They’ve been trying that since winter, but maybe they are doubling down there?

Seems like the Russian counteroffensive lost its steam quickly.

Ofcourse the cops need to respond

Yes, but then there’s the matter of HOW they respond.

Yes, but I still don’t believe an anonymous caller should have this kind of weight. If it’s not anonymous however it should.
But then there should also be a possibility of the caller facing charges on an obviously false accusation.
So the caller needs to be verified before going to extremes.

Maybe this was done properly, but I was thrown off by the handcuff bit, here it’s not normal to handcuff somebody who cooperates.

OK, here it’s the other way around, you don’t normally handcuff somebody unless they are arrested.

If they enter his home, and there is no evidence of a crime, then what is the basis for the arrest?
One thing is to investigate the truth of a call, another is to act on it as if it’s verbatim truth.

How is “someone called” enough evidence to enter peoples homes and arrest them?
These officers should lose their job,

This is one of the economic indicators Russia can’t hide, and it’s not looking good.
In 2022 when they increased interest rates to 20%, they strengthened the Ruble by a lot, doubling the value of the Ruble.
But the Ruble has been declining since, and now even with nearly as high an interest rate of 19%, The Ruble is almost as low as the dramatic drop in 2022 that caused the interest hike to 20%.
This is the second time in a couple of months they increase interest rates, and combined they are a 3% increase in a short time. And the Ruble remains at a low value.

For anyone in doubt, this is a strong indicator that the Russian economy can’t handle the pressure of the war. Russian wages are losing value fast, and investments are very expensive, so a further decline in the Russian economy is likely. Especially since there is no cheap unemployed labor to draw growth from, which there normally would be in a situation of economic decline, but there is already full employment.

The Russian economy is in decline and overheating at the same time.

Oh boy, Russians are having a hissy fit.

Zelenskyj just confirmed that Russia has indeed initiated a counteroffensive in Kursk.
He even states it’s going according to what they planned.
According to DR Denmark.

Yes it looks suspiciously like that may have something to do with it.
But last I heard they were pushing pretty hard in Kherson, at the same time they continued pushing in Donetsk, so I think it’s more an overall attempt to “punish” Ukraine, than just trying to take back occupied territory in Kursk.
Obviously the Russian strategy from the start was to try to overwhelm Ukraine, then they shifted to a strategy of trying to wear them down. I’m honestly not sure the Russian even know what they are doing at this point, whatever they are trying, it seems like they are wearing themselves down more than they are Ukraine.

Ukraine was probably trying to bait Russia, and it seems to have worked, and it’s kind of funny, because it reminds me of how Harris baited Trump at the debate. The idiots can’t help themselves, they fall for it even when they know they shouldn’t.

This is very massive losses for Russia, 93 Vehicles and 73 artillery is more than 3 times average! 11 Tanks is allegedly a whole weeks supply.
And the plane alone is an SU30 worth 50 million USD.
And of course the 1270 personnel which although it’s become pretty “normal” for Russia now, is still insane and still almost twice the average for the war.

It has always impressed me tremendously that a small country of only about 8 million people, has it’s own fighter jet, and that it’s actually good!
As a child in the 70’s, I thought the Viggen was one of the coolest jet designs.
Anyways, whether it is logistically a good idea for Ukraine to get Gripen IDK, but good on Sweden to prepare for it.

I was referring to Musk claiming this a few years back. Added a /Musk for clarity.
Hinting that this is probably about as much bullshit as when Muski says “Next Year” 8 years in a row for fully autonomous driving.

PS: The Muski was a typo, but I’ll let it stand, because it’s an excellent reference to Musk being a Russian asset.

Will they be more economic than a train?

Another failed Musk psycho promise from 2017, and they still have NOTHING!

Ahead of the first debate between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, Richard Johnson explores whether the outcome will have any real impact

Well that’s impossible to say until AFTER the debate.

Seems to me that the 2nd debate between Romney and Obama tilted the election in Obama’s favor. Because Romney fucked up, and Obama clearly won the debate for anyone to see.
So these debates can have an impact, but rarely as much as that.

In 2016 Trump was an even worse loser to Hillary than Romney was to Obama. Despite that Trump prevailed, simply by using childish behavior to deflect, calling a Hillary argument “Just words” when he had no response, and then accusing her of being nasty!!! Somehow that was enough for his supporters to consider that a “job well done”!!

So even a brain dead loser like Trump can survive against superior arguments, simply by using childish “No You” arguments.
It shall be interesting to see if Harris has a working strategy in a debate Trump almost for sure will drag down to kindergarten level.

OK, I admit I misunderstood that completely.
I can see how the idea is funny, but as you acknowledge yourself, the execution needs work.

This is the most insane meat-wave yet, losing 1380 personnel, but only 1 tank! Apparently very little equipment for the Russian soldiers to support their offensive.
Allegedly the Ukrainians have stopped Russian progress in the Donetsk region towards Pokrovsk.
And 9 Russian attacks in Kherson have been averted yesterday.

Hopefully it’s the Ukrainian defense strategy that’s beginning to pay off, where Ukraine has build strength while the Russian continued their offensives exhausting themselves.

This combined with more air defense like the Iris-T from Germany, and Russia running low on missiles, will hopefully improve conditions in Ukraine.

This is absolutely horrible! Whatever will be next? 5 weeks paid holiday?!?!
This is un-American, which is why I vote Trump. 🤪😜
