I figured hey it’s the Fog of War. Nobody has any idea what’s really going on. What a great time to try out my new smoke machine!

Thankfully, my faith in your mental faculties still being intact has been restored!

Carry on, Soldier!   :geekdanc: :thumbsup:

Used as martyrs for the US empire / NATO proxy war with Russia in their would-be client state Ukraine, the surviving soldiers of Zmiinyi Island (Snake Island), who were abandoned by Kiev, officially pronounced "dead" by the Ukrainian government, and being awarded "posthumous" medals, speak out in their own words about the whole situation.

Going back to what Rocky mentioned about Russia claiming Ukraine and how now they would still be surrounded by NATO missiles, would these missile be capable of reaching key targets in Russia (Moscow)?  Which would mean Putin's excuse to invade would be moot.

And Putin's actions are causing a refugee crisis, civilians being killed and cities being destroyed.

While the world has become more civilized unfortunately in some ways not so much.  IMO, it got worse.  Greed and Hate has not changed much especially in world leaders.

Another is being open minded and objective.  It made some progress but still a long way to go.

I think these missiles can still reach key areas in Russia regardless if Ukraine is conquered or not.  I think Putin just wants breathing room.

And I also think he wants to use Ukraine as a buffer for invaders.  Like the point man on a combat patrol everyone knows who will most likely get whacked first. 

And maybe he just wants Ukraine on his side of the fence.  Even in dysfunctional families where everyone squabbles and fights, they are still family.  He looks at Ukraine as his troublesome little brother.

Putin is a gangster. He is reasonable enough that you can do business with him, but when someone crosses him there is no hesitation. NATO should have been disbanded long ago. There was no reason to provoke this escalation other than a failing administration distracting from their self inflicted public health disaster. Now we’re going to have $12 a gallon of gas and food rationing.

Anyone who voted for Biden owes the rest of us an apology

Putin got himself in a fine mess that he may never be able to extract his nation from.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sanctions-will-cause-a-russian-depression-bill-browder-204906566.html

WW2 taught Russia what it means to have enemies at the gates. The Russian people know what suffering, starvation and death mean. Now, however, they will know what a Great Depression will bring. No currency, few exports, and food lines for the scraps remaining. When you have a bear at the wall, he has nothing to do but claw at the world. My latest prediction is that interference by Poland will lead to the use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia against NATO.

Putin is increasingly operating emotionally and likely to use all the weapons at his disposal, including nuclear ones. It’s important not to have any illusions — but equally important not to lose hope.
“Every time you think, ’No, he wouldn’t, would he?’ Well, yes, he would,” Hill said. “And he wants us to know that, of course. It’s not that we should be intimidated and scared…. We have to prepare for those contingencies and figure out what is it that we’re going to do to head them off.”

Historians will be arguing about this oft-used opinion by weapon holders: Nukes don't kill people. People kill people.
OK, give me a suitcase nuke, and trust me with the fate of the world.

Aren't these the same journalists who told us that Trump was a tyrant who was going to crash the economy, start WW3, and usher in a new era of racist fascism?

Apple announces response to Russian invasion of Ukraine

Apple released a statement outlining their response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including a pause on sales and exports to Russia.

"We are deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stand with all of the people who are suffering as a result of the violence. We are supporting humanitarian efforts, providing aid for the unfolding refugee crisis, and doing all we can to support our teams in the region," the company said Tuesday.

"We have taken a number of actions in response to the invasion. We have paused all product sales in Russia. Last week, we stopped all exports into our sales channel in the country. Apple Pay and other services have been limited. RT News and Sputnik News are no longer available for download from the App Store outside Russia. And we have disabled both traffic and live incidents in Apple Maps in Ukraine as a safety and precautionary measure for Ukrainian citizens.

We will continue to evaluate the situation and are in communication with relevant governments on the actions we are taking. We join all those around the world who are calling for peace."

That's not a political viewpoint.  That's a business decision.  Nobody is going to ship products into countries actively engaging in war.  They would be inviting massive losses for their company.

Making such an announcement and censoring Russia-related content is virtue signaling at its finest.

Reporter to Hyena: WHat's going on in Ukraine
Hyena: Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exist  next to a country called Russia. It's a smaller country. So a bigger country is invading a smaller one. Which is wrong.

Also that Iraq had WMD's, Russia collusion, Ukraine collusion, the list goes on and on.

Also IDF joined in too according to the news, on Ukraine's behalf Seems like ukraine is doing a whole lot better than expected, given the initial numbers troops vs troops, aircraft's vs aircraft's etc. They are holding their own and thats good.  :thumbsup:

Well I figured id post here.. ammo specifically 9, 223/556, 22lr is no longer walk in at security. (Not sure if .22lr was walk in recently but the others were). I think 12Ga and 357 mag as well is back to the LIST. Since this has to do with the war.  :(

I was hella excited cause theres WAS a 90 percent chance I was gonna go range this month since I have leave coming up. So I wanted to go get more 22lr and fmj to plink with.. Nope not anymore. My 90 percent significantly dropped to bout 40 percent. Damnit all to hell

Since IDF is supporting Ukraine, now we will see the left support Russia. Since they're not a fan of Israel/jews.
