That's generally considered unsafe.
I'm a goalie, can't you tell by my name?! I'll catch anything! Obviously not a debilitating illness, but anything else! Also not transport... I'll catch some things!
Analysis of artillery usage in the war so far. Another great video essay by Perun.
Well. For artillery stuff, I hope you have soft hands...
Probably true. The US very much does not want a direct war with Russia of course.
There's risk of nuclear escalation and even if it's only conventional any significant casualties difficult from domestic perspective.
To be fair that lot was likely looking at missiles flying from under, so you likely shared a crucial intel.
Some!
Why would I catch that arty stuff? I'm a goalie, so I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid!
(Plus, there's a WH Smiths around the corner, I can buy all the arty stuff I like!)
And now we've gone full circle! Nice!

‘We have a new Hitler in Russia’: Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina on Putin’s crimes and her years of resistance
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...khina-putin-crimes-hitler-years-of-resistance
If there had been the sanctions there are now after Crimea and the subsequent invasion of the Donbas, Alyokhina is certain that we would not be in this mess today. “We were calling for a full embargo in 2014 and again in 2015. We were doing street actions. I was arrested 100 times. I hear a lot of discussion in the west that it’s very hard and painful to stop buying oil and gas – well, you guys had eight years. In eight years, it would have been possible. In one month, it’s hard. Maybe politicians were afraid of their voters protesting that their houses were cold. Now Ukrainians don’t have houses at all.”
She lays out in brutal terms what this combination of inertia and self-interest has created. “Money from the west is the basis of our imprisonment, of our poisoning, of political murders and, now, of the war in Ukraine. I really want people to understand this and stop it.”

She's not wrong.
She's 200% right on the money.
Poland appears to be the only major country on the continent that was preparing itself for that scenario.
Ukraine announcing big offensive in order to take coastal regions back.
All my homies hate Erwin Rommel, that handsome Nazi fraud.
Did this get posted yet? I'm a few days late so I assume so.
I'm sure some of his tweets got posted here, but the search tool doesn't work on Tweets, so who knows.

Ah, well there you go! Nice catch.
Guaranteed people who are inclined in some way to be pro-Russian in this will latch on to that guy. That's the big problem with people like him
And to think that what, just a decade ago, their original prison sentence looked like one of the worst deeds of Putin's regime.
Looks like another Russian ammunition dump has gone up in smoke.
If there’s anything on this world I believe in, it’s a British cadre with a mustache.
Only when your opponent doesnt have a capable air force.
Claimed to be a German SMArt 155mm submunition taking out some kind of armored vehicle. If so this is the first time I have seen one of these used. It is a very advanced type of artillery munition which realeses 2 parachuted submunitions over the battlefield that scans the ground using IR sensors and radar for targets and when a target is found it fires a armor penetrating projectile at the target.

Why is it we need peace talks again?
We don't, but the Russians were always going to push like mad for it when they think they've gone as far as they can. Wait and see if there's more of this to come.
Its looking like "gamechangers" might not have been an inappropriate description of these things.
Who about what, Lavrov about killing civilians.
We need peace talks in order to give Poland to Russia without any more fighting. Because Poland was Russian in 1800. Or else Putin might get upset and they will threaten with nuclear war. Do you want a nuclear war or do you want peace?
