I mean technically they are a liability because you have to actually pay to dispose of them. We should make the Ukrainian state arms company into a contractor and pay them to "dispose" of them on top of any convenient Russians.
Even better

Disposing of them by directly delivering them to the Russians in the most expeditious means available to the AFU would be the best part of the deal. Although our EPA won't mind how they get delivered, they might make a fuss about what happens after they get delivered.

I have an environmental equation for them to consider.

We kill the Russians with conventional weapons in Ukraine.
Or we nuke Russia itself once they set foot onto NATO.

I trust we can count on people to determine the best course of action there.

You could probably lawyer up an argument that each dead Russian and each destroyed piece of equipment is worth a certain value in future carbon unburned. Issue some carbon credits to offset more munitions disposal fees.

Polish government may say some stuff that make America happy but the people of Poland see things differently. I spoke with some Polish guys other day and they said there are too many Ukrainians in Poland. And the farmers? Well, they are just simply angry!


This is Western media reporting this, I have checked with Polish media - same thing.

"The Polish side of the frontier is blocked by several dozen Polish farmers, many holding red-and-white flags. They're protesting what they say is a flood of Ukrainian grain and other produce following liberalization of trade brought in by the EU as a response to Russia's full-scale invasion.

"We have to close the border. Am I supposed die of hunger because they are at war?" asked Ździsław Dąbrowski, a farmer with a 30-hectare smallholding who has joined the demonstration. The protesters are only letting two trucks an hour pass into Ukraine and none in the other direction."

So it's pretty bad at the border over there, especially since multiple Polish borders seem to have protesters.


And to make a little joke, don't get offended, just a good natured joke:

Q: How do you sink a Polish battleship?

A: Put it in water

Farmers all over the EU are behaving badly as new regulations are due to come down.

The volume of Ukrainian grain entering the EU market is a tiny fraction what is was last year as export corridors off the continent have been opened or re-opened in the case of the Black Sea ports that are at pre-war tonnage levels now.

There's that creativity at work again. Pretty sure the only people who could possibly get offended by a joke that weak are those currently in the process of losing naval vessels on the regular. Ukrainians have way better senses of humor than you or the Russians it would seem.

See? Not bad for a people on the receiving end of Russia's third attempted genocide...




A Russian arrives at the Ukrainian border. The Ukrainian border guard asks, “Name?”
“Dimitri.”
The border guard asks, “Occupation?”
The Russian says, “No, just visiting.”



Two Ukrainians meet in the street. The first one greets the second in Russian, but the second answers in Ukrainian.
“Why are you speaking Ukrainian?” the first one says.
“I try to speak as little Russian as possible these days.”
“Why? Are you afraid Ukrainians will come beat you up?”
“No, I’m scared the Russians will come save me!”



When God created Eastern Europe, he carved from the earth three hulking nations: a dull gray valley called Germany, an endless white tundra called Russia, and, between the two, a bursting field of yellow flowers called Ukraine. When the Ukrainian people saw their new home, they could not believe their good fortune. They walked the fertile fields marveling at the richness of the soil, breathing in the crisp air of the Carpathian Mountains, and staring out in awe at the glimmering Black Sea. They looked to the dull German valleys to the west and the barren Russian plains to the east, and then back at the Eden in which they were going to get to spend their lives.

They said to God, “What have we done to deserve such bounty? What have we done to deserve such good fortune? Why have you blessed us with such riches?”
And God said to the Ukrainians, “Let me introduce you to the neighbors.”

Vladimir Putin visits an elementary school in Siberia. After he gives a speech, the children have a chance to ask their leader questions.

Eventually, little Sasha raises his hand and says, “I have two questions.”
“1. Why did Russia invade Crimea?
2. Why are Russian soldiers currently in Ukraine?”
Before Putin has a chance to respond, the bell rings, and all the children run out for recess.
When they return, another child, Vova, raises his hand and says, “I have four questions.”
”1. Why did Russia invade Crimea?
2. Why are Russian soldiers currently in Ukraine?
3. Why did the bell ring early today?
4. Where is Sasha?”

Make hay while... the F16's are not here yet... from Ukrainian Journalist and Mil-analyst Alexander Kovalenko;

KAB = Russian FAB air-dropped bomb

Despite the increased shooting of the Su-34, the intensity of the use of these front-line bombers with fighter functions has not decreased, and even more so.

Thus, over the past 24 hours, on February 29, an absolute record for the use of KAB was set - 152!

Previously, the absolute record for the use of KAB was also set in February, from 16 to 17, in the amount of 151 KAB, of which 94 were deployed in Avdeevka and its outskirts. Over the past 24 hours, the most intensive place of KAB arrivals was also the outskirts of Avdeevka.

So, the enemy wipes out the village of Tonenke from the face of the earth - more than 30 cabs flew through it, and 10 through Orlivka.

In total, the number of Russian Armed Forces (POB) KABs used in February exceeded 1,500, which is also an absolute record since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

All this indicates that, despite the loss of the Su-34, the work of the KAB continues. That is, planes and pilots are sent with the awareness of the high risks of destruction of both the aircraft and the crew, for one simple reason - the KAB is the only tool for opening our defense lines and fortified areas. Without the KAB, Russian troops will significantly lose their effectiveness in offensive operations.

The situation is stalemate for them, because such intensity of flights of Russian aircraft allows us to catch them more often. But it should be understood that for every plane shot down, there are several dozen flights that were not intercepted. For example, over the past day there were more than 150 sorties of Su-35, Su-34 and Su-25.

A clear explanation for the current expansion of Russian held territory. They have found a hole in Ukraine's current armoury and is making the most of it, despite the dangers to its air crews. This window of opportunity will be closed shortly though.

Time to make a few more of those FrankenPatriot systems that use Ukraine's S-300 radars/fire control centers paired with Patriot launchers to really run up the tab on the VKS.

A ransomware gang once thought to have been crippled by law enforcement has snarled prescription processing for millions of Americans over the past week, forcing some to choose between paying prices hundreds or thousands of dollars above their usual insurance-adjusted rates or going without lifesaving medicine.

A notorious Russian-speaking ransomware ring known as ALPHV claimed responsibility for the Feb. 21 breach, capping a string of attacks that included several hospitals.

Since Russian state sponsored weapons are being used against the main land United States, perhaps it is time for the United States to start shooting back. With live ammo.


For example, I imagine ALPHV would find it difficult continue its operations if it simply started blowing up. I am aware the suspected location is the GRU electronic warfare division headquarters, but we need not confine to just that building. This might also impede Russia's war effort against Ukraine. Double bonus? Maybe spread the strikes around, rumor has it the Kremlin has some nasty hackers operating out of it.



These people are literally killing American citizens. The weakest and most vulnerable amongst us. Targeting hospitals and those in need of medication. Who are we as a nation if we ignore this?

Paint little Ukrainian flags on a dozen F-35As and send them to lob AIM-120Cs and 100 SDBs a day at the Russians. No risk of them capturing anything.

Just a good natured Joke:

Pole finds a strange lamp and once he rubs it, a genie pops up. The genie says 'you know the drill, three wishes, let's hear them'. The Pole says, 'I want a Mongol horde to come to Poland, to loot, pillage, burn, murder, and then go back'. Extremely perplexed, the genie fulfills his wish. What's even more bizarre, the Pole then proceeds to ask for the same thing twice more.

Flabbergasted, the genie asks 'why would you want to inflict this misery upon your country?' The Pole says 'Ah, you see, each time the Mongols came to Poland, they had to cross russia twice.

Sounds like Russia air forces have been getting rocked over the last two weeks. Like 13 birds down in 11 days. Moving AA closer, softening things up for the 16's to have more room to breathe I'm guessing.

It's really hard to say what they're using.

Improved S200's from Poland or a domestic program improving their own linked to Patriot radar is my theory... if not straight out datalinked to US assets over the Black Sea.

Massively embarrassing leak for the Germans re: Taurus for Ukraine.

The only reason the Germans would need to be there is because Sholz doesn't trust the Ukrainians with keeping inside their targeting promises despite having done so for all other systems.
AFU is considered by the Bundeswher to be technically capable of managing the system on their own like Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG.
