    As a local Ukrainian patriot and friend going back many years, told me this morning: “Thanks to Ukraine overnight, NORAD’s job today just got a bit easier.”

      According to Zelenski the operation had 117 pilots each steering one drone. The operation was organised near an FSB-centre.

      This is like peeing on a bully's leg and asking if that was warm enough 😙

          I suspect that smuggling things into Russia is pretty easy due to rampant corruption.

                Latham, like others in the Realist school of thought never disappoint in their pessimistic view of geopolitics. He at least never seems fixated on laying blame for conflict on the US and West. Rather he just comes across as defeatist. That being said, his assessment of the facts on ground are compelling despite offering little in the way of how to contain the Kremlin once it reaches its stated (and as yet, only assumed and/or undisclosed) objectives in this particular war. I remain firmly unconvinced that Putin does not have far more imperial objectives on his menu than Latham believes.

                  I had read about what TG posted. I wonder what the source is. It’s not obviously in Ukraine’s interest to tell the Orcs how they pulled it off. It’s possible this explanation is a plant to get them to slow their logistics to a crawl for a few weeks while they open every container.

                    I agree with Reanuda that this could be a happy byproduct rather than the goal of the announcement.

                                Actually it’s Russian colloquialism for someone acting the arsehole idiot. Goes like this

                                рожа его просит кирпич.

                                    No it’s the third person singular form of the verb просить (procit’) meaning “to ask, request or,as in this context, beg”.
