yes, but the UNG Twitter doesn't dip bullets in fat, the Azov nazis do

the casing contains the gunpowder which propels the bullet through the barrel as it explodes the hot, empty casing stays in the chamber and is typically pulled back and ejected sideways as the breech moves backwards Source: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rJMXXuGhINE the military is famously...

you're missing the point if I say "the GOP supports QAnon", deirdre is going to correct me and say it's not the GOP, it's just Boebert—and arguing that Boebert is part of the GOP won't help sometimes you need to be specific

Kinda misleading to call this "Ukraine National Guard", the Azov is a neonazi batallion in the Ukraine army, and the other batallions aren't likely to do this. See https://www.metabunk.org/threads/need-debunking-us-ukraine-oppose-un-resolution-condemning-nazism.12301/post-266854 ff. for more...

It's on the center of a roundabout outside the Colmar airport. This statue made of resin is a 12-meter [40 ft.] high replica of the Statue of Liberty. It was sculpted to commemorate the 100th death anniversary of the sculptor Auguste Batholdi, who was born in Colmar and created the "Liberty...

I happened upon an article with some background on this. However, when it comes to Ukraine, there actually isn’t much footage from major media of fighting on most of the front lines. While there are news teams in Kyiv and in Lviv, there is generally a lack of coverage of many of the front...

The White House, 9/2021: Deepening Strategic Defense Cooperation: The United States and Ukraine have finalized a Strategic Defense Framework that creates a foundation for the enhancement of U.S.-Ukraine strategic defense and security cooperation and the advancement of shared priorities...

The US president's actions are subject to judicial review. Big difference. According to Nolette's analysis, state attorneys general have won 51% of their suits against Trump and lost less than 11%. More than a third haven't had any sort of judicial action yet. Note also Biden's difficulties in...

The checkmark signifies agreement. I'm using it on posts that I think are true from my own knowledge. The thumbs up is my way of saying that the post is a good contribution to the discussion. If it's well argued, I don't need to agree with it. Answers to questions I've posed get a thumbs up as a...

The Waffen-SS was the military arm of the NSDAP (Nazi party), different from the Wehrmacht. Using their insignia marks you as a Nazi. The 2nd division had the name "Das Reich" (the empire). I'm also seeing a mirror image of the SS runes in the Azov emblem. They also have the Black Sun in...

It's making me think that the Russians have secured this corridor enough to not be very afraid of ambushes or attacks from the air. Or maybe they simply have no other choice. I frankly have no idea how the air battle is going, propaganda legends like the "ghost of Kiev" aside. I've been...

Examining the Threat of the Azov Movement in Ukraine Members of nationalist movements, including Azov Movement, carry their flags and banners as they participate in an official state parade celebrating the anniversery of the foundation of the Ukrainian Army, of which Azov is now a part. 17...

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE FLED? The head of the United Nations refugee agency said that more than 500,000 people had fled Ukraine for neighboring countries since Russia’s invasion started on Thursday. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, gave the updated figure in a tweet. A day...

An article from last year (!) on Russian logistics anticipates the pause we're seeing, and also the lack of depth of the initial Russian advances. The article itself is full of detailed information and discusses several scenarios. I selected some paragraphs I thought relevant: While the Russian...

I'd like to know how the debate in the Third Committee and in the General Assembly went. The committee adopted a draft that had "combating Nazism" in the title, and pretty much the same countries abstained/voted against. Elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related...

I have almost never seen a kite string, especially on a cloudy day. And he says he didn't notice the UAP itself. I believe most single-person drone operators use the drone camera to navigate most of the time. It doesn't zoom and it doesn't look up.

Historic-political analysis of how the war is going I excerpted it (as per Metabunk policy), but I recommend reading it in full at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1497993363076915204.html Why Russia will lose this war? Much of the "realist" discourse is about accepting Putin's victory...

I found a detailed strategic assessment. The highlights: Russian forces largely conducted an operational pause on February 26-27 but will likely resume offensive operations and begin using greater air and artillery support in the coming days. Russian airborne and special forces troops are...

that matches the rates I computed in https://www.metabunk.org/threads/gimbal-blender-simulation-with-clouds.12209/page-3#post-266506

I tried to find reports supporting this but couldn't. Western sanctions push Russia and China even closer The Chinese government said in a statement that it strongly supports "respecting and safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries," including Ukraine, but has...
