I don't know whether I've seen that before and forgot about it or whether it's just logical

The lives of kids can make the military industrial complex even richer than they already are! Scraping the bottom of the barrel, one day at a time!

Scott Ritter on what happened. Apparently they didn't know much, and didn't tell him much. They just took his passport, and told him to contact the State Department. No receipt, no reason, no contact person. They took him outside and set him free, America is his prison.
It's now a third world banana republic. A running joke.

Scott Ritter notes that the State Department has branded him an "information terrorist" and correctly says this marks him out for death, because we all know terrorists can be legitimately killed.

Ural company "Fores" announced a bonus of 15 million rubles for the first downed F-16 fighter, they plan to supply Kiev with Western countries. This was announced to TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) by the company's CEO Sergey Shmotyev.
Earlier, the Dutch authorities said that they plan to transfer to Ukraine 24 F-16 fighter jets that can be used for strikes against the Russian Federation, while emphasizing that Kiev has the right to dispose of the weapons it receives. In addition, by the end of 2028, the Ukrainian side intends to receive 19 fighters from Denmark. Belgium also announced its intention to deliver 30 F-16 aircraft in the same period.
"We have announced a premium for the destruction of the F-16 fighter, if such vessels are delivered to Kiev.<… Also, those guys who knock out tanks supplied by Western countries to Ukraine receive payments. We paid 5 million rubles for the first tank, and 500 thousand rubles for all subsequent tanks. Now the queue of damaged tanks is more than 20 tanks. The reward reaches the guys who fight, who destroy tanks, " said Shmotyev.
15 million rubles = around $170k USD

The figures don't add up.
Also note how all the cripples, orphans, kids who will grow up without their dad, and dead soldiers are assigned no value at all.
The Butthurt Belt is nihilistic and satanic all at the same time.

March 17, 2022, treaty draft An early draft of a Ukraine-Russia treaty. The document is an English translation that Ukraine provided to Western governments at the time.
https://pomf2.lain.la/f/nqutzph.pdfMarch 29, 2022, Istanbul Communiqué The proposed agreement that was discussed at in-person talks in Istanbul, as summarized by Ukrainian negotiators
https://pomf2.lain.la/f/o8c2f8bc.pdfApril 15, 2022, treaty draft A later draft of a Ukraine-Russia treaty. The document’s header shows this was a version that landed on President Vladimir Putin’s desk. The map referred to as Annex 6 is not included.
https://pomf2.lain.la/f/nuv2ieml.pdfDocuments posted by the NY Times.
At the time, little about these peace negotiations was known, and what has leaked out in the two years since has been shoehorned into wartime talking points by each side. Mr. Putin contends the West pressured Ukraine to reject a peace deal; Ukraine's Foreign Ministry says that “if Russia wanted peace in 2022, why had it attacked Ukraine in the first place?”
The Times is publishing the documents it obtained in full. They are treaty drafts dated March 17 and April 15, 2022, showing the two sides’ competing proposals and points of agreement; and a private “communiqué” at in-person talks in Istanbul on March 29 that summarized the proposed deal.
The documents were provided by Ukrainian, Russian and European sources, and confirmed as authentic by participants in the talks and other people close to them. Some aspects of these documents have emerged, but most of the material has not been previously disclosed.
In addition to reviewing the documents, The Times spent months interviewing more than a dozen Ukrainian, Russian and Western current and former officials and others close to the talks; they include three members of Ukraine’s negotiating team. Many spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the negotiations.
“We managed to find a very real compromise,” Oleksandr Chalyi, a member of the Ukrainian negotiating team, said at a panel discussion in Geneva last December. “We were very close in the middle of April, in the end of April, to finalize our war with some peaceful settlement.”

https://www.rt.com/russia/599399-heavy-military-transport-drone/basically Russia is testing heavy lift drones that can evacuate a man up to 200kg, I'll embed videos later maybe.
they look so fucking stupid but on the other hand I really want to ride one.
the video also shows a drone with a mounted ATGM - this could be extremely effective if an operator is able to maintain a low-latency data connection to it, but the ECM environment in Ukraine makes this seem unlikely.
assume the drone itself has a range of 20km (reported range of the similar large 'Baba Yaga' drones the AFU fields) and they're able to mount KORNET launchers with a range of 8km or so, they'd be able to land the drone in places that can't be reached by foot (cliffs, rockpiles etc) and ambush armor when it comes within range.

Really drone riders should be a thing. There is really no reason why drone mounted infantry wouldn't work. They could be the new cavalry, at least until automated turret technology becomes cheaper and more widespread.
