Another war we have no business fuelling. This is terrible
We have no fight with russia they are not our enemy and their incursion into ukraine was justified because ukraine was killing russian speakers in the donbass
This war would never have started but for careerist neocons like victoria nuland at us state dept . She and her ilk are responsible for at least 500,000 dead mostly young white men who had their whole lives ahead of them and will now never have a family or play music or study or enjoy life
This is just evil. Cut off the money and the war ends. Ukraine is over and deserves to lose.
[X] A chronic shortage of military vehicles has left the Russian army in Ukraine dependent upon civilian vehicles. This is leading to conflict; sometimes with weapons drawn; between Russian troops and military police, who are trying to confiscate the vehicles.
-------------- This is based on anecdotal info. Not sure how much of the 1000 mile front has this problem.

Source Author is a joker - here is another insight that he has had:
Russian soldiers who have refused to fight have reported being beaten and handcuffed to trees for days without food and water, while their commanders profit from bribes given by relatives desperate to avoid their loved ones being sent into suicidal 'meat wave' assaults.
Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 21:38 The Economist writes that Zelensky will visit New York this month, where on the sidelines of the UN conference he will try for the last time to convince the Biden administration to allow the use of long-range missiles on Russian territory. The decision will then be up to the administration of the new US president.
20:47 The number of victims as a result of today's shelling of Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region has increased to four, reported the head of the OVA, Serhiy Lysak.
20:15 The upper house of the Romanian parliament - the Senate - approved the government bill on the transfer of the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. Now the document must be approved by the Chamber of Deputies, after which the system can be delivered to Ukraine.
19:34 In Kharkiv, the number of victims as a result of today's attack has increased to 13, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. The Russians also struck the city of Kupyansk, one person was killed.
19:28 Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in the Kursk region is fulfilling its tasks and is going according to plan. "As for the difficulties in the Pokrovsky and Toretsky directions, we believe that the Kursk operation can also affect this. There may be a decrease in the escalation due to the reduction in the number of Russian troops. But for now it is difficult there," the president admitted.
19:16 Iran will supply Russia with ballistic missiles in the coming days, Bloomberg writes, citing sources among European officials. However, they did not provide exact data on the type, volume and timing of deliveries.
18:55 Defense Minister Rustem Umerov reported that he had a meeting with his French counterpart Sebastien Lecornu: they discussed weapons supplies, including air defense systems and missiles for them, as well as the creation of joint ventures and co-financing of production. "We have specific projects, an action plan and deadlines. Our teams are already actively working on this," Umerov said.
18:21 Ukraine already produces many long-range drones and is developing a missile program, but it lacks funds to scale up production, Zelensky said. According to the president, Kiev is currently working to get more funds for these needs. He also recalled that work is underway with Western partners to grant permission to strike Russian territory with its long-range weapons. "Usually, everything is a little later than when it is really necessary. Unfortunately," Zelensky said and specified that the relevant decisions should be made by the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany.
17:43 Putin arrived in the capital Ulaanbaatar at the invitation of Mongolia. Mongolia recognizes the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and theoretically should have arrested Putin, but instead he was solemnly met by an honor guard.
17:32 The number of victims in Kharkiv as a result of today's strikes has increased to 11, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. The hit was recorded on the territory of one of the universities. In addition, two enemy KABs hit a garage cooperative located near residential buildings in the Kievsky district. Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov added that a sports infrastructure facility was also damaged.
17:25 Zelensky reported that he was visiting Zaporizhia today, where he attended the first thematic lesson at one of the educational institutions together with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof. The President also discussed with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands the strengthening of air defense, new air defense systems, missiles for them, F-16 for Ukraine, and the necessary weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, they talked about the Netherlands taking patronage over Zaporizhia: this is infrastructure, protection of normal life, humanitarian issues.
16:58 The Netherlands is providing Ukraine with a new aid package worth more than 200 million euros, Prime Minister Dick Schoof said during a visit to Zaporizhia. The package is aimed at protecting and repairing energy infrastructure and includes additional funding for humanitarian aid.
16:07 Russians hit Russkaya Lozovaya in Kharkiv Oblast with a KAB - according to preliminary data, one person was injured, said OVA head Oleg Sinegubov. Also in Kharkiv, a hit was recorded in the Kievsky district, as of this minute, five people are known to have been injured.
15:26 Russian troops attacked Kindiyka in the Kherson region, three people were injured, OVA reported.
15:02 The Russian army fired artillery at Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region, two people were injured, reported the head of the OVA, Serhiy Lysak.
14:31 There are about 30 thousand residents left in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, more than half have already been evacuated, said the head of the GVA, Sergei Dobryak. At the same time, the pace of evacuation has increased: two weeks ago, 600 people left the area daily, now - about 2000 per day. According to him, there are 1365 children left in the city, and a total of 2279 children in the community. All children were evacuated from the settlements of the community located near the front line.
Dobryak also said that several lines of defense have been built from the front line to the city of Pokrovsk, which began to be built back in 2022, and now local authorities have been tasked with building fortifications in some areas of the city and are working on this.
13:39 The Romanian government has approved a bill allowing the Patriot air defense system to be donated to Ukraine and has sent it to parliament for consideration. Once the document is adopted by parliament, the system can be quickly transferred to Ukraine.
13:25 Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said that on August 31, Russians used the Grom-E1, a hybrid missile and guided air bomb, against the city for the first time. He added that the enemy's targets, as always, were civilian objects and peaceful people.
12:59 The Defense Forces used the Ukrainian long-range drone missile Palyanitsa for the first time against a military target in Crimea in August of this year, Ukrainska Pravda writes, citing sources.
11:51 Lavrov said that Turkey allegedly tried to renew agreements on protecting seaborne food supplies in the spring, and Russia was ready for this. According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, during negotiations with Turkey on the safety of commercial shipping, Kiev proposed including a clause on the safety of nuclear power plants in the document, but later itself rejected it, while Moscow was allegedly ready to agree to this proposal.
11:38 Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Poland and other countries bordering Ukraine have an "obligation" to shoot down Russian missiles before they enter their airspace: "I believe that when enemy missiles are heading towards our airspace, shooting them down would be legitimate self-defense, because once they cross our airspace, the risk of someone being injured by debris is significant."
11:17 In Kiev, as a result of a missile attack on the first day of the new school year, windows were damaged in two schools in the Shevchenkivsky and Svyatoshinsky districts. Utility workers are quickly eliminating the damage, and the educational process has begun in these schools, said the capital's mayor Vitali Klitschko.
11:12 Putin called the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in the Kursk region an attempt to stop Russia's offensive in Donbass, but, according to him, this was not possible. He also said that Moscow has never refused peace talks, but "we need to deal with the bandits" who have penetrated the country's territory. According to the head of the Kremlin, the current Ukrainian authorities are allegedly not interested in ending the fighting because they do not want to hold presidential elections.

09:57 Military journalist Andrey Tsaplienko visited the Kursk region and in his report told what is happening in the territory controlled by Ukraine. According to him, the Russian army is killing its own citizens with KABs in the territory of Sudzha and other settlements of the region that are under the control of the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian commandant's office is perceived by locals as an authority, and some local residents no longer want to return to Russia.

Also, according to OSINT organizations, Russia has redeployed elements of the 1st "Slavic" Motorized Rifle Brigade from the Donetsk direction to the Kursk region.
The redeployed units were probably reserve units that the Russian military command intended to use to strengthen the group in the Toretsk and Pokrovsky directions, analysts believe.

Wow. Four hours. Lucky guy.
[Regnum] Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he usually sleeps six hours, and sometimes even less, and advised against following his example in this matter. The Russian leader said this on September 2 during an open lesson "Conversation about the Important" for students of School No. 20 named after Heroes of the Fatherland in Kyzyl.
During the conversation, one of the students asked the president how much he sleeps to stay in such good shape.
"It's awkward to lie, I'll tell it like it is. But it's not a good example. Don't take my example in this regard. Today I slept, let's say, four hours. That's not enough. But usually I sleep about six hours," Putin responded to this.
He urged the student to sleep at least eight hours, as he has many different active activities, including sports, for which he needs to be in shape.
"And I need to be in shape. The fact that I slept only four hours today, and I sleep six hours in total, is not because I am such a busy person. But because I cannot properly organize my working day. Every person should be critical of everything they do, of themselves. And draw conclusions. I will try to do this. And I advise you to do the same," the head of state added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on September 2, Putin held an open lesson, "A Conversation About the Important," at the Heroes of the Fatherland Secondary School No. 20 in Kyzyl. During it, the Russian leader called the development of the IT sphere one of the important areas of the state's work, on the success of which the future of Russia depends. According to him, the country is currently working quite well in this industry.
The head of state also noted that e-cigarettes seem "fashionable and cool" to young people, but this popularity cannot but cause concern. Putin warned schoolchildren about the harm of vapes, such as problems with memory, immunity, reproductive functions, adding that they also lead to deterioration of physical condition.

[Regnum] E. coli and salmonella were found in food products from the Nur cafe in the city of Tetyushi in Tatarstan, where a girl was poisoned. This was shown by the results of laboratory tests, the press service of the regional Rospotrebnadzor reported on September 2.
Unexpectedly.
The department specified that coliform bacteria were found in the shawarma preparation, boiled chicken, and four environmental samples. Salmonella was found in raw chicken.
“This indicates non-compliance with the technology of cooking and dishwashing,” REN TV quoted the Rospotrebnadzor message.
…not to mention not washing hands thoroughly with soap after using the bathroom, even if the only technology involved is a hole in the ground and a sluice bucket.
The food service establishment's products were disposed of. By a court decision, the cafe's operations were suspended for 80 days.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the schoolgirl died after eating shawarma bought in a cafe in the city of Tetyushi in Tatarstan. The eleven-year-old girl felt ill shortly after eating the dish, she was very nauseous. Two days later, the child was hospitalized in a state of acute toxic poisoning and shock.
Doctors tried to save the schoolgirl for five days, but she died on the night of August 27. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the child's death under the article on providing services that do not meet safety requirements. The body was sent for examination to establish the exact cause of death.
An epidemiological investigation was conducted with respect to the cafe where the shawarma was prepared. Rospotrebnadzor specialists identified a number of violations, including non-compliance with the sanitary and disinfection regime. The cafe's activities were temporarily suspended, and the materials were submitted to the court.
[Rooters] Two U.S. researchers say they have identified the probable deployment site in Russia of the 9M370 Burevestnik, a new nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed cruise missile touted by President Vladimir Putin as "invincible."
Putin has said the weapon - dubbed the SSC-X-9 Skyfall by NATO - has an almost unlimited range and can evade U.S. missile defenses. But some Western experts dispute his claims and the Burevestnik's strategic value, saying it will not add capabilities that Moscow does not already have and risks a radiation-spewing mishap.
Using images taken on July 26 by Planet Labs, a commercial satellite firm, the two researchers identified a construction project abutting a nuclear warhead storage facility known by two names - Vologda-20 and Chebsara - as the new missile's potential deployment site. The facility is 295 miles (475 km) north of Moscow.
Reuters is the first to report this development.
Decker Eveleth, an analyst with the CNA research and analysis organization, found the satellite imagery and identified what he assessed are nine horizontal launch pads under construction. They are located in three groups inside high berms to shield them from attack or to prevent an accidental blast in one from detonating missiles in the others, he said.
The berms are linked by roads to what Eveleth concluded are likely buildings where the missiles and their components would be serviced, and to the existing complex of five nuclear warhead storage bunkers.
The site is "for a large, fixed missile system and the only large, fixed missile system that they're (Russia) currently developing is the Skyfall," said Eveleth.
Russia's defense ministry and Washington embassy did not respond to a request to comment on his assessment, Burevestnik's strategic value, its test record and the risks it poses.

^USA was developing such a missile back in the 50s and 60s. It was a ramjet where the nuclear fission heated the gas on its way out the rear of the missile generating lots and lots of thrust.
Interestingly there was a cartoon character then called Roger Ramjet. His superpower came when he ate a 'proton pill'.
