Ukraine War Thread Part 2

Coastal battalions of the German Army in Normandy in 1944 had sizeable battalions of Polish soldiers, mainly forcibly conscripted, and officered and NCO'd by Germans, some of whom as soon as Allied troops were close enough shot their commanders, surrendered to the Allies and joined the Polish Army, after screening by the Allies. Obviously RF is taking a leaf out of Henry Ford's book: 'History is more or less bunk...the only history that is worth a tinker’s dam is the history we make today.'
Pity that MAGA GOP fanbois will never read it, being that there's no pictures, it uses too many big words and it's longer than a tweet.
You just can't educate the terminally thick.

Does that look like a good old IR household security camera mounted above the drivers head? cheap and effective for night time use, or is it something else?

"Mildly" Eccentric Stardriver
Yes, interesting analysis but one which I think most who follow these type of presentations have already worked out for themselves. The problem lies with a large majority (on both sides in the conflicts) who don't and can't.

Even in here I have seen the same, for long periods I felt like I was the only one posting and trying hard to keep it relevant, ORAC of course helped, but some days I could post quite a few links and not get a reaction or comment from anyone.
It of course has become harder since both sides have bogged down and I would imagine that is a reason the press have drifted away, "still where they were yesterday, and no movement" is not really newsworthy to the media.
I have tried adding little snippets showing what else is going on and I note ORAC is doing similar, such is the scant news from the front, and rightly so, you do not need to be telling those on the other side what you are up too.

This thread along with a couple of daily Podcasts are my "goto sources" for (usually) informed updates and opinion..

NutLoose, please don't think that no comments means no interest. What you and ORAC are doing is keeping this conflict front and centre for many of us. Please continue.
Oh, and thankyou both.

Exactly my case. Never commenting. But consulting daily to get an update, since I have no access to X or T. This here is my primary source. Many thanks to Nutty, Orac, fdr and others ...
Cheers!

Nutloose and ORAC Please keep posting, I don’t normally comment as I’m not an expert and don’t want to clog up the thread with irrelevant dross. But I find your posts totally absorbing and relevant that I check at least 4 to 5 times a day for the latest news. Thank you so much for your efforts.
