    I wonder what kind of armaments they would get with them. Would they indeed get the Hellfires? I understand those to be air-to-air missiles, so I have to assume they would then be serving to keep Russia's air farce out of the way.

    Hellfire is air-to-ground. They are part of the package.

    Oh yeah, that's right. I was confusing them with Sidewinders for some reason.

    Hellfire is anti-tank, right?

    Putin is accusing Biden of putting fuel to the fire for helping out Ukraine. I think it's to give Ukraine and Zelenskyy more of a fighting chance to go after Russia and get back what's theirs. As of before, Ukraine is fighting Russia for what they have and intend to keep it until the end.

    They started the fire and obviously do the most to keep it going, so it seems awfully silly for them to accuse us of pouring fuel on it.

    Putin fires five more generals: report
    Caroline Vakil
    Thu, June 2, 2022 at 12:04 PM

    Russian President Vladimir Putin fired a slew of generals earlier this week as Moscow continues to experience losses among its top officers and generals during its invasion of Ukraine.

    Five top generals – Maj. Gens. Vasily Kukushkin, Alexander Laas, Andrey Lipilin, Alexander Udovenko and Yuri Instrankin — in addition to Police Colonel Emil Musin were fired by the Russian president on Monday, the Russian newspaper Pravda reported, citing a decree extract, which a source close to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia confirmed of its authenticity to the news outlet.

    Pravda, citing Russian media organization RBC, noted that a standard employee reshuffle procedure accounted for why the top officials had been fired.

    ... https://news.yahoo.com/putin-fires-five-more-generals-170433820.html​

    It's a blessing in disguise for the generals, since Russian generals have tended to have a short lifespan in Ukraine :)

    Source: The Office of the Attorney General on Telegram

    Quote from the Office of the Attorney General : "10 Russian servicemen who looted the property of the civilian population of the Bucha Amalgamated Territorial Community of Kyiv Oblast (Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) have been identified and reported on suspicion of violating the laws and customs of war. The issue of declaring the suspects on the international wanted list is currently being resolved. "

    Crimea .. Pro-Russian Donbass - Pro Russian - hence why they are called "separatists. The claim there is no "Pro Russian" people in Ukraine is simply false - a kind of Holocaust denial .. of which the Beloved Azov Battalion engages .. just disappear an entire group of people .. to blot out persecution of such folk .. by the Beloved Azov Battalion ..

    Is that your game D and T .. one you both play with glee .. make the people disappear .. to defend the one's that we hold dear .. heh heh :)

    Some good news today:

    U.K. to send rocket systems to Ukraine after report that Boris Johnson sought U.S. approval
    Niamh Cavanagh
    Thu, June 2, 2022 at 7:14 AM​

    LONDON — The U.K. is set to send multiple launch rocket systems to the Ukrainian military in a bid to help counter Russia’s brutal attacks.

    According to a statement by the British Foreign Office, reports CNN, the U.K. will provide Ukraine with M270 launchers, which can strike targets over 49 miles away. The advanced medium-range rocket systems will offer a “significant boost in capability for the Ukrainian forces.”

    Ukrainian soldiers will be trained in the U.K. on how to use the weapons system.

    If Russia loses, the whole world will become Washington's barnyard.
    Do you want to become the submissive cattle of the Washington mafia clan? Together with the Ukrainians.

    Maybe he lives in one of those hilly billy counties in the West and is scared to get close to the county line.
    Would you please ask him for me how many teeth he has left?

    Only a ****ing Ukrainian moron would be dumb enough to think a stock delisting is a taxable event. Well, I take that back, there's a lot of American morons who probably believe it too. After all most Americans are so dumb they are supporting Nazis in the shithole of Ukraine....all at the direction of their masters in DC and the fake news MSM.

    Same kind of morons believed the Rushan Coolushan Ritz Carlton pee tapes and what not.

    It's not surprising to me at all. Russia is solvent, as opposed to just about every Western country. Russia is a net exporter. Russia has things of tangible value that people depend on for survival. The West has fat blue-haired people and fast food.

    Mars II and Iris-T SLM: Germany's heavy equipment for the defensive battle in the Donbass - Teller Report

    Smart ammo rocket launcher, 40 km range, 12 rockets in under 1 minute.

    With the Special Budget, constitutional amendment, now secure, 100 Billions, Germany has now room to deliver heavy weapons.
    The Bundestag will vote tomorrow, since it is a constitutional amendment it needs a 2/3 majority vote. The CDU/CSU had to be brought on bord, which was finalized to day. The Amendment was needed 1. to make sure that this money was only for the Bundeswehr.
    2. that future government could not gut the budget and 3. to get around the balanced budget amentmend

    You claimed you “transferred” the investment. Such a transaction requires buying and selling, even if it happens in the same second. And selling is a taxable event. ;)
    By the way, you failed to provide the ticker. What is it?
    I’ve been trading VXX and UVXY options for a while, and, unlike you, I know how this sh!t works.
