[NYDAILYNEWS] A white woman riding a Queens MTA bus was bashed in the head during a confrontation with three Black passengers who told her they "hate white people," police sources Thursday.
The incident is being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force.
The 57-year-old victim was riding a Q53 bus in Woodhaven when she got into an argument with three Black women or girls about 6:50 p.m. Saturday.
As the exchange heated up, one of the women hit the victim over the head with a blunt object, leaving her bleeding from the head, police said.
"I hate white people...the way they talk," the victim recalled her attackers saying, police sources said.
The assailants rushed off the bus at Woodhaven Blvd. and Jamaica Ave.. They ran off and have not been caught.
The victim was treated at Jamaica Hospital, where she needed two staples to close the gash on her head

[NYPOST] Pulse-pounding video shows the moment a trio of Florida home invaders frantically reverse course after a resident blasts at them with a gun.
The footage from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office shows the men gathering and chatting in front of the residence on July 7 before one of them opens the door and shoves the homeowner inside.
Two of the suspects barge in while a third can be seen standing guard outside with what appears to be a firearm.
Deputies said the homeowner dropped a gun he was holding while trying to fend off the attack and that the pistol was picked up by one of the intruders.
But the victim managed to scramble to another part of the house where he kept additional firearms and began shooting at his assailants.
Gunfire can be heard exploding on the Ring camera footage, followed by all three invaders scampering out of the home and away from the scene, cops said.
They climbed into a nearby getaway car being driven by a fourth suspect and fled.
Da’Torrance Hackworth, 20, and Antonio Dewayne Dean Jr., 18, were both picked up and now face a slew of raps including home invasion and illegal gun possession.
Joseph Roman Sanders, 18, remains on the lam, and deputies are still trying to identify a fourth suspect.
Sheriff Chip Simmons said the victim will not face any charges for shooting at the men and backed the rights of homeowners to defend themselves in a recent interview on Fox.
"If someone breaks into my front door, barges in and attacks me or my family they are going to get shot," Simmons said. "I afford that same consideration to the residents of my county."

There was this story about two idjits entering a house to rob it. They encountered pictures and portraits of Dolph Lundgren in there, then discovered it was his place when they saw family photos. They very respectfully retreated from the house. I don't know if it's true.

The homeowner could have been better prepared for the situation. We all need to think before hand of a tagline to yell in the vicinity of the Ring camera. “The Price is Wrong Bob,” could be used as a fallback, but contemplating something truly inventive can really drive up your YouTube engagement stats in the aftermath of an assault or aggravated felony.

Was she pushed?
[FoxNews] Former President Trump's ex-wife Ivana Trump has died at age 73 after being found at her New York City apartment unconscious and near the bottom of a staircase.
"I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City. She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
A spokesperson for the New York City Police Department told Fox News that police responded to a 911 call on Thursday and found the 73-year-old unconscious.
An NYPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital there is no criminality suspected and police are staging outside her Upper East Side home for security purposes.
Partners in love and business — with her playing roles such as manager of one of his Atlantic City casinos — Ivana and Donald were fixtures of New York's see-and-be-seen scene before their high-profile divorce. At the time, Donald Trump had met his next wife, Marla Maples.
The split was acrimonious, but Ivana ultimately remained friendly with her ex-husband, whom she famously called "The Donald." She enthusiastically backed his 2016 White House run and told the New York Post in 2016 that she was both a supporter and an adviser.

[Breitbart] A District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on Thursday morning issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Air Force from enforcing the vaccine mandate against any airman who has filed a request for a religious accommodation, according to court documents.
Judge Matthew W. McFarland granted a motion brought by airmen to extend a court order from March 31 that prohibited the Air Force from disciplining or discharging plaintiffs fighting the mandate based on their religious beliefs to all airmen who filed religious accommodation requests as a "class."
The court order is a temporary restraining order (TRO), which is an emergency measure to preserve the status quo for up to 14 days while the judge is considering granting a preliminary injunction (PI), which would in turn last through the entire litigation process.
If the judge continues to believe that the mandate is illegal, then the court will convert the TRO to a PI at the end of that window, effectively protecting all of these service members while the Biden administration appeals the decision to the Sixth Circuit appellate court.
“For the reasons, that follow, Plaintiffs have satisfied the Rule 23(a) prerequisites, as well as Rule 23(b)(1)(a) and Rule 23(b)(2). Thus, class certification is warranted,” the court order said.
#1
...If the USAF/DoD had been smart - which, y'know, they ain't - what they should have done was approved, at random, about 10-15% of the religious exemption requests, instead of the almost zero percent they actually did approve.
Had they done so, they would have been able to point at a small but undeniably positive number, and given how bureaucracies work, they could have given any number of explanations for each one and even the media would have been able to back them up.
[Breitbart] At least 260,000 American troops — or about 13 percent of the 2.1 million total force — are not fully vaccinated despite a Biden administration vaccine mandate for the military, and many of them could face discharge.
According to the Department of Defense website, at least 268,858 service members as of July 13 are still not in compliance with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s August 2021 mandate for every member of the military to be fully vaccinated with two doses of a vaccine. That figure does not count the thousands who have not taken any doses.
Only about 20,000 of the more than 260,000 have received a temporary or permanent exemption, according to the latest statistics provided by the services. That means the rest face discharge from the military at a time the services are struggling to find new recruits.

Question: IF Biden's handlers decide to discharge them, and it's not a 365/200 (service under 200 days) discharge. Would they be facing a Dishonorable Discharge?
Which could BAN them from purchasing weapons in the future.
Also, an effective way to disarm/Ban 260,000 tactically trained adults, which likely now have ANTI - Liberal - Democrat Biden issues at the same time.

Dishonorable Discharge
Would not likely stand in court challenge. There is enough information out there that will give a court the basis to find that it was not a lawful order. That would over turn all those papers and have to be reissued as general discharges.
Besides, if the Trunk take over Congress in November, they can direct that any and all such discharges be classified as general. It's that or watch a lot of pet project disappear in appropriations, not to mention manpower cuts (to include targeting the number of general officers on active duty). I don't recall a single instance in which a Congresscritter ask for a revised discharge upgrade that wasn't granted. The word at the Puzzle Palace was basically - let the Wookie win.

[KhaamaPress] A polygamous man who had three wives was reportedly murdered by two of them in the southwest Afghan province of Nimruz, according to the state-run news agency ...and if you can't trust the state-run news agency who can you believe?... of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... Local Taliban officials were cited by the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency, which said that this man had three wives and was murdered by his first and second wives.
According to the Taliban local officials, the women were aided in carrying out the murder by their brothers.
Nothing concerning the motive for the murder or how it was carried out was mentioned in Bakhtar’s report.
The victim’s neighbors, however, reported to the police that the victim’s first and second wives were not happy with the man’s third marriage.
Nevertheless, the wives and the accomplices were reportedly arrested in connection with the murder of this man.
A case of family violence occurred last week in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, resulting in the deaths of one man and the injuries of three others, two women and a man.
According to the authorities, the man killed one man and injured three others after reportedly attacking his ex-wife.
There have been more instances of family problems and domestic violence escalating into violence and murders nowadays.
[Breitbart] Jesús Faría, Venezuelan socialist party lawmaker, admitted on July 5 — Venezuela’s Independence Day — that the Maduro regime actively engages in internet censorship by brazenly reminding Venezuelans, “you can’t say whatever you like.”
These statements, coupled with evidence of mass communications wiretapping happening in Venezuela, serve as a reminder that no one is safe to freely speak here and that expressing dissent against the regime and its authorities can come with a huge price.
At the head of the socialist regime’s censorship and privacy-breaching framework is the National Commission of Telecommunications (Conatel), the entity that regulates all telecommunications in the country, be it phone, internet, and media.
Conatel has blocked access to dozens of dissenting websites, has forced local TV channels into self-censorship, has penalized political satire, neutered newspapers, closed more than 190 radio stations and taken shows off air, and has ordered private phone carriers to engage in mass surveillance and wiretapping of phone communications to curb dissent.
MASS-SCALE PHONE SURVEILLANCE
Having lived two thirds of my life under chavismo and lived through the rise of Hugo Chávez’s “Bolivarian Revolution,” I witnessed the constant presence of an unproven fear among friends and family most often expressed with the phrase, “you cannot say that over the phone.” It was a reference to the regime’s alleged — but always unconfirmed — wiretapping of phone conversations.
At first, in the first half of the 2000s, I remember it being a sort of playful urban legend — but with time, and, as the Socialist Party cemented its grip on Venezuela, what was once a myth became a reality with proven evidence.

"The Russian-appointed administrator of a small town in the Russian-occupied east of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region has been killed by a car bomb presumed to be the work of Ukrainian saboteurs, the regional occupation authorities said."https://t.co/NP96DS5eiNhttps://t.co/lllTnMCm0D
It appears Ukrainian HIMARS strikes have killed or wounded most of the leadership of the Russian 106th Airborne and 20th Motorized Rifle Divisions. Russian sources confirm the deaths of those officers. https://t.co/C2skfXiIkXpic.twitter.com/1HW2M0jkvV
What this presents is a problem. Russians have had generals (acting like colonels) near or in the front lines because they have to personally direct operations. However, if they are within HIMARS range, then they become priority targets. That means moving back which then relies upon subordinates to carry out the operation. However, the generals are up there because they don't have reliable subordinates (who are doing captains work anyways). Someone is targeting the sociological weakness of the Russian system.
#7
With the number of "warrior bureaucrats" in Brussels and the Pentagon wouldn't it clear a lot of useless ROAD (Retired On Active Duty) deadwood...? Pardon my cynicism but the bloat in the number of flag rank officers seems more than criminal...
#8
HIMARS are high value targets. There appears to be an ELINT signature or leak enabling targeting. Presumably the Russians could emulate that pattern and effectively ambush the HIMARS with counterbattery fire or loitering drones creating an ambush after they salvo. Wouldn’t have to destroy it simply disable it long enough for follow on strikes to take them out. Believe there are only eight currently operating. Curious that they haven’t been more aggressively targeted
#12
How effective were we in locating SCUD launchers in the Gulf War with air supremacy?
Piss poor, even with near 50% of strike aircraft dedicated to finding towards the end of the air campaign.
Cloluck Bourbon1058 has hit on the question that most people ask. HIMARS are very hard to hit because they don't stay in one location more than 5 minutes and that is to fire. The Ukrainians use them at night as they know the Russians have shit to none for night vision, can't fly drones deep into the Ukraine as they get shot down as fast as they send them (see Putie-pie begging Iran for drones) and the Russians can't get air superiority. Combine all that with a huge lack of technological solutions like counter battery radar and they will only be able to take out a HIMAR if they are very lucky.
So far the Ukrainians are showing they understand hit and fade tactics very well and they are very effective against a slow, lumbering and untrained military like the Russian army.
#13
HIMARS mobility aside, Class V (ammunition) is the weakness, and the danger for unexpected consequences. The Russians have got to have (perhaps with PLA help) good orbital tracking of the resupply routes and points of entry into Ukraine from NATO. Interdiction at the point of entry/transshipment would seem to be within cruise missile/IRBM range for convention strikes if momentary air superiority is unlikely.
Circular probability of error/ poor vodka maintenance might result in a NATO country strike in error(intentional or not). Poof, escalation dance begins and somebody says tac-nuke. To Quote Admiral from Hunt for Red October:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZuMe5RvxPQ
#15
Circular probability of error/ poor vodka maintenance might result in a NATO country strike in error
The ability to determine a strike near the border or across the border is nil. The Russians know that. Those NATO countries on the 'frontline' most likely have an air defense zone that starts at the border to that distance inside of the Ukraine their systems will reach. Not the the Ukrainians would object to a no-go zone in that case. AWAC can detect launch and direction from way into country and vector the appropriate ADA asset.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA Novosti] The strike in Vinnitsa was inflicted on the House of Officers, where the temporary accommodation center for nationalists was located, Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the MIA Rossiya Segodnya and RT, said on her Telegram channel, citing the Ministry of Defense.
"I asked the Defense Ministry where they hit in Vinnitsa . Answer: "In the House of Officers, there was a temporary accommodation point for the Natsiks," she wrote. Commonly known in Slavic circles as a hostel.
As stated by the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. Together with the forces of the DPR and LPR , they have already completely liberated the Lugansk People's Republic and a significant part of the Donetsk.

- Ukrainians plan to blow up a bridge across the Volcha River in the Dnepropetrovsk region in order to accuse the RF Armed Forces of indiscriminate strikes;
- In the residential buildings of Kharkov, the militants of the national battalion "Kraken" equipped ammunition depots, and placed armored vehicles and MLRS in the yards;
- Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices force mobilized to refuse a medical examination.

"I came to Western Ukraine and they asked me how your war is going."
"How dumb do you have to be to think this is someone else’s war!?"
It seems that the inhabitants of Western Ukraine are increasingly concerned about the question - "Is this their war?". However, not out of humanism, but because of the mobilization and strikes on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in their regions.
18:04 Relatives of servicemen of the 24th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Lviv are asking to hold the command accountable. They also accuse the Ukrainian military leadership of neglecting the lives and health of their subordinates, the lack of modern weapons and the cases when their husbands had to go with machine guns alone against tanks and aircraft. In response to inquiries about the fate of their relatives, the command simply replies, copy-pasting the same text that the servicemen allegedly went missing.

09:06 Representatives of the Committee for Youth Policy and Tourism of the Zaporizhia Regional State Administration, together with the leadership of sports schools in Melitopol, held a meeting with young athletes. The meeting concerned the introduction in the liberated territories of the All-Russian physical culture and sports complex "Ready for Labor and Defense" (GTO) - the normative basis for the physical education of the country's population, aimed at the development of mass sports.
07:44 There were about 10 arrivals in Nikolaev. The Russian Aerospace Forces attacked school number 51. Ukrainian units were quartered in this school. One of the arrivals was at the hotel where the command staff lived.
05:41 Nikolaev rocket strikes were carried out from Kherson. Columns of smoke rise from the site of the explosion above the city.
0:36 The main events of the past day on July 13, 2022:
- Kharkiv direction. A DRG from the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was sent to the Dementievka area. During the fighting, five militants were eliminated, another ten were captured. In the area of the Great Passages, Cossack Lopan and Tsupovka, the enemy tried to inflict fire damage on our units, but had no significant success and was forced to retreat.
-Slavic direction. Our troops advanced along the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway, which in fact means the beginning of fighting in the vicinity of Slavyansk itself. Heavy fighting continues for Seversk. In the Barvenkovo area, a Ukrainian Su-25 was shot down in an air battle.
- On the Donetsk sector of the front, a Su-24 aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was shot down in Novoukrainka, which is not far from Ugledar. The counter-battery fight with the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues in Avdiivka. Russian troops came close to Bakhmut (Artemovsk).
- In the southern direction - on the territory of the shipbuilding plant in Nikolaev, more than 350 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and 20 units of military equipment from the reserve of the operational-tactical group "Kakhovka" were destroyed. A Ukrainian MiG-29 was shot down in the Mykolaiv region. Also in the sky over Melitopol, a Ukrainian reconnaissance and strike drone was shot down, carrying a charge to bombard the liberated peaceful city.
- "Arrivals" from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At night, Ukrainian militants launched a massive strike from the MLRS on the military air defense unit in Luhansk, which ensures the security of the city. In the Kirovsky district of Donetsk, two civilians were killed and one wounded.

Ambassador Melnyk, is that you?
NYTimes on Ukraine's pro-Nazi emissary to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, who in Berlin of all places lavishly praised Ukraine's favorite Nazi, the mass murderer Stepan Bandera who is worshipped in Ukraine to this day:
"in Bandera’s native west, statues are erected in his honor; streets are named after him. Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe, a Polish historian in Berlin, said that Ukraine “sooner or later will have to deal with Bandera.”
"Part of the reason Bandera remained so prominent, he said, was that even leading intellectuals refused to reconsider the history. “They don’t really want to open Ukrainian history to the history of the Holocaust, the history of fascism,” he said.
"To many Ukrainians, Mr. Melnyk’s views are uncontroversial: Bandera — who was assassinated in Munich by Soviet agents — is seen as an anti-Soviet freedom fighter who made difficult compromises in the fight for independence. They deny his Nazi collaboration by pointing out that Germany later interned him in a concentration camp over his independence efforts...."
Germany’s leading center-right newspaper Die Welt posted a banner headline at the top of its page last Friday evening just before Shabbat came in here in New York: “[Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andrej] Melnyk’s statement trivializes the Holocaust.” In a radio interview last week, Melnyk compared Ukrainian Nazi leader Stephan Bandera to Robin Hood and vehemently denied—in the face of massive historical documentation—that Bandera had helped to murder 800,000 Ukrainian Jews during World War II. The Banderites also helped to murder between 40,000 and 100,000 Poles.
Poland’s embassy to Berlin also denounced Melnyk’s statement.
Yet there was barely a peep in the American press—I found a single passing mention in the Washington Post and nothing elsewhere—and not a word from any American Jewish organization.
The incident was a top item in every major German news outlet, but unmentionable in the American media, not to mention polite company. Echo-chamber-driven group-think has achieved a new dimension of control.
Israel’s embassy to Germany had declared: “The statements of the Ukrainian Ambassador are a distortion of the historical facts, a trivialization of the Holocaust and an insult to those who were murdered by Bandera and his people. The statements of the ambassador undermine not only the values that we all treasure, but also undermine the brave fight of the Ukrainian people to live in peace and with democratic values.”
Holocaust denial is sadly endemic, but I can think of not a single instance in the past generation when a senior official of a Western-allied country—let alone one that will receive $70 billion in aid from the United States—openly and unashamedly defended a perpetrator of genocide against Jews. Yet that is what Ukraine’s Ambassador Andrej Melnyk did vehemently and without shame.
#14
Bandera the Nazi is worshipped as a hero in Ukraine. They don't even try to hide it. This is well known in Poland and Germany and across East Central Europe. Only in the USA does anyone try to deny or suppress this obvious well-known fact.
Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe is a research associate at the Freie Universität Berlin. He studied cultural history at the Viadrina European University and wrote his doctoral dissertation about Stepan Bandera and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists at the Universität Hamburg. His dissertation is the first comprehensive and scholarly biography of the Ukrainian far-right leader, and the first in-depth study of his political cult. Rossoliński-Liebe was a fellow of the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, the Jewish Claims Conference, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, and the German Historical Institute in Warsaw.
#18
Lots of photos and links collected by this journalist at the Jewish publication, The Forward, of Ukraine's many monuments to their favorite Nazi collaborator, Bandera, who who oversaw the murder of over 800,000 Ukrainian Jews during the war.
Honest question to "badanov": You seem like a well-intentioned, serious person. The discussion is about whether or not Ikraine's nationalists glorify their Nazi last. Obviously, they do-- as evidenced by both Lev Golinkin's article with its dozens of links and impeccable sourcing and Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe'a excellent study that I linked to above.
"Badanov": Why are you being sarcastic about this?
Are you trying to deny, or brush off, the tons of solid evidence about the widespread, fervent cult of Stepan Bandera in today's Ukraine?
If so, why? I'm genuinely curious as to why you retreat into sarcasm about such an important matter.

Oh you have a dog in the fight, you're posting Russian pr on an American website. If you were neutral, you wouldn't post a Russian article titled "denazify campaign".
They invaded a smaller neighbor, that's it.
Just FYI and all your American traitor friends, not only have Finland and Sweden been added to NATO, Ukraine is going to informally be a part of it.
The current DoD bill added $ 100 million just to train Ukrainian pilots on the US equipment. In a couple of years they'll have every piece of NATO equipment except F 35s.
For you Americans who side with Russia, you guys don't realize the USA owes Ukraine protection, we intimidated them to get rid of their nukes, otherwise we wouldn't have us a war right now.

"Today, the West's ruling elites are raising the degree to which they manipulate the public consciousness right before our eyes. The ruling classes of the Western countries, which are supranational and globalist in nature, realized that their policies are increasingly detached from reality, common sense and the truth, and they have started resorting to openly despotic methods.
The West, which once declared such principles of democracy as freedom of speech, pluralism and respect for dissenting opinions, has now degenerated into the opposite: totalitarianism. This includes censorship, media bans, and the arbitrary treatment of journalists and public figures.
These kinds of prohibitions have been extended not only to the information space, but also to politics, culture, education, and art – to all spheres of public life in the Western countries. And, they are imposing this on the world; they are trying to impose this model, a model of totalitarian liberalism, including the notorious cancel culture of widespread bans.
However, the truth and reality is that the people in most of these countries do not want this life or this future, and really do not want the formal semblance of sovereignty, they want substantive, real sovereignty and are simply tired of kneeling, of humiliating themselves before those who consider themselves exceptional, and of serving their interests even to their own detriment.

We have the Russian perspective and the Ukrainian perspective here, and our readers have the knowledge and experience to make their own judgements.
As for the Russians dying out — which is true — unfortunately at the current birthrate the Ukrainians are dying out as well. And, if the published numbers are true in both countries, at a slightly faster rate even before the current Russian effort to clear the land of Ukrainians. From the CIA World Factbook:
Russia:
median age: 40.3
population growth rate: -0.22% (shrinking, not growing)
total fertility rate: 1.6 children per woman
Ukraine (pre-invasion):
median age: 41.2
population growth rate: -0.5 (shrinking, not growing)
total fertility rate: 1.56 children per woman
In two generations, at the rate both countries are going, both countries will be empty, with nobody left to prevent the dwindling hordes from Africa and Middle East from wandering in. Not that they’ll stay, with no rich country to batten off (and no proper clothes for the bitter winters), but that won’t help the two wonderful peoples who won’t be there to see it.
Incidentally, the Jewish publication, The Forward makes much of its Jewishness, but really they are really boring, plain vanilla Socialists with a gloss of Manhattan — fine if you want to know what’s in the local theaters and art galleries, but otherwise even more parochial than the rest of New York City.
Finally, about David P. Goldman, the polymath who owns the Asia Times and writes columns for both its editorial page and P.J.Media as Spengler: after long writing on the subject in both publications, a decade ago he published How Civilizations Die: (And Why Islam Is Dying Too) . The blurb explains:
Thanks to collapsing birthrates, much of Europe is on a path of willed self-extinction. The untold story is that birthrates in Muslim nations are declining faster than anywhere else — at a rate never before documented. Europe, even in its decline, may have the resources to support an aging population, if at a terrible economic and cultural cost. But in the impoverished Islamic world, an aging population means a civilization on the brink of total collapse — something Islamic terrorists know and fear. Muslim decline poses new threats to America, challenges we cannot even understand, much less face effectively, without a wholly new kind of political analysis that explains how desperate peoples and nations behave. In How Civilizations Die, David P. Goldman, author of the celebrated Spengler column read by intelligence organizations world wide, reveals how, almost unnoticed, massive shifts in global power are remaking our future.
So, gentlemen, if you wish Ukraine to survive, stop fighting on the internet and go make babies with your wives.
The same to the pro-Russia trolls who are doing the same. It will be a terrible thing when all we have of both your peoples is some YouTube videos of folk dancers, some math formulae, and a few translated books in our libraries because nobody remembers the original languages.

Back on topic, Zelensky was never aligned with Ukraine's far right while running for office. He shifted hard right when it became clear that without far-right support he would have no power whatsoever.
After Biden came back into the White House the return of the Nuland-Sullivan cabal pushed Zelensky into a far more provocative and reactionary position beginning in March 2021.

To the earlier poster's point: please stop hijacking the thread with all the natalist bullshit.
This is a discussion about the persistent influence of far-right extreme ethnocentrist and nationalist ideologies in Ukraine.
That may be what you are interested in discussing. We find the entire point overly Scholastic and unimportant. As it happens, the exact same could be said about Russia, with equal justification, so mentioning it at all, let alone going on about it for endless comments, is utterly, utterly boring.
And as others have said, counterproductive.
Instead of wasting your time being ineffective here, you should go home and make some babies with your wife so that the Russian people does not die out completely in the next two generations, leaving only the emigrants — primarily Russian Jews, as it happens — to carry on your culture.

The title of the thread makes it clear that this is a discussion about "denazification". We don't give a shit about your idiosyncratic concerns. We are discussing whether or not you crave it needs to be "denazified." That is all.
STOP HIJACKING THE THREAD. Go post your rants about fertility rates on another thread. Thank you.

The IR radiation from the LED fixes the drone. An industrial operational-tactical military drone takes a target from a distance of at least one kilometer. Then the signal goes to the MLRS. The transfer time is seconds. Next comes the blow.

[REGNUM] The Kiev regime continues to evade solving the problem of foreign ships blocked in the seaports of Ukraine, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev , head of the National Center for Defense Control of the Russian Federation, said at a briefing on July 14 .
Dozens of foreign ships are blocked by minefields and the threat of shelling from the Ukronazis.
“In six ports (Kherson, Nikolaev, Chernomorsk, Ochakov, Odessa and Yuzhny), 70 foreign ships from 16 states remain blocked. The threat of shelling and the high mine danger created by official Kyiv do not allow ships to freely go to the open sea.
... At the same time, there is a danger to navigation and damage to port infrastructure from the drift of Ukrainian mines torn from anchor along the coast of the Black Sea states , ”said Mizintsev.
The Russian side has organized two sea corridors in the Black and Azov Seas for the safe exit of ships.
“The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have created the necessary conditions for the functioning of two maritime humanitarian corridors, which are safe lanes for the movement of ships:
Detailed information on the operation of the maritime humanitarian corridors is transmitted daily every 15 minutes via VHF radio on 14 and 16 international channels in English and Russian, ” the head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation specified.
[REGNUM] Several munitions that pose a danger to navigation were found in the Black Sea near the village of Kamen-Bryag in the Dobrich region of Bulgaria. This was reported on July 14 by the Sofia information portal News. bg .
According to preliminary data, we are talking about floating mines. The origin of the ammunition is unknown. It is noted that the Bulgarian Navy sent two minesweepers to the region. No other details were provided in the message.
Recall that earlier the Bulgarian authorities warned about the increased risk of ships colliding with Ukrainian mines, regularly carried into the territorial waters of Bulgaria due to hurricanes and storms.

[RIA Novosti] Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a federal law supplementing the Criminal Code with an article on public calls for activities directed against the country's security. The document was published on the official Internet portal of legal information.
Thus, criminal liability threatens persons who make public calls for activities directed against the security of Russia , as well as those who prevent the authorities from exercising their powers to ensure this security. The maximum penalty is up to four years in prison.
It will be clarified that the use of one's official position, as well as the media or the Internet, increases the maximum sentence to six years in prison, and when these actions are committed by an organized group of persons, up to seven years.
Thus, the Criminal Code is supplemented with the article "Repeated propaganda or public demonstration of Nazi paraphernalia or symbols, or paraphernalia or symbols of extremist organizations, or other paraphernalia or symbols, the promotion or public display of which is prohibited by federal laws", providing for a maximum penalty of up to four years in prison.
The law also provides for the amendment of the Criminal Code with an article “Violation of the rules for centralized management of technical means to counter threats to the stability, security and integrity of the functioning of the Internet information and telecommunications network and the public communications network on the territory of the Russian Federation”, which provides for a maximum penalty of up to three years in prison.
In addition, the Criminal Code is supplemented by the norm "Violation of requirements for the protection of state secrets", which introduces criminal liability for traveling abroad by a Russian citizen who was admitted or previously had access to state secrets, whose right to travel was obviously limited for him. This provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to three years.
Putin signed a law on reducing fines for participants in foreign trade
Also, illegal movement or transfer of carriers containing state secrets outside Russia is punishable by imprisonment for up to four years.
In the article "Mercenary work" the sanctions are tightened and brought into line with the penalties for crimes similar in nature and degree of public danger.

[Breitbart] The government of China announced it would make a large purchase of cotton from occupied East Turkistan for its reserves, the South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday – an apparent desperate measure in light of the implementation of an American law banning slave-made products from the region.
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), which passed Congress last year and took effect on June 21, bans the import of any products from East Turkistan, which China calls “Xinjiang,” to the United States unless the potential importer can prove that no slave labor was involved in the production or manufacture of the imports. The Act became law after years of campaigning by human rights activists in Uyghur groups to try to keep products made by Uyghur slaves off of American store shelves.
China is currently engaging in a genocide campaign against Uyghurs, the native population of East Turkistan, and other Muslim-majority ethnic groups in the region. The Communist Party is executing the genocide in part through the imprisonment of millions of people in concentration camps, where survivors say they endured extreme torture, rape, indoctrination into communism, and slavery, among other crimes. Extensive investigations by journalists and human rights advocates have gathered evidence indicating that significant percentages of Chinese products are now being made by Uyghur slaves and the Communist Party actively complicates the ability of companies to know the origin of what they are buying.

[Breitbart] China’s state-run Global Times claimed on Tuesday that Western media was unnecessarily “hyping” protests by roughly 1,000 people in Zhengzhou, China, on Sunday in which participants demanded several rural banks release millions of dollars of deposits after unceremoniously freezing them in April, ignoring the fact that Chinese security personnel physically abused and injured several demonstrators during the rally.
The Chinese Communist Party-controlled newspaper’s editors the following on July 12:
Chinese experts on Tuesday refuted recent Western media hype over problems with four rural banks in Central China’s Henan Province that have sparked widespread attention as well as swift regulatory actions, noting that the cases are “isolated” and do not represent any nationwide systemic risk and China has the capability to prevent major financial risks after years of efforts to set up a multiple-layered financial risk aversion mechanism.

I have been told there is a bank run in California. I have seen nothing reported as yet. I can imagine why it would not be reported. Source is a local bank. I will say no more as that would cause problems for who knows who. Culprit seems to be Iran not Russia. EMP attack. So idea is get your money; as if it is EMP attack, how long would you go without money. I believe the election this year will be very interesting.
[Breitbart] The International Monetary Fund (IMF) published a paper Wednesday that warned of dark, troubled economic times ahead when the world can expect to have less of everything except “social instability.”
It cautioned tighter government controls in a host of day-to-day areas will be needed including elevated taxation rates, trade restrictions, monetary tightening, and fiscal measures directed at wealthy economies addressing “climate change” to help redistribute wealth to “vulnerable” countries.
The paper, authored by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, was released as G20 ministers and central bank governors gather in Bali, Indonesia, to chart the next 24-months of global financial performance.
Georgieva, a former CEO of the World Bank and European Union (E.U.) commissioner, outlined the first problem is rising inflation which delivers punitive taxation without legislation.
She makes clear “Inflation is higher than expected and has broadened beyond food and energy prices. This has prompted major central banks to announce further monetary tightening—which is necessary but will weigh on the recovery. Continuing pandemic-related disruptions—especially in China—and renewed bottlenecks in global supply chains have hampered economic activity.”
It is going to be a tough 2022—and possibly an even tougher 2023, according to the Washington, DC, based organization with increased risk of recession on a global scale that will usher in an age of austerity and denial.
The way to strangle inflation is through tighter controls.
The IMF goes on to caution “Most central banks will need to continue to tighten monetary policy decisively. This is especially urgent where inflation expectations are starting to de-anchor.
History tells us WWI and the Spanish Flu Pandemic played a major part in creating the Great Depression 1929 -1939. Which took almost 20 years and another World War to dig out from under it.
[WesternJournal] Maybe you’ve seen the bumper sticker on a truck that says "Yes, this is my pickup. No, I won’t help you move."
If you have an electric pickup, you may want to think about reversing the idea of that bumper sticker. Because helping someone make a short-distance local move may be about all you can do.
That’s an exaggeration, of course, but not by much. Because if you want to tow a trailer or a boat, your destination had better be close; otherwise you’ll be making frequent stops to recharge your battery system.
YouTube publisher Fast Lane Truck did a comparison between an electric and a gas-powered pickup to determine how far each could tow a 3-ton box trailer.
The contestants were an electrified Ford F150 pickup vs. a GMC Denali Ultimate Edition with a 6.2-liter V-8 gas engine.
Each towed an identical new "toy hauler" trailer about 25 feet in length that, while empty, was large enough to transport an entirely-sheltered automobile.
The vehicles began their test in Longmont, Colorado, heading southbound on Interstate 25 toward Denver, about 33 miles away.
The F150 charged up and the GMC filled up before taking to the road. The electric truck’s computer estimated 160 miles of range, which included calculating for the size and weight of the trailer. The gas-powered GMC’s computer, also taking the trailer into account, estimated 264 miles of range.
Off they went, with the goal of the F150 getting 147 miles down the road to a fast-charging station in Pueblo, Colorado.
But that estimate was optimistic. The electric truck had only traveled 6 miles when the computer recalculated range from 160 to 150 miles, cutting things very close if it was to reach Pueblo. That called for a change of plans — the new charging stop was Colorado Springs, about 45 miles closer.
After going 50 miles, the electric truck recalculated its range to indicate it couldn’t even make Colorado Springs. South of Denver, the truck was down to a 20 percent battery charge and, concerned about being stranded with a dead battery, the driver had to turn around and drive the F150 back north to the Denver exurb of Castle Rock to find a fast charger.
With low battery warnings blazing, and power automatically reduced to 90 percent, the electric truck, with 9 percent left on its battery, hobbled into a Target parking lot in Castle Rock.
But that caused another problem. Battery chargers tend to be lined in rows on the edge of parking lots. Because they do not provide a drive-through like a traditional gas pump, they cannot accommodate a vehicle with a trailer.
As a result, the F150 test vehicle and trailer were blocking a major portion of Target’s parking lot. "They’re probably not going to sponsor us in the future," quipped one of the test participants.
The gas truck? Its computer showed 129 miles of remaining range, so that driver had enough range to return to their starting point in Longmont. That Target is right in my downtown area. So sad when you can't even haul shit from Longmont to Pueblo.

Probably would have been better to drop off the trailer, go back and recharge, then return, pick up the trailer again, and continue to the next recharging point.
Or carry a generator inside the trailer along with all the nasty fossil fuel you can tow.
#4
The batteries are heavy and each maker has different interfaces. They are expensive to the extent that compared to stealing catalytic converters the crime wave that would be produced would probably be breathtaking.
Still, it's a good idea.

Can one get a spare battery for such things,...
It is easy to imagine an automated electric 'gas station' where you pull in, slide out the old battery, slide in a new one, and away! That implies a level of interoperability and manufacturer cooperation that has to be baked into the design. Batteries weigh about 1,000 so moving them around is interesting. I wonder what kind of warranty you get on a pre-owned battery? No doubt the lawyers would have a field day with the liability issues.
The ignored question here is where the electricity to put in the batteries comes from in the first place.

Based on intel from an acquaintance (as Ford hasn't publicly published this yet) battery packs for the F-150 Lightning weigh between ~1,800 for 'Standard Range - 98 kWh' and ~2,400 pounds for the 'Extended Range - 131 kWh'.

Innit funny. We have these vehicles from dozens of makers that all use exactly the same fuel. It's available literally everywhere. Most of these vehicles can go 300+ miles on one tank full.
But no social credit cachet or snob appeal.

Interesting numbers, Mullah Richard. According to my calculations, an infinitely large battery would give you the ~300 mile range of an internal combustion engine.

Hybrid in-town runner? Sure. Out of town? Gas or gas/hybrid with range

Simple solution: Recreate dinosaurs (or ancient flora... but let's keep things simple) from recovered DNA. Market their tasty flesh and hook the public on it. Develop fake dino meat, which nobody will want to eat. Turn surplus product into petroleum. Voila, green oil!
