"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

I took a minute to watch this Wood Duck in Central Park's Pool. He was bossing the male Mallards around, and then a female Mallard came over and gave him hell. He backed down immediately! 😂😂😂 #Ducks #CentralPark #birding

❗️❗️Russia plans to increase its contingent in Ukraine to 800,000 by the end of the year, — Syrskyi

During 2026, the Kremlin wants to recruit more than 400,000 contract soldiers, the commander-in-chief said, so Ukraine has no other choice but to continue the fight and destroy the enemy.

I took his issue to be the "Long War" talking point and its implications. He's calling bullshit on the false gravitas. There has always been a pro war with Iran faction, but its ascendance to prime policy position is new.

This is a really reasonable take to lob at his own crowd. Does he get rational when he melts down?

Anyway, MAGA factions are good. Carry on.

We are working with manufacturers to increase the effectiveness of the use of various models of drone interceptors. We continue to form and train crews of these UAVs. We are equipping air defense divisions of unmanned systems.

Pilots are essential for operating the Russian shadow tanker 'Ethera,' as it was believed the crew would likely resist cooperation in bringing the vessel to the port of Zeebrugge.

• On elections: “If they are held after the war ends, and not during a temporary ceasefire, I am not at all sure that I will run – I will see what the Ukrainians want.”

• On partners: “We have excellent experts in the use of UAVs, and we are ready to share our knowledge with our allies.”

-- was won - not just on the battlefields, but also in the homes and economies, culminating in the Berlin Airlift.)

Nor is it a justification for nastiness in war.

And as long as war and conflict remain a political issue of the public, the failure to fully incorporate tactics and strategies of succor and restoration will haunt effectiveness. (Succor deployed mindfully is a large part of how WWII in WEUR --

Unfortunately, support for the beliefs that undergird this kind of action aren't fringe in the US. Surveys shows that 1/3 of Americans—and ~2/3 of White Evangelical Christians—hold Christian nationalist views, and similar numbers believe that we're living in the end times, with Christ's return near.

Anti-drone nets are now a lifeline in Ukrainian cities&villages close to the frontline.

Russian drones always hunt for vehicles, and these nets protect civilians, medics, Defenders.

The nets need constant maintenance and replacement. They are damaged by drones, explosions, even weather.

The French singing La Marseillaise in a nuclear submarine base is deeply symbolic.

France built its own independent nuclear deterrent after WWII to never again have to suffer a similar humiliation. Now France is offering to ”advance” that deterrent to other European countries.

This feels like a Monty Python bit. 🤦‍♀️

I blame my ancestors for sending you all of our religious fundamentalists.

You are not wrong. 🤣

Old guy retires, you now see conspiracy. WTAF.

He decided not to run and a Republican easily won. I'm not sure what you think you're proving. But he voted with Dems in important ways.

Sinema doesn't have enough record to explain. And I'm not defending her.

You're trying to twist up too much.

I think it's worth pointing out that this kind of thing isn't new. I'm not sure that's better, but this isn't just an affect of SecDef RePete Failure's tenure. Again, I was harassed on extreme Christian views by an O-6 in 2017 - and I was told I had to take it. Trump didn't do that.

It's not new, so there's that. 😬

So. Bad. (See previous post in thread, too. 😬)

My only bright spot is that the serial bankrupt is absolutely capable of popping smoke, breaking contact, declaring V, and leaving. He'll damn the consequences abroad, and bully it through domestically.

Lawrence O'Donnell might have decent political positions, but his show is too often a manel. Fuuuuck that.

Happy Women's History Month!

It's a common field expedient practice to give perspective on size to a person looking at the image. A ruler doesn't hit the visual the same.

I saw this most recently in Ukraine - our guy kept photographing produce with a ciggie pack.

Manchin was no Trojan Horse. WVA is a tough state, and he could win it. Everyone knew what he had to be to hold that seat.

What are your plans for these lovelies?? 😍🤤
