  1. Bangkok officials said that it was a UK man who had died of a heart attack.
    309
  2. Human reactions to a disaster: Rescue, humanitarian aid, and then police and military to protect against looters. It seems it doesn’t matter where the disaster happens, unless it happens in a poor rural area where people didn’t have anything to loot.
    231
  3. 25,000 strangers standing shoulder to shoulder on a little hill out in the open listening to the music because they couldn’t get tickets to the sold-out concert. There wasn’t any police or security for crowd control to keep people from stampeding to get a better view or porta-potties or any other amenities for such a large gathering, yet there were no fights or riots or anger! At any other large gathering this wouldn’t be possible!

  4. It shows the extent of the corruption in Russia. The Russian ammo depot was supposed to be built using steel reinforced concrete. Normally the only way to destroy it would be using an expensive and specialized “Bunker Busting Bomb”; Ukraine used a relatively inexpensive propeller driven drone.
    162
  5. There was a tactical deployment error in using a single Magura V drone. The Air-to-Air R-73 missile is a heat seeker and has a limited lock-on angle and must be looking at the target. They should have used at least two Magura V drones to have one of them being able to turn toward the chopper to lock-on the R-73.
    133
  6. The police were supposed to be spread out along the barricade and watching for any suspicious activity in the crowd. The police were bunched up together talking among themselves and not noticing a little old lady pulling out a big metal container! What a joke!
    133
  7. It’s funny how many regular size North Koreans had to sit on the other side of the inflatable boat from Kim Jong-un to balance the inflatable boat.
    128
  8. Even asking the civil servants who works for her to look into the issue, which is outside of their paid duties for her personal issue is unethical and an abuse of her position.

  9. The so called “unsinkable” superyacht had a crew of 10 and carried 12 passengers with the latest modern safety equipment. 90% of the crew survived and only 50% of the passengers survived. An old sailboat many decades older anchored next to the modern “Party Superyacht” survived without any damage and rescued the 15 survivors. Like any mystery whodunit movie there are a lot of coincidences, but no hard evidence and only conjecture as what went wrong.
    45
  10. I bet the Russian chopper pilot had to change his underwear! It’s the first time a Ukrainian sea drone was design to shoot and kill an aircraft! He couldn’t runway or the R-73 heat seeker would have gotten him. He had to hope he didn’t run out of gas before the sea drone!
    42
  11. China is only flexing its international muscle but doesn’t want it to become a shooting war. In the border dispute with India in the Himalaya, the Chinese military took away their soldiers’ modern weapons, the Indian military did the same thing. Both sides started to kill each other with rocks, wooden spears and other homemade weapons, but the kill count was greatly reduced, both are still in BRICS.
    41
  12. After walking very little up to take a group photo, Kim Jong Un is gasping for air and the guy next to him has to hold on to him.
    40
  13. A military retreat is a withdrawal in good order. The units retreating are still formed and able to resist the enemy as they withdraw from contact. A military rout is when the units loose all formation, they are running for their lives.
    38
  14. “Kremlin says the only way to protect Russia is to create a buffer zone with Ukraine…”18 Mar 2024 Reuters. Looks like Ukraine agree with Putin is creating the buffer zone border on the Russia side of the border!
    35
  15. "Cross as a group when the water is especially swift or deep. The strongest person should be slightly upstream to break the current for the others. Cross in a line holding onto each other's pack straps, side by side with arms linked, or in a tripod with arms linked..." National Park Service.
    35
  16. “Russian authorities blamed the blaze on fallen debris after the drones were intercepted by air-defence units…” It like a doctor saying the surgery was a success but the patient died. The Ukrainian “Kamikaze” drones one-way-mission was to start a fire one way or another!
    32
  17. “The European Union has banned all Nepali carriers from its airspace over safety concerns. Nepal's woeful record on aviation safety has been compounded by its treacherous geography…” 24 July 2024 Barron's.
    31
  18. In the West, the rocket motors are tested separate from the assembled rocket in stationary rocket motor test stand and then assemble with the rocket. The Chinese decided to skip a step to save money and tested the motors on an assemble rocket; it didn’t work!
    30
  19. Other countries only use regular military pilots for regular training formation display only. Using regular military pilots to perform air show maneuvers have proven fatal in the past instead of using only highly trained elite air show teams for non-routine flying formations.
    26
  20. The Iranians said earlier it was a “hard landing”, most other people would call it a non-survivable crash!
    21
  21. He gets to see if the movies were right about what's it like being in Serbian jail as a foreigner!
    20
  22. It looks like a forward observation post that was about to be overrun when the Bradley pulled them out of the tight situation.
    20
  23. The solo pilot had go down and let the other planes pass him before he did his upward maneuver. The other planes could not see him since he was below their wings, he could see the other planes above him through his glass canopy. It appears to be pilot error and a moment of inattention and spatial orientation.
    20
  24. The Albanians get paid by the Italians to bring migrants into their country without documents as along as they stay in the processing center and then remove them after determining their status. The migrants never set foot on Italian soil, so the Italian courts doesn’t have to get involved in long drawn-out court battles. The offshore processing center in Albania is like how an international airport works, the migrants wait in “No Country’s Sovereign land” waiting their immigration status.
    19
  25.  @Millisekund  Russian MOD would have bragged about it in the video.
    17
  26. French President Emmanuel Macron sent his envoy to get into Putin’s face. He’s the only one in the EU or NATO to publicly say he’s open to sending French soldiers into Ukraine without Putin attacking France.
    17
  27. Wagner took over a year of heavy fighting in Bakhmut to gain a few meters and they drove into Russian in mere hours without resistance.
    17
  28. The steel supports appear to be adequate, it might have been subgrade material, shoddy construction, poor inspection, poor quality control, or poor drainage design for the rainwater loading during a monsoon in the design calculations. Either way it must have been government corruption and bribery during the project.
    16
  29. “Tourism kills the city”, its not the tourism that kills the city, it’s unemployment! Most other cites are looking for cleaner industries like tourism to replace the air polluting manufacturing plants that once dominated their cities!

  30. In the Arizona extreme daytime heat, why didn’t Trump hold the rally in the cool of the evening to give some relief? Answer; he didn’t care!
    15
  31. After having so many Russian massive ammunition storage depots and gigantic oil refineries destroyed by Ukrainian drones. The Russian MOD had to save face by saying they hit a drone assembly line and storage facilities, when they only hit a civilian apartment building.

  32. "The average Briton was nearly £2,000 worse off in 2023, while the average Londoner was nearly £3,400 worse off last year as a result of Brexit, the report reveals.* It also calculates that there are nearly two million fewer jobs overall in the UK due to Brexit – with almost 300,000 fewer jobs in the capital alone..." 11 Jan 2024 London gov UK
    14
  33. A person who frequently changes their mind are fickle, inconstant, mercurial, and unstable. While all these words mean "lacking firmness or steadiness (as in purpose or devotion)," capricious suggests motivation by sudden whim or fancy and stresses unpredictability.
    14
  34. I guess the love is gone when the husband runs in front of his wife to get out of danger first!
    11
  35. “...growth is the key!” Yet the UK voted to get out of the largest single market right across the English Channel, the EU! What a joke! Without a market they can only sell to themselves or to a distance market incurring transportation costs.

  36. Crocodile Dundee; “That’s not a whip. That’s a whip!” Holding up his bull whip.

  37. "Bridging the gap: Army validates division-led river crossing...Defense experts have long considered U.S. bridging capability inadequate, particularly in the European theater...“The U.S. clearly does not have enough river crossing capability, and river crossing is an important part of what’s happening in Ukraine,” retired Army Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, who previously led U.S. Army Europe...bridging capability, are a corps-level asset..." 15 Dec 2023 Defense News. River crossing wasn’t a top priority for the US Army until the war in Ukraine with the abundance of rivers in Europe.

  38. The jet appears to bank left at the last moment losing speed and stalling when it hit the freeway sound barrier wall. Its amazing the three passengers in the jet survived.
    10
  39. The reason five of the dead were found together in a single cabin was because in the limited time they had left to live with no escape possible, it’s human nature to want to be with your loved ones and friends huddled together; countless ancient grave sites have found people huddled together in their final moments knowing the end was near.
    10
  40. The Bayesian had a crew of 10 and had 12 passengers. Only the yacht’s chef died, and 6 passengers are missing and presumed drowned. The captain of the Bayesian, James Cutfield 51, told Italian police that he wasn’t monitoring the weather closely and the ship’s retractable keel was raised, even with an anchor depth of 160 feet. Lowing the retractable keel would have added stability and made it harder to capsize.

  41. The last time the PLA fought a conventional war was in 1979 when they invaded Vietnam in a border conflict against the Vietnamese and lost, even having more weapons and troops and just marching across the border!

  42. "Putin bans petrol exports as Russia runs on fumes..." 27 Feb 2024 The Telegraph.

  43. With the judge giving a suspended 12-month sentence and only £1,500 fine, once they knew who he was it would have been cheaper to go to a debt collection company instead of using expensive taxpayer police resources for only a £1,500 fine!
    9
  44. The Italian authorities can’t detain any of the crewmembers from leaving the country before questioning them in their investigation in the sinking. I wonder how many of them are going to stay in Sicily.
    8
  45.  @CONSTANTIN_W  It's still not a "Bunker Buster Bomb".
    8
  46. In the video the warship appeared not moving and anchored near shore. There were no protection such as a armed deck watch around the ship or floating netting to prevent the "Kamikaze" boat drones from getting close to the ship.
    8
  47. The thin corrugated rusted metal on top of the tank wouldn't protect against rain, let alone an anti-tank missile!
    7
  48. Putin spends more rubles on his yacht then on warships.
    7
  49. The Russian military training for use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield is like their conventional weapons training going to the battlefield. Head to the front line in close column formation like they are marching in Red Square and won’t be seen by drones or attacked by “Kamike” drones or artillery.
    6
  50. What’s the big deal? It’s an honorary title and it’s not like he’ll get involve with the day to day operational structure of the military command. He’ll just dress up in his uniform and go to military parties and functions.
    6
  51. Homer Simpson moment DUH!
    6
  52. Putin screwed up! He thought that NATO wouldn’t allow NATO weapons to be used on Russian soil. Early in the war NATO agreed to give defensive weapons to be used only on Ukrainian soil to defend itself. NATO agreed that since Ukraine was attacked directly across its border, it could defend against a direct attack across its borders by Russa!
    6
  53. Kim Jong-Un doesn’t appear to be in good health. Just walking to the podium, he appears to be winded. He grips the podium like a crutch, rocks on his legs and never looks up as if just standing and lifting his head takes a lot of effort.
    5
  54. To be in range of the HIMARS shows how near the Russian training camp was to the front line. It seems that the Russians didn’t have enough transportation vehicles to move them from a safe range to train and ship them to the front lines or didn't have the petrol. So the Russians trained them near the front line and plan on using what little trucks they had to shuttle them to the front line after training, or they were expected to walk.
    5
  55. The Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) doesn’t exist in US inventory. Both SAAB and Boeing designed a rocket motor to be attached to the US small diameter guided bomb normally launched from a NATO fighter to be launched from the ground. NATO doesn’t need the GLSDB because NATO will have air superiority in a war.

  56. The “Cover Up” is often more damaging then the actual incident. A minor incident can be attributed to a single moment of misjudgment. Covering up the incident shows a willful effort to deceive.

  57.  @shortrandomusername  Maybe a Russian was taking a smoke break and left the bunker door open.

  58.  @Koz4concern  They were below deck in their cabins asleep when she quickly capsized and hadn't had time to understand what was happening in an air bubble with the way going to the top deck underwater SHERLOCK!

  59. The Mayor’s security guard must have been hired as a political favor to one of his money donors, because the guy couldn’t even protect himself from an unarmed attack!

  60. Of course, the Rabbi didn’t want Trump to sign his Jewish prayer book, Trump only uses wide black marker pens to sign his name in large ugly form and would block out the prayers.

  61.  @demuszulu4863  Both China and Russia have way cheaper newly manufactured civilian airplanes that they keep trying to sell to the third-world countries. Even with the Chinese and Russian government massive discounts and cheap loans, they would still rather buy a used Boeing jet.
    4
  62.  @Sleepyjamal039  Or an older brother or father making sure nothing bad happens!
    4
  63. The plane was in a flat spin and too slow to recover from the spin. The recover spin procedure is to nose down to recover air speed and use opposite rudder to get the air flow over both wings to get even lift on both wings.

  64. “Donald Trump Faces Travel Ban To 37 Countries..." 31 May 2024 Newsweek. Trump can’t visit his golf course in Scotland or any part of the UK, but he can visit his buddy Putin in Russia!

  66. The superyacht couldn’t swing away from the wind at anchor and like most pleasure yachts she has a low stern with sliding glass doors allowing the waves to enter the cabin.

  67. The main targets are the modern refinery equipment Russia installed in a limited amount of refineries after the fall of the Soviet Union to meet European fuel standards for today’s vehicle engines; including Russian military vehicle engines using Western made engine parts. Before the fall, cars were few and only for the elite driving non-Russian cars or poorly made Russian cars that smoked a lot using poorly refined Russian fuel. The Ukrainians don’t need to destroy all of Putin’s refineries, only the updated ones to affect the fuel distribution system and cause engines to start failing using poor quality fuel.
    4
  68. The Russians don’t need any air-raid sirens, they can hear the low-flying propeller driven “Kamikaze” drone miles away.

  69. Container ships places the hazmat containers in the very front of the container ship as far away from the other containers and crew quarters, it definitely was a hazmat container exploding!

  70.  @vangroover1903  Holding each other adds weight against the water force, while the heavier person upstream blocks the current as they move.

  71.  @Koz4concern  The military trains on helicopter crashes at sea in the dark, in a small space and upside down, yet trained young soldiers drown. These people were mostly old and had been asleep and not prepared.

  72. In the picture just before she sank of the super yacht, it shows an older sailing ship anchored very close by, yet the super yacht sank and the old wooden sailboat didn’t.

  73. “In Hamburg, where the termites of 1930 were able to establish themselves over many decades. A lesser-known case was an infestation with subterranean termites in a hall in Munich 1966. In addition drywood termites are also frequently discovered in Germany, which are also reported…” Termite damage?

  74. She made the fatal mistake of not renouncing her Russian citizenship once she became a naturalized American citizen. She might have wanted to have both a Russian and American passport when she travelled overseas. As far as the Russians are concern, she’s a Russian citizen under their laws, the American Embassy can only issue a protest.

  75. Some of the Western countries gave their “Weapons Free” permission for their donated weapons to be used against targets inside Russia, looks like it was none too soon!

  76. Normally turbulence is associated with moisture raising and sinking in a weather system. Clear air turbulence is just raising and sinking air with no moisture. An airplane’s modern weather radar can detect water droplets using Doppler radar to detect weather turbulence, but not clear air turbulence.

  77. The Iranians attacks firing massive drones and missiles and hoping to hit something and not caring about collateral damage. The Israels are like a sniper, hitting what they aimed for and limiting collateral damage.

  78.  @vangroover1903  The lighter person is the weak link, not the heavier person when walking in a fast moving stream. There are videos showing how its done.

  79. Hezbollah used the old pager technology since it was a one-way communication, the pager could not send signals, only received them. They abandon mobile phones and the internet which can be traced and tracked.

  80. NATO conducts military drills to maintain their combat readiness and is scheduled far in advance for military resource allocation and costs, the Russian military never know when their next military drill is. The Russian military drills are based on how Putin feels when he wakes up in the morning!

  81. The guy had what looked like a WW1 German Mauser bolt action rifle with a bayonet going against German police with their H&K 9mm assault guns, he wanted to die.

  82. The Communist Chinese PLA is even worst then the Russian army’s top-heavy chain of command. They have a totally separate politically chain of command from the military chain of command. Every military action requires approved by the Communist Party for political approval.

  83.  @Mrpotato-gs2ur  Noshiro City has the Rocket MotorTesting Center located on a strip of land running north and south along the coast of the Japan Sea in Asanai, Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture. It has static-firing test facilities for solid-rocket motors and system test facilities for liquid-oxygen and liquid-hydrogen engines.

  84.  @nigel8499  Yes, the captain of the old sailboat anchored next to the modern Bayesian monitored the bad weather and started her engine to keep the old sailboat’s nose into the wind at anchor to keep from being rolled over in a quick wind shift.

  85.  @hueylongadmirer1829  The US courts convicted them, by the jury's verdict!

  86. The Ukraine invasion exposed the untrained young Russian conscripts who are forced to fight. When the invasion started, there were no Russian patriotism of civilians joining to fight. On the Russian channels the Russian soldiers fighting on contract in Ukraine were complaining that they were told that their pay would be cut when they fight in Russia.

  87. They can write a mystery movie script. Days before the sinking the billionaire owner’s partner dies in a car accident after winning the lawsuit against their company. The modern superyacht with its owner celebrating the lawsuit win sinks at anchor next to an old wooden yacht that survived the storm and rescued the survivors of superyacht.

  88. The protest isn’t much of a protest tearing up your degree in social work. Try getting a government job in social work after the public protest.

  90. “Russia is furious over reports that a commander sent his best drone operators to die as infantrymen because they criticized him…Two Russian drone operators said their officer assigned them to an infantry assault after a quarrel…”16 Sept 2024 Business Insider. The reason the two old Russian soldiers lasted so long on the front lines.

  91. In business and individual households when deficits greatly outpace projected earnings they look to reduce the deficits by cutting on expenses and non-earning properties. The government can reduce payments to the Royals as part of the deficit reduction. The Royals can rent out their multiple estates to an Airbnb to replace the government payments, auction off or rent out some of their jewelry; reduce their servants and do the work themselves. Everyone should help if the UK is skint.

  92.  @shaun906  “...growth is the key!” Yet the UK voted to get out of the largest single market right across the English Channel, the EU! What a joke! Without a market they can only sell to themselves or to a distance market incurring transportation costs.

  96. Putin threatens the West with nuclear annihilation, he can’t even stop small drones from hitting Moscow, let alone protect against a retaliatory nuclear strike if he pushes the button.

  97. Most of the Russian casualties are minorities, paid mercenaries, convicts, poor or old men; Putin considers them “Cannon Fodder”!

  98. The two medical emergencies seem to be due to a hot town hall venue, the question is what happened to the A/C?

  99. Using leftover Soviet era missile that the guidance system failed after running low on Western made missiles.

  106.  @carolinemcallister692  The Party Superyacht had large furniture inside of the passenger cabins.

Her father and the others probably couldn’t open her cabin door.

  111. The Russian exchange prisoners were newly surrendered conscripts in the Kursk invasion. The Russian conscripts were reportedly sent back to their bases to be issued weapons and sent to the Kursk frontlines. By Russian law, conscripts cannot fight in Ukraine and can only fight on Russian soil.

  112. The Russians flew their outdated TU-95 bomber still carrying the manned tail gunner firing the 23-mm rear gun to protect against “Cold War” era fighter jets. The Chinese used their H6 long-range bomber; at least the Chinese got rid of the “Cold War” era tail gunner in their bombers. The Russian and Chinese long-range bomber were intercepted by US F-22 and F-35 and Canadian F/A-18. The F-22 Raptor fifth generation fighters were flown by the Alaskan Air Nation Guard against the outdated bombers.

  115. The reason that Putin is afraid of the F-16 is because like all NATO aircraft it is compatible with past, present and future NATO weapons. The NATO weapons use by Ukraine had to be jury-rigged to be launched on the old Soviet fighters, limiting its capabilities. With the F-16 the NATO weapons will be used to the maximum capabilities, and Putin knows this.

  121. Putin broke his own law that he had civilians arrested for by calling it a “WAR” instead of a Special Military Operation (SMO)!

  122. @lenafamily7730 Trump always had a reputation of being tightfisted with his money, he often bragged about using other people’s money instead of his own and not paying his fair share of income tax and calling others who did fools; he has no empathy for others.

  123. @Ali-ln1gx The US got dragged into it by the French. The US did it because of the "Red Fear" of the spread of communism. It seem that old cultural hate between the Vietnamese and the Chinese was greater.

  124.  @attilamarics3374  The Russian contract soldiers are for the SMO and not for fighting in Russia. If they signup they will also be sent to Ukraine. Only the Russians from poor families living in the far east signup for the money, not the rich in Moscow.
    1
  125.  @attilamarics3374  After the Feb 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Putin increased the military pay to get Russians to sign contracts to fight in the SMO since the yearly Russian conscripts couldn’t legally fight outside Russia.

  126. Having to replace the Chinese TVs and other Chinese consumer goods will be a problem with the drop in the price of Russian oil. The Chinese companies will probably rise the prices, with the sanctions against Russia giving the Chinese a captive market for their goods.

  130. The Russian civilians finally feel what the Ukrainian civilians have been living under since Feb 2022, a War and not a “Special Military Operation” (SMO)!

  134.  @Maria-p1b2u  "Colonel-in-chief is a ceremonial position in a military regiment. It is in common use in several Commonwealth armies, where it is held by the regiment's patron, usually a member of the royal family. Some armed forces take a light-hearted approach to the position, appointing animals or characters as colonel-in-chief. The Norwegian Army, for example, appointed a penguin named Sir Nils Olav as a colonel-in-chief..." Wikipedia.

  136. Even asking the civil servants who works for her to look into the issue, which is outside of their paid duties for her personal issue is unethical and an abuse of her position.

  138.  @shortrandomusername  Putin has the unrefined crude oil and gas in the ground, but not the refined petrol. The refinery and storage tanks repair will take a long time.

  139.  @lorenclorenc  “The deal will cost Italy €670m (£560m) over five years. The facilities are being run by Italy and will fall under Italian jurisdiction. Albanian guards will provide external security…” 15 Oct 2024 The Guardian. Italy paid for the construction, material, paying for water, electric, fuel, sewage, food, and the accommodation for Italy guards to house in Albanian. Nothing is free!

  140.  @rustyrocket8765  I saw on the news recently that the first test of the new process will be 16 migrant men from Bangladesh and Egypt, already on Italian soil. Italy designates both countries as safe countries, meaning they are likely to be sent back. The 16 men will be process through the whole procedure and then deported as a test run, testing the whole system in Albania.

  141.  @lorenclorenc  It was bound to happen since the test case of illegal immigrants had already been on Italian soil and under the jurisdiction of the civilian court system. The question is if illegal immigrants never had set foot on Italian soil and rescued at sea on a military ship, it puts the civilian court against the federal government's right to rule in international matters.

  143. Turkmenistan’s President banning non-white cars from his country because he believes the color black is bad luck is even crazier than Putin for believing he could conquer Ukraine in three days!

  144. Putin has many body doubles he uses in public. He has people who get closer than 5 meters to him go into two weeks quarantine because he has a fear of COVID. He's so paranoid, he had a private church service at Christmas and didn't allow the priest anywhere near him.

  145. The Ukrainians flies the old USSR era Mig-29 (circa 1982) and the Su-25 (circa 1981) introduced in the 20th century, how could the Russians mistake it for a Russian jet with IFF, unless they'll trigger happy?

  148. “US’s Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier arrives in Vietnam’s Danang...The visit comes as the US and Vietnam look to deepen ties amid concerns about China’s growing regional strength..." 25 Jun 2023 ALJAZEERA. Its just politics, back in 1979 China and Vietnam fought a Sino-Vietnamese War like back in 1969 there was a Sino-Soviet border conflict.

  149. The Russians’ mindset has always been Dog Eat Dog, where corruption and greed are commonplace in Russia and if it wasn’t affecting them, they turned a blind eye. The Russians didn’t care about the “Meat Grinder” deaths because they were either convicts, mercenaries or poor people who signed contracts to fight. The Ukraine invasion exposed the untrained young Russian conscripts who are forced to fight. When the invasion started, there were no Russian patriotism of civilians joining to fight.

  155. A landslide is soil, trees, vegetation and rocks sliding. A rock fall is rock breaking off a cliff face. A rockslide is rock and boulders sliding down a slope without soil movement. The Daily Mail reports got the term right, most other news media went with landside. An avalanche is a very fast snowslide, the Telegraph lack good editors.

  156. Storm Shadow has become the new "Boogie Man" for the Russians. Every explosion behind lines must have been because of it. The Storm Shadow is an air launched missile the ground front lines are meaningless.

  157. Putin relies on hitting large areas with brute force weapons not caring about collateral civilian injuries, while Western and Ukrainian designed weapons are design for surgical strikes destroying only military-industrial targets with Russian civilians documenting the damages without getting injured near their homes.

  158. “A harsh new decree from the North Korean government has stated that canines should only be utilized for their meat and fur, leaving citizens at risk of severe repercussions if they choose to keep their dogs as pets…“ Mar 15, 2024 10play Australia. Kim Jong-un gave his best two white meat dogs to Putin.

  159. Putin’s attack to establish what he called a “Sanitary Zone” in Ukrainian territory backfired spectacularly! The Ukrainians are now allowed to create their own “Sanitary Zone” in Russia after being attacked first to defend themselves!

  160. The $1bn Patriot air defense system out in no were protecting an obviously abandoned oil tank farm. By the shadows on the floating roof top on the oil tanks, its either empty or almost empty. The Patriot air defense system was obviously a decoy.

  161. One of the most painful injuries that one can ever experience is a burn injury. When a burn occurs to the skin, nerve endings are damaged causing intense feelings of pain. The body involuntarily gasps in pain causing the fire to enter into the lungs.

  163. It ridiculous that the Russians think that the Ukrainian drones wouldn’t see them assembling a pontoon bridge using “Cold War” techniques out in the open. The Russians are acting like the cartoon "Ostrich" sticking their heads in the sand, thinking they can't be seen!

  166.  @briansimon8969  In “Desert Storm”, bunker busting bombs had to be used against the reinforced ammo depots in Iraq. If the Russians stored their ammunition in regular unprotected warehouses, it shows how incompetent they are.

  167.  @GigglesClown  The first explosion was a huge mushroom cloud of fire indicating the initial point of contact, it wasn’t a small ammo explosion of ammo stored outside, it was the main depot.

  168.  @jb-fh2og  Putin is bankrupting Russia because of his invasion. After the war Ukraine will have to build a border wall to keep the starving Russians out of Ukraine as the West donates to rebuild Ukraine.

  169. The quick and far-reaching Ukrainian attack into Russian territories was because it was defended by young Russian conscripts from elite families from Moscow and Chechen “TikTok” soldiers playing soldiers. The paid contract Russian soldiers are from the poorer districts in Russian or convicts fighting in Ukraine for money and freedom from prison.

  180. The raid across the border with anti-Putin Russians cause so much chaos that Russians are in disarray. The Russian social media reported that police cars and uniform were stolen and that police was pulling out of the area and to shoot any Russian police still in the area before the army arrives.

  181. Because of decades of world isolation of North Korea, the North Korean soldiers are disease free of HIV, Hepatitis, and STDs, unlike the Russian soldiers recruited from Russian prisons. Injured Russian soldiers are purposely isolated away from civilian hospitals to keep them from spreading diseases in the civilian population.

  183. Putin shows his lack of international diplomacy when he referred to the language that the Peoples Republic of China speak as Chinese instead of saying Mandarin. It’s like saying Americans speaks American and Canadians speaks Canadian.

  184. The Taiwanese pager firm Gold Apollo leased their name to a Hungarian firm BAC Consulting and didn’t design or make the devices. BAC Consulting is a shell company with only an office and no manufacturing operation. No one knows who made the pagers. The walkie-talkies will probably be the same, no one knows who made them.

  187. At the start of the war in 2022, the Russian bots would say that the Ukrainians were hiding military weapons in civilian shopping centers and supermarkets and saying it was a legitimate military target and not targeting civilians; now they just keep quite acknowledging Russian terrorism on civilians!

  188.  @sebastianforbes1  Not when there were no military targets for the Russian missiles! The Ukrainians target military targets without civilian collateral damage!

  189. The Putin must be desperate to use a civilian ferry that carries passengers and civilian vehicles to transport 30 military fuel tanks to hide the delivery from the Ukrainians; I guess it didn’t work.
