And after the child is born? How much help will families in poverty receive after their forced birth?
Is that the deafening sound of crickets?

They don’t have to “consider” it. A proposal on the floor and a committee on it is how that works.

Doesn't matter. Trump didn't show. All the committee needed to show was non compliance, which they did. They knew he was never going to comply.
Over on r/conservative they are touting this as a win that somehow exonerates trump.

It seems kind of like a win for Trump tbh. A loss for America but a win for those with her in their crosshairs.

Congressional subpoenas are toothless formalities, since there's no enforcement element associated. It's basically a way of saying "show up or you'll look even worse in the DOJ's eyes." The DOJ can submit a summons of their own that actually has weight later. This means nothing.

Um, so I've had this come up in classes and just for the record:
In order to write laws it also needs to investigate, so the Supreme Court recognized Congress's power to issue subpoenas. These have force.
Congressional subpoenas aren't unlimited and have to be shown to have "legitimate legislative purpose." They can't investigate someone for politics or even just showing violations of law. This is generally a sticky part, you have to be able to show it has legislative purpose.
Punishment for ignoring a subpoena starts with holding the person in contempt of Congress. Either the House or Senate can do this, it doesn't need both.
After contempt is filed against a recalcitrant witness, they can ask the US Federal Attorney to bring criminal charges, or the branches own sergeant-at-arms can find and detain them, or file a civil suit leading to daily contempt fines and imprisonment.
It's rare, but it has happened and can happen and all our laws say so -- it's only toothless if they're choosing it to be or if they're afraid they'll be giving a win in another area, such as not being able to show they're not running afoul of #2.
Trump had sued to block it, but the panel is pretty much done at this point after issuing it's final report a week ago in what was likely it's last meeting as it's set to dissolve on Jan 3rd.

This is just a ho-hum news item sexed-up in order to create drama. Of course the House is going to drop the subpoenas, they don’t have time to let them wend their way through the court system. Better the DOJ take up the subpoenas anyway. They’re much more enforceable.

As sick as I am of no one being held accountable, I’m even sicker of the BS used to justify this continued inaction. Apparently, nobody learned anything after refusing to hold a war criminal who stole at least one presidential election accountable in the spirit of Kumbaya. That, or the daughter of said election thief’s/war criminal’s running mate intended to get a president whose agenda she mostly agreed with off the hook all along.

Day 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.
The long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage.
Though I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.
They have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.
Some good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.

That's nowhere near the 120+ as reported earlier?

Their missile production rate is likely the number that matters.
They would not take the stockpile to zero before an army was enroute to Moscow.

Electricity is very cheap these days. Wind and hydroelectric are pushing down prices to a fraction of the cost. Barely any natural gas is being used for electricity production December is hotter than usual. Natural gas reserves are averaging around 83% across Europe, only 10% drop since peak value. Futures gas prices were already projected to drop below prewar levels in 2023 but it seems it will go faster than expected. Great news overall.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack.

My take is now that the Patriot missile decision has settled in and Russia is doing nothing we can start ramping up to the next level. Its all about planting seeds and making moves.
If we say bradleys can go than they will take a few months to move. That gives us March or April which is great for them.

This war has been excellent for anti corruption efforts at least if you want a silver lining. More anti-corruption regulations and corrupt politicians have been rendered in Ukraine since Febuary than Zelensky's entire term preceding. Rooting out the blatant traitors and stoke nationalistic sentiment when existentially threatened with genocide.

The war has made it easier to carry out these acts as now there is less resistance. Before the war, the pro Russia elements, politicians, media, businessmen, churches etc had power, propanganda, influence behind them so it wasn't easy to root them out and they were treated lightly and with kid gloves. Now those gloves are off.
If you are still pro Russia now and actively doing something about it, then you have only yourself to blame.

Great that western leadership gets to experience this stuff first hand, maybe it might lead to accelerated decisions on military and other aid.
Nothing like having your life at risk to understand why Ukrainian lives should be better protected and the army supported.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

The Russians launched guided missiles in several waves
The head of Mykolayiv OVA Vitaly Kim reminds Ukrainians that it is absolutely impermissible to record arrivals.
"I would like to remind you that the missiles are controlled in several queues - this means that it is absolutely forbidden to film the arrivals. Today, the Armed Forces will set a new record for shooting down," the message reads.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also appealed to Ukrainians. [photo of forbidden activities showing reminders]
As of 8am, an air alert has been declared in all regions of Ukraine, except temporarily occupied Crimea.
Several missiles have already been shot down by air defense forces.
Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the President's Office, reports that more than 100 missiles are expected in several waves.

It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

Another one? I'm having a hard time keeping track, so many of Putin's men keep dying suddenly.
"Second Russian Defense Sector Bigwig Dies in Two Days."
The former army general previously commanded Russia’s ground troops, and died just two days after Vladimir Putin abruptly canceled a planned visit.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

Air Force: cruise missiles incoming [not drones] from different directions.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

Every Russian man should do it.
It's a lesser sentence than deserting or evading conscription.
Then again they'll probably go with the fine in most cases, and then not pay the poor fucker to garnish his wages when conscripted.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

Zelensky literally went in front of US congress and talked about it and gave them a flag from it's defenders, it's definitly not "unsung"(those major unsung victories imo still go to some of the troops stopping the advance east of kyiv in the early days of the war as well as the defense of Mykolaiv in the south)

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

Or lean into it. Make Ukraine war proof (as much as is possible) harden every building and piece of infrastructure, repurpose the economy as the war forge of Europe if that's what the people want over aesthetics. It doesn't matter to me either way so long as Ukraine chose it themselves without duress or manipulation.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage.

It's interesting that Yesterday's much larger barrage appeared to have such little success (with what seems to be a lot of malfunctions), so they followed it up with a much smaller drone attack.
Is there any logic to this? Maybe probing for weaknesses?

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

They don't care as long as it doesn't affect them personally. Putin has calculated that the war will remain popular with ethnic, white Russians (those living around Moscow and St. Petersburg) as long as mobilization affects ethnic minorities only. If the people around Moscow or St. Petersburg remain largely unaffected or apathetic, then Putin's chances of being reassigned to a window seat are slim to none.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

From an interview w a Ukrainian fighter pilot:
What is the most lacking in our military aviation? People, equipment, or in the [aviation] complex?
The first thing we need is to increase the range that our radar and sighting systems can see. The second is air-to-air guided vehicles with a much longer range than we currently have. So we really need F-16s that can support our needs in that.
^(Something else he points out is how Putin didn’t decree/declare war, how he was sneeky, duplicitous. It reminded me of how Americans found the surprise attack on Dec 7, 1941 to be the most shameful, ignominious, dishonorable act in history. Not because of cruelty. Because it’s dishonorable to not officially wage war. To attack from behind. Roosevelt declared it “the day that will live in infamy” bc it was seen as downright evil and abdication of all honor to surprise attack. Thats what Russia did. And the population doesn’t even know they’re at war. Regardless, they deserve generations of shame for both the manner in which they cowardly failed to declare war, and of course their despicable, satanic war crimes.)

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",

Because it’s dishonorable to not officially wage war. To attack from behind. Roosevelt declared it “the day that will live in infamy” bc it was seen as downright evil and abdication of all honor to surprise attack. Thats what Russia did.

">\n\nPrevious post\nDay 309 of my updates from Kharkiv.\nThe long awaited next big missile strike finally happened and it really wasn’t anything special, the number of missiles that was expected was vastly overblown, as it wasn’t the 120+ missiles that everyone was talking about, but only 69 and some Shaheds along with them. It doesn’t seem that it did too much damage to our infrastructure, the problems with electricity are not widespread right now, and some blackouts are not due to the missile strike, but because some cities turned off electricity as preventive measures to lessen any possible damage. \nThough I don’t think it’s the end of missile strikes for today yet, as just recently there was a second missile strike aimed at Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure, and apparently it wasn’t done by an S-300 missile, but a cruise missile, which they usually do not use on Kharkiv, because they can use the cheaper and more abundant S-300 missiles for it. Some people reported electricity being cut after that missile strike, but for us it’s stable for now. We had it the entire day with basically no interruptions despite the missile strike, though it did flicker for a couple of seconds right after the first missiles landed in Kharkiv in the morning.\nThey have been trying to destroy Kharkiv’s energy infrastructure starting from yesterday evening, when they launched 13 Shaheds at us, thankfully 11 of them were intercepted and it doesn’t look like the rest did any significant damage. Then they fired 4 S-300 missiles at us in the morning, which didn’t do much, and one of the missiles landed in a swamp, where it belongs. They did a third strike at our infrastructure about an hour or so ago, sadly they killed 1 civilian and injured 2 more with it, fucking terrorist scum.\nSome good news is that while they were firing missiles at us the whole morning our forces didn’t sit idly, Russians reported that one of their S-300 launchers was destroyed by our strike right in the middle of the missile attack. There were also a bunch of other attacks on Russian positions on their side of the border, as well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.",
">\n\n\nas well as another strike on Engels airbase, though I’m pretty sure this time they did actually manage to intercept our drone.\n\nReports emerging that russia shot down one of their own aircraft, killing the pilot.",
">\n\nVery bright was that sword when it was made whole again; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, its edge was hard and keen. And Aragorn gave it a new name and called it Andúril, Flame of the West",
">\n\nThat's nowhere near the 120+ as reported earlier?",
">\n\nArestovych clarified that the total capacity of detected missile carriers (planes and warships) added up to 120, but they're either running low or that many missiles malfunctioned.",
">\n\nMass attack has begun, first missiles enter Sumy region :(( Gonna charge my phones and fill the bath.\nedit: also Kharkiv, Kyiv and Poltava regions",
">\n\nGodspeed stay safe and get through this.",
">\n\nI wonder what the latest estimates of Russias missile stockpile is. It's been a week or 2 since I saw a count pop up.",
">\n\nTheir missile production rate is likely the number that matters. \nThey would not take the stockpile to zero before an army was enroute to Moscow.",
">\n\nElectricity is very cheap these days. Wind and hydroelectric are pushing down prices to a fraction of the cost. Barely any natural gas is being used for electricity production December is hotter than usual. Natural gas reserves are averaging around 83% across Europe, only 10% drop since peak value. Futures gas prices were already projected to drop below prewar levels in 2023 but it seems it will go faster than expected. Great news overall.",
">\n\nBesides the higher temperatures. Might be good for things on this front but something we still have to work on.",

">\n\nFinally.\nI've been stumped why these haven't been in discussion long before Abrams. Should have been a focus since the start.",
">\n\nMy take is now that the Patriot missile decision has settled in and Russia is doing nothing we can start ramping up to the next level. Its all about planting seeds and making moves. \nIf we say bradleys can go than they will take a few months to move. That gives us March or April which is great for them.",
">\n\nThis war has been excellent for anti corruption efforts at least if you want a silver lining. More anti-corruption regulations and corrupt politicians have been rendered in Ukraine since Febuary than Zelensky's entire term preceding. Rooting out the blatant traitors and stoke nationalistic sentiment when existentially threatened with genocide.",
">\n\nThe war has made it easier to carry out these acts as now there is less resistance. Before the war, the pro Russia elements, politicians, media, businessmen, churches etc had power, propanganda, influence behind them so it wasn't easy to root them out and they were treated lightly and with kid gloves. Now those gloves are off. \nIf you are still pro Russia now and actively doing something about it, then you have only yourself to blame.",
">\n\nNew air alert\nStarting from 5:33am, the air alert spread from the southern regions of Ukraine.\nAs of 06:04, the alarm covered almost all regions, except for the western ones.\nSouth reported that the enemy had put 2 surface missile carriers on combat duty in the Black Sea. 16 calibers at readiness.",
">\n\nI look forward to the day one of these blows while launching and takes a ship with it.",
">\n\nGreat that western leadership gets to experience this stuff first hand, maybe it might lead to accelerated decisions on military and other aid.\nNothing like having your life at risk to understand why Ukrainian lives should be better protected and the army supported.",
">\n\nWow, I don’t know shit about stingers etc. But do I see it right, this was a split second decision from noticing the missile to firing the stinger?",
">\n\nRussia could have been a part of the Artemis Accords and put its resources and power toward creation and discovery instead of destruction. \nWe could have been building castles on the moon together. But instead Putin is leading us all to ruin and despair.\nWhat a tyrant. 😵",
">\n\nWhy would you want castles on the moon? What are they to defend against... no, you want moon palaces",
">\n\n\nWhat are they to defend against...\n\nMoon bears.",
">\n\nBetter than having to deal with the inter-galactic wizard alliance.",
">\n\nThe Russians launched guided missiles in several waves\nThe head of Mykolayiv OVA Vitaly Kim reminds Ukrainians that it is absolutely impermissible to record arrivals.\n\n\"I would like to remind you that the missiles are controlled in several queues - this means that it is absolutely forbidden to film the arrivals. Today, the Armed Forces will set a new record for shooting down,\" the message reads.\n\nThe Ministry of Internal Affairs also appealed to Ukrainians. [photo of forbidden activities showing reminders]\nAs of 8am, an air alert has been declared in all regions of Ukraine, except temporarily occupied Crimea.\nSeveral missiles have already been shot down by air defense forces.\nOleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the President's Office, reports that more than 100 missiles are expected in several waves.",

">\n\nThe audacity of that reporter to suggest that Italy must do something to appease Russia because they must miss the tourists.\nNice verbal beat down by the PM",
">\n\nThis is awesome, necessary, and a sign of a nation that recognizes the humanity and struggle in one another.\nThey're enduring this together.",
">\n\nAnother one? I'm having a hard time keeping track, so many of Putin's men keep dying suddenly. \n\"Second Russian Defense Sector Bigwig Dies in Two Days.\"\n\nThe former army general previously commanded Russia’s ground troops, and died just two days after Vladimir Putin abruptly canceled a planned visit.",

">\n\nAnother one bites the dust",

">\n\nAir Force: cruise missiles incoming [not drones] from different directions. \n\n\"December 29. Massive missile attack. In addition, there is a high activity of tactical aviation of the occupiers.

">\n\nukraine can expect this kind of barrages once per 2/3weeks otherwise they would run out of missless, just give them some weapons so they can have higher percentage of destroyed missles",

">\n\nWhat a great article. Thank you for sharing.",
">\n\nEvery Russian man should do it.\nIt's a lesser sentence than deserting or evading conscription.\nThen again they'll probably go with the fine in most cases, and then not pay the poor fucker to garnish his wages when conscripted.",
">\n\nGet thrown in prison, get sent to the Frontline anyway as Prisoner cannon-fodder.",
">\n\nThat is an insane fucking shot, the cheers are warranted",
">\n\nThe resistance of Bakhmut is one of the unsung victories of this war so far. I am absolutely stunned by the resilience and strategic preparation of the UAF",
">\n\nZelensky literally went in front of US congress and talked about it and gave them a flag from it's defenders, it's definitly not \"unsung\"(those major unsung victories imo still go to some of the troops stopping the advance east of kyiv in the early days of the war as well as the defense of Mykolaiv in the south)",
">\n\nAs an American myself I only hope that after the war, assuming a UA victory, Zelensky didn't have to make too many promises he can't afford to break. I am cheering for a Ukraine that gets to forge its own destiny and build its own economy without having to choke down too many opportunists post war hell bent on profiting from the rebuild.",
">\n\nWhat a rebuild it could be-no more Soviet era tower blocks if you don’t want them.",
">\n\nOr lean into it. Make Ukraine war proof (as much as is possible) harden every building and piece of infrastructure, repurpose the economy as the war forge of Europe if that's what the people want over aesthetics. It doesn't matter to me either way so long as Ukraine chose it themselves without duress or manipulation.",
">\n\nIf we want Ukraine to be war-proof, we let them into NATO. Notice Russia never tries to invade actual NATO countries, it's always the neighbors that aren't in NATO.",
">\n\nExplosions in Kyiv, but air defense working\nUpdate: Klitschko confirms air defense in the first wave",
">\n\nReally hope air defenses keep going strong !",
">\n\nSometimes sounds of explosions come from the air, meaning AD work. But there's no definite way to distinguish",
">\n\nIt's interesting that Yesterday's much larger barrage appeared to have such little success (with what seems to be a lot of malfunctions), so they followed it up with a much smaller drone attack.\nIs there any logic to this? Maybe probing for weaknesses?",
">\n\nIt was reported that upon analysis of the destroyed missiles they were only manufactured hastily w/i the past year. Militaries normally will fire their oldest munitions first, and that means that not only are the Russians running low on their inventories, but their product is seeing huge misfires.",
">\n\nAs usual - command ran away sending additional troops to be safe.",
">\n\nHoly crap, big losses for the Russians on today’s report. It breaks the mind trying to comprehend how the Russian people can allow this lunacy to continue.",
">\n\nMost of them don’t know what happens in Ukraine nor the losses suffered.",
">\n\nThey don't care as long as it doesn't affect them personally. Putin has calculated that the war will remain popular with ethnic, white Russians (those living around Moscow and St. Petersburg) as long as mobilization affects ethnic minorities only. If the people around Moscow or St. Petersburg remain largely unaffected or apathetic, then Putin's chances of being reassigned to a window seat are slim to none.",
