The range of available holsters in the US is enormous. Women's holsters (think: tactical brassiere, among other things) are a big part of the market. Though, I'd expect not to see them in a woman's clothing store, but in a gun store (or one of the infinite number of gun shows that go on)
If Putin only knew the hornets' nest he was stirring up when he invaded Ukraine!! He was hiding behind the security / NATO excuse to cover up the invasion, which only existed in his twisted mind. Not anymore, now he really is surrounded by heavily armed and decidedly unfriendly Countries. Yuu reap what you sow
And again believe it or not, but in a ladies fashion shop, they had a display mannequin showing the latest in thigh holsters!!. (if you were into that kinda thing.....😂) would they be common in the US?
Been a strange week across the globe and its only Monday!!
Romania I don't think so but it's been a strange week for the war ....
not sure what to make of this. Havent seen it picked up by other sources yet.
Could be more Moscow BS.
The Czech republic signed a 6.6Billion deal with the US to acquire 24 F35b fighter jets and supports related this negotiation and contract was several years in planning ,
The 'boot sale' to acquire a holster (or a pistol for that matter) wouldn't be strange in the US at all :)
But he isn't, you posted a tweet that said "got some of ours 200 and 300" and you claimed 300 killed, 200 injured. Then other posters pointed out that it doesn't mention actual nos killed/injured and 200/300 is Russian/ ex-soviet code, your excuse was Ukrainians dont use them military codes. So who's lying?
Oh yeah the only way out is in a bodybag or minus your arms or legs
While in Russia, all conscript terms have been increased indefinitely.....once you are in, that's it, no guarantee when or if you will get home again.
No, it was perfectly true, as he proved later on the same evening when he gave a demonstration. And guess what? No one was surprised. What was a surprise was that no one else did the same thing, because I was at other "events" where several of the party goers did take out their guns and fired several shots. And then had a discussion about the relative merits of the guns they were using. On another occasion, I visited a street market or boot sale if you like, with a friend and when we got there, I asked him was he looking for anything in particular, and he replied " I'm looking for an underarm holster for my pistol" much the same and as casually as I would day " I'm looking for a spare wheel for my car" Its a different world...
If it was only one, it might be OK, but 2 or more? Be prepared to be surrounded in seconds by some heavily armed no -nonsense types. And the language barrier wouldn't be a problem either, you would understand perfectly what they wanted you to do!!! 🙁
Russia claims to have taken the town of Tabaivka in Kharkiv, Ukraine says there is still fighting going on over the town .
No what he said is true
Why make it up ,
You try to counter a post by confirming it actually happened, then waffle on about misinformation that in over two years you've not corrected a single post while having your own claims repeatedly corrected...
What was in the other day oh I know all all about TOW missles in Ukraine picked a random number of 9000,
Correct information says only around 2500 delivered ..
You have to read back on the poster in question. He has a history of slating people who post random tweets that end up being misleading or fake. Why shouldn't he be put to the same standard he puts others at?
When people don't get corrected we end up with pages of discussions about a big breakthrough by the Russians who killed 300 Ukrainians and injured 200, when in fact only a dozen were killed. So the big breakthrough was more like a small recon group etc..
Your last line is a very dangerous/naïve assumption :-D
Almost believable until the pistol part. Maxim being a liar cnut as every ruSSkiy is.
Naryshkin: Ukraine under Zelensky will face a sad fate
Gleb Sotnikov
An unenviable fate awaits Ukraine with the existing regime. Russia is not going to abandon its plans. This statement was made by the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation Sergei Naryshkin in a conversation with journalist Pavel Zarubin. A fragment of the dialogue was published on his Telegram channel.

"The fate of Ukraine in the form in which the country exists now, under the regime that rules there, is very sad. Russia will not stop halfway, in the philosophical sense of the word," Naryshkin stressed.
Earlier, the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service noted that the likelihood of new provocations against the Russian Federation due to Western defeats in Ukraine is very high, but a long-term effect should not be expected from them.
On Sunday, Hungarian right-wing politician László Toroczkai, speaking in Budapest at the congress of the Our Homeland party, said that in the event of Ukraine's defeat, Transcarpathia could go to Hungary. According to him, if "the statehood of Ukraine ceases, then Our Motherland, as the only party in Hungary, will lay claim to Transcarpathia."

It's just an internet discussion. Again, why do some posters take it as a personal sleight if someone comes at something from an angle they don't like?
"Looks like", is not a statement of fact, it's a comment on some new story, inviting others to discuss. The constant gloating over someone apparently getting something wrong is a real pain in the ass on here.
We're all well able to read and make up our own minds, thanks.
One can only imagine what the consequences would be if you stopped a blacked out SUV ....
Big black 4x4's with blacked out windows....and Russian Society. A Chechen colleague explained to me how it worked and gave me some solid advice. Here he said, a family will club together to buy a big black 4x4 with tinted windows. Once you are in a vehicle like this, no one will bother you, even at checkpoints. If someone does stop you, you will shout angrily at him, why did you stop me? Do you know who I am? And in most cases, the policeman will apologize, salute you, and wave you on. And this was borne out by a policeman friend when I asked him what kind of job being a policeman in Russia was. He replied, for me, not so good....the ones who I can stop, have no money, and I'm not allowed to stop the rich ones. And on one occasion, I had a FSB offcer in the car I was driving (ordinary car, not 4x4) and was stopped by the police. He demanded my documents, which I gave him, he studied them for a minute without saying anything, and then with the same finger snapping arrogance, demanded the ID from my passenger, of course, not knowing that he was FSB. The officer took his ID out, opened it up, and held it up for the police man to see. Still not aware of who he was dealing with, the police man got even tougher, snapping his fingers and even louder than before demanding that he be handed the ID. The FSB man refused, telling him to come around to his side to inspect his ID. So he went around to the passenger side, and got to see his ID. Talk about turning a paler shade of white,,,, And the other thing he told me? Don't ever in any shape or form, get in the way of any big black 4x4's, cause them to slow down or stop. All good solid advice.
Very interesting read, and a good explanation of Putin's actions.
Did someone @jmreire mention when you speak Russian and hold a gun then a sudden urge occurs to buy an American or European 4x4 with blacked out windows?
A Russian soldier on checkpoint tells a Kadyrov "Thou shall not pass for kidnapped children tonight".
Russians are asked about China. (uploaded today)
They mightn't walk away. But they'll be getting things more in their order first. Russia needs China more than China needs Russia. China hasn't opened a war with Taiwan and may never will. It could still keep operating the way it is.
The way this is going China won't be invading Russia but Putin will be handing it over to them.
