One of those "guests" was me. I logged in to look over the list and there are only a handful of bots on this thread. I'm guessing there are a number of other members who are not logged in who are catching up on the news. Then there are probably even more non-Saintsfans who followed a search engine link here based on key words in the last page or so.

Makes sense about reading but not logged in.

And dang I forget how vast the internet is.

how does this forking end? this just keeps going, it feels so hopeless

How about the Russians get the hell out of Ukraine? That's the only way it will end.

at this point it doesn't really feel like they're gonna tuck tail and run at any cost

Well, if they want to destroy their own country, that's a choice I suppose.

i'd like to think the old very banned's are watching over everyone still

That's a good point I hadn't considered.

JASSM ER has 900km range.

Standard JASSM has 320km range.

It's basically upgraded tomahawk type cruise missile with a 1000lb penetrator warhead. ( perfect for hardened bunkers aircraft hangers or munitions storage buildings ).

Give em to them. Please.

Yeah this will help.

just 3 mo ago it was around 82.


there is a whole bunch of economic/financial turmoil waiting to pop off in Russia and they have no good remedies. They all will leave some damage to some facet of the economy/financial system.

Just today- CEntral Bank of Russia said it will "surcharge" banks/companies seeking loans with already high levels of debt

So - want $$$? ok since your are debt-laden, it will cost you EXTRA ( that you cant pay obviously due to already full of debt )

insane. They dont have any answers.

‼️ “The Bank of Russia has announced the establishment of macroprudential (preventive) surcharges for banks on new loans and bonds for large companies that have been identified as having a high level of debt burden.” www.kommersant.ru/doc/7313573

It's not unlike us during covid. Way to much money chasing fewer goods.

We had stimy checks, but China was shutdown. It was such a bizarro world. People were selling used cars for more then they paid for them.

Appears to be a major counter-attack in Kursk. Translated alert sent to residents in the area:

Kursk direction: liberation of Daryino
The situation as of 20:00 on November 24, 2024

In the Kursk direction, Russian troops continue the operation to de-occupy the territories occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The main battles are taking place on the border of the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts, where the RF Armed Forces are conducting massive assaults on Ukrainian positions.

In the Sudzhansky district, Russian troops concentrated their main efforts on the liberation of the village of Darino. In the course of several attacks, it was first possible to knock out the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the eastern part.

After so many years and decades wanting to rid of being the USSR, with Putin's dictatorship it is going back to the USSR sadly!

It certainly is trying- especially from an economic/financial aspect- which cannot survive an "expansionist" doctrine. Simply isnt enough funds to do so.
