Random acts of crime....

Late Open Comments Post. 18 June 22

Iranian forces are conducting operations in Turkey to capture Israeli citizens?

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the first time announced the figures of losses of the Armed Forces in equipment during the war. "We lost about 50%."

This explains alot. First we can assume that the losses are greater than 50%. I'd guess around 75%. Second it explains the breathless begging from Zelensky that we get every few weeks and also why the Pentagon is jumping thru its ass to shed gear to get it over there.

My prediction?

This war is being extended.  If it lasts thru the winter, Europe is gonna be in trouble.  Russia has already cut gas.  Lack of energy in the summer is extremely uncomfortable.  In the winter it can be deadly.

Expect military forces all over Europe to start prepping centers for people to stay warm.

They appear to be coming together nicely. Very nicely.

Question. Everyone cheered the Ukrainian "tractor brigade" but didn't their actions make them combatants and targetable?

I've been wondering about this. Remember earlier in the war when the "tractor brigade" was all the rage? Didn't their actions make them targetable? By towing away wrecked enemy equipment to be used by their forces doesn't that make them part of the war effort by the convention?
