School Me On This Russia/Ukraine Kerfuffle

[sneeker]

You guys get it too though over there

I find it surprising that some people find 14c - 16c weather to be cold. For me, that's my ideal weather and even go bare naked outdoors, . although windchill is something that I find that is quite a pain. I don't do well under hot and humid as that makes me often sick although I could survive California weather. subzero temp for months is bad especially if you need to frequent the outdoors but hunkering down is fine as long as it's not forever. Since we can't have our perfect weather, it depends on what weather that we can live by.

Been here my whole life and I can’t stand this bipolar *** weather. Hate the cold and hate the extreme heat. But the 65-70 I’m November has been lovely.

You dudes are talking about walking around nude in what is mid 60s-low 70s while others in this thread are talking about temps at about 2-6 degrees F (or in mplsdunk ’s case well below 0). I think y’all are lost.

not that. just saying that mid 60s is not even cold. 46 is normal for us and 60s is an amazing weather. 2F-6F is fine as long as it's dry and you don't have to deal with windchill. I knew some people that can't even stand mid 60s and treat it like you are in the Arctic. I've seen some wear 4-5 layers of freaking combination of thick sweaters and jackets in such weather. I only wear a shirt and puffer jacket most of the time. but once the windchill sets in, that's when I have to wear a 3 layer thicker clothes.

After another day of Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine...

 

[fargin]

Folks are force trending Article 5, which is probably a little rushed.

Better wait for an official Polish statement/response.

Poland bout to up it on Russia now

It won’t be Poland as much as NATO and the Us. We have a tiny army by most countries standards. But we do house a lot of US troops including the rockets to shoot down any cruise or nuclear missiles which may be targeted towards Europe from Russia.

Excuse me

 

[trynafeelmink]

Just as another 40 billion dollar request is made.........

 

[heelsandeers]

Putin desperately wants to be attacked within Russia. It is his only hope for stopping the loss of political support

Lost in the escalation with a strike (suspiciously accurate accident or otherwise) in Poland is that the Russians launched dozens of missiles at non-combatants throughout Ukraine and escalated terror on civilians on a mass scale today

Even without the Polish casualties, this was a terrible escalation by a terrorist state

Wow. Sounds similar to griner's case. she won't be sent out to war though.

They are saying it's actually stray Ukrainian missiles that hit Poland.

Escalation fears ease after NATO, Warsaw say missile that hit Poland was Ukrainian stray

A missile that hit Poland was probably a stray fired by Ukraine's air defences and not a Russian strike, Poland and NATO said on Wednesday, easing global concern that the war in Ukraine could spill across the border.

russia finally got their orders in from the wish app via china ?

 

[biggie62]

As someone put. Using WW1 battle strategies in a 21st century fight. I will always repeat what I’ve been saying. Russia is a 3rd world country and has only won wars because they threw raw numbers at people nothing more. No wonder they lost nearly 4x as many people as anyone else in WW2.

 

[heelsandeers]

^Pretty much. Read that Wagner lost 4,000+ of its 50,000 mercenaries with another 10,000+ wounded

And may only have Bakhmut to show for it. Seems unstainable even by Russian standards

 

[fargin]

Difficult to say anything decisive about Soledar and Bakhmut right now, but it reminds me of the Ukrainian killbox in Severodonetsk.

 

[fluid hips]

Winter is coming.

History has shown us how Russia does in war when the winter element sets in.

Bad boys bad boys...

Imagine being from a country that's literally at war & being concerned your children have to go to school with Muslims/Asians
