There is a train bridge on the Ru/Uk boarder that is within HiMAR range as far back as Shevchenkove: https://www.google.com/maps/search/Troits'ke,+Luhansk+Oblast,+Ukraine,+92101/@50.0051093,38.2009435,550m/data=!3m1!1e3

Prediction: They move some HiMARS to Kupiansk quickly and target the railroad supplying the eastern front.
There is probably a bridge at the Russian boarder that would be within range. I assume that targeting a bridge is wiser because of the extra time it takes to rebuild it.

That cloud in the distance is a huge Pyro cumulus cloud rising up over a town 200 miles away from San Francisco. Family members of a friend next door are arriving from the evacuation zone.

Long lived the queen.

Ru just attacked on the north boarder.

So, what is Armageddon supposed to look like?
Maybe this?

Sitting with my mother in law now.
We don't think she will last much longer.

What a mess of a country:

This is a fantastic thread about a concept I hadn't heard before: White Innocence.

"This “argument” - basically: it can’t be fascism if it’s supported by more than just a few irrelevant fringe figures - is not only historically illiterate, but also indicative of how pervasive the dogma of white innocence is, how severely it distorts the discourse."

HUGE counter-offensive underway!

"Ukrainian troops have taken four villages back from Russian occupation in the south near the city of Kherson"
"...village names are Nova Dmytrivka, Arkhanhel’s’ke, Tomyna Balka and Pravdyne."

What an incredible story about the Battle of Kyiv. This will be a movie someday. It is full of heroes:

Yikes!
These are heat signatures around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. They could be shelling. Or it could be even worse.

I just published an essay on the missing word in the English language that is at the root of our misunderstandings.

Fantastic article on how Russia's FSB totally failed to provide accurate assessments of Ukr before the invasion:

We just got another extension on the "pause" in relocating residents at Laguna Honda Hospital. It is delayed until November. 2 additional months!
Out of the 45 residents in need of skilled nursing care, 9 have died. We have 450 to go.
We could see 80 people dead if this transfer process is allowed to restart.
We're at 1649 signatures on the petition!

Most people think they understand the problem.

Many people have an opinion on the solutions to the problem.

Foolish people have the most confidence in their opinion.

Recommendation: Spend more time understanding the problem before you build an opinion on the solution.
