A fool who believes economy can turn the world into a better place. Loves movies too!

Our soldiers quickly captured two enemy columns of armored vehicles, including modern T-72B3s and even T-90Ms. Instead of simply blowing up the tanks, they did something the Russians certainly did not expect.

Ukrainian crews got into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the radios, adopted the Russians' call signs, and set off on a deep raid behind enemy lines, posing as friendly forces.

The Russian columns moved calmly, believing they were safe. Our tank crews quickly neutralized the original crews, mastered the equipment, and blended into the Russian traffic flow. They spoke Russian over the radio, used the correct call signs, and imitated the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, they were waved through without suspicion: "Go ahead, guys."

The Ukrainians then calmly drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.

Once inside, they suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. The headquarters, supply depots, and vehicle park were turned into an inferno within minutes. Russian troops ran in panic between tents, firing in every direction, but it was already too late. They had allowed a "Trojan horse" onto their own base.

The operation was carried out brilliantly. Ukrainian forces seized the headquarters, captured officers, destroyed key facilities, and withdrew with minimal losses.

Hodges: The idea that Russia has infinite manpower is a myth.

Russia has under 140 million people, many young men are dead or gone, and the Kremlin avoids mobilizing Moscow and St. Petersburg because that would make the disaster impossible to hide.

@Owlserviced @Aella_Girl Ahaha. Well said.

@soxthegob @soxthegob - ChatGPT confirms your instinct - soccer or basketball will likely see you getting injured within a year. Skydiving, not so much. But dying of soccer is exceedingly rate while it's small but not zero skydiving.

And so sorry to hear about your experience. Stay safe.

@brianluidog You’re so right, @brianluidog. @Aella_Girl should work really hard on banning skydiving, bunjy jumping, parkour, parachutism, small planes piloting and ocean diving…

Your opinion is not brave. It is deeply uninformed.

The way we torture pigs is a sin. We can afford to pay a little more for one kind of food in order to not torture hundreds of millions of these poor animals.

@Romy_Holland Till they get 12-14 ; then it’s tougher…

Solving the world's most pressing problems shouldn't be a jobs program. It's a goal in and of itself, and we're well served to use the most effective and efficient paths to get there.

There is so much meaningful work for humans to do. And possibly more all the time.

@BicycleSocials @MomaBera Yeah and I disagree with both her and you. You seem unable to think people different from you exist. Women get the same shit from the other angle. “You have rape fantasies? Clearly you would enjoy being raped for real”. No, no and no.

@NoahTopper @RosieCampbell I love the dress-bra thing and the sparkling hat! Happy anniversary!

@phenoatypical @kenthecowboy_ IDK. That seems a universal thing. I remember a TA describing his PhD as an exercise in cultish devotion to the established professors.

[Frederic Mari @FredericMari]

@kenthecowboy_ @phenoatypical I don’t think that’s obvious, actually. As someone else pointed out, their track record might be better than night clubs, bars, university clubs, churches etc.

[Frederic Mari @FredericMari]

@xurbanxcowboyx F or G, surely?

@HDaniels1959 @Noahpinion Learn to read, buddy

[Frederic Mari @FredericMari]

@ProfesorLeviosa @Noahpinion Someone manages to read my comment correctly. And it’s a professor with 2 Fs. What am I doing wrong with my writing?

[Frederic Mari @FredericMari]

@AriZerner I'm good, thanks.

[Frederic Mari @FredericMari]

@MomaBera @AriZerner Seconding @AriZerner's comment... That coffee shop was recommended to me by my colleague who's a coffee snob... He looked up the coffee machines of the various coffee places in/around the Financial District. What would be your pick in SF?

[Frederic Mari @FredericMari]

@bartek4735 @Noahpinion That doesn't quite contradict what I said, though, does it? Read again and note the "I'm not pro-Russian or pro-Soviet"
