The big news is the 71 artillery systems. They can't be replaced as easily.

They'll likely switch to drone warfare as well. Just need to spin up the factories with the parts coming in from the east.

This feels like feeding all your roaches to whittle down the marauders after building the spire.

Russians are really bad at keeping track of their grunts.

They should use like air tags or something.

Or better yet, just really bright IR beacons. Especially at night. Then they won't lose them at all.

Given how things are going, they should have 5 per soldier is they want to track all the bits.

Did you know: that's actually how little Солнышко sprouts are born! Planted first by the motherland's guiding hand, in distant muddy fields and long stretches of foreign soil. 🌻🤣

That gif only needs a sunflower sprouting from the muck. 🌻🤘🏼

Wouldn't hurt to manipulate it a bit more, put a Ukrainian flag on Saruman and a pistol in his hand and reverse the gif with a spit of blood.

"No means no."

Something about planting po-tay-toes being good for the sunflower crop.

To be fair, the logistics are challenging when there are multiple pieces spread around and mixed up.

Remember: the cannon fodder are victims on both sides

No war but the class war.

This is a bit of a different situation. This is an emperialist war, and Ukrainian side fights for the fundamental right to exist, and Russian side fights for their selfish interests and to kill people.
A big portion of people on Russian side are there willingly, they made a choice knowing full well all the consequences, and had multiple opportunities to make another, morally and materially correct decision, but didn't.

We're havin' a meat wave, a tropical meat wave!

Fantastic. Let’s make it 2,440

Just another day

That's quite a game of hide 'n seek

I'd prefer a minute, this might have been over by now.
