... in eastern Europe (gah) Always an effective tool for de-escalation, NOT *. (facepalm) * I acknowledge that there have historically been instances where such exercises have been used to intimidate the opponents into abandoning their intentions, however they can't possibly think that is an appropriate ...

Blown my knee out offshore. I’ve been given a lackey to do my ladder climbing and running about, I just have to tell him what valves to operate and where. Good news is I’ve been taken off Fire Team Leader as well. Had an actual call out a few days ago, which luckily was a fire detector failure. ...

... a lot of questions about the Russians convictions for this second offensive. It's been pretty quiet today. Maybe yesterday was just a test to see where the UA was and the numbers https://twitter.com/mdmitri91/status/1516796704816832512?t=MzlQPmqajViuVjSEJPv0tA&s=19" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

... a need for a cage prison just for this purpose? They sit in a small box, they can't hear conversation, they can't make conversation, they shit where they eat and eat where they shit. No exercise, no freedom, just a life of sitting in a box where locals can judge him and where he can regret ...

... in Ross on Wye Thursday morning then work our way to Carmarthen. We're going to stop at the Boar's Head for a couple of nights. No plans yet for where we're going to be on the Saturday but probably on the western coastline. Then head home on the Sunday.

... of tied up bodies. Lots of photos of dead Russians but they look a long time dead. That suggests that the Russians were leaving their comrades where they fell.

Lengthy read but worth it. 12 on 2 in air combat where you can't even see your enemy yet you know they have active missiles. How only 1 Ukrainian died is astonishing!

... as the whole reason for their being is commercial and with the full idea of lending you more money for which they receive a fee. I do appreciate where you are Cav as I think it’s a part of sending your through the whole financial journey of life and I am fortunate enough to be at the other end ...

... cost of importing or exporting anything from or via Europe up, the endless mass dumping of raw sewage in our lakes, rivers and oceans to the point where it’s no longer safe to swim in natural bodies of water, the effective outlawing of protest, mass corruption in government with no checks and balances, ...

I want to know the true middle ground of where the fault lies between NATO and Russia. I bet it's a lot closer to the middle or possibly even NATO at fault than the media portray. I wonder how much propaganda we've been receiving over the decades. ...

... you realise I'm not discussing the actions of Russia. Those are irrefutable. I'm talking about the Cold War, the actions of NATO in 1991 (IIRC) where they were actively seeking to push east and then the follow up actions of Russia in 1999 with the bombing of Checnya. Depending on where you draw ...

... up to 943/1000 with an average in my area of 580. I think I will keep one credit card for "Stuff" like online purchases and one-off's where the extra protection can come in handy, get it paid off every month or 2.

... on a bike for the first time in many years. two of the guys were ex army and i assume the guy they built the sidecar for was injured in combat somewhere as he was also the same.

... The ride there was cold, it may look sunny but your soon reminded it's still early spring. Traffic and driving standards on the way back where both appalling. Was great to get out though, audio great to see kingfixer. Let's hope this is the first of many rides. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 ...

... while talks go on just to try and force Ukrainian hands. It's so hard to see the pictures of these bombed towns. There's a video on Twitter where 2 Russian soldiers are holding back a protesting crowd. Just fecking jump the b@stards. Why aren't we seeing pictures of Ukrainian people overwhelming ...
