@Paddy48672740 Wobei ein rassistisches Schimpfwort gegenüber denen, die einen gerade töten, noch ein wenig nachvollziehbar ist.

@Inclutus Sie können es nicht lassen.

How it started:

@prestonstew_ And then, a mere two weeks later:

Russian military recruitment ad from VK. Translation through Google

Among Zelensky's main shortcomings as president are his endless favoritism and his carelessness in personnel policy. Ever since 2019, there has always been someone this guy, someone at his shoulder, standing behind Zelensky and quietly whispering things into his ear. First it was the notorious lawyer Andriy Bohdan, then, until recently, the untouchable gray cardinal Andriy Yermak, then someone else. The current situation with the reported threat of dismissing the popular young defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov reminds me of early 2020, when Zelensky suddenly fired his first defense minister, Andriy Zahorodniuk. It seemed that, after a succession of post-Soviet parade generals, the new president had appointed the country's first genuine civilian defense minister in line with the Western principle of civilian control over the military, a man from senior business management. Many long-overdue reforms got underway, there was a clear plan, and anti-corruption watchdogs were quite pleased. But nope -- Less than six months later, Zelensky fired Zahorodniuk before allowing him to finish almost anything he had started. Because he had "failed to prove himself." At the time, however, the circles around the Defense Ministry, the Presidential Office, and the press persistently said that the sudden decision had been pushed by none other than Andriy Yermak, who had become head of the Presidential Office just a couple of weeks earlier and immediately began putting his own people in place and getting rid of those he disliked. After his dismissal, Zahorodniuk insisted in conversations that he had never had any conflict with Yermak, but the press of those years persistently reported that Yermak had convinced Zelensky to throw out the defense minister because he objected to the then-time drama of pulling back Ukrainian troops from the frontline with Russian-controlled militant formations in Donbas. The business manager in a suit was replaced by yet another post-Soviet general from the military bureaucracy, Andriy Taran -- who, during his two years in office became memorable mainly for being unable to string two words together and for constantly failing to complete the state defense procurement program. That is how we ended up with the endless, barely comprehensible carousel of reshuffles, dismissals, and appointments, which people here in Ukraine sometimes refer to as "rearranging the beds in a brothel." And now it is starting again. Fedorov, with enormous progress in Ukraine's digital transformation behind him, has served as defense minister for only about six months. He managed to cut Russians off from Starlink, drone production is booming, digitalization is accelerating, processes are being optimized, AI is being introduced on a massive scale, and there is now a strategy for technological superiority over Russia. And that's it -- Fedorov has already fallen out of favor because the young IT guy did not get along with General Syrskyi and his methods of working. And, according to rumors, Fedorov and his reforms have become a thorn in the side of those who have gotten too used to making very good money from military production. Now Ihor Klymenko, the interior minister and former chief of the National Police, is reportedly being lined up to replace Fedorov. He is remembered mainly for his video in which he boasted about how National Guard recruits are drilled obsessively to make their beds with the sheets aligned perfectly to a string. Every time our Defense Ministry starts climbing even half a head above the stagnant swamp, Zelensky's favorites always pop up and whisper in his ear -- urging him to appoint yet another mediocrity who would be comfortable for everyone, change nothing, and get in nobody's way. That is how we live and fight -- two steps forward, one and a half steps back.

@fpiatov @derspiegel

Der SPIEGEL sollte sich schon entscheiden, ob er keine Importe aus Israel oder aus den besetzten Gebieten will. (Oder ob er in einer fulminanten Wende des Redaktionskurses die besetzten Gebiete als Israel anerkennt.)

@oftaufOstsee Bislang das überzeugendste Argument. 😁

@Inclutus is halt geil

Gibt es einen guten Grund, in 300 Winchester Magnum einzusteigen, wenn man bereits 308 und 6.5 Creedmoor hat? Zumal es aktuell keine Möglichkeit gibt, mehr als 1km zu schießen. Schon 500 Meter sind eine Herausforderung, die Gelegenheit zu finden.

@Chris22365164 Ich bin im Prozess, den Jagdschein zu holen. Aber hier gibt es relativ wenige Elefanten und Mammuts, für die ich 300 WM benötigen würde.

@Inclutus Wären Sie Jäger, dann würde ich ironisch sagen: 300 Win. Mag. ist eh viel zu schwach. Das teutsche Reh liegt erst ab .50 BMG sicher am Anschuss. 😂

Der Gefechtskopf ist relativ klein, was die möglichen Ziele einschränkt. Aber für größere Ziele hat man größere CM, die man dann nicht mehr für die Ziele verwenden muss, die mit AGM-189 bekämpft werden.

Chinas Parteizeitung Global Times nennt die Entscheidung des PCA in Den Haag ein "Stück Altpapier". Keiner sollte überrascht sein von dem, was noch kommt.

Unfassbare Geschichte: Ahmadinejad soll erklärt haben, er sei bereit, den Abraham-Accords beizutreten, wenn er wieder iranischer Präsident wird. "Mr. Ahmadinejad became disillusioned with the Islamic republic system after he was disqualified to run for president three times, the associate said, and concluded that he could not ascend to power as long as the current system remained in place. He was concerned that, in the event of a war and regime change, Americans and Israelis would choose some opposition figure outside Iran who did not know the country and Iran would be destabilized, the associate said. He described himself to those around him as someone who could play the role of a reformer, like the former Russian president Boris Yeltsin, and said that if he came to power, Iran would recognize Israel and normalize relations as part of President Trump’s Abraham Accords, the associate said."

@CBGSpender Aus Star Wars Episode II die Schnulzen-Szenen zu schneiden wäre eine Verbesserung.

David Goggins seine Entwicklung ist auf brutale Traumata und absolute Rauheit zurückzuführen. Was macht der Verlag? Er bringt eine Clean Version heraus, die ohne harte Sprache auskommt. Ist in etwa so, als würde man aus einem Actionfilm die Kampfszenen schneiden.

@BrunoBrocoli @nicolange_ Mindestens mal von ihnen lernen.

@Inclutus @nicolange_ Sollten wir mehr von Japan kaufen?

Deutschland gibt Rekordsummen für Verteidigung aus – 108,2 Mrd. Euro im regulären Etat, plus Sondervermögen. Doch das System bleibt dysfunktional: „Wenn man die Strukturen nicht ändert, kommt nichts Besseres heraus.“ 🧵web.de/magazine/polit…

@jan1wesel Eine weitere Lektion :)

@Inclutus Nimmt der eine I..... noch den Lauf in die Hand?🙈🙈🙈🙈
