2019 report from the RAND corporation detailing, amongst other points:
"Providing lethal aid to Ukraine would exploit Russia’s greatest point of external vulnerability. But any increase in U.S. military arms and advice to Ukraine would need to be carefully calibrated to increase the costs to Russia of sustaining its existing commitment without provoking a much wider conflict in which Russia, by reason of proximity, would have significant advantages."

@bonifartius @11112011 mate, get some bacon lardons and fry em off with some onions; add the lentils with plenty of water and dank volumes of cumin and a little tumeric; when it's nearly done stir in an unholy amount of double cream and some extra fried off bacon lardons
serve with fresh coriander and thick, well buttered toast
Report on the attack on Kherson, Ukrainian defense sounds weirdly unorganized, sounds like boys went out there with little to no organisation because all the people in charge had bugged out
@georgevaccaro it's about controlling the flow of information, people's feelings/"dis/mis"information are just the pretext.

@11112011 gosling fucking loves lentils
