Russian forces destroyed a Ukrainian ammunition depot in the Kharkov region
Thanks to Duke 7 for the link!
When you see a trend you gotta make note of it. I'm seeing a trend of the Russians systematically going after these ammo depots and they appear to be having a degree of success.Russian forces destroyed a Ukrainian ammunition depot in the Kharkov region that was used to shell the Belgorod region. pic.twitter.com/D14CLIokoX

I have to assume that the Ukrainians aren't crazy so they're running all kinds of deceptions and have dozens of smaller ammo points but it sure doesn't look that way.
Additionally the Russians seem to be getting better at locating them too.
Makes nothing but sense too. I thought the attacks against the power grid was the way to go (that's how we've done it) but we weren't up against a nation being supplied by over 30 nations.
If we were then we'd go after ammo points and fuel depots. We'd go after them hard.
You can have a million launchers/cannons but if you don't have the rounds for them then they're useless.
So I get it.
But back to attacks on the power grid. Why didn't the Russians shut down that power plant when they had control of it? Not causing a meltdown but simply shutting it down and making sure it couldn't come back online easily? Plus after all that fear mongering about another Chernobyl, we haven't heard jack about that plant for ages now.
This is weird war. Neither side seems to be pushing for victory. It's almost like everyone has fallen into the trap of the USA...perpetual war. War for the sake of war.
That is disturbing.
Which is why I would love to see China and the Non-Aligned nations making a major push at the UN to turn this thing off.
Everyone fears that Russia will rearm. SO WILL UKRAINE! But at least the dying and destruction will end (assuming a ceasefire while they talk).
The weird thing?
We've reached a point where being a cheerleader for continued warfare is the easy thing. Asking that you turn the war off will lead to ridicule. Weird war, weird times we're living in.
Redut PMC
These dudes are very low profile compared to Wagner. Kinda controversial too. Supposedly, don't know for sure, they're owned by a Finn.Members of the Redut PMC on the Avdiivka front from earlier this winter. https://t.co/S9tgmARNU5 pic.twitter.com/mXz37GSdX7

US Navy talks about "rules based international order' & "competition across the spectrum of operations". The Chinese Navy is talking about building a Navy that can beat ours...
"...defending the “rules based international order” and committed to competition across a broad spectrum of operations—while overburdened with a global mission set—the PLAN is laser-focused on building concrete warfighting capabilities..." pic.twitter.com/6HQQgx8Fqd

This makes my complaint clear.
There was once a time when the Marine Corps was simple. Close with and destroy the enemy.
Every Marine knew that. Every Marine understood that.
Today?
You get a high ranking officer to explain Force Design 2030 and it takes him 10 minutes to just get started and you better pack lunch cause its gonna be a lecture.
Force Design 2030 isn't built for Marines or the Marine Corps. It's built for policy makers and think tanks.
The problem?
Policy makers and think tanks won't have to do the fighting. A confused 18 year old will.

France's Red Warriors
The individuals listed here are the members of the "Red Warriors," a collective of French punk music enthusiasts who took it upon themselves to patrol the suburbs of Paris and confront fascist skinheads through violent means during the 1980s.

During the 1980s in Europe, there… pic.twitter.com/f06TnboRh6
"The Red Warriors emerged as one such group, originating in Paris in 1986. They were a leftist hardcore collective that actively sought out and confronted fascists during the period when the ideology was gaining traction in the region. Comprising 14 members, their initial objective was to counter what they perceived as the growing presence of fascism on the streets.Joining the Red Warriors required meeting a notably high threshold. Prospective members had to have achieved at least one championship title in their respective fighting or martial arts discipline. The Red Warriors consisted of individuals skilled in various disciplines such as kickboxing, boxing, Kung Fu, Sanshou, and more."
Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like they were re-fighting WW2 in the streets of France during the 80s.
