Yup, the Golden Horde and the Ottomans had ground Muscovy under their heels for centuries. They were ready to end that. Ironic that Catherine put so much effort into the Crimea considering that Putin put so much effort into reclaiming it. History is a repetitive tune isn’t it?

Interestingly, it was the Great Turkish War of 1683-1706 that was the turning point. The Ottomans had pretty much had their way with most of the world until that point. The Ottomans were stopped at Vienna in 1699 and then an Alliance of Austria, Poland-Lithuania, Venice, and the Russians team up to beat the Ottomans. It was actually the first war that saw Russia ally with Western powers. Interesting war to read about.

You mean you have seen the Cat D-10-Batt accessory. It's a 60 foot trailer consisting of 14 mega watts of batteries with 2 - 340 watt solar cells to keep it charged while the dozer dozes.

Of course, the batteries will drain in approximately 6 hours, and then they'll need 24 hours of direct sunlight to fully recharge.

So you think Putin moves while the SOTU is going on?

I worry he will move against us.

As others have said above, we have to hope that if Putin has truly lost it the middle management people see that and are not going to let him in a rage of suicidal glory kill every Russian there is.

Appears to be a highly effective round!

As long as you dont hit their spaced or add on armor. Most of the " armor boxes" you see are typically pretty hollow outside a thick shell.

May have some light weight filler but I believe they are typically hollow.

The Vice President…

It shows what she thinks about the intelligence level of the audience she's speaking to on that radio show.

The host asked her to "Break it down in layman's terms for people who don't understand what's going on" and her mind went to "Oh, well first I guess I need to tell them that Ukraine and Russia are countries."

She also I think is just really uncomfortable speaking about matters of foreign policy, even to an audience of laypeople who don't know any better, because she had zilch experience with it until she became VP.
