Day 1116 War in Ukraine



Protesters in Georgia are aware that the police use photographs of them to charge them really large amounts of money in fines, so they wear masks.

Third-year anniversary of the day that Russia bombed a building that was clearly marked “children.” Estimate is that over 300 children and their caregivers died.

Protesters in Georgia use their own trash bags during their marches as the authorities removed all trash containers because protesters were using them as barricades.

When Germany and France were fighting, it made sense for Switzerland to be neutral. When France and Germany joined all of the rest of Europe in opposing Russia, Swiss neutrality made a lot less sense. “Switzerland’s new defence minister Martin Pfister” had made moves to correct this problem.

France made a pitch for Europe to buy European weapons systems as the US is now an unreliable supplier.

Russia will of course, rush in to fill the gap of Voice of America going silent.

Senator Lindsey Graham talks of a President Trump who exists only in the fantasies of his most ardent supporters. There’s no such person in real life.

Fiber-optic cables for drones are great because they can’t be jammed, but they CAN be caught up in anti-drone nets!

Ukraine adds electronic sights to their air defense systems, enabling them to hit more targets at night.

Think some Russian soldiers were also amazed by toilets and washing machines back when they entered Germany in 1945. Some things don’t change.
