Too incompetent to target is a hell of an epitaph for a Terminal Major.

"No stupid rules of engagement"

🇺🇦 Fedorov: Last week, I worked at the front for several days. I met with the commanders of corps and groups, brigade commanders.

1️⃣ We are launching a basic minimum provision of drones to brigades. We are also working on centralized provision of the army with Starlinks and pickup trucks.

2️⃣ Loss audit. We are starting an analysis of each loss on the battlefield. The audit will help identify key problems and make management decisions for their systematic solution. Human capital is the highest value.

💥 In the Kursk and Slobozhansk directions, RUBpAK "Aquila" operators of the "Steel Border" brigade worked on enemy targets: they destroyed 6 shelters, 4 antennas, 2 cars and an occupant.

Is it bad if a retired General is making things up?

I think having one pet expert on such an important subject is not good for the Euro public. Branch out, folks.

The cheese trick alone was worth it. 🤣

OEF hinted and OIF proved this to me.

And that's the tension in NatSec and FP that must be accommodated to be actually good and not an ideological simp.

👀 Zelensky: "Putin has already shown what kind of ally he is in Syria, when, in principle, they were unable to help the Assad regime. They have demonstrated their weakness now, that is, they are worthless as allies. Iran, I think, is a good signal for Putin to see how dictatorship ends."

The Russians clearly understand that they will not be able to hold them and the moment will come when we will squeeze them out of these territories. Therefore, this is not a gift," the president replied during a conversation with journalists.

More and more Russian propagandists are saying that Russia could be next after Iran.

Propagandist Karnaukhov thinks that after Iran, "a country that is falling apart before our very eyes," the same scenario with massive attacks awaits Russia.

AD is less technology and more practice and implementation. Ukraine has that.
