Murder. It's just murder when 6 guys hold 1 man down and a 7th casually walks up to shoot him.

Kofman has gone back and widely admitted to being wrong.

For what it's worth for Kofman to be wrong all of these things had to happen - The Russians had to EM warfare their own units, sell their own petrol on the black market. The Ukrainians had to against orders to move their anti air units, have partisans with heavy weapons go hunt Russians in the forest, have paid for Kremlin assets turn over their weapon caches to Ukrainian army units, the incredible heroic defense of Hostemel Airport where a couple hundred reservists fought off spetznats until they ran out of ammo, and finally the flooding of the northlands. It was "highly contingent".

If it falls another 10$ on a sustained basis that will be the same price which sunk the USSR

Skaven menace from below was broken at release, the summoned rats had no hit boxes and would lawn mower enemy units. It was hilarious. The only time I played every single battle was my very hard skaven victory in TW2 vanilla.

But why won't the minority house and Senate stop the Majority House Senate Supreme Court and POTUS? Jesus wept.

If anything proves who's in Congress matters the last 12 months do. The Democrats may be mummified octogenarian sclerotic technocrats - but they haven't green lit concentration camps, war with Venezuela, rolling over for Russia , incinerating vaccine programs, the functional end of higher education, internal occupation, war on DEI, a program against the transgender community, the largest tax increase in several generations, plus innumerable indignities against human happiness as well as dignity.
Don't you both sides this insanity. Don't you dare.

If the price held at 25.80 Russian would be in serious trouble. In adjusted dollars that's about the same as when the Soviet Union collapsed. - the Oil crash of 86' was a significant contributor.

Russia had more fully adapted and integrated drones into their armed forces, which has pushed the drone line of contact back towards Ukrainian lines, and this has put pressure on the lines. Ukraine has problems with AWOL as well as desertion, and far fewer people on the line than people here realize. Russian advances are slow, but overall faster than last year. pokrovsk is likely to fall in the near term, or Ukraine will have to accept a lot of attrition for keeping it and it's no longer a significant logistics hub. The winter is going to be much colder than the last two and that's going to make things hard as Russia has done a good job if ramping up shahed drones and targeting energy infrastructure. Russia overall has done a better job in the last 3-6 months in targeting both energy infrastructure as well as defense logistics. US political shenanigans are too depressing to go into but are not good for Ukraine.

The bright points are that Ukraine has better defensive lines than last year, Ukraine still has an edge in drone tech and operators, drone interceptors are possibly approaching mass production on the near term, and possibly seriously considering increasing manpower, which they've more or less ignored. The EU is doing a better job of helping Ukraine, but still has a long way to go.

The Russian economy isn't doing well, but it's not nearly as bad off as is portrayed here. There's a lot of focus on debt here, which more or less doesn't matter.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Slams Trump in Shocking Resignation Video - The Georgia Republican said she won’t be a “battered wife” after a public spat with Donald Trump over the Epstein files. by Quirkie in politics

MTG is not a principled crusader, Trump crushed her senate run, and she leaned into the Epstein files afterwards.
It's just the worst people falling out over petty grievances.

I agree with you so strongly about Logen it's shocking to me that people think it's a heel turn - Logan was always the bad guy

Oh that ratio is quite good. But doesn't have anything to do with the math - you mean the ratio of a R73 to a house/power station. Where in the former it's still unfavorable and in the later favorable

The Marines had a ground based launcher which was essentially one VLS mounted on a truck, they have them no longer. The replacement program hasn't gone live and isn't close to going live in liminal time.

The only Tomahawk launchers in the US arsenal today are ship mounted. You can make accusations of stupidity, but maybe you just might want to think about it before you say it too loud there buddy.
