Ha… russia’s military doesn’t exactly have a history of tactical brilliance either.

Scary part is that their history shows that they’re very good at sending waves of men to fucking die until they win.

Does every ambassador to Japan get a bitchin’ set of samurai armor? I want that job so bad.

Few military twitter people have made exactly this point. Modern air defenses don’t require light and Ukraine sure seems to have them. Also jumping at night remains really fucking hard. My grandpa (former paratrooper) still complains about that shit.

Don’t need to be an ambassador to get your hands on samurai armor. Just go to any antique shop in Japan.

How much does an antique set of armor cost these days?

Surely we would have seen Jon Huntsman modeling his.

Sorry, best we can do is Rahm Emanuel.

Like any antique item it ranges from near worthless junk to priceless treasure depending on quality, condition, historical significance, etc.

Looks like a decent set for 26k. Probably cheaper in Japan.

they cannot possibly be jumping. they are dropping them off helicopters to secure the airport “die hard 2” style

They’re in planes right? At least that’s what I’ve seen. I assume that means they’re jumping but will gladly say I know nothing.

Based on Ukrainian reports it sounds like they’re not jumping or landing. They’re crashing.

yeah it sounds like they are still hoping to get control of an airfield long enough to land the il76. it’s still very risky, but at least it’s not jumping in the middle of the night

crashing is just a type of landing

there’s an 'in soviet Russia, something something you!" joke but I don’t quite got it

You’ve heard of fuck you money? How about go fuck yourself money?

Pelosi had suggested $600M, Biden aiming higher.
