He grew up in that background but he is a highly educated shin bet operative who was a double agent. He knows how what he is saying will be perceived and is purposefully over the top. He repeats the same ideas wherever he speaks, I have listened to everything he has said on YouTube. The video I linked really stands out, out of it all, because most of his other stuff he is more official and shin bet like. I would love to know what drives him but I doubt it is one of the many things he says it is. I would not doubt if he is a actual paid shill for settlers now, whose ideas he promotes.

That works because Russia has shit radar defense network, I don’t think you could just fly an ultralight over a military base in most western countries without anyone scrambling something, at least not if you’re in active war. Also, those aren’t $500 drones so, while they’re still a great offensive weapon, it’s not like you’ll be swarming battlefields with thousands of them. Especially if you want actually hardened and reliable comms for them. Jamming is going to be a huge priority that isn’t trivial to overcome - it’s already an issue against Russia, and they don’t exactly lead the world in building high-tech stuff.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

Every weapon can be used against civilians. What makes a weapon likely to be considered a violation of international law is when the weapon by its nature makes civilian casualties likely. For example saren gas. It just kills everything at ground level in a certain vicinity. A drone isn't like this because its a targeted type of weapon. Perhaps if they make a drone that just automatically attacks any person it sees then yea I could see that being a war crime.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

Hey, I am a Ukrainian-American dual citizen (and a mod of /r/ukraina) to which this law directly applies. There's more nuance and absurdity to this than the article gives away. I've been living in the US since I turned 16, my whole family moved here, and I've spent most of my life in the US. I have no possessions, address, or anything left in the Ukraine. In 2022 and 2023, I traveled to Ukraine to help with the war effort. I will no longer be able to do so due to the wisdom of our lawmakers. Previously, the law granted an exemption from the draft for people who are registered as permanent residents abroad. That means de-registering in Ukraine, and registering at the consulate, with proof of residence at the corresponding state. As dual citizenship is not recognized in Ukraine, that is irrelevant. What mattered was the stamp from the consulate. That was rather sane, as there is no infrastructure abroad for people to do their military service. Until a month ago, I could NOT register for the draft even if I wanted to. Things, however, have changed. But not in a sane way. See, the new law requires me to register for the draft. But the law also stipulates that the registration takes place at the location of residence. Which, for me, is California. I would not, to my knowledge, even be able to register in Ukraine, since I do not reside there. I went to the consulate today to update my information there and clarify this, asking the consul to register me at my location of residence as the law requires, since the consulate is the only Ukrainian institution where I reside. The consul said that it's not their job, even though there's nobody else to do that job. So now me (along with all draft-eligible Ukrainian citizens permanently residing abroad) are in a Catch-22: * The law requires us to register for the draft at our location of residence * The consulates aren't doing any of that * We can't do that in Ukraine because we do not live there * If we go, we won't be allowed to leave * And on top of that, we all will be committing a crime of not registering for the draft in a few weeks (and having consular services denied). This is, of course, absurd. I have a job, a wife, and a mortgage to pay; Ukrainian citizens in Ukraine aren't losing their job and family simply to register for the draft. The most absurd part is that by giving up my Ukrainian citizenship, I would be able to go in and out of Ukraine freely. The only thing this new rule accomplishes is that I won't go to Ukraine, and will be able to help Ukraine *less when Ukraine needs help the most. That's not to mention that as math PhD with FAANG on my resume I sincerely believe that I could do more for the war effort than dig trenches. But it wouldn't even come to that. The absurd part is that I'd lose a lot (literally, all I have - home, family, job, friends) simply to register for the draft. I could spend years in Ukraine doing absolutely nothing after registering. Needless to say, I am non-plussed about these developments... but this is on par with what our government has been doing. I have written up [a lengthy blog post](https://romankogan.net/2024/04/26/the-four-failures-of-zelensky/) about the failures of Zelenskyy's admin in 2023, and I can write another, longer one about the fuckups in 2024. The only thing that's saving Ukraine in this war is that its opponent is Russia. But while Russia is learning, Ukrainian leadership seems to be degrading. I have not many good things to say at the moment.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

Ukraine war briefing: Air raid alerts follow blackouts forced by power rationing >State power operator Ukrenergo on Tuesday introduced forced electricity blackouts in several regions, including the capital, Kyiv, and frontline Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Russian missile and drone barrages, including a major attack over the weekend, have damaged Ukraine’s energy networks and stretched its air defences. >Air raid alerts were declared in several regions of Ukraine on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. All of Ukraine was put under an alert after fighter jets took off inside Russia. >Russian forces are focusing their main firepower on the eastern Donetsk region and not north-eastern Kharkiv where they launched an offensive last month, according to Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The UK Ministry of Defence said the Avdiivka-Pokrovsk sector north and west of Donetsk city “has remained the probable main effort of Russian forces over the last 72 hours”. >Ukrainian officials said eight people were wounded in Russian attacks in the central Dnipropetrovsk region and also in the eastern Kharkiv region overnight into Tuesday. The head of the southern Kherson region separately said Russian artillery fire killed an elderly woman in her yard in the village of Veletynske. Shelling injured two people in the Sumy region, the local military administration said.

I think that some of what we deem as foreign policy failures were done so that the US still had cards to play against Russia without having to resort to a direct confrontation. If they gave Ukraine the weapons and permission to strike deep into Russia (along with the sanctions) from the beginning, there wouldn't be any more cards to play against putin. I'd assume the hope was that they could possibly talk him down.

And most people who think they could do the "fuck it" decisions, can't do it when they are held accountable by it.

[Ukrainian Intelligence Behind Hacks on Russian Companies, Institutions \| Kyiv Post \| June 2024](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/33821) Kyiv Post's sources in Ukraine's Military Intelligence stated that HUR was responsible for a series of cyberattacks against multiple Russian state institutions and private companies, leading to widespread service disruptions in Russia. As of 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 5, electronic services to numerous Russian government services, including its state services website and numerous ministries, reportedly became inaccessible. Locals also complained that weddings were being canceled, as reported by Ukrainska Pravda, citing sources from HUR. Customers of Russia’s Alfa Bank and Sberbank also reported issues accessing banking services, according to Down Detector, a site that reports service outages. However, the banks’ websites remain accessible. Operations of United Aircraft Company (UAC), Russia’s plane manufacturer that produces its Su-57 stealth fighters, are also reportedly affected. UAC’s website remains inaccessible at the time of publication. Moscow’s communication agency Roskomnadzor said “an accident of the main communication network” was to blame, but a source from HUR has confirmed to Kyiv Post that it was behind the latest cyberattacks by utilizing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a tactic that overwhelms the servers with false requests. A Russian news outlet also reported on Monday, June 3, that its Federal Customs Service encountered a DDoS attack, though it said services had been restored as of Monday afternoon. Ukrainska Pravda also reported that “the website and services of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation are blocked,” though the website has likely been restored at the time of this publication. However, the exact extent of HUR’s cyber operations, including when it started, is not immediately clear. In early May, HUR launched a large-scale cyberattack on internet providers and mobile operators in Russia’s Tatarstan, where a number of Russian defense manufacturers are located.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

[Canadian armored vehicle manufacturer Roshel to invest millions of dollars in plant in Ukraine \| EuroMaidenPress \| June 2024](https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/06/05/canadian-armored-vehicle-manufacturer-roshel-to-invest-millions-of-dollars-in-plant-in-ukraine/) Roshel, a Canadian producer of armored vehicles, plans to invest tens of millions of dollars in its plant in Ukraine and even bring back some Ukrainian migrants from Canada to work in it, as per Ukrainska Pravda. The company’s CEO, Roman Shimonov, believes that the future plant will not only compete with local manufacturers in the Ukrainian market but also sell armored vehicles to Europe, thereby bringing foreign currency into Ukraine. Roman Shimonov lived in Israel and served in the military before moving to Canada 12 years ago. In 2016, he founded the Roshel company, which sells armored vehicles. The new manufacturer quickly established a presence in the US market with clients such as the Texas police, the US State Department, the Customs and Border Protection, and even NASA. The space agency needed armored vehicles to protect their astronauts, and technology was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The company has clients from Canada, Israel, and several multinational corporations. Until 2022, Roshel produced 1,200 vehicles annually. Now, it plans to increase production to 2,000. There is also a huge demand for armored vehicles in the Ukrainian Defense Forces. They are used for medical evacuation, personnel transportation, cargo delivery, and even assaults. At the beginning of the large-scale war, the Canadian government bought the first eight vehicles for Ukrainians. Later, the Czech Republic funded the purchase of another 70 units. Currently, Roshel’s factories assemble 140 armored vehicles monthly, half of which are sent to Ukraine. By the end of May 2024, 1,140 armored vehicles have already been delivered. After the war, Ukraine will become a central player in the region and attract investments. Shimonov noted that companies that can establish themselves in the country will become highly competitive in the European market.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

If it makes you feel any better, something to consider is Jordan likely didn't unduly profit by a whole lot, considering the limited information provided. Jordan sold them for 110 million. Global Military Products was contracted by the U.S. for 118 million for the delivery and supply of the 60 guns. I think it's safe to presume that a good chunk of the supply is for the ammunition, which isn't cheap and a full load can be expended rather quickly. Considering the ammo is made in Switzerland and they have third-party export bands in their contracts. That makes the available supply of ammo somewhat limited. The weapon system without an abundant supply of ammo doesn't do Ukraine much good. Overall, all things considered, seems like a bargain really.

Some people don't seem to realize Ukraine now exists in the same position as Israel does (Living next to millions of deranged terrorists who's only goal in life is to kill them). So, either Ukraine gets under nuclear umbrella or develops it's own nukes (Like Israel did). Ukraine also has a LOT of experience with nuclear technology (and material itself) so this can be done in just a few years (3~6).	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

He grew up in that background but he is a highly educated shin bet operative who was a double agent. He knows how what he is saying will be perceived and is purposefully over the top. He repeats the same ideas wherever he speaks, I have listened to everything he has said on YouTube. The video I linked really stands out, out of it all, because most of his other stuff he is more official and shin bet like. I would love to know what drives him but I doubt it is one of the many things he says it is. I would not doubt if he is a actual paid shill for settlers now, whose ideas he promotes. I don't doubt many or most aspects of his public story but there is more to him.

That works because Russia has shit radar defense network, I don’t think you could just fly an ultralight over a military base in most western countries without anyone scrambling something, at least not if you’re in active war. Also, those aren’t $500 drones so, while they’re still a great offensive weapon, it’s not like you’ll be swarming battlefields with thousands of them. Especially if you want actually hardened and reliable comms for them. Jamming is going to be a huge priority that isn’t trivial to overcome - it’s already an issue against Russia, and they don’t exactly lead the world in building high-tech stuff.

Every weapon can be used against civilians. What makes a weapon likely to be considered a violation of international law is when the weapon by its nature makes civilian casualties likely. For example saren gas. It just kills everything at ground level in a certain vicinity. A drone isn't like this because its a targeted type of weapon. Perhaps if they make a drone that just automatically attacks any person it sees then yea I could see that being a war crime.

This is why we won't see Western jets in Ukraine soon as they will be shot down minutes after entering ukr airspace (they can't be based in ukr). Same with Russian jets. Sandal-clad Houthis are shooting down Predators, likely with Russian "advisors". From now on in any real war involving real militaries, large drones, tanks, ships and jets are obsolete. Only submarines, missiles, arty, small drones and boots on the ground will work. How things have changed in a year.

Hey, I am a Ukrainian-American dual citizen (and a mod of /r/ukraina) to which this law directly applies. There's more nuance and absurdity to this than the article gives away. I've been living in the US since I turned 16, my whole family moved here, and I've spent most of my life in the US. I have no possessions, address, or anything left in the Ukraine. In 2022 and 2023, I traveled to Ukraine to help with the war effort. I will no longer be able to do so due to the wisdom of our lawmakers. Previously, the law granted an exemption from the draft for people who are **registered as permanent residents abroad**. That means de-registering in Ukraine, and registering at the consulate, with proof of residence at the corresponding state. As dual citizenship is not recognized in Ukraine, that is irrelevant. What mattered was the **stamp** from the consulate. That was rather sane, as there is no infrastructure abroad for people to do their military service. Until a month ago, I **could NOT register** for the draft **even if I wanted to**. Things, however, have changed. But not in a sane way. See, the new law **requires** me to register for the draft. But the law also stipulates that the registration takes place **at the location of residence**. Which, for me, is California. I would **not**, to my knowledge, even be *able* to register in Ukraine, **since I do not reside there**. I went to the consulate today to update my information there and clarify this, asking the consul to register me **at my location of residence** as the law requires, since the consulate is the only Ukrainian institution where I reside. The consul said that it's not their job, even though *there's nobody else to do that job*. So now me (along with **all draft-eligible Ukrainian citizens permanently residing abroad**) are in a Catch-22: * The law requires us to register for the draft *at our location of residence* * The consulates aren't doing any of that * We can't do that in Ukraine **because we do not live there** * If we go, we won't be allowed to leave * And on top of that, we all will be committing a crime of not registering for the draft in a few weeks (and having consular services denied). This is, of course, absurd. I have a job, a wife, and a mortgage to pay; Ukrainian citizens *in Ukraine* aren't losing their job and family simply to **register for the draft**. The most absurd part is that by giving up my Ukrainian citizenship, I would be able to go in and out of Ukraine freely. The only thing this new rule accomplishes is that I **won't go to Ukraine**, and will be able to help Ukraine **less* when Ukraine needs help the most. That's not to mention that as math PhD with FAANG on my resume I sincerely believe that I could do more for the war effort than dig trenches. But it wouldn't even come to that. The absurd part is that I'd lose a lot (literally, all I have - home, family, job, friends) simply to **register** for the draft. I could spend years in Ukraine doing absolutely nothing after registering. Needless to say, I am non-plussed about these developments... but this is on par with what our government has been doing. I have written up [a lengthy blog post](https://romankogan.net/2024/04/26/the-four-failures-of-zelensky/) about the failures of Zelenskyy's admin **in 2023**, and I can write another, longer one about the fuckups in 2024. The only thing that's saving Ukraine in this war is that its opponent is Russia. But while Russia is learning, Ukrainian leadership seems to be degrading. I have not many good things to say at the moment.

Ukraine war briefing: Air raid alerts follow blackouts forced by power rationing >State power operator Ukrenergo on Tuesday introduced forced electricity blackouts in several regions, including the capital, Kyiv, and frontline Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Russian missile and drone barrages, including a major attack over the weekend, have damaged Ukraine’s energy networks and stretched its air defences. >Air raid alerts were declared in several regions of Ukraine on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. All of Ukraine was put under an alert after fighter jets took off inside Russia. >Russian forces are focusing their main firepower on the eastern Donetsk region and not north-eastern Kharkiv where they launched an offensive last month, according to Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The UK Ministry of Defence said the Avdiivka-Pokrovsk sector north and west of Donetsk city “has remained the probable main effort of Russian forces over the last 72 hours”. >Ukrainian officials said eight people were wounded in Russian attacks in the central Dnipropetrovsk region and also in the eastern Kharkiv region overnight into Tuesday. The head of the southern Kherson region separately said Russian artillery fire killed an elderly woman in her yard in the village of Veletynske. Shelling injured two people in the Sumy region, the local military administration said.

I think that some of what we deem as foreign policy failures were done so that the US still had cards to play against Russia without having to resort to a direct confrontation. If they gave Ukraine the weapons and permission to strike deep into Russia (along with the sanctions) from the beginning, there wouldn't be any more cards to play against putin. I'd assume the hope was that they could possibly talk him down. I'm not saying that I agree with that plan, especially with the advantage of hindsight, but I can understand the thought process

And most people who think they could do the "fuck it" decisions, can't do it when they are held accountable by it. I've seen it many times: people who constantly preach how bad and stupid the bosses are, but when presented with some responsible task they can't make any decisions because they are worried about is it a right one or not, worried will they be blamed if they choose wrong. When I've talked about this with some of those people and I've suggested them to pursue a career in politics. If you know what is the absolute right answer for this problem, why are you shouting it week after week here in our office's coffee room instead of going into politics? Usually they get mad, and tell me how I don't know anything about anything. I'm just a clown for wondering why the best decision makers of our time are shouting wise words in the coffee room.

The guy is a consummate prick. The fact that Trump has been found guilty and he’s trying to rally the supreme court to counter says everything that needs to be said. He only cares about himself.

So from Russian state media about interviews with putin. ( Yep everything deluded as usual ) >A representative of the German DPA tried to escalate the situation and asked whether Putin threatened Olaf Scholz because of Berlin's supply of weapons to Kyiv. “This is bad manners,” the president replied. Russia does not resort to intimidation. After this, we had to again arrange a historical excursion, recalling the main milestones of the Ukrainian conflict, fueled for years by both the United States and Europe, the UN Charter and many other things that have been said many times before. >There was also a question about Russia’s “imperial ambitions” - from a Frenchman. Putin rejected both speculation about “imperialism” and regular accusations that Russia was allegedly going to attack NATO - he called the authors of such statements “dumb as a table.”

[Ukrainian Intelligence Behind Hacks on Russian Companies, Institutions | Kyiv Post | June 2024](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/33821) *Kyiv Post's sources in Ukraine's Military Intelligence stated that HUR was responsible for a series of cyberattacks against multiple Russian state institutions and private companies, leading to widespread service disruptions in Russia.* *As of 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 5, electronic services to numerous Russian government services, including its state services website and numerous ministries, reportedly became inaccessible. Locals also complained that weddings were being canceled, as reported by Ukrainska Pravda, citing sources from HUR.* *Customers of Russia’s Alfa Bank and Sberbank also reported issues accessing banking services, according to Down Detector, a site that reports service outages. However, the banks’ websites remain accessible.* *Operations of United Aircraft Company (UAC), Russia’s plane manufacturer that produces its Su-57 stealth fighters, are also reportedly affected. UAC’s website remains inaccessible at the time of publication.* *Moscow’s communication agency Roskomnadzor said “an accident of the main communication network” was to blame, but a source from HUR has confirmed to Kyiv Post that it was behind the latest cyberattacks by utilizing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a tactic that overwhelms the servers with false requests.* *A Russian news outlet also reported on Monday, June 3, that its Federal Customs Service encountered a DDoS attack, though it said services had been restored as of Monday afternoon.* *Ukrainska Pravda also reported that “the website and services of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation are blocked,” though the website has likely been restored at the time of this publication.* *However, the exact extent of HUR’s cyber operations, including when it started, is not immediately clear.* *In early May, HUR launched a large-scale cyberattack on internet providers and mobile operators in Russia’s Tatarstan, where a number of Russian defense manufacturers are located.*

[Canadian armored vehicle manufacturer Roshel to invest millions of dollars in plant in Ukraine | EuroMaidenPress | June 2024](https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/06/05/canadian-armored-vehicle-manufacturer-roshel-to-invest-millions-of-dollars-in-plant-in-ukraine/) *Roshel, a Canadian producer of armored vehicles, plans to invest tens of millions of dollars in its plant in Ukraine and even bring back some Ukrainian migrants from Canada to work in it, as per Ukrainska Pravda.* *The company’s CEO, Roman Shimonov, believes that the future plant will not only compete with local manufacturers in the Ukrainian market but also sell armored vehicles to Europe, thereby bringing foreign currency into Ukraine.* *Roman Shimonov lived in Israel and served in the military before moving to Canada 12 years ago. In 2016, he founded the Roshel company, which sells armored vehicles. The new manufacturer quickly established a presence in the US market with clients such as the Texas police, the US State Department, the Customs and Border Protection, and even NASA. The space agency needed armored vehicles to protect their astronauts, and technology was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.* *The company has clients from Canada, Israel, and several multinational corporations. Until 2022, Roshel produced 1,200 vehicles annually. Now, it plans to increase production to 2,000.* *There is also a huge demand for armored vehicles in the Ukrainian Defense Forces. They are used for medical evacuation, personnel transportation, cargo delivery, and even assaults.* *At the beginning of the large-scale war, the Canadian government bought the first eight vehicles for Ukrainians. Later, the Czech Republic funded the purchase of another 70 units.* *Currently, Roshel’s factories assemble 140 armored vehicles monthly, half of which are sent to Ukraine. By the end of May 2024, 1,140 armored vehicles have already been delivered.* *After the war, Ukraine will become a central player in the region and attract investments. Shimonov noted that companies that can establish themselves in the country will become highly competitive in the European market.*

If it makes you feel any better, something to consider is Jordan likely didn't unduly profit by a whole lot, considering the limited information provided. Jordan sold them for 110 million. Global Military Products was contracted by the U.S. for 118 million for the delivery and *supply* of the 60 guns. I think it's safe to presume that a good chunk of the supply is for the ammunition, which isn't cheap and a full load can be expended rather quickly. Considering the ammo is made in Switzerland and they have third-party export bands in their contracts. That makes the available supply of ammo somewhat limited. The weapon system without an abundant supply of ammo doesn't do Ukraine much good. Overall, all things considered, seems like a bargain really. Thanks Jordan. 😎👍

More the former in this case. A lot of their newer production/ refurbishment is being sent to reinforce Kharkiv so the East and South aren't as confident they will get replacements for their losses soon.

The issue with this is that it likely also involves higher Ukrainian casualties that we are simply not seeing......especially over last two months when they were being munitions contrained due to the deadlock in America. Nontheless the equipment numbers have continued to be outstanding over the last weeks.

Fwiw I think Putin effectively gets three mechanised armies. - the one he started with. - the quickly refurbished kit (plenty of T-62s, T-80BVs) - less quickly refurbished kit (older T-72s, other T-80 variants). I'm waiting to see new satellite imagery but I think there are hints russia is digging into the third army, some T-80UDs were removed etc.

Not OP but that gets mixed in with the refurbished stuff to augment the power a bit. At least, that's what they have been doing since the start of the war.

Toyotas are fantastic cars still. Issues like this happen. As a car nerd I'd still take Toyota or Honda over any other offering for a normal daily driver.

> Ukraine will eventually get into NATO And if it doesn't, nuclearization it is then. Ukraine *will* be safe after the war one way or the other. Some people don't seem to realize Ukraine now exists in the same position as Israel does (Living next to millions of deranged terrorists who's only goal in life is to kill them). So, either Ukraine gets under nuclear umbrella or develops it's own nukes (Like Israel did). Ukraine also has a LOT of experience with nuclear technology (and material itself) so this can be done in just a few years (3~6).
