  1. The Russian tourists in the Crimean Peninsular were told if they want to return to Russia they would have to drive through the combat zone along the Sea of Azov north to the land bridge back to Russia; a fun summer holiday.

  2. It was on social media the one of Putin’s diplomatic presidential jets was ban from entering Kazakhstan air space. The Kazakhstan President Tokayev said that its an internal Russian issue and didn‘t want to be involved.

  3. 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.

  5. Patients with acute radiation syndrome (ARS) classically go through four clinical phases: prodrome, latency, manifest illness, and either recovery or death. During the prodromal phase, they usually present with nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and even loss of consciousness at higher doses. With neurological symptoms like dizziness, headache, or decreased level of consciousness, occurring within minutes to a few hours, with an absence of vomiting, and is almost always fatal, even with aggressive intensive care. Most people who die from radiation sickness are killed by infections or internal bleeding. Dying from ARS is a terrible way to die.

  6. Belgorod in Russia is one of their main supply depots with train hubs linking other supply centers in Russia for the Ukrainian invasion. The Russian military lacks effective logistics to support their BTGs for a prolong period of fighting. With new Western heavy artillery and long range weapons for an offensive use being delivered to Ukrainian have put considerable pressure on the Russian military. The move from Kherson over to Moldova would expose the Russian BTGs already stretched logistic supplies to almost impossible limits; if they couldn’t do it on the shorter and occupied areas from Russian Belgorod they won‘t be able to it in the South.

  7. 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.

  8. The Russian conscripts’ barracks was an abandon technical college with large classrooms, parking lot and near cell towers for communications. The Ukrainians waited until the pings on the cell tower from all the conscripts calling home showed the technical school was heavy occupied. The HIMARS rockets hit the technical school about two minutes after midnight during the New Year’s celebration.

  9. When the Russian submarine Kursk sank in a training exercise the Russians said at first that the whole crew had been saved. When the Russian cruiser Moskva sank, the Russians said that it was because of an onboard fire and that only one person died. The Russians said that the HIMARS attack killed only 63 people.

  10. If the 70-80 armored vehicles destroyed is correct, the Russian military lost a complete front line Battalion Tactical Group (BTG) along with supporting troops in a single attack; at least 1,500+ soldiers. All of this catastrophic destruction using just artillery fire and flying cheap drones for artillery spotting, against a Russian front line BTG force.

  11. The Russian Military change of strategy is called “SPRING”! The Russian military logistics command couldn’t supply their troops via road convoy in the winter when the ground is frozen. The spring thaw will turn roads and fields into a quagmire. Their new offensive will happen near their borders with shorter supply lines.

  12. The Russian military’s contaminated equipment, vehicles, and soldiers will cause problems to neighboring Belarus, since the Russian troops are withdrawing through Belarus. Most modern armies have been training for NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) warfare decontamination situations. In a military nuclear decontamination cleaning station, it is assumed that a tactical nuclear weapon was used containing either Uranium or Plutonium that would produce limited battlefield contamination. The Chernobyl reactor disaster generated a multitude of radioactive isotopes of different elements from the reactor that had spread across the ground. Hiroshima and Nagasaki radiation contamination was cleaned up that used either Uranium or Plutonium, whereas the Chernobyl area had to be abandon. Parts of Belarus might have to be abandoned and isolated due to the Russian contaminated vehicles and equipment.

  13. The former USSR would make ethnic Russian enclaves in the countries they conquered to keep the former independent countries inline with the central government in Moscow and required Russian to be one of the official languages to be spoken. These Russian enclaves were like “Sleeper Agents” in the countries which could be activated, since their cultural ties with Russia were strong and their allegiance was with the USSR and not the countries they lived in. After the fall of the “Berlin Wall” and breakup of the USSR, the Russian enclaves began their insurrectionist movement. Putin, as a former KGB member, has activated the Sleeper Agents to do his bidding. In Moldova, minority ethnic Russian insurrections have declared their independence and desire to joint Russia. A Russian general in a news briefing indicated that Moldova would be next. In Estonia and Latvia, the ethnic Russians were deemed non-citizens if none of their ancestors had been a citizen of those countries before the Soviet occupation in 1940 and they did not request Russian citizenship, available to ethnic Russians born in the occupied countries, while it was available.

  14. It’s like the mobilized Russian soldiers on the ground looking up at the black sky in their shallow trenches and seeing a massive category 5 hurricane approaching with certain death on the horizon while Putin is telling them it will only be a light spring shower and there is nothing to worry about, while he‘s in his bunker.

  15. They were tightly packed together and when the first one trips and falls grabbing others nearby, panic starts as the weight of people starts piling down on them. Like drowning people grabbing others to stay above the water, the people at the bottom fights to get the weight of others off them. Soldiers in marching formation will keep a minimum distance when marching. The people were so close together that they couldn’t shift their feet for balance once someone lost their balance and added their weight to them, thus the “Domino” affect of falling.

  16. Before Putin invaded Ukraine, the Russian military had a live fire exercise in Belarus to prepare for the invasion with their top tier soldiers doing war game workups to get ready for the invasion. US intelligence estimated the Russians lost nearly 80,000 killed, wounded, or taken prisoners out of an estimated 150,000 to 190,000 invasion force in just the first 6 months. The Russian reserve soldiers are being sent to the front lines with little training and having to use old equipment since most of Russia’s modern equipment were either destroyed or captured in the first 6 months. The Russian reserve soldiers’ chances are very slim and are being sent as “Cannon Fodder”.

  17. Seoul’s alleyways are narrow and very steep with stairways in a lot of places, where a lot of the bars are located. If a person trips its like a “Domino” affect causing a cascade of people falling over each other buried under a waterfall of falling people.

  18. The Russian military having to withdraw their forces against a smaller military force that is located right across their own border shows how weak the Russian army is. The Russian military was just using “Smoke and Mirrors” to disguise their total lack of leadership, modern military equipment, training, and fighting strength. The Russian military has been riddled with corruption, incompetence leadership, poor moral, poor maintenance, an undisciplined army with political nepotism for the General staff for years and used it‘s propaganda to boost it‘s image to the world using just “Smoke & Mirrors“.

  19. The NATO allies that had a stockpile of former Soviet era heavy weapons will begin transferring them to Ukraine. These Soviet era weapons should be put into action fairly quickly by the Ukrainians, since they were well maintained by the NATO countries. With the extensive Russian heavy equipment losses of their active units, the Russian military will have to use their long term weapons storage units which will require maintenance. With the numerous active units that broken down during combat, it appears the Russians have a poor maintenance record on maintaining their weapons.

  20. The submersible Titan was the largest carbon fiber pressure vessel for deep diving. There was no third party inspection or certification on the carbon fiber hull. They refuse to have deep submersible association inspect the vessel. One of the few certification labels was the X-box game controller, it had an EU CE certifying it was built, manufactured and tested to EU standards.

  21. Putin firing his generals because he believes they are not loyal to him. Sun Tzu: "Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake."

  22. The mother said that she and her baby was sleeping on deck instead of in the cabins below decks. A crying and fussy baby because of the storm might have saved their lives.

  24. The resorts might not be burned down, but what about the resort workers' homes?

  25. The reason he was dismissed was because he exposed Russian’s major weakness, they lack any appreciable amount of reserves. It’s not possible for them to rotate their front line units with well rested reserve units to go home on leave as they were promised in their military contracts.

  26.  @Anna87147  As far as Ukraine is concern any Ukrainian territory occupied by Russians is a combat zone.

  28. The German made Leopard tanks and the US made F-16 fighters is the perfect match. There are more NATO countries with these weapon systems in their inventory with training facilities, spare parts depot, and maintenance depot to be able to support Ukrainian.

  30. It’s all about the MONEY! When Wagner chief Yevgeny Progozhin was prevented from recruiting prisoners it was either paying more money or losing profit. Sergei Shoigu the minister of defense has his own Private Military Contractor (PMC) Company called Patriot and is now recruiting Russian prisoners and cutting out Wagner.

  31. It wasn’t during “Mid Flight”; it was during the landing approach at low altitude and low speed otherwise the aircraft automatic depressurization system would have deployed the overhead oxygen masks. At “Mid Flight” the air pressure outside the aircraft is lower then the cabin pressure and the emergency door can not be pushed outward to open.

  32. Russian "Gaslighting". Psychologists use the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions.

  33. Putin shot himself in the foot when he blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam. The Russian southern front line had the least amount of fortified trenches. He thought that flooding the area would prevent Ukraine from attacking in the south and save some money since it would be easy to be re-supplied by the Kerch Bridge. His hubris was that the Kerch bridge could never be destroyed, now the Russian southern front is becoming the longest logistical re-supply link on the chain and Crimea is about to be taken back.

  34.  @MeazaAweke-oz8np  It's only a matter of time when it will be attacked again as soon as Ukraine receives the US ATACMS that make it in range of conventional weapons and not just attacked by specialized drones.

  38. The submersible Titan was the largest carbon fiber pressure vessel for deep diving. Most other deep submersible pressure hull is made of metal. The carbon fiber reduced the overall weight and increased the internal volume allowing it to carry five people. Carbon fiber failure mode is cracking like an egg shell and splitting of the fibers; metal will deform, bend and crumple. To monitor for carbon fiber failure, the designers installed sound monitors to detect cracking sound and hopefully allowing the pilot of the submersible to surface.

  39. The local rescue drivers are only using compressed air limiting the bottom time. They need to use mixed diving gases and get a decompressing chamber for a longer bottom time to avoid the bends.

  40. Putin is rapidly depleting his military of supplies and troops due to the extensive losses in the Northern offensive. The lost of the military equipment will require obtaining supplies from their stockpile. After seeing the poor maintenance with the extensive breakdown of their active duty equipment, the storage condition of their stockpile condition is questionable. The Russian conscript soldiers serve for one year; roughly six months training and six months serving as regular infantry or logistic supply occupation. The one year duration precludes the conscripts from going to specialized schools for advance military training and has to serve as infantry or in logistic supply. The current Russian conscript soldiers on their last six months of active duty will be held past their discharge date and former conscript soldiers integrated into civilian life will be called up to replenish their troops lost in battle. It is turning into a battle of attrition.

  44. In the “Grenfell Tower” fire in 2017 where they were so many deaths, the residences were told to shelter in place since the building was made of concrete per the building fire safety plan; now they are told to evacuate. About 500 buildings in the country were covered in the death cladding, and that it would take years to remove them from the building, I guess they weren’t kidding.

  45. Putin is a “One Trick Pony” in this thinking, just send in the tanks and he’ll win eventually in the end.

  46. When traveling in a foreign country and an emergency or natural disaster happens, the unwritten rule is; local residents come first since they vote, foreign tourists come second since they may never comeback.

  47. With the advent of commercially own and operated satellites selling their services for satellite coverage anywhere in the world to anyone willing to pay their price, the days of reporters having to sit and view the military pictures from the military news media liaison officers with their assessment of the on going battle are long gone; now civilian analyst are used to interpret the battle based on commercial satellite coverage.

  48. Putin’s mob family will have to work out a territorial deal with the other Russian crime families in regards to the Wagner rebellion. It’s like the “Godfather” books when one mob family tried to move in on another mob family’s territory. They exiled Michael Corleone to Sicily until a deal could be worked out, just like Priogzhin is exiled to Belarus until a deal can be worked out.

  49. 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.
