    Bruh. Even AMK is reporting BS interceptions. This is a plume from the Iranian missile itself. Oreshnik looks like that too.

    Edit: He edited the caption. Never mind.

    Also, tangential reminder: an interceptor going up and exploding doesn't mean a successful interception happened. They are designed to self-destruct when they run out of fuel.

  • Ukraine retook a sizeable chunk of rural territory that Russia had recently captured, removing the immediate threat of the capture of Pokrovske (not Pokrovsk). A success to be sure, but not game-changing at all. Russia's focus is on Orikhiv, to the south, where they continue to make gains.

    Russia's long-term plan appears to be the capture of the major city of Zaporizhzhia, which would pave the way for a crossing of the Dnieper river, and eventually the capture of Odessa. Ukrainian leadership sees that coming and is taking steps to prevent it.

    The tank counting post is safe to ignore. OSINT people only count open-air storage visible in satellite imagery. Russia has likely already moved most of the salvageable tank hulls to storage buildings where they await refurbishment.

  • Unhinged gusanos? If so, it's really funny that the survivors are in Cuba now, receiving free medical care against their will.

  • And the first one is a blurb from a bloodwork report where they explain the ranges. I don't think labs have access to your full medical history.

  • Russia's recent aid seems to be focused on preventing infiltration of special forces. They are also sending attack helicopters and night vision goggles.

    This will actually indirectly help Iran's real air defense by protecting the launchers and radars from saboteurs.

  • What "conspiracy theories" do you believe in?

  • Hugo Chávez was injected with a weaponized cancer-causing virus by the CIA. Just look at everything else that has happened to Venezuela since then. They are ruthless.

  • Yes. It's a pathetic culture war thing like how Ukraine changed the date of Christmas.

  • It's regime change or bust, in my opinion. They will throw the kitchen sink at Iran, even using nukes if all else fails. But they will likely start with targeted strikes to encourage another internal rebellion. The current massive US buildup will (for the moment) exist to deter Iranian responses.

  • Invalidating existing identity information could have good synergy with the looming voter ID law...

  • This is absolutely worth suspending the filibuster for. It could potentially lock in Republican rule for decades. I would be shocked if they don't do it.

  • Yes, but I think people here tend to overestimate the geopolitical effect of that coup. I really don't buy the argument that Pakistan has become a total US puppet as a result.

    Pakistan's Defense Minister complains about the country being used by the US "like toilet paper" over the past few decades, the killing of "100-120 million" Muslims by the US, and the assassination of Gaddafi's son.

  • Do you mean the image in the article? The pointy bit is the abort system, which pulls off the crew capsule from the rocket in case something goes wrong. It's only needed in manned spaceflights which is why it's rare to see nowadays.

    If you mean the flat part in the image I posted, that's where the cone-shaped crew capsule detached from. The rest of the rocket did a landing burn to gently splash down in the water for reusability testing.

  • Is it purely a coincidence that Maduro was kidnapped right when Venezuela had run out of oil storage space?
