Russian soldier death rate highest since first week of war - Ukraine
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in The War in Ukraine
There is no doubt heavy losses are inflicted on both sides but your 4 month old article does nothing to credit your claim that the Ukrainians are losing more. -
From the CNN link in the OP which also happens to be live updates, it appears this object went over some sensitive sites. "Based on its flight path and data we can reasonably connect this object to the radar signal picked up over Montana, which flew in proximity to sensitive DOD sites,” he said."

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Not sure how this is going to end but it certainly looks like there is a real rift happening now between Wagner and the Defense Ministry. They have stopped giving permission for Wagner to recruit from prisons and are now doing it themselves. This from the latest ISW update: #Prigozhin also confirmed on 11 FEB that the #Wagner Group stopped recruiting inside Russian prisons due to the expiration of an agreement between the Wagner Group and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD). 2/ Prigozhin stated that unspecified military detachments outside of his jurisdiction – likely referring to Russia’s conventional armed forces – will continue convict recruitment efforts. 3/ A Wagner Group-affiliated Russian milblogger also claimed that the Russian MoD is increasing its efforts to recruit inside Russian prisons. 4/@DefenceHQ assessed on February 11 that the increasing conflict between the Russian MoD and #Wagner Group was likely the main factor in the termination of the Wagner Group-MoD agreement regarding prison recruitment. 5/ #Prigozhin’s influence and appeal will likely continue to decline as the Russian MoD continues measures to undercut Wagner Group forces’ battlefield effectiveness, as @TheStudyofWar has previously reported. A more detailed article here: Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the once secretive tycoon, is confounding Moscow’s Kremlin-allied elite by starting to dabble in politics alongside waging war in Ukraine. He challenged Ukraine’s president to a duel from the cockpit of a bomber. He threatened to urinate on the face of a critic. He declared his private army was fighting for “every street, every house, every stairwell” in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. And that was just the past couple of weeks in the still-nascent public life of Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the St. Petersburg tycoon who is confounding Moscow’s Kremlin-allied elite by starting to dabble in politics alongside waging war in Ukraine. Mr. Prigozhin operated for years in secrecy, profiting from his personal ties to President Vladimir V. Putin to win lucrative catering and construction contracts with the Russian government while building up a mercenary force known as Wagner. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/11/world/europe/russia-wagner-group-prigozhin-putin.html https://archive.ph/UswOo -

Yes I have, if you want to start a topic on it start one and I'll share it. However see the post I replied to and why. Then look at the topic of this OP. -
May be you didn't read my post fully, fatal car accidents are permanent. "Teen drivers in this age group have a fatal crash rate almost three times as high as drivers ages 20" In South Dakota having children at 16 is permanent. If "you" feel its a good reason to "RAISE" the age to drive and have children to 18 rather than lower the age to 16 when someone can make a decision on whether they want gender treatment reinforces my views in my initial post. Much more thought should have been taken before enacting this law. My personal opinion, by the age of 16 you are mature enough to know so long as there is adequate counselling first.
-
That's highly debatable. If in South Dakota your are legally mature enough to get married and have children with the children part being permanent then you should also be legally responsible enough to seek gender treatment. Equally if you are legally responsible enough to drive a car at 16 although the risk is higher of a fatal accident (yes permanent) at that age than any other age then you should also be able to seek the same treatment. It was indeed, referencing the post I was replying to.
-
Have to say I'm not up to speed with "gender affirming" procedures nor have I worked with any young people who were going through it. But in a state that allows marriage at 16, allows driving a car at 16, but now decides that they are not mature enough to seek this treatment until they are 18 seems a little confusing. I guess you should expect nothing else from a state that also bans abortion as a result of rape.

Wagner boss dreaming of taking it all the way to the English Channel and giving France and other European countries to Ukraine....... He says its his own "genius plan" Prigozhin Says It Will Take 1.5 Years For Russia To Capture Donbas, 3 Years To Reach Dnieper "If we need to go to the Dnieper, then for three years, If we need to close the DPR and LPR, we need to work at least one and a half or two more years," Prigozhin said. At the same time, he stressed that he has his own "genius" plan in case Russia wants to reach the English Channel (the strait between Britain and France). https://ukranews.com/en/news/914375-prigozhin-says-it-will-take-1-5-years-for-russia-to-capture-donbas-3-years-to-reach-dnieper -

Copying the Ukrainian tactics of using a drone boat to blow a bridge, sorry Ruskies, the original masters of this blew your Crimea bridge 4 months ago. Still not fully fixed yet. -
Getting Covid Boosters: still a good idea?

Fact check: Pfizer's FDA-approved vaccine is available in US Comirnaty is the brand name for Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine. The FDA approved the shot in late August for Americans ages 16 and older. But posts claiming Comirnaty is not yet available in the U.S. have racked up thousands of interactions on Facebook and Instagram over the past month "I can confirm that our vaccine has been granted FDA approval and that Comirnaty is available" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/10/20/fact-check-comirnaty-pfizers-fda-approved-vaccine-available-us/8538861002/ -

No need for psychics, take a listen Putin's Peter the Great speech. This is Putin's Imperial war of conquest. -
Biden? Perhaps you should look at your pal Putin: Russia tests nuclear-capable missile that Putin calls world's best LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - In a show of strength two months into its assault on Ukraine, Russia test-launched a new nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile which President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday would make Moscow's enemies stop and think. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-tests-new-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-2022-04-20/

Your internet search history must interesting with all these links you keep coming up with. Some journalists you say..................lol Your first link is an article from Larry C. Johnson Larry C. Johnson is a blogger and former analyst at the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. He is the co-owner and CEO of BERG Associates, LLC (Business Exposure Reduction Group). He is best known for spreading a hoax in 2008 that Republican operatives had a videotape of Michelle Obama complaining about "whitey".[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_C._Johnson Your second link from Craig Murray and his conspiracy theories on the poisoning of Sergei Skripa by Russia in Salisbury, UK "One of the voices that gained traction in relation to the spy attack story belongs to former British diplomat Craig Murray, who took exception to the speed with which Russia was declared responsible. Picking up on the government line that the toxin was “of a type developed by Russia” he penned a blog entitled: “Of a type developed by liars” building on his previous piece “Russian to judgement” which contained numerous allegations, including that “Israel has a clear motivation for damaging the Russian reputation so grievously”. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2018/03/how-conspiracy-theories-about-salisbury-attack-tap-antisemitic-tropes -
Oh great, lets hope not too many of them decide to take advantage of their new found freedom by heading to Thailand! “We started seeing him in town a few weeks ago,” one local resident who has known Salmin for many years told the Guardian. “He is a dangerous man, we all know what he did to his friend. I told my kids not to run around alone in the coming days.

Agreed, calling her trash is an insult to trash. She's a witch and has no place in the position she's holding. Even her fellow republicans are embarrassed by her. She's also got history as we know by participating in white nationalist’s conference aside from her rabbit hole conspiracy theories. Her fellow republicans: Mitch McConnell stated about her. “There’s no place in the Republican Party for white supremacists or anti-Semitism,” While Sen. Mitt Romney referring to the witch said. “There’s no place in either political party for this white nationalism or racism. It’s simply wrong,” https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02/28/marjorie-taylor-greene-white-nationalist-conference/

It's very simple ... IF the govt has their way, you'll NEVER have the same fire power as the criminals. Let that sink in ... take as much time as you need. Sounds like paranoia setting in, either that or scare mongering as a poster boy for the arm dealers and NRA
