The guy that assassinated President Garfield wrote a poem, which he requested to read aloud before his execution. It’s the most abysmal slop, possibly the worst poem ever written. He deserved to be hung just for writing it.

Women LOVE history enthusiasts! They love monologues about the Russo-Turkish Wars! They love when you diagram the battle of Plevna!

Assad has become a gamer in his retirement! He spends his days grinding Hearts of Iron and Rome: Total War. So nice!

Little love packages are visiting a variety of power plants, among them CHP-6 in Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk TPP and the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in Zaporozhye. Blackouts in Kiev, apparently.

Feels like Tomahawks being put on the table, plus the refinery strikes, were the last straw for Moscow. Putler has gone baboon mode!
Escalation dominance: Large-scale Russian drone & missile strikes this night hit thermal & hydro power plants in Kyiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kremenchuk & Kaniv & other targets. There are massive power outages in Kyiv (shown in these videos) & other cities & regions of Ukraine.

People like to make fun of Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, and rightfully so, but to me it was much funnier when they straight up awarded to the entire European Union just for existing.

The fun thing about NATO is that there’s no mechanism to expel members, so when you add a strategic liability like, say, Estonia, you’re tied to them in perpetuity unless you withdraw from NATO yourself.
BREAKING: Trump says maybe Spain should be 'thrown out' of NATO

Latest video evidence of Russian “human wave” massed meat assaults actually shows, uh, one guy alone in a field?
On 8 October, Ukrainian reconnaissance witnessed another “zombie assault” of Russian troops on the Pokrovsk front Waves of Russian infantry were across open fields, fully exposed, with no cover, no tactics, no chance to survive unseen 📹 Ukraine’s 7th Air Assault Corps

“So you marched all the way to Moscow?” “Oui.” “And you’ve occupied the city, but the Tsar won’t negotiate?” “C’est correct.” “And you’re down to 100,000 effectives?” “Oui.” “And they burned the city and there’s no food?” “Mais oui.” “Mmhmmm.”

Russian strikes over the last few weeks knocked out about 60% of Ukraine’s natural gas production. Kiev is going to have to import gas to get through the winter. https://t.co/IDIMdeqjnE

Russian strikes in recent days have wiped out more than half of Ukraine’s domestic natural gas production, likely forcing the war-battered country to spend 1.9 billion euros ($2.2 billion) on fuel...

Makes sense that we might see Russian effort shift to the southwest. Once they get across the Haichur River (which connects Pokrovs’ke and Gulyaipole) there is about a 20 mile void with no Ukraine defenses.
🇷🇺 Russia continues to redeploy forces away from southern Pokrovsk. - 90th Tank Division is now entirely south of Ivanivka-Novopavlivka - 35th, 55th, 74th, 137th Brigades redeployed from southern Pokrovsk towards Novopavlivka. - Only 15th, 30th Brigades & elements of 27th
