Pavel was the governor of the Tambov oblast. I’m told that he was friends with Leo Tolstoy. However, I don’t know anything beyond that.

Once again, the Kremlin maintains that is Ukraine’s fault:

But of course not, Putin supports the plight of the Palestinians in their struggle against US global hegemony, Zionist imperialism and Ukrainian Nazis.

@Renauda are those “River to the Sea” assholes coming the bombing of a children’s hospital?
No?
Didn’t think so.

I saw a related story with a photo of the team that attacked the children's hospital.
How long before this guy finds a window to fall from?

He defected. If the CIA has any sense, he's in Washington by now.

Poland considers downing Russian missiles over Western Ukraine:

Even discussing this option is enough to make Putin roll over in bed for nights on end. Let him squirm. He’s already lost the war and the peace anyhow..

Very. I've long wondered about the wisdom of relying on GPS.

If Putin is willing to suffer the loss of equipment and human life, the Ukrainians are gong to be conquered.
If the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon learn anything (and if history is a good teacher, they don't), fundamental changes need to be made in the U.S. military if we must fight a peer vs. peer war. Some lessons from war, and not just the Ukrainian War:
- Your enemy has technology, too. See the above video. Whatever you can do, they can counter, and vice-versa.
- With a few exceptions, Wunderwaffe do not win wars.
- In a static war of attrition, defense is less costly in terms of equipment and casualties than offense.
- Combined maneuver warfare does not work well without air parity, or better, air superiority.
- Quantity has a quality of its own.
- Modern combat is voracious in terms of munitions and equipment.

The military has been testing GPS interference technology off the coast of North Carolina for at least 15 years that I know about.
They still do it regularly. The FAA publishes notices to pilots letting them know when this testing is being done.
I have no idea what they are actually doing, but they are working on it.
