Speaking of the defeat parade, apparently the T-34 caught wind of a rumour that it was to be sent to Ukraine after the parade and tried to injure itself to avoid going into the grinder. https://twitter.com/DarthPutinKGB/status/1655946975836262400?cxt=HHwWgMDS2YfAjfstAAAA -

The problem is that urban warfare is a rather different animal than urban law enforcement. I am very much afraid that the proliferation of automatic weaponry, hand grenades and more modern tactics has made it a bad time to be a horse in a place like Kherson or Bakhmut. This is not even mentioning open land. Horses might still be useful for transport, I admit, but the wise rider will keep his animal away from the front lines. This gives me an amazing mental image of a moon base where astronaut cavalry patrols its environs on spacesuited horses. -

I imagine Odin and Athena had quite a play-by-mail chess game going with Nymphs and Valkyries delivering the moves back and forth as well as acting out the game on a giant board. -

Of course she would not stream a movie, if it was available to rent at Tensaided's store. As for the movie-going party? The group she identified as "people Tedd does not know" may include members of whom Tedd may be aware, but does not know well. She's going with. Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo & Crow. -

Well, they was just after the 2 storm shadow, 1 decoy attack so they might have been a bit trigger happy. Also given that Russia and Ukraine have the same air frames and electronics they have the same IFF units so some mode of IFF will respond the same way. They may have used the wrong mode and gotten a return, which the Russian aircraft had been told to disable. Don't know if this is possibe, but I know that NATO aircraft during exercises would turn off mode 3, but use mode 4. A target the squawked mode 4, but not mode 3 was considered to be friendly. Aircraft that squawked mode 3 only (i.e. commercial aircraft) were evaluated based on their actions. Now IFF is supposed to be coded on a daily or even 4 times a day basis, based on code books sent to the various users. My personal bet it that the ADA units on the ground and the flying units didn't get the same code books, so IFF request goes out, aircraft doesn't squawk the right response, it's hostile. Or the Russians are just idiots, could go either way. -

One T-34 in the Moscow May 9th parade. Might as well not have any tanks. They have, at last count, 30 functional T-34 (bought from Laos just for parades). No T-14, none of the "modern" APC/IFV. As a victory parade goes, this was close to not having one. https://twitter.com/osinttechnical/status/1655843168225488899?s=46&t=axBHjyvbThecDAhWKWTJNw -

On a related note, the anti-war pro-Putin faction in Denmark has come up with an amazing new argument. One side effect of Denmark sending as much gear as possible to Ukraine is that when we replace it, it is generally with newer and better materiel. I mean yes it is not great that it is old stuff the Ukrainians are getting but at least they are getting it right away. But Denmark still needs vehicles and weapons of its own and replacements obviously tend to be more modern. The Putinists are referring to this as 'stealth mobilization' and is warning that this will lead... to Denmark taking a more aggressive stance against her neighbours. ... ...dafuq? Denmark is literally the smallest nation in all of northern Europe with the possible exception of Luxembourg. I don't think we've waged a war of expansion since the 17th Century, and the ones we fought in then did not end well. Well, yes, Luxembourg is smaller than Denmark but I do not quite see the Danish Army beat aside the Germans and the French on our way there. I swear to God, the Putinists have lost control of their single brain cell and it is desperately hiding from them now. (In my teens I did once formulate a plan for Denmark regaining control of southern Sweden, but it involved airdropping large amounts of Schnapps and beer over strategically important junctions and then moving in with truckloads of more booze we would hand over for free. I figured we would be greeted as liberators because of Sweden's near-Prohibition level control of alcohol sales. Sadly, my plan never gained much traction, though my military acquaintances did say it was a lot less likely to lead to mass casualties than conventional warfare.) -

The Ukrainian government has said that it wasn't them. If I was going to make a symbolic attack on Russia/assassination attempt on Putin this time of year, I would wait until the May 9th victory parade. Then you will know exactly where Putin will be and when. A short range loitering munition/suicide drone should be able to deal with him. Granted it would need to be fairly self guiding as the amount of ECM being used in Red Square is rather high. At least GPS is being jammed for a about a half mile radius. -

It will get the attention of the witnesses themselves, if they have access, the clerk, for instance. If he reviews the video, he's going to see a different set of customers than the ones he vividly remembers. Not sure what he can do with that information, but if is surely a weakness in the plan. It is odd that they intrinsically think of them as 'royalty'. If they intend to go back, then maybe Liam is off the hook, but their appearance in the comic does not bode well for 'zero interaction with the natives of the EGS realm'. They should not be activists in the EGS realm, though, should they? Maybe mlooney has it right and they intend to go back to fight their battles. I wonder, how did they get their intel on what were the norms and what was acceptable on this side. I like 'illegal aliens', it has a Firesign Theater cache to it. Mist in the guerillas could work. -

I dunno, I hear that in Ukraine you can find Russian tank parts just lying all over the landscape. Well, about a century ago -- I think it was in 1929 -- Winston Churchill was confronted with a mining strike. He was enthusiastically planning how to deal with it, a plan which included tanks, when he was informed that the negotiators had settled matters with strikers and that the miners were already returning to work. He got so mad that he threw his pen across the room. This was of course absolutely in character for the man. I don't think he acknowledged the existence of any sort of problem that could not ultimately be solved by throwing tanks at it. His conflict seeking mindset might be best explicated by his quote "There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at and missed." -

I leaped to that conclusion with both feet. Could be wrong, but OTOH, the resolution is due, and they fit the clues we've had so far. NOW it makes sense why Dan was hiding them. I assumed they were Uryoums, like Virginia. -

Unlikely. When it was reveled that Jay was his granddaughter Sybil used the term "your granddaughter", not "my daughter". Also 3 letter agencies tend to not allow close family relatives to work as leader/subordinate pairs. Sybil being Arthur's daughter is a popular fan theory with no canon support. -
