Well we can hope. But Kiev is losing and their only realistic chance of remaining in power is NATO troops getting directly and openly involved. And the only way of making that happen to them is to provoke Russia to escalate in some way that demands it. And to do that, you put a missile in a civilian area. Which they've done before.

However, keep in mind that these missiles require targeting information from us and use our satellites and GPS and codes. It's possible I'm wrong but I think they depend on our support to actually use them. Meaning Russia will - probably rightly - blame us if one does go plonking down in a busy marketplace.

Keef is losing at a glacial pace, it's been like six weeks since Pokrovsk was a few days from falling which would obviously hand Russia total victory according to all the internet experts. Russia is advancing like 1/4 km a week, sometimes not even that, on the front it is putting the most effort into... which isn't a pace that is worrying anyone in Keef or London or DC

Those howitzers and missile launchers we gave Ukraine have always been using real-time American military satellite data for targeting and Putin hasn't done shit. He does not want a few hundred American planes showing up in the skies over southern and eastern Ukraine because he decided to directly attack American assets. It's been like three months and those F-16s Keef got that are kinda sorta but not really updated to almost modern tech have suffered like one loss that wasn't even from Russian fire. Putin doesn't want to be dealing with fully modernized American F-15s and -16s and -35s zooming around

Putin isn't going to risk committing acts of war against the United States over a few warehouses in Voronezh and Rostov-on-Don getting blowed up

Plus I don't even think you'll see as many warehouses get blown up either.

I do not think the Russians have been shy in their hinting that the Global Positioning Satellite system is the first thing taken out if we get to real conflict between the two peer-states.

I mean people also do forget the Russians and Chinese have their own version of the GPS system now online.

@IrishGuy088 - the Russians knocking out GPS is a two-edged sword. They also use it, as well as their own system, called GLONASS. Have seen Russian receivers that can pick up both. And if GPS is gone, so goes GLONASS. Not to worry, the USAF had been navigating the skies without GPS for many years before GPS came along.

Oh yes, I am not so much considering as a strike against the military but a strike that will inconvenience the public, which will put pressure on the government. Speaking of double-edged swords though, it could embolden Americans to want to attack Russia further.

Shitty situation. Can someone push Zelensky off a roof already?

In a real conventional US-ChinaRussia war both sides are going to be navigating by compass and taking star sightings and shit after the first week, they'd both fuck the shit out of each other's satellites asap

Minnesota Election Judge Charged After Allegedly Accepting Unregistered Votes

OAN Staff Abril Elfi
11:22 AM – Sunday, November 17, 2024

A Minnesota election judge has been charged after allegedly accepting unregistered votes in Hubbard County.

According to a report by Fox 9, Timothy Micheaal Scouton, who served as the head election judge for the Badoura Township Precinct in Hubbard County, Minnesota has been charged for allegedly accepting 11 unregistered votes.

Scouton was arrested by the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office and is being charged with one count of accepting the vote of an unregistered and one count of neglect of duty by an election official.

According to the police, an election auditor informed them that 11 voters had not filled out the required registration forms, but they were still permitted to cast their ballots even though they were unable to complete the forms that verify their identities.

The report stated that Scouton reportedly finished his election judge and head election judge training in July, but those votes were still permitted.

On the eve of the election, authorities spoke with another judge who collaborated with Scouton. The judge told police that Scouton told her not to use the correct registration forms.

Another judge who collaborated with Scouton told police that she was told to have voters sign the back of a book by Scouton because she did not know the correct forms.

The Minnesota Secretary of State said that the charges against Scouton were “very serious.”
“These allegations are extremely serious and must be fully and thoroughly investigated,” the Secretary of State’s office said in a statement to Fox 9. “Election judges take an oath to administer elections in accordance with the law, a deliberate failure to do so is unlawful and a betrayal of the public trust. Minnesota’s elections rely on the dedication and public service of 30,000 people and they are required to conduct their work fairly, impartially, and within the letter of the law. The Hubbard County Auditor took prompt and correct action in notifying local authorities of the uncovered discrepancies so they could investigate.”
