, and she doing some awesome business stuff. One becoming elected president of a superpower, and his nice being such a smart business woman. I wonder if other members of this family are successful as well.

You mean they really fired money into Russian positions?  The Germans have mounted Skyranger 35 Turrets upon cold war era Leopard I tanks and are sending these “Frankenstein” armored vehicles to Ukraine. These are firing many rounds of munition every second creating some sort of bullet-cloud through which drones cannot pass. The heavily armored bottom of the vehicle is probably also designed to make the vehicle more resistant to kamikaze drones. (Russians do not have similar systems to shoot down Ukrainian drones) ![[Image: TELEMMGLPICT000382131512_17186204857310_...mwidth=680]](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/world-news/2024/06/17/TELEMMGLPICT000382131512_17186204857310_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqyuLFFzXshuGqnr8zPdDWXhbQKbwj1ZsnNMhuR7O6ySI.jpeg?imwidth=680) https://www.yahoo.com/news/old-leopard-t...53224.html ![[Image: 7151bc275de2d3d422106a4008215efe.jpg]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/71/51/bc/7151bc275de2d3d422106a4008215efe.jpg) |
