Hmm maybe idk, could be a host thing too, maybe its something imgur does or the users upload video files to be presented as GIFs, I don't know anymore.
I don't know anymore.
You and me both so.
Still frame from the video linked few pages ago (https://twitter.com/NovedadDeFrente/status/1679752802984132608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1679752802984132608%7Ctwgr%5E4152ef61a35eb86136212f53cf06ce3f1c6f9095%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boards.ie%2Fdiscussion%2F2058195983%2Frussia-threadbanned-users-in-op%2Fp3263):
He got a woeful smack on the head. Can't have done him any good.
What is all the smoke on the ground before the missile takes off?
(We are looking at a missile on the ground targeting a Ukrainian drone which is filming all this?)
btw how long is that SAM missile? ( a metre?) How expensive,how many does Russia have?
What's the word for calibration in Russian
It is the Russian Berserko - B1a missile. So called because it goes berserk before it makes up its mind what to do.
Even so, if that's all he gets, he will still be a very lucky man!!!
Another video of Russians complaining about lack of ammo. Looks like the attacks on the rear logistical hubs may be bearing fruit:
You’d wonder what they’ll do next to take attention off the war. Less than 3k people out of 146m legally changed their gender in 6 years.
Russia's lower house of parliament has passed a new law banning gender reassignment surgery, in the latest attack on LGBT rights in the country.
The State Duma approved the bill, which will also ban people changing their genders on state documents, on Friday.
It now needs approval from the upper house and President Vladimir Putin, moves normally seen as formalities.
Speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said the bill would "protect our citizens and our children".
In a telegram post on Friday, Mr Volodin also called gender-affirming surgery a "path to the degeneration of the nation".
"We are the only European country that opposes all that is happening in the States, in Europe and does everything to save families and traditional values," he said during the debate on Friday. "And we need to understand that there won't be any future if we don't adopt the law, if we don't ban gender change."
Fresh amendments added to the bill on Friday during its final reading included banning individuals who have undergone gender changes from adopting children, and annulling marriages where one party had undergone gender reassignment.
According to the Russian interior ministry, 2,990 people legally changed gender between 2016 and 2022. The country has a population of 146 million.
The latest attack comes just a day after Russia's internal security service, the FSB, announced that it had arrested a transgender rights activist on charges of treason for supporting Ukraine.
In footage carried by the state-run RIA Novosti news agency, the man was seen being slammed into a wall by armed officers clad in tactical gear, before being driven away in a van.
The agency alleged he had donated to OVD-info, a human rights monitoring organisation banned in Russian in 2021 under its foreign agents laws.
I'd say that's mostly about garnering western right wing support from the CPAC types.
Regarding Biden notifying reserve troops to get ready for deployment of 3,000 reservists, and 450 Individual Ready Reserve (IRR):
In Soviet Russia, tree fells you!
Still alive thankfully.
Is that the guy that was captured by Russians?
No he jumped on to a mine and his leg was blown off
My apologies, there is alot of videos going around lately it's hard to remember what's what after hours of scrolling twitter feeds.
Ah Republic of China rather than the great bunch of lads...
It'll keep a certain section of US republican voters on board and if Trump wins next year give one more reason to stop supporting Ukraine and claim it's a "regional/European conflict"
War crimes tribunal at The Hague.
War Crimes investigations are something the Russians would want to distance themselves from their Soviet past.
The Katyn Massacre of 22,000 Polish military officers and staff was covered up and lied about for 45 years until the Soviet Union collapsed.
I’d give you the benefit of the doubt, A lot of people are outraged by what the Russians do and rightly so, wary of Kremlin trolls rightly so too, but I can understand you making this mistake, can be hard to see how it was mistake.
Interesting recent WaPo interview with Zaluzhny
Carrying out a counteroffensive to reclaim that territory, defeat Russia and minimize Ukraine’s casualties requires resources that Zaluzhny said he’s still lacking. Western officials have said Ukraine has enough to succeed, but Zaluzhny was sharply critical of counterparts who have argued that Kyiv doesn’t need F-16s. Their own militaries would never fight like this, he said in the interview.
When President Volodymyr Zelensky called and offered Zaluzhny the top post in Ukraine’s armed forces, Zaluzhny quickly ditched the idea of retirement.
Among the first things he did was renovate his new office. Zaluzhny had always dreaded visiting previous commanders there. Each time reminded him of the thing he despised most about the Soviet army legacy — “that any commander who took his position was in fact a feudal lord over his subordinates,” he said. It represented exactly what he wanted to change about Ukraine’s military.
After fighting an internal Soviet ideological enemy, he now faces an external one that lauds the very heritage Zaluzhny wanted eradicated. But he still has respect for his adversary’s doctrine. He eagerly read everything Gen. Valery Gerasimov, Russia’s military chief, has ever written, describing it as “very, very interesting” and lamenting that he hasn’t published anything lately.
“He is an enemy — an enemy who is very smart,” Zaluzhny said. “Smart and therefore devious. He is still strong. So you have to respect him as such and look for ways to kill him. Because that is the only way to win.”
The figurative Western handcuffs on his military operations have prompted Zaluzhny to think more about Ukraine’s future — beyond this counteroffensive and this war — and how to make the country so strong that no one will dare attack it again. To accomplish that means producing weapons for defense rather than being reliant on others to provide them.
“Victory will be when we will have an army — maybe even a not-insignificant one — that will guarantee the safety of children who are now riding in baby carriages, so that they grow up knowing that this won’t happen again,” Zaluzhny said. “And that’s a tremendous amount of work. It has to start now.”
It matters because if you're the bad guy the first bad thing you did carries as much consequence as the 22,000th.
If you're the good guy you're not allowed 1.
That's more or less my reading of it, I differ in the details. I'm suspecting it as pulling in low-density/high demand MOSs which have been concentrated in Europe for the last year or so for some odd reason. They need to get pulled back to the US for rest and reset and need a break, and we don't have enough in the regular Army to do the job.

Only when you don't pay it not to..........
Strange, these bombs / rockets seemed to have a horizontal or angled flight path..?? Drones are always vertical dropped bombs.
These are small commercial drones with a small bomb attached and can fly anywhere.
The drone flew right in with the bomb attached, FPV kamikaze drone.
