Wierd. My career with my last employer was maintaining a system designated by the Navy as an M240. It was not a weapon system though.

I do agree with the statement that an onrushing famine was hitting Japan. Even in its worst case said famine would have likely killed around 600,000 Japanese people.
I disagree with the statement it would have killed more people then the atomic bombs.
Assumes facts we do not have. We do not know if the famine would have acheived its worse case senario. It is also possible the famine itself would have compelled the Japanese government to surrender. A self inflicted WMD.
Your making assumptions Japan was fanatical and willing to fight to the end. But as I pointed out in my previous post, Okinawa showed quite the opposite. Even with a 1 to 2 ratio of military to civilian on Okinawa, the civilian population had zero interest in fighting to the end.
Gaffe? Or did Ukraine suddenly join nato?
I suspect there's high internal confidence that Russia intends to attack NATO power infrastructure covertly, hence the warning. Nordstream was a message of capability/intent, and NATO is calling his bluff.I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it is like our ties with North Korea as per Kamala. LOL
The counter offensive presses forward past encircled Lyman and towards a critical road juncture.
Taking Kerminna would collapse Russia's gains from this past summer, as one domino after another would fall in Luhansk Oblast.
Let's see what Russian forces remain to hold this position.
Gunfire can be heard in Kreminna, Luhansk Oblast tonight as Ukrainian forces approach the city.
Doesn't sound like that's going well for the Russians...
Lyman is a disaster for Russia;
Well… Fighting in the dark when the advancing force has night vision and thermals…. and you dont, is kind of a b*.Ukrainians reported Lyman was well defended but overall Russian military limitations on combat capable manpower showed up again. Also precise Ukrainian counter fire cited even by Russians as devastating. GMLRS also likely used in this role now, not just tubes.
The Russians simply don't have the men to defend the front they've got and dribbling in draftees to get captured or killed isn't going to cut it.
Considering Ukraine blew all the bridges, I wonder how well their logistics will hold up on the east side of the river.Ukraine certainly maintains some advantages. Such as combat at night, they mostly have night vision. Russians mostly do not.
Slava Ukraini!!!

How the Romanian dictator Ceausescu was brought down during a rally he lost control over. Video at start of thread...
Does anyone know of a good Russian joke?
