PTSD is no joke. Seriously, if you're concerned about the potential of PTSD manifesting among the troops, military leaders are advised to stay the fuck out of Ukraine and refuse to follow illegal orders and balk at committing war crimes.

Man. See you in January to figure out where this is headed.

Another maritime area of interest for modern-day ship spotters. Anyone want to guess what missiles and launch platforms will be used? That's a modest stretch of water for a missile to travel, eh?

For those out crab-fishing off the coast of Murmansk this week, if you troll up about 400 km northeast and share with us some nice captured footage of what the Russian Navy is up to, I'll be happy to pay for the gas.

Russia’s nuclear test site in the Arctic has begun tightening security over fears of "drone deliveries," similar to those seen during Operation "Pavuty­na." www.thebarentsobserver.com/security/rus...

Perfect time for POTUS to tell Intelligence Community employees to stay the fuck home for the gov't shutdown.

I remember having a lot of respect for Merkel, but I shouldn't let her obvious dementia stand in the way of that. Because news flash: Putin is responsible. Nobody else. When Merkel enters hospice, I'll have to remember to send flowers or currywurst.

Trillions of rubles sounds like it would make for a potent defense budget until you look at the exchange rates. What's going on, Russia? You guys okay in there?

Nice reminder. Hopefully these words won't be lost in the upcoming Quantico rumble.

Reading this article made me fill with rage... "The translation rates in China are usually set at the lowest levels seen anywhere in the world, less than half of most other developing countries’ languages." cbltranslations.com/blog/chinese...

Know this: If you come up to me dressed like this and tell me you are a federal agent of any sort and put a hand on me, there will be blood. A lot of it might be mine - I'm an old out-of-shape guy, but without identification, your touch implies my consent to attempt to beat your ass.

Italy makes all the right moves, departs the war before the curtain falls, and makes sure the Brits and Yanks are the first to know. Stalin the Benevolent accedes to Eisenhower not having to have his hand held by a Soviet in witnessing the surrender document being signed. Thanks, Joe!

Good one.

I'm ready, as is the rest of America, to see the version of Charlie Kirk's memorial service with a raucous laugh track added. Also, perhaps some sad trombone effects every few minutes.

Interesting to see how strategically Japan was moving their chess pieces based on its assumptions of whether or not the US would respond.

Less than three weeks before the Pearl Harbor attacks, the Soviet agents in the Tokyo embassy were putting it on the line. Good stuff.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Let's keep our eyes on the Epstein prize as well.

100%

This looks monumental.

To induce vomiting.

@translatinghistory.bsky.social dropping a subtle bit of snark. You go, kids.

Look who came with

Getting closer to Pearl Harbor (briskly rubs hands together)

Good stuff. "Sorry kids, your god was actually Satan." Contemporary parallels for $1000, Alex.

British spy John Cairncross sends a classified telegram meant for Lord Halifax's eyes to Moscow, via Soviet resident in London. Details include UK, US concerns over Japanese attack on Soviet Union, and how to suppress Axis influence on Japan's actions.
