It seems to me from the video they produce 160 shells/day with plans to expand that to 320.

Stalin knew Barborossa was coming but he was surprised when it happened. Who could have predicted that the Germans would get into an unnecessary two-front war? (Anybody who studied German history could have predicted it.)

One take I've read is that Stalin, and everyone else really meaning Britain etc, was expecting that Germany would present somekind of ultimatum before invading and Stalin hoped that he could transform that into negotiations and strech them until it would be too late for a campaign and the USSR could then prepare for war in 1942 and he really gambled on that while rejecting advice that if acted upon could be seen as a 'provocation' by Germany. Frankly everything Stalin did on the diplomatic front from when it became clear that Britain and France weren't going to ally with the USSR against Germany was to disincentivize Germany from attacking the USSR and unfortunately many of those things are now often considered evidence that Stalin didn't really have a problem with Nazi Germany or that he was a fool.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I do get the impression it was basically a game of no one wanting to be the first to have to deal with the Nazis, quite understandably. On top of leaders openly hoping the Nazis and Communists would destroy each other.

That does seem the case and there was similar sentiments from Stalin. He did comment that the Bolshevik revolution was only made possible by the devastation, destruction and dissatisfaction of WW1 and in order for another "burst" of revolution like happened in 1917-1918 Germany, Britain and France hopefully get in a another war similar to WW1.

(26 Dec 2023) Christmas carried more than spiritual weight for many Ukrainians this year as the country newly observed it as a public holiday on Dec. 25 rather than the later date followed in Russia. (AP Video by Volodymyr Yurchuk, production by Alex Babenko)


"People don't feel that kind of joy. Of course, they feel joy because of Christmas because it's impossible not to feel the light of God in the heart. But the scale of the celebration, the nature of the celebration, has obviously changed. It's not as joyful and full of fun as before"

I too got banned for pointing out the enormous hypocrisy of splitting from Neogaf over the site runner's domestic abuse allegations only to pledge undying support to the Hong Kong protests... where the inciting incident was China wanting to prosecute murders of mainland women. Stopped visiting for years, honestly unsurprised they've graduated to blood-gargling Ukraine boosting.

Yeah. Ukraine's Air Force claims they struck it (i dunno), but the explosion and subsequent fire from yesterday are all over Russian-source video. Russian media has video and photos of chunks of the ship landed hundreds of meters from the port, though a lot of it either has been removed or is being pulled down after they broadcast it. The ship burned to below the waterline and is sitting on the port floor.

Russia is willing to admit there is some damage to the ship, not yet ready to write it off as destroyed.

post-strike photo of the ship:


Its silhouette was reasonably recognizable when still on fire, less so by morning.

I feel like they wanted to call that line Rea Life Heroes but that was already taken. Because all action figures are real life action figures. They are representations of fictional characters, but the figures themselves are undeniably in real life.

The DPP regime constantly refusing to accept the murderer who wanted to hand himself over is still one of the most morally bankrupt thing the DPP regime has ever done. Nothing matters. They literally had less moral principle than a murderer.
