I was buying from ebay because I didn't want to support Amazon. Now what?
I used to work in manufacturing. One place used the Japanese standard of manufacturing with paper based progress gates and faxing copies to other sections. They also paid cash for any outside contracts. The whole system worked flawlessly. Those negatives are not as bad as they seem.
That's exactly the point of this. To hold the position Russia has to have safe logistics and fortified positions. Ukraine only needs to increase the grey zone to disrupt Russia's logistics into Tokmak to collapse the front on the South.
Massively increasing child fatalities is just the price of freedom baby
I did spend some of my childhood stealing traffic lights and street signs. It wasn't Satan that made me do it, it was the boy scouts.
The Russian mobilised from prisons are trucked to special units made up of criminals who are sent straight to the front line to die in human wave attacks.
These are small unarmored units with light weapons only. They are sent in waves consisting of many small groups of around six across a long area of frontline. They die in huge numbers and if they turn around and retreat they are killed by other Russians themselves, in what is known as 'blocking units'.
The entire point of their deaths is to spread Ukrainian soldiers and widely as possible and to constantly test the Ukrianian fortification for weakness.
If they find any, bigger infantry units are sent with support from a light armored vehicle with heavier weapons.
This tactic also applies to other people Russia considers disposable. Ethnic minorities such as Buryats, or poor people from rural villages.
Russia and Iran stirred some shit up in Israel knowing how predictable the global response would be. Suddenly out of 'nowhere' Hamas has North Korean weapons and state level intelligence information.
Elon Musk is a pro-Russian muppet.
100% Everything going on right now is to diminish focus and support for Ukraine.
I grew up in a family who were professional criminals. Nearly all of the first and second generation eventually got into real estate development and the several of the second generation went into tax law. A bunch of other families I knew of got into local politics.
Certain weapons have stopped being produced. As you can see from the missile types that are fired by Russia now compared to early in the invasion, the varieties have gone down to only a few types.
This is because stored supplies are being depleted, components are hard to come by, and Russia is focusing on only producing missile types with the greatest success rate of reaching their targets.
Country defense is oriented around the most likely attack in the near future. Once Russia is defeated and this war is over, the most likely invader is still Russia. So they are planning on what will defend against what Russia has now.
