So glad to see Anonymous getting its hands dirty again.

Anonymous are effectively the 21st Century version of Antifa, except mainly focusing on cyber actions vs street fighting.



"You watch the neighborhood, we'll watch the skies."

Why did I immediately think of that one meme with Erdogan and Mugabe?

So Germany just radically changed almost a century of state policy on defense and Scholz is the one who did it?

A very interesting read from the UK’s leading war studies academic, Lawrence Freedman, on the huge difficulties the Russians are facing:

Quote
In my previous post I explained why I thought that this war had begun badly for Russia and was likely to end badly. Even if the military campaign progressed with greater efficiency Putin was still likely to lose because he was following a delusional strategy – reflecting his belief that Ukraine was a non-state with no national identity, that Kyiv could be taken quickly, so that President Zelensky could be deposed, and that a compliant puppet regime could be installed in his stead. Nothing has yet happened to make me change that view.

I also warned that the coming days would be rougher and tougher, and so sadly it is proving, although if anything I understated the faltering character of the first waves of the Russian offensive. A high human and strategic price is now being paid by Moscow for some haphazard and arrogant planning, and for failing to think through the worst case as well as the best. 

It might be thought that a few days of limited progress will soon become irrelevant once the raw power of the Russian armed forces are brought to bear, but this is wrong. The first days set the conditions for those to come. They affect the transition from the first stage of conventional warfare to the next stage of urban warfare and potentially the stage after that of resistance to an unwelcome occupation.

The arrogance of landing a handful of paratroopers in Kiev's airport and thinking that would be enough to overthrow the city was astounding.

Thats a computer game strategy.

Can confirm. Would've done the same.

I thought it was called “rushing”.

They aren't mutually exclusive

What impact do y'all think this war will have long-term, in regards to Turkey's role in NATO?

Sultan Erdogan will make Turan real and an integral part of NATO to dab on the Chinese.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Jeb! wins meme made about him yet.

Edit: Many thanks to TimTurner for remedying this critically important problem
