The Czechs are in nato and have a pretty robust firearms industry, so we at least have that. Same with Bulgaria. But the good old days of pulling mosins and other fun stuff by the crateload from depots is long gone sadly. Maybe we'll get lucky and there's one that's been missed.
Buy it cheap and stack it deep, they say. I would like to believe that better things will come about someday but I dunno. At least it's not an election year or else sales would be through the roof and nothing would ever be able to be found.

Nowadays it's just a mountain of overpriced bullshit that will probably be illegal to even own a picture of in a few years. If that actually happened I'd probably leave the country.
 
Main ukrainian propagandist returned from few days of rest(?) and changed his views 180. Now he is talking about peace treaty being compromise among fighting sides. So, this shitshow probably end soon?

As a huge nerd to everything space related, what the hell does nasa and other russian space agencies have to do with this shit show? This just seems beyond unnecessary for me. All they want to do is launch rockets and stare at stars man,
there's a lot of overlap between a civilian space program and military research and development efforts related to ballistic missiles and aviation

Any military that uses a Bullpup as it's standard issue rifle is instantly Based in my book.
bullpups SUCK and look DUMB

It's not just for looking at stars, its for potential shooting stars. While SDI was bullshit you better believe being able to see and then target shit from the data satellites send from space confers a huge advantage in war.

Nah, Ukraine is totally winning and the Russian military is close to collapse, Ukraine changing its negotiating position to accept neutrality, accept it will never join NATO, give russia a veto over any foreign troops or military exercises occurring in Ukrainian territory, accept it will not attempt to reintegrate Crimea through any means other than negotiation, and agree to discuss the status of the Donbass republics, thats just an incredible display of magnanimity on Zelenskyyyyys part

Ironically, the scaremongering about nuclear makes Russia stronger as Nuclear is the only viable replacement for fossil fuels..
There is scare mongering and then there is being fucking retarded. The big two nuclear disasters, Chernobyl and Fukushima, fall under the fucking retarded category. The former for using graphite tipped control rods with no containment vessel and the latter for putting its back up generators below sea level in a tsunami zone.

That said just because nuclear energy is generally safe does not mean it's safe. You can't be cavalier with it, and if those Russian soldiers did dig trenches in the red forest without protective gear, they are dead men walking.

Was surprised to see some corn still standing, unpicked, in the field. You'd think the fields would be getting ready for planting.

At least we got Serbia to make Tokarev TT-33 copies but I dunno. At least Eastern Europe still makes AK stuff so as long as the political situation doesn't get worse there we'll at least be able to feed those.

It's probably the beginning of the end for anything firearm related east of Berlin.
There's a Kalashnikov USA that makes weapons. Not connected with the Russian Kalashnikov organization, apparently.

Remember that there isn't much difference between a rocket that launches a satellite and one that launches a nuclear warhead.
 
Oh great, now it's not only Redditors getting fucked up because they can't stay off their phones but now Chechens are in on it. Chechens are mainly LARPers with great PR though.

When are they gonna make a videogame that simulates REAL WAR and have enemy troops standing around on their phones live streaming as you aim your sniper rifle at their heads?
