[MSN] A Los Angeles hip-hop artist and rapper was killed Monday after he was run over and pinned beneath a trailer following an altercation with a driver in North Hollywood, authorities said.
Taariq Grant, 28, of Los Angeles, whose performing name is Yngx 17, was identified by the Los Angeles County coroner's office as the man killed.
Los Angeles police said a pedestrian and a driver who was hauling a trailer engaged in a "brief verbal altercation" at Riverside Drive and Camarillo Street about 3:40 p.m., LAPD spokesperson Lizeth Lomeli said.
The pedestrian then climbed atop the trailer, which crashed into a concrete divider, causing him to fall and become trapped beneath its wheels, police said.
First-responders pronounced the man, who was later identified as Grant, dead at the scene. A family member on Tuesday confirmed Grant's death and his musical recording work as Yngx 17.

I believe the Y is actually a thorn, as in Old English, and is pronounced as a "th" Like "Ye Old Tavern". Perhaps young Taariq was inspired by Renaissance poetry.
Pity about the flatness. You can usually fix that with Auto-Tune.
[The Dispatch] Not many in the area are aware that one of the most celebrated heroes from World War II was from Lexington, but hopefully that is about to change.
Local historian and family member Steve Smith is looking into having a state historical marker or a local monument erected in honor of Lt. General Robert Sink, who was commanding officer of the first parachute division into Normandy on D-Day.
Want to know more about what is happening in Lexington? Support local journalism, subscribe to The Dispatch.
He also commanded the U.S. Army 506th Parachute Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, liberated a German concentration camp and his unit was instrumental in the capture of Adolf Hitler’s mountaintop retreat named the "Eagles Nest" near the end of the war.
Smith was one of the main characters in the book and subsequent HBO series "Band of Brothers" produced by Tom Hanks. "Colonel Robert Stout" in the film A Bridge Too Far (1977), played by Elliott Gould, is based on Sink and he was also portrayed in the video game Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.
He received two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars and was decorated by France, Belgium, the Netherlands and was awarded England’s Distinguished Service Order. Sink was also a senior United States Army officer who served during the Korean War and the early part of the Vietnam War.

Sink was the commander of the Strategic Army Corps and the 18th Airborne in 1958. He was promoted to lieutenant general in 1959 and took command of the U.S. Army in the Caribbean until he retired in 1961.
He was also the first person from Lexington to attend and graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, before his illustrious career in the military. After retirement, Sink returned to Lexington before he died in 1965.
[YAKTRI News] RICHLAND, Wash. — Employees, and security at the Hanford reservation are on high alert over reports of a possible active shooter in the East building near the center of the site. At least someone at Hanford is "active."
A representative from the U.S. Dept. of Energy confirmed the investigation is active, and that employees are currently in lockdown.
As of Noon on March 1, Hanford Patrol has not found any evidence of shots fired in their facility. Still, personnel from building 2750 E have been evacuated out of an abundance of caution as the search continues.
An emergency text message alert issued to employees at the site was obtained by KAPP KVEW. It reads as follows:
HANFORD SECURITY INCIDENT INFORMATION: Active Assailant at 2750E in 200 East Area. Affected employees prepare to run fight hide. Employees in nearby buildings are to lockdown and prepare to run fight hide. All others stay away. Caution: Do not hide in vats of bubbling goo.

Really big place. Mostly empty. Still, an operating commercial nuke plant at one end, a lot of decommissioned nuke sub reactors in a big hole in the middle and clean-up contractors scattered about. The area in question and what goes on there.

The contaminants were supposed to be solidified and shipped to Yuka Mountain for storage. That plan went South a few years ago due to NIMBY efforts.
[The Week] Russia's halting progress in its invasion of Ukraine has puzzled Western observers and analysts, but a senior Pentagon official told The New York Times on Tuesday that Russia's forces, plagued by low morale and food and fuel shortages, have suffered mass surrenders and self-sabotage by conscripts who "deliberately punched holes in their vehicles' gas tanks, presumably to avoid combat."
The Economist's Shashank Josh said a Pentagon source told him "with certainty" that Russians are sabotaging their own military vehicles.

my recollection is that about a decade ago they realized this problem and lengthened the conscription period and increased salaries but then some new people got into power and shortened the conscription period to one year (it probably takes at least 10 months to learn the skills to handle some of their hardware) and let salaries go flat

I have always admired Russians and Poles for their cynical sense of humor. Looks like it is a regional thing because that tax thing is damn funny.
(PS: don't say 'black humor' because that be racis!)

Enjoy now. Wait till the Puzzle Palace sends in their 'Rainbow' battalions. Appointing 'yes' men to the leadership positions gets you there. The only blessing is that the CCP plays the same 'political reliability' with their own forces. They march pretty. In the Himalayas, not as much.

Hey, let's make a deal: One of us will tell you a Joe Biden joke, and you tell us a Vlad Putin joke.
Here's a Joe Biden joke:
In 1992 while being interviewed by MTV, Bill Clinton was asked if he wore boxers or briefs? Clinton replied, "Boxers"
In 2008 US magazine asked Obama, "Boxers or briefs"? Obama declined to answer the question.
Last week AARP asked Joe Biden, "Boxers or briefs"? Biden responded, "Depends".
Your turn. And don't tell us you don't know any Vlad Putin jokes.

Come on trolls, one little Putin joke. I'm sure he'll forgive you.
And if you don't understand that most of those on this site already think Biden is a feckless idiot, you've been poorly briefed. Tell you Chekist minders to do better. And ask for a raise, the ruble ain't what it was a week ago.

This is the joke that's making the rounds in Russia now. "Negotiating with the Americans is like playing chess with a pigeon: she knocks over all the pieces, shits all over the board, and declares victory."
- Vladimir Vladimirovich
#18
I simply do not believe Russians stopped making jokes after Breshnev. But I can understand if you don't want to tell Putin jokes in a public place. (psst. you can do it anonymously!)
Joke: Breshnev's mom is visiting and he is showing off the perks that come with the job - the wood-paneled office, the nice apartment, the dacha, the black Mercedes. Mom is getting more and more nervous. Finally, she blurts out," Lyonya, this is all very nice but what if the Communists come back?"
#19
#14 Classic, you have no jokes of your own so you steal ours. We've been saying that about Democrats for years now, so even if it's fitting, it's not original. Try again.

Putin and Medvedev are dining at a fine Moscow restaurant.
Putin orders the steak, rare.
Waiter: "Very good choice, sir. And for the vegetable?"
My apologies. If you would put the link in comments, Mercutio, I’ll reconstitute your article.
— trailing wife at 12:35 p.m. ET
Update 8:55 p.m. ET per Mercutio:
[CitizenFreePress] Belarus dictator Lukashenko addresses his security council in front of map that seems to detail Russia’s battle plan after Ukraine, which includes an attack on the country of Moldova.
[Townhall] Russian forces continued to hammer the city of Kharkiv in northeast Ukraine as Putin's unprovoked assault entered its sixth day on Tuesday, including a direct hit on a government building in the city's Freedom Square as attacks on non-military targets escalate.
In a video tweeted by Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Kuleba that has been verified by NBC News and other outlets, a fireball erupts after a missile slams into the building. Kuleba's video includes footage of Ukraine's Emergency Service combing through what remains of the rubble while initial reports from those on the ground say there are multiple civilian casualties, including a child.
The attack on government and residential buildings in Kharkiv comes as Putin directs his troops to target residential centers and is coming under international scrutiny for his indiscriminate assaults on non-military targets. "It is not just a war," said Kharkiv's mayor of the Russian onslaught. "It is a murder of the Ukrainian people."
More than 10 civilians were killed and scores more injured by Russian attacks on Monday in Kharkiv and, as The Wall Street Journal noted, "an indication that Moscow may be shifting to a more destructive approach" as seen in attacks that hit two residential neighborhoods." Putin will also reportedly be shifting to night operations soon as he grows more frustrated with Ukraine's effectiveness against Russian forces.

It is interesting to watch this story evolve. The other day, it was a missile attack on a public square. Today, the public square is a government building. Inquiring minds will wonder what sort of government activities were taking place there.

Putin needs more dead civilians and infrastructure destroyed. He doesn't care, being the brutal dictator that he is. But Zelensky and the West do care, and the theory is this will bring them to the negotiation more quickly and willing to accept harsher terms. He may even pop a tac nuke (10-20kt) to add to the effects.
It worked for the US when up against the fanatic Japanese.
[Aljazeera] The world’s three biggest shipping lines have suspended non-essential deliveries to Russia, joining a growing list of companies shunning Moscow amid Western sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine.
Danish shipping giant Maersk, Switzerland-based MSC and France’s CMA CGM all announced on Tuesday that they would no longer take bookings for goods from Russia and were suspending most deliveries to the country.
Citing the impact of sanctions, "bookings to and from Russia will be temporarily suspended, with exception of foodstuffs, medical and humanitarian supplies", Maersk said in a statement.
MSC announced similar measures, saying it would "continue to accept and screen bookings for delivery of essential goods".
CMA CGM said its "utmost priorities remain to protect our employees and ensure as much as possible the continuity of your supply chain".
"In the interest of safety, the group has decided to suspend all bookings to and from Russia as of today and until further notice," it said in a statement posted on its website.

Your American press is so full of lies and bullshit
The BBC's own correspondent in Mariupol, Joel M. Gunter, reports now the truth. Russia's about to complete its takeover of Mariupol between Donbas and Krym
the deputy Mayor of Mariupol told Gunter this:
"The Russian forces are several kilometres away on all sides. The Ukrainian army is brave and they will continue to defend the city, but Russia does not fight with their army, they just destroy districts.
“We believe in our Ukrainian army, but we are in a terrible situation.”
BBC reporter summarizes
Full story live on Ukraine developments
- Russian forces claim control of key port city and surround others
- heavy bombardment of residential districts
- fears of humanitarian crisis in Mariupol
- Zelensky says Russia is trying to ‘erase’ Ukrainians

More bullshit ... ridiculous estimates about the daily cost to Russia of the war effort. Asiatimes military expert sources put that at less than $500 million, not "billions." Even if half its $630 billion in reserves were frozen, Russia can easily afford this
Asiatimes.com:
"Russia’s low-cost war can endure Western sanctions: Ukraine operation costs under $500 million daily and data shows martial Moscow is prepared to pay a high blood price"

End of dollar dominance. So obvious.
Probably move toward a gold standard like what happened after British sterling was knocked off its perch after World War One
Guess who has lots of gold

We understand you hate Russia but why tell China and India that they need to work hard and quickly end their exposure to US dollar blackmail?

Y'all all say this bullshit as if we don't despise Biden to begin with and think he's an appeasing piece of #### who's probably on Putin's payroll.
"But don't you care about the Holy Dollar?"
Well, the Holy Dollar is one of the things thta made them think they could replace the American oilfield with Russian oil and helped fund the current invasion. It's one of the reasons we haen't been able to talk about things to the eco-commu-nazis here. So fuck it.

Several of those Turkish Drones would come in handy. IEDs on their approach routes? NLAW and Javelin small unit ambushes, with Stinger to cover vs helis and aircraft?
All kinds of irregular warfare stuff can be done with what they have in place.
Route clearance is going to be very important for Russian forces.
Sad thing is, Ukraine has no way of winning this militarily. They are getting their cities rubbled and their infrastructure blown up. All they can do is force the invaders to pay more in blood and equipment. It comes down to how bloody minded Putin is.
Putin's dug in like a tick, paranoid as hell from all indications, and likely going mad in his isolation with all those "long table" photos.
I do wonder if he is getting the full truth? I know I would NOT want to be the one to bring him the casualties and equipment loss reports.
Too bad we cannot get a Tom Clancy Red Storm Rising ending for Putin.

Both sides of this war are centrally controlled from a place that resides above the sovereignty of nations but with the collaboration and participation of the traitors in the CIA FBI and the thousands of ivil servants at the very top of the global power structure of our government As such:
This is all a part of the great-reset/global-enslavement plan. Think of the Hegelian Dialectic - the controllers creating a deliberate problem, to get a preplanned reaction, in order to implement a preplanned solution - as a slicing pendulum blade. Now think of the back and forth between the beats of the fabricated pandemic and the beats of the newly fabricated war as that blade cutting our freedom to shreds.
With each new crisis comes a new restriction and with each new restriciton our freedom shrinks a little and government grows a little.
This is the problem--reaction--solution Hagelian Dialectic working as designed, and all of the problems and solutions are a pantomime play , none of this is organic. And as a result, by the end we will all be slaves in a panopticon prison planet. ...Unless we stop them. Mass civil servants arrests and executions has to be the only solution at this point.
#23
been a long time since I read anything that took Hegel's Philosophy of History seriously. IMO, his theory is over 95% nonsense.
But if you accept Hegel's theory you should remember that he thought that America (maybe North, maybe South) would be the world leader after the German leadership era. He also thought the final stages of world history would combine political and individual freedom.

"If you think you have understood what I said, then I have not made myself clear."
[WAPO] DNIPRO, Ukraine — Russia intensified strikes on cities across Ukraine on Tuesday, but the advance of foreign forces ground to a halt outside Kyiv as local troops and volunteers steeled themselves for a fierce battle for the capital.
U.S. and British officials said a long column of tanks and combat vehicles was stalled roughly 20 miles north of Kyiv on the sixth day of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, deepening questions about whether Moscow’s assault will yield a protracted war of resistance with its much smaller, less powerful neighbor.
The convoy, stretching some 40 miles, has moved little over the past day as the Russian forces have grappled with fuel and food shortages, a U.S. defense official told reporters, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.
In its most recent battlefield update, the British Defense Ministry said Ukrainian forces continue to hold the cities of Kharkiv, Kherson and Mariupol, but all three "are now likely encircled by Russian forces," and air and artillery attacks on urban areas are intensifying.
The United Nations has recorded more than 130 civilian deaths since the beginning of the fighting last week, including 13 children, mostly because of shelling and rocket fire. The true human toll is likely far much higher, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights said.
Officials say Moscow has now pushed into Ukraine more than 80 percent of the combat power it staged within Russian border areas and in neighboring Belarus in recent months, demonstrating Putin’s determination to cripple a Western-backed government he claims has undermined Russian security. Ukraine has refused to forswear its right to join the NATO military alliance, a proposition Putin has described as a red line.
The conflict has upended global ties with Russia, triggering successive rounds of international sanctions, including measures targeting Russia’s central bank and cutting the country off from the global financial system. European nations have also come together in defiance of Putin’s actions, with some countries abandoning their long-standing policies of neutrality or conflict-avoidance to expand military support to Ukraine. I doubt the convoy is stalled. Probably just awaiting the final rocket barrage softening up before going in.

...you overrate the Soviet Russian capabilities of logistics. The Suez Canal leap by the Egyptians was a classical Russian model. One big push, then what? Appears nothing has changed much. In those 40 miles, have sats shown any fuel staging points?
It's not just a Russian problem. When we were sent into the Balkans, our uncontested column was stopped on a flooded river bank for two days, cause they left the engineer battalion that far back in the road march.

total bullshit from western agitprop press
there's no evidence at all that this was not Russia's plan from the start - grab the critical south and landbridge to Krym peninsula then move north to create cauldron like against fascist armies in 1943 and 1944

First, they have no where to go, no staging areas, no spot to rally. They expected to roll into a passive environment. Now they are strung out and vulnerable. My only question is why are the Ukrainians not attacking them. Seems odd.

That was a better Russian Army, actually battle harden with fewer yes men. It's more like the one in the summer of 1941 now, full of 'politically reliable leaders'. Don't worry, we're now working on installing those types in ours.

As an aside, anyone have an idea about the nature and load-bearing condition of the areas adjacent to the MSR/Column? Are they road bound in part because of trafficability issues that would be created by so many tracked vehicles?

Kyiv temperatures are low 30s (F) now, rising to high 30s in next few days. Once the ground starts to thaw, it will be the spring mud season. Lots of problems for heavy armor off of heavy duty roadbeds.

[REGNUM] Ukrainian militants began shelling the village of the Abakumov mine in the western part of Donetsk, the press service of the DPR representative office at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC) reports on the official Telegram channel.
“According to operational information, the village of the Abakumov mine in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk is under fire ,” the representative office noted.
As REGNUM reported , on March 1, the People's Militia of the Donetsk People's Republic liberated five settlements in the DPR during the offensive. They managed to take control of the settlements of Ivanovka, Talakovka, Starodubovka, Berestovoe and Belotserkovka. It was noted that during the day the DPR troops advanced to a depth of 19 kilometers.
[REGNUM] The White Book of Novorossiya is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Donetsk People's Republic , which tells about the victims of terror by Ukrainian armed forces in the Donbass in 2014-2015.
On 320 pages of the book in three languages, Russian, Ukrainian and English, it is told about the dead civilians - children and the elderly, men and women.
The book contains about 150 illustrations. The publication is not recommended for viewing by citizens under the age of 21.

If half the forces Ukraine had in the East for trying to hold onto the Donbass were around Kiev instead, Putin wouldn't have started the war to begin with.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Retired Russian FSB operative Igor Strelkov tells his vision of the course of the demilitarization operation in Ukraine
[CHERVONEC] Southern Front (Nikolaev - Zaporozhye)
On the left flank, the advance of Russian troops in the Nikolaev area continues. Apparently, an operation to block the city will be launched today. At the same time, preparations are underway for the assault and cleansing of Kherson (probably will also begin today). Along the lower reaches of the Dnieper - the situation is unchanged (expected).
On the right flank - advancement to the north on the outskirts of Zaporozhye. The main efforts are still aimed at cutting off the enemy grouping operating in the Donbass. However, so far (also expected by me) the environment is far away. Reports that the advancing Russian troops reached the nearest approaches to Izyum, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk have not yet received confirmation (although, perhaps, I simply do not have enough information, but nothing like this is reported to me from the field). The enemy continues to withdraw troops to the west to Dnepropetrovsk, although now - under active influence from the air and the corresponding heavy losses.
On the Donetsk front
On the southern flank (region of Mariupol and Volnovakha)DPR units fought hard battles and had tactical successes, occupying a number of settlements in the depths of the enemy’s defenses. Mariupol, however, as of yesterday evening, was not yet completely blocked, although the transfer of large units from the city and to the city was no longer possible due to the impact of artillery and aviation. Also, Volnovakha - there is no data on its complete encirclement, and the settlements to the west of the city, which must be taken for such a blockade, are not yet occupied (they were not reported to be taken). At the moment, Volnovakha is covered from the south (the road to Mariupol was cut in the Granite area), from the east and from the northeast.
In the central area, the enemy retains all forward positions and conducts brutal shelling of advanced units of the DPR Armed Forces and settlements, primarily Donetsk, Gorlovka, Makeevka and Yenakiyevo, as well as a number of other settlements. There is a lot of destruction, there are casualties and wounded among the civilian population.
On the right flank (LPR) . From the Svetlodar Bulge to the Seversky Donets, the enemy continues to maintain his line unchanged. To the north of this river, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to retreat in an organized manner (albeit with heavy losses), conducting rearguard battles. In all likelihood, Severodonetsk will not be left without a serious fight (today I expect fights for the city and its environs).
Central front
Left (southern) flank. From the most important area (on which it was necessary to concentrate (in my opinion) initially the main efforts, since it is here that it is necessary and still possible to solve the problem of complete encirclement of the Donetsk group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) - no reliable information was received.
As stated above, the locals do not yet know anything about the breakthrough of Russian troops to Izyum, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, and I have no other information at my disposal. Let's hope that the statements made by the enemy about the preparation of these cities for an early assault have serious grounds. Until Russian troops reach the nearest approaches to these settlements, only Yury Podolyaka and an unnamed "veteran of the Vostok battalion" can confidently talk about the "imminent encirclement of the entire group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
Central section. I'm waiting for the main information from Kharkov. Until the city is taken, further advancement to the west will inevitably slip. Yesterday all day in Kharkov there were fierce street battles with varying success. As a positive factor, it should be noted that (after the day before yesterday's losses) the Russian forces are actively using aircraft and all types of heavy weapons to destroy the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and "terbatov".
I believe that the battles for the city will not end today and will continue for another day or more (much depends on the tactical decisions of the commanders fighting there, on the spirit of the defending units, etc.). It will be necessary to "cleanse" the city from small groups of the enemy many more times and later. In any case, there is no doubt that Kharkov will be liberated. The only question is "when."
The advance of Russian troops in the direction of Poltava, the siege of Sumy and Chernigov also continues. According to some information, the delay in the assault on the above settlements is associated with a lag (for a number of subjective reasons) of the units and formations intended for this purpose with the arrival in the area.
Kiev area
On the northern site, Russian troops advanced to the suburbs of Kyiv - Brovary and began to form the "eastern" front of the blockade of the city. Today I do not expect any attempts to break through directly to Kyiv before pulling up and concentrating sufficient forces. The most likely attack of Russian troops on Boryspil with the aim of capturing this largest airport and cutting off Kyiv from communication with the southeastern part of Little Russia (along the Kyiv-Lubny highway). I believe it is possible to mark this promotion as the most serious success of yesterday.
Right bank area. Fierce battles continued on it yesterday with heavy losses on both sides. Russian troops continued to expand and deepen the breakthrough both to the south and to the west. On the outskirts of Kyiv, fighting continued in the area of the settlement.
Irpen, in the west - for the city of Borodyanka, in the south, Russian troops cut the Kyiv-Zhitomir highway and continued to advance in order to intercept the Kyiv-Bila Tserkva highway. I believe that the main efforts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation today will be directed to the latter direction.
And accordingly, the enemy also (realizing the danger of a complete blockade of Kyiv from the south) will provide the most fierce resistance there. I note once again - in fact, the fighting is taking place in a zone of continuous development, interspersed with summer cottages and industrial zones. For the advancing, such a landscape presents the greatest difficulties and requires a lot of additional forces to control the territories already traversed. But the forces are coming - I know this for sure.
General conclusions.
Despite the fierce resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the military battalions, as well as objective difficulties with supplies, the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues on all sectors of the front. At the same time, taking into account the experience gained, deep, but unsecured breakthroughs by the second echelons, the command has not yet made in order to avoid unjustified losses from the actions of enemy mobile groups on communications.
The second echelons are being actively and urgently pulled up, measures are being taken to urgently recruit and transfer units and divisions of the commandant's service to the theater. And the hasty formation of new ones on the territory of the Russian Federation has already begun (which pleases).
The main offensive military operations for today will be conducted in the area east and west of Kyiv, in Kharkov, in the Donbass and in the Zaporozhye region. Perhaps - near Poltava.
The enemy will continue to offer fierce organized resistance in the hope of pinning down the Russian troops by fighting the “fortresses” deliberately left surrounded by garrisons (Kharkov, Mariupol, Sumy, Chernigov, Volnovakha, possibly Severodonetsk, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk) and trying to prevent the complete encirclement of Kyiv (the garrison of which will soon be surrounded by forced).
At the same time, the enemy will continue to form defenses in the Dnepropetrovsk region and hastily create as many "territorial defense" units as possible through active mobilization (which, alas, was a very large percentage of those called up).
Today I expect new operational successes of the Russian troops, but not a strategic turning point in the direction of defeating the main groupings of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Operation Denazification
[CHERVONEC] In the first days, the Russian troops showed excessive peacefulness and fraternal relaxation. After the start of actions in accordance with all the rules, losses significantly decreased, reserves and other interesting things were brought up in the theater of operations;
The operation smoothly turns into a steam roller, slowly and inevitably rolling over all targets;
The Nazis concentrate in cities, actively use the tactics of a human shield, and without a shadow of a doubt they hit civilians with artillery and MLRS on occasion and without it. Relying on dominance in the information field, they shift all responsibility onto anti-fascists;
The Nazis are trying to damage the image of Russia and fan the fire of internal discontent in it. The anti-fascists, in turn, decided to play long and are patiently engaged in the encirclement of the APU group in the JFO, as well as blocking cities, playing to exhaust and strangle the Nazis;
Public opinion in Ukraine itself is now not on the side of anti-fascists, and there are several reasons for this, such as successful IPSO, as well as the effect of rejection of the invasion and the outbreak of patriotism. Here you need to understand that even despite the rolling of tanks throughout Ukraine, the charge of turbopatriotism is very far from 14 years old, and social problems are much wider. Such sentiments are not evenly distributed across the country, weakening from the northwest to the southeast.
The obvious mistakes of the Nazis make their own adjustments. In particular, the distribution of tens of thousands of barrels did not cause a wave of resistance to anti-fascists, but led to mass chaos and looting. Losses from internal conflicts and friendly fire as a result of mass armaments are high, and the costs of killing civilians are unacceptable.
In general, the usual CTO is going on, which, for good, Yanukovych should have done back in 2014.
Russia told the OSCE that the special operation in Ukraine will be brought to an end
[REGNUM] Russia's special operation to demilitarize Ukraine will be completed, which was announced to OSCE colleagues, Konstantin Gavrilov , head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, said on March 1 on Rossiya 24.
Follow the development of events in the broadcast: "Russian special operation to protect Donbass - all the news"
Commenting on the talks in Vienna on the situation in Ukraine, Gavrilov said that he explained to the members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe what the goals of the Russian special operation are.
The purpose of the operation is to prevent the death of the civilian population of Donbass, to prevent a third world war. He added that the Russian side told its European colleagues the background to these events and stated that neither sanctions nor threats would change its plans.
At the same time, the Russian side announced that it intended to complete the "special operation of denazification, demilitarization of Ukraine."

[DW] Germany's energy dependence on Russia is enormous. Will nuclear power plants have to operate longer and the coal phase-out have to be postponed? Some see fresh opportunities in the current crisis.
The largest gas storage facility in western Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... is located 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) underground in the town of Rehden, in the northern German state of Lower Saxony. The size of 910 soccer fields, the facility can hold the annual natural gas consumption of about 2 million single-family homes. "Big. Bigger. Rehden." is the slogan on the website of the company that operates it. The facility plays a central role in the security of supply for Germany and Europe.

[AlAhram] German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Sunday that Germany is committing 100 billion euros to a special fund for its armed forces, raising its defense spending above 2 percent of GDP.
``It's clear we need to invest significantly more in the security of our country, in order to protect our freedom and our democracy,'' Scholz told a special session of the Bundestag in Berlin Sunday morning.
The move is a significant one for Germany, which has come under criticism from the United States and other NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... allies for not investing adequately in its defense budget.
Scholz's announcement, which came during a special session of Germany's Bundestag Sunday morning, was the latest in a series of major shifts in German defense and security policy this weekend in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
On Saturday evening, the German government announced it would be sending weapons and other supplies directly to Ukraine, which is fighting to keep Russia from invading its capital city.

TORONTO, March 1 (Reuters) - Canada ratcheted up pressure on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine by shutting ports to Russian-owned ships and saying on Tuesday that holdings of all Russian oligarchs and companies in the country are under review.
Canada has announced a slew of measures to isolate Russia, including imposing sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin, closing Canadian airspace to Russian planes, banning oil imports and forbidding Canadian financial institutions from dealing with the Russian central bank, acting in tandem with other Western countries. read more
"Today, we are taking steps to close Canadian waters and ports to Russian-owned or registered ships," Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said.
Alghabra said while the number of Russian ships entering Canadian waters and ports is "small," there will still be an impact, especially with other countries doing the same.
Russia represents less than 2% of Port of Montreal's annual containerized volumes, and the ban will have little commercial impact, a port spokesperson said.
Port of Vancouver, Canada's busiest, said the number of Russian-flagged vessels calling there is minimal. In the past, those that have traded in crude oil, canola oil and copper concentrates, a spokesperson said.
Canada is tracking three Russian-flagged vessels off the East Coast, one of which is a cargo vessel, a government official told Reuters.
[Washington Examiner] Sen. Joe Manchin called on President Joe Biden to ramp up domestic energy production to curtail the United States's reliance on Russian oil and gas imports, accusing the White House of pushing "hypocritical" policies.
The West Virginia Democrat said in a statement late Monday that the U.S. importing about a half-million barrels of oil products from Russia a month poses a "clear and present danger to U.S. national security."
The "entire world is watching as Vladimir Putin uses energy as a weapon in an attempt to extort and coerce our European allies," said Manchin, who leads the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Many Republicans have said in recent days that Russia's aggression vindicates the case for added U.S. production of fossil fuels, but it's unusual for a member of Biden's own party to make the same argument. Manchin, though, has long favored fossil fuel production and has been skeptical of his party's regulatory agenda.
"While Americans decry what is happening in Ukraine, the United States continues to allow the import of more than half a million barrels per day of crude oil and other petroleum products from Russia during this time of war," Manchin said. "This makes no sense at all and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s energy security."

Some Cliff Clavin Facts ☺
A barrel of USSR oil now costs $105+/-.
US buys 500k barrels of oil a day from the USSR.
500k barrels of oil makes about 20 gallons of gas and 12 gallons of diesel fuel.
Using the US DOT/EPA averages
Gas vehicles get about 25+/- miles per gallon on average.
Commercial Diesel trucks average about 12+/- miles per gallon.
42 vehicle miles per barrel of oil.
42+/- driving miles now costing about 174.50% more than it did in Nov. 2020. Consumer goods now cost 174.5% more to deliver and purchase.
The estimated cost of the Ukrainian War to Russia is roughly $34 Billion per day.
The US consumers are paying $52.5 Million a day to fund the Invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Or about 15/100's of 1% per day.
A Russian T-14 Armata Tank costs $3.7M so at $52.5M. The US is funding 14 such Russian tanks per day, OR 2 Su-57 Russian fighter jets.
-----------------------
SOME HISTORY
Oil has gone from $38.25 during the last months of TRUMP's Admin to $105 under the Biden-DC Swamp Admin. Or a 174.50% increase in 1 year 1 month since Biden & his handlers took office.
We have now exceeded the Obama Admin for the cost of Oil. We can expect the national average price of fuels to be the same as Obama's shortly or more due to LSD funded inflation.
Summary:
☻ One must admit Biden learned a lot from Obama☻.
[IsraelTimes] All 31 countries that are members of the International Energy Agency agree to release 60 million barrels of oil from their strategic reserves "to send a strong message to oil markets" that there will be "no shortfall in supplies" as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the group says.
The IEA board makes the decision at an extraordinary meeting of energy ministers chaired by US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm ...Former Dem governess of Michigan, Energy Secretary under the Biden administration. She'll likely consider that enough to qualify her for a presidential bid come next election... . Besides the United States, other members of the organization include Germany, La Belle France, the United Kingdom, Japan and Canada.
IEA members hold emergency stockpiles of 1.5 billion barrels of oil. The release amounts to 4% of stockpiles, or roughly 2 million barrels per day for 30 days.
"The situation in energy markets is very serious and demands our full attention," IEA executive director Fatih Birol says. "Global energy security is under threat, putting the world economy at risk during a fragile stage of the recovery."

...The world as a whole burns through approximately 97 million barrels of oil per day. So that means roughly FOURTEEN HOURS worth of global oil consumption.
No doubt Putin will be quaking in his boots once he stops laughing.

Thanks for doing the math! That was my question. This may be pointless virtue signaling, but it does "send a strong message to the oil markets" that all parties involved are useless wankers.
— NORTH PRESS AGENCY - ENGLISH (@NPA_English) March 1, 2022
Al SHADDADI, Syria (North Press) – Four people were wounded on Tuesday to varying degrees, in a tribal infighting between the tribesmen of al-Mahasin tribe in the village of Sarab, in the northern countryside of al-Shaddadi.
”The cause of the fighting is due to an old dispute between two families of al-Mahasin tribe,” a local source from the village of Sarab told North Press.
”Three people were injured in the infighting. They were transported to hospitals in Hasakah and al-Shaddadi, and they are in good condition,” the source said.
” There has been tension in the region so far, amid appeals from the population to resolve the dispute between the two families.”
The Internal Security Forces (Asayish) began investigating and searching for wanted persons to resolve this dispute, according to the source.
Last February, a young man was seriously injured in a tribal infighting between al-Mahasin and al-Na’aim tribes in the village of al-Hariri, in the eastern countryside of al-Shaddadi.
