Meanwhile ...

... a REAL Army (57th Brigade) in REAL war, not Hollywood BS or some Iraq "experience". In this instance 11 VSU are KIAs. 

In the same time Dnepropetrovsk looks rather ... grim today. All of it, and this is a city of a million inhabitants. 

Now WARNING--I try to maintain a certain level of discussion on forums here. I am very liberal with WHO and WHAT I tolerate here, but as mass psychosis after Venezuela demonstrated, I may need to rethink my policies, because, frankly, I myself am tired reading (from Captains Obvious) same ol', same ol about "Israel-American Nazees", "news" and opinions from all kinds of mentally unstable people like Dugin or all kinds of trolls and "concerned citizens". I may implement policies which would prevent circle-jerk about all kinds of nonsense, otherwise this blog will lose its main purpose--to provide educational value (military, geopolitics et al) and a discussion which takes into account reality not media spin. Just one other point--yesterday in Larry's excellent piece about Venezuela only couple of people paid attention to the most important part--Russia is blowing away US "owned" (or controlled) assets. I also stressed--the US will not own anything in 404 anymore. Do you get my drift?
