Yeah, it says the Russian Orthodox is separate from the larger Eastern Orthodox Church, and they’re a minority in Ukraine compared to the other Orthodox Christians. So I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal. Hopefully they just target bishops or whatever and change a few signs, and don’t really mess with people’s individual churches and priests.
@yogthos And then the upper stage blew up, creating a debris field of more than 700 objects that now threatens satellites in the same orbit: reuters.com/technology/space/c…
China has a really bad track record with their stages. They have launch sites where they drop the first stages on land - sometimes hitting or almost hitting villages (which is really bad as many of these stages use toxic propellants). Their upper stages re-enter the atmosphere in an uncontrolled way (most other rocket launchers do this in a controlled way and let them re-enter at "Point Nemo").
Too bad he hasn’t seemed to piss off China. I bet with all those precursor connections they would have enough influence to get them to destroy the meeting place.
Should have requested the Cartels do something about it.
The United States could simply offer a 12 month amnesty to any Cartel who manages to make Putin appear, alive, at The Hague. The value of that would easily exceed a Billion dollars and be highly motivational.
Ah yes, the old “your government/politician does bad thing therefore you cannot criticize other bad thing” argument. So eloquent, so convincing. So strong.
I could live to be a thousand, and I’ll still be seeing small-minded people make the same argument.
Ukraine is using ANRIK drones with KVARTAL munitions. This allows them to get their FLÄRDFULL units in place. They're super easy to set up in the field, but if you're left scratching your head, there's a hotline to call.
There was a story I read a while back where, during a firefight, the soldier called the manufacturer’s hot line and got his issue fixed. I’d love to hear a soldier screaming over artillery that their stupid HIMARS isn’t accepting the new rockets and Lockheed puts them on hold.
Told ya’ll, zero chance we’d do it. Doesn’t matter what international agreement we signed, it’s not worth the risk. Sorry for signing that and not following through but asking us to arrest a head of state of a major superpower is too much.
We try to stay neutral with all countries and AMLO has taken it to heart. We know he’s not coming but the government is still doing it to be polite, avoid confrontation, and secure future relations, afaik. It’s putting ourselves first. But honestly, he shouldn’t have been invited in the first place. Fuck Putin. I hope Sheinbaum takes a more decisive stance and does the right thing but who knows.
That’s what I thought! And yet there were surprises to be had in some other comments section arguing that because Mexico signed an extradition agreement, we’d be forced to follow through somehow.
…if Putin has the guts to show up even with this assurance.
Not a chance. Someone(s) could easily make one, or all, of the Cartels an offer they couldn’t refuse to either make him disappear or make him disappear from Mexico and magically reappear at The Hague.
On 20 August 1940, Trotsky was attacked in his study by Spanish-born NKVD agent Ramón Mercader, who used an ice axe as a weapon. The operation was known within the NKVD as “Operation Utka” (Operation Duck).
Did you seriously just call a third world gas station a super power? Just because they claim to have Soviet nukes that still work doesn’t make them relevant.
