There are some indications of a forthcoming Russian amphibious landing attempt at Odessa (ships moving into position, large number of missile launches). Very high risk for the Russians and would be a catastrophe for them it it fails.

I can't speak Russian but if the subtitle translation in this video is no more than close, then Putin has moved into Stalin-Hitler-Mussolini-Hussein-Amin-Gaddafi mode. He's not even trying to hide it.

China be like:
I wonder if China is second guessing the effectiveness of their own military right now. Some drafts of invading Taiwan being re-evaluated.

China has demonstrated it's logistics to be pretty damn tight in it's response to national disasters like major earthquakes.
Puts the USA to shame. No reason to think that doesn't apply militarily. |

Latest episode of the BBC: The Inquiry podcast is interesting - I'd never heard of The Wagner Group - but they sound like a bunch of guns for hire like the crowd Van Damme ran in the Expendibles. But, you know, IRL. Poor middle aged Russians who joined up to pay their mortgages, and end up as cannon fodder in Syria (Us troops wondered why the inbound raid were chattering in Russian on the open comms) - and now thought to be roaming Kyiv looking to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Someone should play them Arnies video. |

Disagree. China’s lesson from Ukraine is you have to invade with overwhelming force and cut the invaded territory off from the rest of the world immediately.

I don't think China is as retarded logistically as Russia has been. Doesn't mean it would be easy to take Taiwan. Just I don't think betting on the same clumsiness as Russia has demonstrated being a barrier is a good bet. |

Tank rush is great until the opposition pops up around the back with an APC full of engineers that they’ve been hiding in the corner of the map for the last three hours.

Yes yes. Do you suppose they'll need to concentrate those thousands of residents in some sort of camp?

Book recommendation; this book has shaped a lot of my emotional response to the war in Ukraine.

I was surprised to see TV3 had modified their ad break branding. I guess as defacto not the state broadcaster, they could take a political stance.

Interesting take by Risky Business this week. Elon's StarLink may be a legitimate target if he keeps supplying the method for drone strikes to be so effective. The cluster is probably too big to be physically taken out (and the resulting debris cloud would take a long time to clear for other LEO objects) but does explain why he's shifted resources to deal with cyber issues.

Reports today of Russia using white phosphorus. Putin going for a war crime speed run at this rate.
