That would be a tank turret unceremoniously detached from it's standard location and lofted skywards.

Apparently WW2 has not ended between Japan and Russia:

"Russia and Japan have still not formally ended World War II hostilities because of the standoff over islands just off Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido"

First use of AI in warfare?
Probably not, but at least this is documented:

Imagine standing in front of a thousand people. All of them are staring at you. Then they all drop dead.
Then, you get up in the morning and one thousand new people are staring back at you and standing on the bodies from yesterday. Then they all drop dead.
Do that for 2 years.

That's COVID in the US alone.

Holy fuck, are we a resilient animal or what?

The US is still experiencing a THOUSAND DEATHS A DAY from COVID.
I know this isn't "news", but the lack of news discussing it sure shows how numb we are 2 years into this pandemic.

I'm expecting the terrorism to come from outside of Russia.

I'm surprised we're not seeing terrorist strikes within Russia.
There are plenty of angry people and plenty of funding to support them.
Maybe it is happening, but there are no western journalists still reporting outside of Moscow?

In case you didn't know who Nick Fuentes is, here he is clarifying his position on Russian aggression. If this doesn't make you want to break some laws, I'll nominate you for sainthood:

Are CoSo groups supposed to be blank? I thought I'd see a list of them.

The Pope offers prayers of peace but has yet to denounce the Russian Orthodox Patriarch for his support of Putin's war.

Leadership is not easy.

Uncomfortable decisions require courage and conviction:

I wonder if the US military has a plan to disable all 6K Russian nuclear warheads before they are launched or reach their target.

It would be a crazy plan where even a 0.01% failure rate causes 6 cities to be destroyed.

This would be a plan that would have taken decades to deploy:
- Hidden artillery bunkers near each launch silo
- Infiltrated command structure
- Remotely disable-able missal launch controls
- Hacked missal guidance software
- Hacked military communications infrastructure

Possible roadmap with a positive outcome:
1) Russia takes Ukraine and is sealed off from the rest of the world
2) Countries fund the insurgency that picks apart all logistics within Russia
3) Russians are starving by the millions
4) The US negotiates relaxation of the restrictions in exchange for nuclear weapons
5) Russia is de-nuclearized
6) Russia is broken up into many smaller states
7) A program is implemented in each state to create a local identity so they never re-group
