Right, I make that (using the lowest figure) over 40 launches per month, every month for the 2 years. Anyone who thinks that is plausible is a tad optimistic.

I thought we already knew that. Does this just make it 'official'?

Exactly, we shouldn't even be at this point. Russia should be a windswept wasteland.

Oh I don't doubt people were killed.
It's just describing them as being martyred puts a bias on the article. I'm inclined to see it as a.propoganda piece.
The whole thing is bad enough as it is without stirring up religious hatred even more.

I'm always wary when an article tells you that people have been 'martyred' when describing casualties on one side but not the other.
They've usually got an agenda to push and numbers will be exaggerated and not always the truth.

Unless you’re in the US, then they text secret plans directly to you
Even if you didn't want them ;-)

Before getting on our high horse - there are mercenaries of various nationalities fighting on the Ukrainian side as well as the Russian side, that doesn't mean their governments support them.

Try telling that to the UK.
We've got old sausage fingers to cough up for.

You'd think a businessman as bigly smart (people tell him all the time, many people) as he is would understand this.

We never stopped.
If you think those ones we have now are leftover from the 60s, you are in for a shock.

This bears what I've thought for a while now. Europe needs a dedicated military, All working together using standardised ammunition etc. As for railways, that should have been done years ago.
Hopefully we can get this done before Putin makes his move - and he will do. Especially now that the US president is a Russian asset.

So he has the concept of a plan.
The plan itself he'll make up half an hour before it's due, and then spout off about how everyone agrees it's the best plan ever. The fact that they knew sod all about it, is neither here nor there. It'll give Trump a few more hours of air time, because that's what he wants, to be the main news event every day.
What a tool.
