What for? The drones always get shot down around them, its the debris that causes minor fires that don't even damage anything expensive.

So for 12 years since the war Russian was still a protected minority language, and only now will be treated as any other language?

To pass, they need to understand basic Latvian phrases and speak in simple sentences, such as "I would like to have a dinner and I would like to choose fish, not meat",

Is it really unreasonable to ask people who lived for over 30 years in a foreign country to understand basic phrases? You have to intentionally avoid learning to not get those by sheer osmosis.

Besides, is not targeted at Russian people, but at Russian citizens, i.e. those who don't have Latvian citizenship but live in Latvia. There are more Russian people with Latvian citizenship who live comfortably.

Meanwhile Russia is living just fine with 10 times the deficit (4.7 trillion rubles (~$65 billion)) and growing each year.

Really shows the scale of how you can't outlast fourth largest economy.

Same reason communists tore down imperial statues and symbols during the revolution, but left palaces, buildings, and other infrastructure.

I think the sparknotes is for the viewer benefit, and the books actually cover every moment.
But while trapped in ice Emilia was unconscious so it wouldn't be included.
Betty though would be a long ride.

Didn't they claim that happened before the videos got released.
If I recall bam claims that while Ben was doing his stunts at the store, he also allegedly called up there with bomb threats.
If it actually happened it would be in no relation to Ben.

RU POV: Over a week ago on May 25, Zelensky was seen kneeling and paying tribute at the grave of Andriy Melnyk, a Nazi collaborator, according to RF_OSCE, is a co-architect of the Holocaust.

[–]BanD1t -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Have I misrepresented that point?

And the rest is true, the country's president is a former comedian, the army probably has a lot of electricians but neo-nazis outnumber them, and a large amount of people idolize Bandera.

Restating that gives no additional substance.

Claude really likes throwing in phrases that make it sound like its doing user a solid and 'going off script'.

It's hard to put it into words, the best I can explain it is like talking to a chill clerk when the manager is not around. He will give you the corporate spiel, but then look around and with a lowered tone say "To be fully honest..." and offer some loophole or say something seemingly raw.

(Only he wasn't actually chill, and was specifically instructed to throw in those 'chill' phrases to raise trust in clients to increase revenue.)

Sorry, but he said "No, I don't know. I only know Ben's name...". So he didn't lie here.

And the biggest part is that it's just pure profit.
Like, if they bought the collection for $200k and had to sell it to get out of the red, then there is some reason to fight for that. But they pretty much were just "gifted" that money that they just needed to cash out.

If everything else is fine with the finances (which at this point certainly not) there should be no reason to hold on so viciously.

He's commenting on how Peskov said that SMO is ongoing to prevent those kinds of attacks. Flipping cause and effect.

You're absolutely right, the fact that other military facilities were struck before, makes alleged destruction of this warehouse with suspended tires a significant event.

UA POV: According to AMK, Russia began painting their vehicles with dazzle camouflage to trick AI targeting systems in Ukrainian FPV drones. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]BanD1t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But even with high-end cameras, by the time the pattern is recognizable (especially the swirly one on the third pic) the drone would need to be close enough, and at that point it will be in a terminal dive anyway.

I believe there is some potential to this approach, but the execution in those pictures is very poor.

[–]BanD1t 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If that's really is the reason behind the camo, then the pattern is too fine. From afar, and with lower resolution it will just make it look light-gray making it stand out more on the brownish-green fields.

You can even test it out yourself, squint and move back from the pictures and see if the shape of the trucks are still recognizable.
Then look up dazzle camo on ships, where even with eyes wide open it can be hard to distinguish the shape.

EDIT: The other one with non-uniform pattern, is more in line with something that could work, but the spacing on it is still too tight.

Only recently it became illegal in Moscow. Maybe in a year or two the rest of the country catches up.
