It is a myth that the targets are all old and senile. One problem is that many electronic paying systems are very convoluted, and it is hard for an individual to deduce which point is the 'hit spot', where they make a fateful decision. Part of it is laziness by both banks and customers - they want convenience and quick operation, but these processes can have vulnerabilities. I see was unclear. Of course I did not mean they only target elderly.
mandeb48 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 It is nice to see how all of humanity, without distinction of borders, race and religions, is the same everywhere: scammers who use all means to steal from unwary people, if possible old people who are easy victims.
JWB Posted February 10 Posted February 10 https://x.com/wartranslated/status/1888967752314171785 Russians shot down their own Eleron-3 reconnaissance drone and painted a Ukrainian flag on it in an attempt to receive awards instead of reprimands.
Stuart Galbraith Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Trump just said that Ukraine 'might become Russia someday.'

That is quite plausable as own infantry is more dangerous for pro-Rus drones then enemy. Effectively, infantry is shooting at everything they see in the sky (see my old post on why pro-Russians prefer kites to baloons to lift radio retransmitters). The desire to extra "decorate" the trophy (as the infantry is usually not aware of drone types and can't tell enemy drone from "own" one, as they are all combination of Made-in-China components) to make it "look good" is quite logical - wny not add the markings common on other NATO vehicles?

Roman Alymov Posted February 11 Posted February 11 IMHO worth watching: can't say individual facts are surprising by themselves, but nice to see events in Ukraine shown in retrospective as interlinked with international and domestic US developments

Of all the useful idiots used by the Russians, Tucker might be the biggest idiot of them all. https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1889035187079852349
JWB Posted February 11 Posted February 11 https://x.com/RepJoeWilson/status/1889322834847035401 Grateful to introduce the FREEDOM FIRST LEND-LEASE ACT as HR 1158. War Criminal Putin understands only the language of force. We must give President Trump the authority to MASSIVELY & QUICKLY arm Ukraine with war-winning weapons to get Russia to the table. Peace through Strength!
JWB Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Exactly 3 years ago, on February 10, 2022, Lavrov publicly announced that after the exercises in Belarus, Russian troops would not invade Ukraine but return to their territory. Two weeks later, Russian troops invaded Ukraine. Russia always lies. https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1889000366085202169

When Russia is mobilizing and telling you they want to talk, they're about to start shooting.

Morgan is not a man I much respect, but he seems to grasp the importance of Ukraine and Zelensky. Carlson seems to be in full Walter Duranty mode at this point.
KV7 Posted February 11 Posted February 11 On 2/4/2025 at 6:57 PM, Roman Alymov said: Currently pro-Russians are numerically inferrior to pro-Ukr forces on the front line, so i see no reason why "pro-Ukrainian regime will collapse" in any visible perpective if they still have millions of men hiding from conscription but rounded up and thrown into meatgrinder. With current attrition rate, they could last years. The only way to change situation is fighting real war, with destruction of bridges over Dniper, stopping oil and gas supply and all switching off electric power network. It could collapse before that due a mix of defeats and internal resistance making replenishment ineffective and/or continuation of the war politically impossible.
KV7 Posted February 11 Posted February 11 On 2/6/2025 at 12:43 AM, ink said: Yeah, I understand that, of course, but economies are fragile things at the best of times, and a protracted war can have all kinds of knock-on effects that are hard to predict. Russia is definitely financing the war in part from federal reserves. That's probably not sustainable in the long term. It's basically a game of chicken where your opponent is a brick wall. A war economy certainly wouldn't be sustainable for anything but a very short period. There are no real economic constraints, the issue is political, i.e. if Russians will tolerate it and if not, do something about it that is a real worry.

Every morning Morgan sticks his finger up to see which way the wind is blowing and for that day is desperately pushing to the front of the crowd so he can claim he is leading it. He has no scruples, no morals and no ideology.
Stuart Galbraith Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Generally yes. But on Ukraine he has been consistent for 3 years now, which for him is decades.

And what importance for the US taxpayer exactly, please!
Stuart Galbraith Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (I actually thought I was replying to Ink, not our resident court Jester or I probably wouldnt have bothered, but now I have, Im not inclined to delete it all, because it wants laying down once and for all) Ok, for the millionth time. War is bad, Mkay? When an aggressor starts a wars and wins a war, he receives the lesson he can always start wars and get away with them. This was illustrated with the war in Georgia and the seizure of Crimea, for which Russia was not punished. If Russia believes it can gain territory through military use, not only does it gain the lesson it can conceivably do so against European border regions (Finland, Baltic states, Moldova), it also gives the lesson to lunatics in the world, Xi, Netanyahu, Donald Trump not least, that they can go and seize territory and suffer no ill effects as a result. We set a precident in 1945. You dont go and changing European or world borders with military force. And whilst the takeup on that message was slow (and we were still enforcing that lesson with military force as late as 1991) as a rule it was a good one. And yes, I do know someone is going to say 'Because Kosovo'. However one likes it, Kosovo was an isolated case that proved the rule. Nobody else in Europe has had chunks annexed since, which rather illustrates it. Other than Ukraine of course. Maybe everyone wants to go back to the 1930's, with Mussolini desciding to Hoover up Ethiopia, Japan wanting to annex China, Hitler wanting his Austria and Sudetenland (and worse to come), but personally, im happy with leaving all the worlds borders as they are, the world our Grandfathers bequeithed us with. We change that rule at our peril, because we will unleash a series of wars we will not be able to stop without much bloodshed and treasure. Frankly id be decidedly happy not to unleash a world war if thats alright with you. This is self evident, in my view at least. So evident I really wonder why I have to keep repeating it on this grate site. Maybe the US taxpayer doesnt think thats good value for money. Well, there is nothing I can prescribe for general stupidity.
