Fuck Russia.

Ukraine's recent air strikes on the Russia's Kremniy El microelectronics factory managed to kill 4 and wound 37. Including this guy: It's underappreciated how important it is to not just destroy factories, but also to kill and maim the Russian's working at those factories. It's a lot harder and more expensive to replace a skilled worker than it is to replace a tool bought from China. Cutting off his hand will probably prevent the deaths of dozens of Ukrainians. To that end, Ukraine should copy Russia's highly effective double tap strategy to discourage rescue operations. That man might still be able to train his replacement, or successfully work with his remaining hand. It'd be better if he had bled to death waiting for a rescue that never came.

Really cool video: competent outdoorsman, making good decisions, who got into trouble and were successfully rescued in truly horrendous weather.

The stuff he's doing in Eastern Ukraine is absolutely wild. View quoted note →

...and that's one reason why every single time I've encountered a bear in the woods the bear has ran away from me as fast as possible.

Surprisingly good video for Ukraine. The guy is a kinda clueless "extreme" travel vlogger who was dumb enough to go to Russia and get arrested. But for his (later) Ukraine visit he portrays it fairly accurately and sympathetically.

Great example of how boring war can be. It takes two whole days, a dozen grenades drops, hours and hours of drone surveillance, and finally a quick (risky) assault with three men (and yet more drone surveillance) just to kill two Russians scumbags hiding under a tank. Imagine how much coffee got drunk overseeing this...
