AI does done seriously freaky stuff. That headless women is the stuff of nightmares.

Haha, I hadn't spotted that, definitely the one that looks like a kicked spaniel.

It might be that English is not your first language. I agree, it is not a new strategy "today", but the article is written in the past tense - talking about how a change in strategy in the past has been successful.

Or they demand the low prices from local farmers, putting them out of business.

It's worse than you might think, though. The cost to extract a barrel of oil in Russia is quite high. There are so many numbers out there it's hard to say exactly how much, but ~$50 per barrel for extraction and transport. The loses from not selling refined products is pretty much all the profit.

Fair points.

It's about the "drone wall". The frontline was very much like the trench warfare of WWI. But now the command centres are covered with TV screens of live views of the front, watching for Russian advances, which they try to eliminate with drones. Artillery is hardly used (article doesn't say why).

Thanks

Ah, thank you.

I'm beginning to wonder if it is a bluff. Ukraine is hitting mostly refineries, fuel depots and explosive production. Why fly a tonne of explosive to site that is full of stuff that already likes to go bang and only needs a comparitively small ignition device?

Now? They've been bombing themselves from day one 😁

What probably happened is the last person he spoke said, "but what if they attack ...." insert country, could be Poland, Hungry, Slovakia, anything really. Now that is all that is in his head.

Although this comes up from time to time, and I agree with you, there seems to be no sign that they actually will do this. They are signatories to the NPT and it would be a huge threat to Russia if they withdrew from it, but they don't. Maybe the risk of losing Western support is too high.

What an excellent comparison.

Came here for this.

Meanwhile, Ukraine sent drones 2000 km into Russia for the first time. They didn't explode, thus time.

Its not though. He's just kicking the can down the road again.

I hadn't spotted that. We can only guess, flip out/in of armed to get a bang? We know it says "armed" so it is a exploding variety. One thing that I do know is that these things go wrong and sometimes, when people are make thing that only has to work once, they sometines don't take much trouble

I think they intended to detonate it as soon as it landed among the missiles. At the point it says "armed mode" at the top. Something must have gone wrong and they couldn't detonate. The video is edited and jumps ahead. It says "unarmed mode" at the top after that jump.

Oh sorry, haha, I see what you mean.

I doubt it affects the military much. You only need to bring a refueling tanker there to carry on.

? Ukraine is shooting down 00s of them everyday. Laser weapons are in later stages development with prototypes already tested.

The absolute state of the US…

You mean, when everyone rushed to do bugger all, except save their own skins because business is business?
You use the logical fallacy of "appeal to obvious truth." You don't have anything to offer that is evidential, only unproven assumption. There is no strategy. That's the problem.

Might be stinkbugs.

I don't think these can be bedbugs as they don't swarm. Anyone know what they are?

Plan? I love the way conspiracy theorists think that "there is a plan". My dear friend, we are, in the West, incompetent fools that do not that a plan. That is the simple truth. Germany had the Schlieffen Plan. It was a plan that is much underrated, because it included destroying Russia.
