Thank you so much. Partners Clinic is a really big deal. It’s not often something like that pops up, and we have the chance to see it through. Unlimited potential, and everyone involved is a lifetime organizer, not a careerist who’ll leave it unfinished.

Still mad over that time the Vikings attacked Constantinople, I see.

That’s pure joy. Or rage. Or possibly gas.

pretty much overnight, UA channels have started talking Azov having already written themselves into military history, and future textbooks. Pretty hard to deny. 80 days of defense. almost 60 days of complete blockade. hundreds of civilians evacuated. Now they might (5% chance right now, maybe?) get an extraction done by a turkish ship by sea. apparently that happens sometimes, the extracted garrison agrees to no longer participate in battles until after peace is signed. Azov would defintiely take that deal, RU probably wouldn’t.

Hasn’t Russia already rejected this several times?

just you average legislative party, completely in love with its leader, having a normal friday session.

afaik from arestovich interviews, the proposed plans were mostly airlifts by UA of the dead and wounded. third parties were never asked to remove able defenders.

I am pretty sure I have read about this specific offer by Turkey being rejected several days ago.

possibly. this is just info noise right now. i am still hoping azov and ua marines make it out.

Holy shit! Russian troops with M1891 rifles. 1891 as in the year these 5 shot bolt action rifles were first put into service.

AKs are too dangerous for them to revolt with

So instead, they get a re-bolt, amirite? Get it? Re-bolt?

if you torture the pixels enough from all the intelligence agencies, you can almost convince yourself that contested territory could in a few weeks break the land bridge to crimea.

According to this:

The howitzers were Soviet-made, and thus probably in the Ukrainian army since the beginning, but it’s hard to know for sure how to take the report. The presence of American artillery in this attack is the sort of thing the Ukrainians would want to keep secret.

Don’t know if this is accurate, but it’s definitely interesting if Ukraine can ping Russian troops. Bring your car, leave your phone.

Maybe Maxim was in civilian life a local Verizon store assistant manager.
