That’s fair enough. I’ll have it. France and Germany were poor but others did chip in after the invasion.

I'd say Poland in particular did way way more than "chip in" compared to their GDP. Not in absolute terms because obviously US and UK have much bigger resources.
In terms if economic power yes, but politically their " leadership" in this crisis has been shambolic.
He asked, but yes late is usually better than never. Apparently those Iranian drones are a problem so let's hope the Israeli anti-drone tech is good.
In russian telegram channel the word is that russian army is doing another gesture of goodwill by retreating from Lyman to avoid being cut off.

The special regrouping continues.
The second act of Russian genocide of the Tatars...
Putting is obviously making sure these smaller nations never have any shout at independence ever again in the future. Even if they lose everything they gained in Ukraine, which I'm sure they will, they will have no trouble back home with tens, possibly hundreds of thousands Chehens, Tatars, Dagestanis dying for Russian cause. The population of these regions will take centuries to recover.
According to the NYTimes, Ukrainian progress is slower and more painful in the south, Russian forces are more dug in there.
Russia appoints new deputy defense minister
From CNN's Katharina Krebs and Radina Gigova
Russia has replaced its deputy defense minister by appointing Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev for the post, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement published Saturday.
"Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev has been appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, responsible for the logistics of the Armed Forces," according to the statement.
Mizintsev replaces the General of the Army Dmitry Bulgakov, who was relieved of his post due to a transfer to another job, according to the statement.
The Ukrainian military has said Mizintsev led the siege of the eastern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol.
Mizintsev also previously led Russia’s National Defense Management Center and headed the "Russian Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine," according to state news agency TASS.
Mizintsev was born in 1962 and graduated from the Kalinin Suvorov Military School in 1980, according to TASS. He was appointed chief of Russia’s National Defense Management Center in December 2014, according to TASS.

Doesn’t exactly make sense. What would the guy get out of a fictitious marriage if he’s deployed and dies.
Sex and "family related leave days" while they are still alive? The majority of soldiers will not die, and perhaps married men get more leave days than unmarried? And if they die, the woman is paid for her services.
That's clever though very evil. Zeihan predicted Russia would break up eventually as a result of this failed invasion, as they lose the power to force the regions to stay, but hard for that to happen when all the men are dead.
A quick shag before he goes off to die for Mad Vlad?
A cropped screenshot without any source? I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this was happening but the quality of such info doesn’t really justify any attention.
On top of which, Anton looks a bit too much like Ralf Rangnick to be taken seriously.
I can only think he is paid, or gets some kind of benefit in order to agree to the marriage.
Seems the Ukrainians had a good day hunting along the front line near Kharkiv. Shot down four jets and five drones. Making riskier flights may be in response to the pressure the Russian army is under at Lyman.
This is...odd? You could interpret it as 40% don't care about Ukraine. Do they even want to be liberated.
Grim as feck
What is with all these great musicians (and Roger Waters) losing their heads in recent years?
Two of my favorite performers Van Morrison and Eric Clapton turned out to be covidiots, and now this guy continues to embarrass himself. I suppose Waters has always been a bit of a contrarian.

Waters appears to have lost his mind by turning excessively political in recent years.
Calling it now. The end is nigh for Putin.
From Niki Proshin, Sept 24:
"Partial mobilisation was announced in Russia. Many people gathered for a protest, many people are fleeing from Russia right now. This video I want to share some details of these events, and also share some personal feelings after observing the protests in Saint Petersburg."

What. Why? Do we think they just have straight up daily arrest quotas they gave to meet now?
