Last Notes npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain The Russian GRU has now published a picture of the drones that attempted to attack Dolgiye Borody but were successfully shot down by the glorious Air Defence Troops of the Russian Ground Forces. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain "Here's how it is: a soldier from the Russian battalion ‘Somalia' said that, by order of command, he killed five captured Ukrainian soldiers." npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain In Dzerzhinsky, Russia, a mural meant to honour a Special Military Operation soldier accidentally depicted a Ukrainian Azov fighter. Unveiled on May 9 for Victory Day, the image sparked backlash once locals noticed the resemblance. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Senator Adam Schiff criticizes the Trump administration for corruption, self-dealing, and disregard for the American people. He highlights actions like promoting meme coins for financial gain, purging the DOJ of loyalists, and using government agencies to protect allies and punish enemies. Schiff argues that Trump's policies, including tax cuts for the wealthy and the gutting of public services, disproportionately harm everyday Americans while benefiting billionaires. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain The MAGA loyality test. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Oh, congratulations, Google! You've officially won the prestigious Gulf of America Bootlicking Award! Truly, no one does it quite like you. The way you effortlessly bend over backwards to do the bidding of an autocratic government is nothing short of awe-inspiring. If there was a gold medal for compromising user privacy and, you know, prioritizing profits, you'd definitely be at the top of the podium. Keep up the good work! npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain The EU is finally waking up. Why weren't any of the centres located in the eastern parts of the EU? npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain She needed the gun to protect herself from tattoo artists. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Someone posted about it earlier today. Here's a mentioned of it: npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain We're not saying he fled to Abu Dhabi, UAE... But it was Abu Dhabi, UAE. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain I don't think getting married and becoming a widow a few months later is on many women's wish lists. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain It worked great the last time. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Already? It's almost as if HSBC cared about Ukraine. Oh, it was to avoid sanctions... Business as usual, then. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain It's better with sound: npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain It's a Chinese (mainland China) phenomenon called "revenge against society" or "social revenge": npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain That is, IF the Biden administration was serious about Ukraine winning the war. So far, it's all about Ukraine not losing the war. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Absolutely. Inserting units behind enemy lines will always be part of warfare. But doing mass drops à la Operation Overlord and Operation Market Garden is something of the past. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Parachuting may be a thing of the past in future conflicts, but airbourne units will be with us. It's just their primary means of entry into the battle zone that may change. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Yeah, that guy went above and beyond! I didn't even notice him. 😳 npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain That is really state-of-the-art camouflage that the Nazi on the right has come up with. I almost didn't notice him. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain It breaks your heart when you think of all the young lives that are ended or dramatically changed because of the Tsar wannabe's dream of bringing back the Russian empire. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain I wish the USA all the best with the clean up. It certainly won't be easy. The radicalization of the GOP has been going on for many years. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Yes, there's definitely work to be done on the home front as well (getting the MAGA folks out of their loop probably won't happen anytime soon, though). But knowing that both she and Walz are pro-Ukraine, I see the support continuing. And yes, Russia in its current form has to go. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain As much as I appreciate the Biden administration's support so far, there are some decisions that make you wonder. But I think Jake Sullivan's scaremongering about escalation has taken root in Biden's mind. Hopefully Kamala Harris won't have Jake in any role in her administration. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain The 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade placed artillery on and around a Ukrainian position in order to fend off the Russians. The Ukrainian soldiers were rescued by an M2 Bradley, which fired on the forest line that the Russians had infested. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain If it’s just in Mastodon, then contact the server admin. Do you know someone else on the server who doesn’t have the same issue? npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain No problem. It surprise me as well. There’s nothing in the video that would warrant a restriction based on content. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain I did a ping on the server and then a Whois on the IP address. The server appears to be hosted in Portugal. But geolocation lookups indicate Portugal or France. npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain I didn’t know that there were restrictions on posting links on other servers. I don’t know where the krigskunst.social server is located. But I’m sure @npub1zz4…hv6n could tell us. 🙂 npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Covert Cabal and his helper have looked into the number of remaining Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs). npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Main takeaways (ChatGPT): npub1uj3pxdtyrr5f3sl97mqpcvjh6yd52sq9l95mzuk8ha2ly6mzhw4qfr9ha4 Viking Chieftain Covert Cabal is at it again. This time he focuses on estimating the number of T-80s left. Here's a summary:
