interesting article, one of the claims is that the buildup of forces was ignored by elements of the Russian intelligence services to force Putin to respond harshly; that they thought he wasn't taking the Ukraine situation seriously enough. it partially makes sense given the rivalries between the FSB, GRU, SVR etc but it'd take a lot of people agreeing to let a buildup of 12k troops (as given on Russian state TV recently, likely less) go unnoticed, especially considering the toll it'd take on the affected territories.
Honestly, I don't think the author even proposes this as explanatory, but I feel like:The Kursk P.R. gambit is set to massively fail. Essentially, the Ukrainian forces are moving away from their lines of communication and supplies into Russian territory. A parallel can be made with what happened to Field Marshall von Paulus at Stalingrad when the German Army became overextended.
Is the best explanation. They created an opportunity for Ukrainian forces to overextend themselves on a massive scale with the hopes of winning a decisive victory that could end the conflict. The donbass shit was going nowhere fast, a back and forth slog, a slow meat grinder. "Create a massive opening on our border and let the Ukrainians pour through it en masse, then isolate and destroy them" is some seriously Sun Tzu ass shit though. -

Originally posted by ner vegas the story I heard was that she and her husband were the ones who initially pushed for breakdancing in the Olympics, and that they held a lot of sway over the selection council.
the news has been spamming stories about how she had nothing to do with selection though so who knows, I don't care enough to dig deep

You don't even need to forage pussy leaves for GG to stay dry while you rail her, and you're complaining? What luxury, Donald! Embrace it!

2024-08-14 at 9:30 PM UTC in 2024 defcon & blackhat shenanigansI heard someone got hauled off stage for adding a hidden credits screen to the digital badge things they have, but I didn't really grok the underlying drama. Sounded like some lighthearted shenaniganry entirely in the spirit of the event, but event organizers were supposedly pissed? Hackercrackers are weirdge.

2024-08-14 at 6:54 AM UTC in That 6th bleach Ending is about touching little boyson the real tho "my pace" is kinda just a japanglish phrase they use in glorious nippon. means something like "bucking expectations". going your own way. living life at your own speed. marching to the beat of your own drum instead of the drumbeat of overwhelming japanese social pressure to live and act a certain way. it's probably not about raping kids unless that's something you want to do without regard for the inevitable opprobrium that accompanies raping kids.
