Hi. Segundo.
Hilux is still available in manual.
More than one restaurant fortune has been made on the importance of being seen at lunch. Likewise, the morning coffee at the height of the Melbourne gangland wars.
“Their actions still have consequences and their mental state now is as dangerous as it was two years ago.
It’s denialism.
It’s weakness.”
No, Struth, no.
The best analogy I have is war – on a contentious basis.
Some believe and willingly enlist to “do their bit”.
Some are against it, but are conscripted – these are faced with a stark choice.
Either resist and immediately be punished financially and socially, along with those they have freely accepted responsibility to provide for and to protect.
Or to go anyway – hoping to avoid death or permanent, irreversible change to protect those they have freely accepted responsibility to provide for and to protect.
Like many such conscripts, I have chosen to risk everything for those I care about, rather than stand on principle and see those same ones suffer immediately.
It is the choice between bad and worse – there is no good choice. And while one choice has known and immediate consequences, the other has unknown future consequences that may not even eventuate, and may be restricted to the individual themselves.
So the majority pick bad over worse, now over the future, those they care for and about over themselves.
Yet you either fail or refuse to see this stark choice.
You fail to see or refuse to acknowledge that those who reluctantly comply are likely not doing so for personal benefit, but for the benefit of others.
You call us craven, stupid and in denial – we are not. We have done what we must, what we feel is our duty to others, even though we do not like it and would never freely choose it.
And you call us such names despite apparently having the resources to personally avoid the necessity of facing the same choice yourself.
So I ask you, in light of the above, who is craven? Who is stupid? And who is in denial? And I would suggest that the answer to all three is that it is you, not I.
Let’s say oil goes to $175 a barrel. That could mean $2.80 a liter here.

Thanks JC. Perhaps you, me and mUnty can grab a steak if I make it back to Melbournibad. Bit of a problem getting back into WA at the moment.
Mole, I have been accumulating a fracker start in the Texas oil patch, which is a place the White House lunatics can’t and won’t touch.

Helen Clark

I was working at RAAF Fairbairn and was having a beer in the RAAFie Sergeant Mess after work some time in 2000/2001. There were two RNZAF Sergeants having a beer and it had been announced that Helen Clarke had decided to shitcan the fighter arm of the RNZAF. The US had offered the Kiwis a brilliant deal on F16s, spares, training and maintenance training to replace the Skyhawks which the previous conservative government was going to sign. To say those two Kiwis were pissed off would be an understatement. There was a lot of colourful language about the Man Women’s ancestry and brain power, especially by the Kiwi female Sergeant.

Some war analyst (Fred Kagan) says: [ https://youtu.be/YDElXTPm3VQ?t=676 ]
How do we know that Kagan isn’t simply using JBP to whitewash and spread neocon war hawk propaganda to conservatives? Were there false flag attacks by Russia, or were there false flag attacks by Ukraine, or fake stories of Russian false flag attacks made up by Ukraine/USA, etc.
I guess this is why the information war is crucial prior to real war. People attach themselves to information sources and don’t easily change. Sucking people in to a source that can be twisted at short notice, or (in this case) being able to hijack an established credible player’s audience, is then important for establishing useful fog at convenient times.
Kagan later [20:10] reveals he is not simply dispassionately analytical but is advocating for (even “working for”) a Ukrainian victory.
The line that this invasion is an “unprovoked” aggression is plausible, but that doesn’t prove it.
It’s also somewhat irrelevant, as it shifts the focus away from international law and the Minsk agreements, where the assumption is that any invasion is not legal when the only provocation being alleged is activity on the Ukraine side of the fence, and so is an entirely domestic affair.
Just because various international and Ukrainian corrupt vested interests will benefit if Zelenskyy wins does not mean Putin is absolved of all wrongdoing.
The strong possibility that Russia will keep the areas it has already captured in the east as a consolation prize for ending the war is contrary to some of Putin’s stated rationale for (what started as) the “special operation”. Given that all the neo-Nazis (“Azov”) are in the western side of the country, a goal of de-Nazification isn’t convincing as a true motive of the invasion if Putin is willing to give up any possibility of achieving such a purge.
The theory advanced last week (h/t to whichever Cat posted it) by Kamil Galeev that Putin was banking on a quick win and underestimated the resistance and later escalation, with domestic machismo being his only real goal, is beginning to look like the true answer.
Watched it live. Could not believe my eyes, nor could Gatting.
On that length Walters would be playing back also, although yes Dougie liked to advance too.
Gatting was a little more sedate than Dougie though.
Yeah, sorry about that Cats.

Stroof must have been feeling his Death Gluten this morning.
And all because he’s spent the last 2 days deflecting from his angry (and particularly Nuffish) claim that people in this country were building DeAtH CaMpS on Day One of the covid crisis, when the first and only facility he can cling to at Wellcamp was privately built, not originally planned for quarantine purposes and appeared some 19 months later.
And an ASX-mandated financial report from the biggest freight railway company in Australia utterly exploded his other lie about railways being paid GoVeRnMeNt SuBsIdIeS in order to exist.
I am sorry that he has chosen to spoil your peace in response, Cats.

JC the Italians removed lane marking after a test showed people were more courteous without the markings coz they couldn’t prove to the insurers they were in the right. The accident rate went down. The road to the coast I use often used to be narrow tarmac with gravel 100kph, no centreline. Only saw the results of 2 prangs by obvious drunks. Now sealed lanes marked 80kph, bloody hopeless. Place your life in other peoples hands now, apart when wife drives and she is a hazard to everyone.

My thesis is that the Russians will win and the sanctions remain for at least another year or so. I also don’t think the Hidens will do anything to make US supplies materially more plentiful. If the minors have proven reserves they will sell quite well to the majors.
Just a bet.
It certainly is. I recently got some from the Perth Mint.
It’s pretty easy in WA, as thru Perth Mint, you can either purchase a right to a quantity online and trade it, or order physical bullion for personal storage, delivery to you or some limited storage onsite. And if you want to convert your bullion to a quantity of cash, you roll in and they will buy it off you. They will buy gold jewellery too.
I’m not sure what options are available on the East Coast, but I cannot imagine that there are not similar sevices in Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra.
Yes, yes they are. 😀

Yes, of course. Right now might not be the best time to buy as the spot price is grading upwards day by day, but physical gold has traditionally been regarded as a safe haven during troubled times.
Buy from the Perth Mint or Royal Australian Mint, reasonable markup, quality guaranteed.
Never, ever purchase sight unseen from online “dealers”. I have seen some unbelievably good counterfeits fool expert gold buyers.

Thanks for the read from Kamil Galeev, CCB.
It’s interesting that of what I’ve read from the while affair so far, he’s the only one who’s looked at the mental and motivational aspects of the fight. What he calls the ‘mythos’ in his thread.
Fascinating. 🙂
Better buying gold coin as the government can still claim gold as a reserve in bullion form but not legal tender. Pay a premium of course. My old lawyer had a huge old gold coin collection for that reason.
Bruce. With proper technique Gatting could have played the ball comfortably, bat and pad together.
Dopey – Yes. I think it was a surprise. I did this once, one of those memorable moments. We hosted a vacation student – she was a lanky lass A grade in the Melbourne ladies comp, so a few of us would go down after work to nets. I normally like to bowl medium pace, but at nets liked to mix it up. She was handling the medium pace very well. Soes I thinks to myself I’ll try a Warnie leggie. Which I can get maybe fifty fifty.
Nailed it perfectly just as she did the double step down the wicket to hoist it over long on.
Wiff! I have never seen a more confused face on a cricketer, male nor female….
Sounds good.
I used to wonder whether those $200 gold coins the mint put out were actually worth $200 if they were melted down for the gold. Or whether it was just a convention like a banknote where the government promised to pay you $200 for one.
I bought one, but gave it to mum when she wanted to give one to each of the grandkids. What would it be worth now, would it even have kept pace with inflation?

Hope is not a strategy. Better to take the lifestyle hit up front while still having your health.

Just spent three hours last night (and north of $350) putting up with a couple of blowhards who booked the particular restaurant for that reason.
Roped in by family and it only happens when I positively can’t avoid it.
The big dilemma.
Do we book the private room to indicate high table status, but risk not being seen?
Or do we book a table out with the regular blowhards and try one-up them with the wine purchase?
Thanks Eyrie.
I learnt to drive crashboxes.
Don’t see them around much now.
Yesterday on their ABCcess they had one of those dreary “Aunties” on to wibble ablout “First nations representation in the LGBT peak groups”..
As per the usual script this lady wanted to complain ‘when i looked around the room (in some inner city enclave) I couldnt see myself being reflected back, there was no-one else of my background there”….
a few points.
Aboriginals make up 3.3% of the population (including numerous Pascoes)
Apparently 44% live country areas 9not including remote) which was her second whine.
So being charitable that leaves a 2% chance of her “seeing herself reflected”.
But wait, theres also her licker license to take into account, apparently 3% of the population.
Thats something like a 0.06% chance of “seeing herself’.
Good to see the ABC tackling the big, mainstream issues.
Narcissism , its not just for breakfast anymore.
Which is why, if you take a gold bar to a gold buyer, he’ll put it in an ultrasonic imager.
“Do you guys keen on manuals want manual mixture adjust and ignition timing too?”
Nope – all for computer engine management. Best thing since sliced bread, especially in a manual in traffic.
Manuals change the way you drive – you need considerably more situational awareness to ensure you are in the right gear. Should be required to obtain your license in a manual IMO, because, unless you have the physical coordination of a spastic in a tumble drier, it’s not that difficult to drive one, and the aforementioned situational awareness is a great accident prevention skill.
Depends what is in them.
If it was an actual 1/4 oz gold coin or something like that, the value may be somewhat greater now.

There are many ways to disguise base metals as gold and has been done for thousands of years.
Fortunately, modern technology has killed off the more obvious counterfeit attempts, but the practice still continues, like this example from 2017;
Chinese sellers were buying genuine gold bars from reputable brokers, hollowing out the interior of the bar and replacing it with tungsten, which has a specific gravity and density that matches that of 99% gold.
The bars had proper serial numbers, papers and hallmarks and the exterior tested as 99% pure. The scam was only detected when a bar was subjected to electronic testing. Many millions of dollars worth of counterfeit had been sold before somebody decided to properly test the bars.
Ancient gold coins have been melted down with a portion of the gold content removed and replaced with silver and recast. Old coins had no standard purity level so a lot of these recast coins found their way into the market, unfortunately worthless once detected.
There is a very sophisticated method of blending gold and tungsten using high tech methods that is extremely difficult to detect, but I am not going into detail for obvious reasons.
Buy from the Mint and you won’t get dudded.
There is genuine respect for Warnie, that’s why I’m ok with it. He’s a true legend.

I get that but it’s the ones expoiting it.
The mask madness continues in WA, even in my little country town.
Been out all morning and catching up…
Wrt the convoy, the puzzle is not why had it stopped , and seriously even if it were Dodgy tyres, why aren’t they moving them off the side of the road and moving on? Don’t the Russians need the stuff in the convoy? Second puzzle, no cam netting up, I know of lot of modern gear can make cam useless, but seriously why make it easy? The third is why no attacks,? none of the footage has shown any AA, nor can I see any disturbed ground for shell scrapes for the drivers.
Wrt to masks only very very oldies wearing them at Kawana Shopping centre and in beautiful downtown Caloundra.
Thank you for the detailed explanation Pedro.

Is the USA/ West engaged in displacement with Russia?
3psychology
a: the redirection of an emotion or impulse from its original object (such as an idea or person) to another
Russia is a shitty kleptocracy fighting another fairly shitty country.
Is the US/West in general engaging in poo flinging so loudly over this because it helps soothe the mental pain of having offshored a massive chunk of their productive economies to China, which has actually engaged in near genocide of an ethic population.
And at the same time actively engaging in economic warfare and quite old fashioned realpolitik to advance their cause.
And because w are no so dependent on cheap plastic dogshit all the great and good have had to ignore their “values” because they know they might have to personally take a hit if they were serious about the issues.
So along comes a nice simple “Russia is the bad guy” narrative they can get all hairy chested about and all that pent up realization of their impotence against China has a new target.

The ADF would have fast tracked their Australian citizenship for it to happen.
Prior to 1982/3 you could keep your British or New Zealand citizenship and be in the ADF. After 82/83 it changed and you had to be an Australian citizen.
One of my wife’s Kiwi cousins was in the Army at the same unit I was posted to at that time, and she elected to take discharge. Fast forward to 2020, she, her daughter and granddaughter decided to become Australian citizens. Go figure. 😉
I’m with Montenegro.
From what I’ve pieced together, there was an initial plan of ~2 weeks, that included bold move like airborne forces to seize areas. Now is consolidation, refit and rearm, and adjusting plans based on the progress that’s been made. That’s about as far as I’m game to speculate ATM.

Agree that manuals are way more fun to drive. Double-clutching to set yourself up for fast cornering or when you want the engine to do the braking rather than the middle peddle – you can’t do this stuff with a slush box.
(I know some modern sports manuals have push-button rev-matching tech but it’s far more satisfying to do it yourself.)
And yeah I get that an auto with a hydraulic clutch is going to shift gears way faster than a human ever could, so you’re better off with the machine doing the work for you. Hell, even when it comes to conventional autos, modern torque converters are far more efficient than they used to be, so the performance/fuel economy gap between manuals and autos isn’t as compelling as it was in the past.
There’s also the fact that the vast majority of cars sold new now are autos – soon, they all will be with the exception of specialist vehicles. If I bought a regular car with a manual transmission today, I’d be worried about resale, as it seems more and more buyers don’t want a manual box. So everything is pushing towards going with the auto.
But manuals are simply more fun. Even if you’re driving an older car that’s slow and boring – just working the box to wring what you can out of it makes the drive more enjoyable.
“…even if it were Dodgy tyres, why aren’t they moving them off the side of the road and moving on? “
More to the point: what genius decided that taking up the entire road – instead of enforcing a “free” lane, just in case – was a good idea? They aren’t that bad at logistics planning after their defeat in Afghanistan, surely. Begs the question: is it deliberate – either to justify retaliation, or as a trap. Dunno, but it’s sure weird to see what look like such “beginner” mistakes.

Diogenes – In the photos I see they tend to keep a lane free, and the rest of the vehicles are parked in the other lane. But also if they try to go off the tarmac the results appear to be bad. It’s early in the season, but already looks like the road base on the sides is getting unstable and muddy.
The Ukrainians blew the bridges to Kiev, so it’s difficult to get mechanized infantry and armour into the city.
Not much point, they’re sitting on the equivalent of the Pacific Hwy. They can’t go off it without getting stuck in mud.
The reports are the Ukrainian Air Force are still in the air, but it’s obvious they dare not go near the northern sector. Russian S-300s are deadly, plus several other systems. There seem to’ve been a few strikes against the convoy, but pretty rare. Some infantry raids too. But between lack of fuel, bad tyres and no bridges the convoy seems stuck. If they don’t patrol sufficiently the Ukrainian raiders will have a fun time with them if this situation continues.
Once in the AAR it was a weekend. The call went out for volunteers. Me, being a poor student said pick me! They did. So I spent two days being lectured by OCTU candidates in “patrolling”. Boring at the time although I got paid for it. But now I’ve been reading about the experience of the AIF in New Guinea do I understand. Patrolling Aussies ate the Japanese like a mouse plague in NSW. Quite amazing how powerful the tactic was.
I don’t know if the Russians are doing this north of Kiev, but if they aren’t they’re screwed.
(Iirc Diogenes you may’ve reached an august AAR rank that I only dreamt of, so forgive me if I’m telling you to suck eggs.)

Dispassionate descriptions. Compared to what you will hear on the MSM, you may wonder whether the MSM are even talking about the same conflict.
Today’s summary:
Key Takeaways
Russian forces have advanced rapidly on the eastern outskirts of Kyiv likely from the Sumy axis and may attempt to encircle and/or attack the capital on the east bank of the Dnipro in the coming 24-48 hours;
Russian troops did not press a ground offensive against Kharkiv in the last 24 hours but have instead diverted forces to the west and southeast, likely supporting efforts against Kyiv and in and around Donbas respectively;
Russian troops have surrounded Mariupol and are attacking it brutally to compel its capitulation or destroy it;
Russian forces have renewed their ground advance on Mykolayiv, having secured Kherson city, likely to set conditions for a further attack toward Odesa. Russian naval infantry are likely poised to conduct amphibious landings near Odesa when Russian forces have secured or are close to securing a reliable ground route from Crimea to Odesa.

However what’s got her really angry this time (as her rush of typos attests to), is also being called out on her taking, compiling, tweaking & selling the work of others as her own.

Yes Bruce Russian surface to air missiles are deadly and Ukraine has some of those which is probably another reason the Russian air force is MIA. For all the speculation about the stalled convoy everyone is forgetting the obvious: they’re all getting drunk.

Meanwhile, you – who has not been forced into such a choice – attempt to poke fun at my situation and my choices. Not very gentlemanly or ethical in my view, but do as you will. Your rants show your true colours, and I leave it to others to decide who is making the more moral choices here. I have made mine based on what is appropriate for me, and expect others to do the same. I would have preferred that the government did not force such distasteful choices upon me, but I cannot change the past.
That you aim such propaganda at me as some sort of defense, when I have clearly stated many times that I find the mandates to be utterly and completely wrong is, quite frankly, disgusting.
Your lack of ability to take the nuances and variations of different people into account, and instead make it a simple black and white, good vs bad case shows, in my view, the shallow nature of your position and the weakness of your argument. It seems that you are taking the position that any who do not agree with you in the entirety of your position are wrong and to be derided. Quite pathetic – even childish. But then, you have already shown a complete lack of empathy, and the willingness to judge others based on incomplete knowledge here before, so in truth I am hardly surprised that you have not changed or learned – such absolutists as you present as here rarely do, often to their own detriment.
My hope that presenting “the other side” might make you more carefully consider was clearly in vain, however others may benefit from it, and if so, the effort was not wasted. And so I will continue to “waste my time” pointing such out to you, however much you may despise me – it is not always about you, regardless of your narcissism and self pride.

Zulu – Thanks for that article by David Kilcullen. I always find him a bit too insiderish, but lots of good observations in that piece.
The Hostomel comments are especially interesting, plus the link to the overall strategy of the mechanized advance from the north. Hostomel is looking increasingly like what might’ve been in Crete. Unlike our guys, who’d just evacuated from Greece without their stuff, the Ukrainians were ready and had a sizeable force on the ground. They appear to’ve counterattacked decisively.
On such things you have to think the Ukrainian estimates of Russian casualties are more accurate. What, two para battalions at Hostomel? I doubt they’d commit less than that. They’re all dead, that’s 1,500 Russians. Plus elsewhere. The Russian General Staff must be crapping their Depends by now.

Yeah, not so much any more, which is why I rarely bother. A couple of years ago I clocked up the grand total of 481 kilometres in the twelve months between registrations. Nowadays I prefer to take the car out of Sydney where I can wind it out to the fullest. The drive south and back through the Royal National Park (when it’s not ablaze) is my favourite.
As for not driving the damn thing, when I used to drive from Sydney to Canberra or vice versa, you could put the cruise control on and you would barely be driving the thing, especially on straight sections of the expressway – then the biggest danger was trying to stay awake. The other incredible thing about the cruise control was that once I started using it, I was using a third less fuel per trip, which was a significant saving both ways.
But yeah, I want to actually drive a car, not just sit in it.

Sadly, it’s faithful Catholics (such as those at Church Militant, who do fight the good fight against the many corruptions in The Church hurting people), who get tossed into the ‘bad Catholic’ basket by those who cry, “Pell!”, at the drop of hat (as if it gives them some sort of Catholic Authority over those they treat as their ‘lessers’), while they keep conveniently ‘forgetting’ the billions slushing around Vatican & other Catholic coffers being used for things like ‘gates’ in Victoria when the “Get Pell!” campaign still needed (and got), heavy funding.
The truly bad Catholics are those who protect & defend corrupt clergy & politicians who hide behind their ‘Catholicism’ while they help Global Atheism push along it’s terrible Anti-Christ, Anti-Humanity Agenda.

On second thought Hostomel is Arnhem v2.0. But even worse than what happened to the Poms.
Anyone wishing to understand what is wrong at the ALPBC (talk about preaching to the converted) should have a look at the Four Corners Tweet reproduced by Nancy in this week’s Media Watchdog. After being hollowed out by the Marxists in the 70s, a process beautifully described by an insider over on Quadrant, they have replaced by crusading, premenopausal Karens. And apparently that is the best of Aunty’s News and Current Affairs department.

I think Crete is the better analogy.
Boxheads made severe intelligence errors about the defenders including being sucked in that AA defenses around the airfields were negligible.
They lost a lot of transports to AA.
The Russkies seemed to have done the same error.
Reading bevors book on the campaign is a great “what if”, the main one being if they (Kiwis) had reinforced at the one airfield still being contested rather than withdrawing the campaign would almost certainly have been lost by about the 3rd day.
The group defending it was low on ammo, had a lot of casualties and thought they had been cut off after reinforcements they were supposed to have had didnt arrive.
And their coms were completely crap.

Is that some commercial real-estate buyer’s advice there?

Unless there has been a major re-development there in the last decade or so (unlikely, given the local demographic), Ainslie is a small suburban shopping centre, far from a major mall.
So his estate should be able to pay for his own funeral, then?
I disagree with that assessment, Bruce. But only in relation to the scale of the operation and how close behind the follow-up echelons were.
Arnhem very nearly succeeded, but for a day’s delay at Nijmegen because of garbled orders and misunderstanding of objectives by the 82nd Airborne. 30 Corps’ spearhead was thus forced to help them take the main bridges instead, rather than using that time to force their way to Oesterbeek and beyond.
The closest equivalents might be Eben Emael in 1940, or the Pegasus Bridge attack or Merville Battery attack in 1944, if stiffer and more alert resistance and no timely follow-up support had seen the annihilation of the German and UK coups de main for no effect.
Warnie was basically Richie Benaud with coke, smokes and groupies. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Putin is in the tank for Western Intelligence, so it could be his Wehrmacht stopping at Dunkirk moment.
Dickless Ed jumps the shark, with Putin as a western spook!
Snap, Mole!
“The bridges were to be seized with thunderclap surprise.” What’s garbled about that?
Probably means that Durham is a bust as far as she is concerned.
What’s being evacuated across the sea, Grigs?
And in a military as mechanised as Russia’s, and the fact that the biggest manoeuvre units in the field are Regiments (2-4 Battalions, if we use the traditional, non-Armour terminology 🙂 ), what possesses you to think that Infantry Divisions are still walking into battle?
So he was dealing?
You get the feeling these are the guys in the firing line. At best, a couple of frock shops hanging off a Colesworths. I suspect the economics will see a lot of them carved up for apartments at some point in the future. It is tough to get large lots in established suburbs.
It’s already clear that Russia has reset the game. This is changing the calculus for every NATO nation, especially the Scandinavian and Baltic states that might be next on Moscow’s menu. Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Poland and Estonia have offered increased military assistance to Ukraine, Finnish leaders are talking about joining NATO……
Finland, and to a lesser extent Sweden, need to think very very carefully about joining NATO. Finland (and Sweden) is the ‘upper northern’ buffer between NATO and Russia from nearby NATO member Norway.
NATO in Finland will draw NATO even more into the Barents Sea. Russian nuclear submarine port Murmansk is just near the border with Finland. Jeezus people, think this through. Now is not the time (although I doubt there will ever be a time).
Zelenskyy Losing Ground, Embattled Hero Compared to Churchill Now Slams NATO for Refusing No-Fly Zone
March 4, 2022 | Sundance | 96 Comments
Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly survived three, yes three, assassination attempts in the past 48 hours, according to Fox News and Lindsey Graham’s BFF, Sean Hannity. According to U.S. officials, a shadowy Kremlin-linked squad known as the Wagner Group, were behind the objective.
While details from the U.S. intelligence community are sketchy, two attempts may have involved anvils dropping from cliffs, though one of them could have been a piano. The third attempt appears loosely connected to the notorious Acme TNT gang who have been directly linked to Wile E Coyote; a dubious conspirator currently being investigated by Interpol.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration, along with the NATO security alliance, has rejected Zelenskyy’s demands to establish a no-fly zone over fears that it could spark a direct military confrontation between the U.S. and Russia. This has angered the modern Churchill in a T-shirt, who railed against NATO after the last refusal:
WASHINGTON DC – […] “Knowing that new strikes and casualties are inevitable, NATO deliberately decided not to close the sky over Ukraine,” Zelensky said in an emotional video address. The president urged NATO to think about “all those people who will die because of you.”
“Because of your weakness, because of your disunity, all the alliance has managed to do so far is to carry fifty tons of diesel fuel for Ukraine,” he said. “Is this the alliance you were building?” (read more)
Meanwhile, the 20-mile-long Russian convoy of heavy equipment that was a few miles outside of Kyiv a week ago, is still a 20-mile-long Russian convoy of heavy equipment that is still a few miles outside of Kyiv.

No, I meant the priority given to taking the bridge vs. the Grosbeck Heights. That confusion allowed a single SS Recce Battalion to occupy the hitherto unheld bridge first, which 2 SS Pz Corps. elements made the centre of their increasingly stubborn resistance.

seems a bit sad- why the big sale I wonder
I’ve had a long standing interest in the battle of Arnhem, ever since working with a group of expat Brits in the early 1970’s – most of them were World War Two veterans, and three of them were XXX Corps veterans. I’ve walked over both Arnhem and Nijmegen – “What went on on the high ground at Nijmegen had no bearing on what happened at the bridge.” It always strikes me as nonsense that, having failed to take the bridge at Nijmegen, almost guaranteeing the failure of the operation, the Americans pointed the big finger at XXX Corps for “Stopping to drink tea” on the way up.
Mole – That’s been my reading of the history: until 1942 coms were totally crap. In 1943 they improved a lot. It made an enormous difference, since battalion commanders unlike 2500 years ago no longer needed Athens-style marathon guys to tell them what was happening. Which is what they were relying on in 1942.

Nor really – someone fairly widely read on the subject, and with a reasonable grasp of the subject, is wondering just what you are raving on about, now.
Speedy – Not really. Putin is sensitive about former parts of the Tsarist Russian Empire/Soviet Empire joining NATO. Which doesn’t include Finnish snipers and Swedish gryphons.
The issue with Ukraine is that they were earmarked as an essential part of the remanufactured empire, so it was unacceptable to Putin for Ukraine to join NATO.
What has been mentioned nowhere is that IF the alliance HAD ALREADY admitted Ukraine then this war would never have happened. Putin would not have dared bite off Ukraine in such a circumstance.
NATO is a defensive alliance. They are no threat to anyone. Indeed they’re woke and useless, but sufficiently big as to give pause to people who want bits of them.

I saw something there that I’d like. It even had cup holders!
And definitely a manual. 😀
Rex – Those operations were the exact opposite of the Hostomel paradrop. The former three succeeded, the latter was a bloody disaster. That’s why I say the coup de main Hostomel assault and air-bridge attempt is worse than Arnhem. Like Arnhem the Russians wanted to use paradrops to open a way into the heart of their objective. In Market Garden the Poms nearly succeeded. In Hostomel the Russians were obliterated.

It’s pretty clear now with the land bridge secure across to Crimea, Russia can support their ground forces to advance north and also south from Kharkov region to take all of Eastern Ukraine.

Any actual evidence for your suggestion that Putin is a tool of western intelligence? Or was it just another of your many brain farts?
In all fairness, Serbia were being murderous arseholes and upsetting all the neighbours (including a number of NATO Members).
If ‘NATO’ as a whole didn’t do it, and then send KFOR in after the second round regarding Kosovo, then the US would have done it alone, under the now-reviled concept of being a ‘good neighbour.’ Or one or more of the hitherto uninvolved neighbours would have got stuck in.

No Grigs, not a hatstand. I just read it once rather than alluded to having done so because that would be poor form.
Yeah, in all fairness Serbs and other Non-Muslims weren’t accepting Rape Jihad and other positioning to inflict Dhimmitude on them like the UK still does.
They had the gall (and memory of not too distant history), to fight back, hard, because they also knew ‘good will’ negotiations were only seen as more weakness to be taken full advantage of.
Sadly, their warnings of what ever increasing acquiescence to Muslim’s demands would lead to, was being reported in MSM at the time but of course that was only to mock them and prepare the world to accept the hell the Clinton’s & Co were going to unleash as the ‘fault’ of the Serbs/Christians.
“Probably means that Durham is a bust as far as she is concerned.”
Probably effective, short term. But long term? Durham is very thorough, and not afraid to put stuff on the public record as part of an indictment. And as is apparent from the legal battle with Sussman, he doesn’t put out stuff he can’t back up.
She may be thinking she can become Prez before it all comes out, but even should she win the primary and then the election, she would most likely face a hostile and populist house and senate.
As unlikely as the scenario may be, it would certainly be entertaining to see her impeached and convicted at a senate trial – the trail of dead bodies of potential witnesses not withstanding.

Forget it, n0 one is going to vote.
Yes.
But my full point was that the 3 coup de mains I presented would have been catastrophic failures had things gone the other way.
Arnhem and the Op Varsity landings in 1945 were large-scale breakthrough efforts, centred on taking and holding certain airheads. The latter more successful than the former.
Fort Eben Emael, Merville Battery and Orne River Bridge, like Hostomel Airport, were very specific targets that the airborne troops had a very limited time to take. And relatively massive enemy reinforcement nearby, if local resistance held out just long enough.
Carentan is another example of close-run thing. The 101st Airborne managed to assault its way into the town and dislodge the Fallschirmjägers defending it, but the German armoured and mech forces that came to reinforce them very nearly destroyed the Americans. Any more substantial delays on the Normandy beach-heads, and the US 2nd Armoured Division would have had to fight its way through a strongly German-held Carentan and the wreckage of 101st.
I am calling this one a furious agreement with you, but quibbling over details.

Show me at any point where Jihad has come out of the Slavs of the Balkans or Southern Europe.
The Slavs generally have the good grace over hundreds and even thousands of years to keep their violent infighting very much to themselves (as FrollickingMole’s earlier meme demonstrates).
The lethal business going on in Western Europe that gives you such excitement, has come out of its Arabic migrant populations from the Middle East and North Africa. And to a lesser extent from Chechnya and the -Stan republics once belonging to the USSR.

Rex – All good. I was reading about the paradrop at Nadzab a few night ago. I mentioned it at the time as that’s the first combat drop by Australians that I know of – a battery of the 2/4th Field Regiment with a couple shortened 25 pounders in support of the US 503rd Para Regt. The drop was perfect, helped by the absence of any Japanese, although the paras didn’t know that until they landed.
You really are a very simple shit shoveller, aren’t you.
Just like those selling the lie that the ‘ukrainians’/Clinton’s & Co did nothing to ask for Putin’s actions now (& the ‘more cleverer’ do go back to 2014 but only to excuse their massacres of innocent civilians by omitting the Pre-2014 works of the Globalist bastards), there was a lot of evil shit stirred up by the evil Globalist bastards before then, not in the least worse than ignoring Serbs warnings and ‘oops, the UN et al letting what they were warned of, happen’.
But thanks for telling me “I” should be “careful” for daring to remind people to look into the rest of the story.
It tells me what a murderous side you’re cowardly on.
Oh and btw, your stupid wiki link actually tells people to ignore the legitimate claims of Non-Muslims because, duh, to even consider them breaks the narrative that excuses the Clinton & Co War Crimes as ‘NATO’ being ‘good guys’.
