Ukraine Always Get What You Want

Billy's ears just perked up and he doesn't know why.

 

I dunno. A strategy which involves making an entire civilian population freeze in the dark sounds right up their alley.

 

Sanctions appear to be taking a heavy toll on Russian civil aviation.

"Nearly one in seven Embraer planes in Russia’s fleet of 21 have failed amid conditions of Russian operations."

OK, I know there isn't supposed to be math, but how can you answer 21 divided by 7 but less than 3 with anything other than TWO?

 

Abbott and Costello math:

 

The gales of November turned gloomy on the Black Sea, and it might change some of the calculus of the war in Ukraine.

I wonder how this could have possibly happened?

"Marianna Budanova is the wife of Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the military intelligence agency that is known in Ukrainian as GUR for short. Her condition was confirmed to The Associated Press by Andrii Yusov, the agency's spokesman.

Yusov did not provide more details about the alleged poisoning, nor did he say if it was believed to have been intended for Budanov or whether Russia was thought to be behind it. Earlier this year, he told Ukrainian media that military intelligence chief had survived 10 assassination attempts carried out by the Russian state security service, or FSB.

Previously, Budanov had also told local media that his wife lives with him in his office, which could suggest he was the intended target for the poisoning."

The Ukrainian secret service has twice hit Russian railroads thousands of miles deep into Russia, disrupting arms shipments from China and North Korea.

What is the quality of those North Korean weapons? If they’re anything like their early rockets, maybe that’s not such a bad thing that the Russians never get them.

 

I'd be more worried about the quality of Russian tunnel repair.

 

Artillery shells for sure, perhaps small arms. I don't know how good their drones and anti-tank rockets are, but the Norks just put a satellite into orbit. They have competent engineers and spys. The arty shells by themselves are very big if they are available in quantity. I'd be surprised if they don't have an awful lot of them. Sell Russia the old stock, keep the new production.
