How did Ukraine's Thunder Run effectively take the Russian military by surprise?
The Ukrainians carried out one of the finest military deception efforts in recent history in September. While the world was paying attention to the continuing Kherson offensive, which began in mid-August, the Ukrainian military was discreetly preparing for its true onslaught in the east. The Ukrainian army started its Kharkiv onslaught in the late hours of September 6th. By mid-October, the attack had liberated nearly 12,000 square kilometers of terrain. But how did the Ukrainians hand Russia's military its biggest battlefield loss since World War II? Thunder Runs is the concise answer to that question. ❌⚡😎⚡❌

Russia's S-550 air defense system is designed to shoot down adversary ballistic missiles and aircraft, including the United States' fifth generation fighters, the F-22 and F-35, as well as the future B-21 Raider bomber. Is the S-550, however, as effective as Russia claims? Here's what military strategists have to say about it. 😈🗺⚠

What does it take to defeat a world power?Throughout the year, social media has been flooded with home footage depicting the Ukrainian army repurposing salvaged weaponry from defeated Russian soldiers, old Soviet remnants, and even deserted civilian houses, and using it to fend off its adversary. This has traditionally been a technique used by underdogs in conflict, but Ukraine has taken it to a whole new dimension. 🚙🗺⚒
You Keep Using This Word ‘Freedom’
Welcome to the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free. Here is exactly what you are free to do on any of our stirring national holidays, Bruce. You are free to get drunk and burn the hamburgers on the grill. You and the Missus are free to hit the — ack — Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans' Day, and/or Presidents' Day sales at Walmart. You are also free to possibly blow your thumb off lighting one of the illegal cherry bombs you had Griffy pick up across the state line last week.

» KEY POINTS Many locations have appealed the results of the 2020 Census because they believe there was an undercount in their communities. Based upon my own experience employed by the Census Bureau, I can understand their fears, and the decade of consequences to follow. While the Census was ongoing, I wrote a piece of fiction to help explain the situation that may add valuable insight to the cases of these municipalities.
Omar's letter to Larry at Downing Street
Dear Larry My sincerest and heartfelt thoughts are with you as once again your place of residence, your very home at 10 Downing Street, is subject to great turmoil and media attention. The very place where character assassination seems to be a full time occupation rather than running the country. Has it been anything else since your current and soon to be gone itinerant servant moved in with you?

The Bantering WelshmanPublished 2 years ago in The SwampDamn Liberals
“Gentlemen, let me start with introductions,” came a voice from a speaker placed in the center of the table. “At the far side of the table is Ramses II, Pharaoh of Egypt during the exodus. To his right Pope Leo X, head of the Roman Catholic Church during the time of Martin Luther and the great reformation. Next to him is King George III, England’s monarch, when the American Revolution occurred. Our next guest is King Louis XVI, the last monarch of France (holding his severed head). Moving on, we have Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, Adolph Hitler and, last but not least, Joseph Stalin. The one thing that you attendees have in common is a distinct hatred of liberals. Am I correct?”
Mark GagnonPublished 2 years ago in The SwampMastigia.
Fungi! Nebulo! Sceleris plenissimi! These are but a few Latin words that I feel best express the deep and ever-growing outrage that I, Iuno, Regina Deorum, feel for the current state of American politics and the plight of the American people. The Senate promises democracy while simultaneously disenfranchising the People by exchanging representation for money from corporations. Did I get that right? And while there are plenty of individual politicians I could read to filth, it is your bicameral system, this Democrat vs. Republican thing that you have, that I most detest. I have a special message for each party. And let me be clear from the very beginning: both of them reek like Roman toilets.
