Greetings and Salutations!
WOW!
Weather changed and the ole hands crinkled and wrinkled up like witches claws! The ‘thritis kicked my ass over the past couple of days, hence not typing at all. The VA gave me a bunch of different ‘things’ to take but none of them seem to work (Big Pharma right?) sao I just sort of set back and dealt with it.
Then I had 2 days of a really sore throat, like I’d gargled broken glass. I know where that came from. When I went down to GunGirl’s store to pick up my lower, there was this really gross hacking-and-wheezing FAT (and when I call someone fat… man this guy made me look fucking positively svelte!) anyways… fat motherfucker was hackin’ and being all gross…
I figured to stay away from him…
But NOOOOOOOOOO
When I sat at the little table she’s got set up to fill out the 4473, this monstrosity plopped down right next to me… and not to fill out a form but b/c it was the only other chair available I guess…
SO I ended up with just a touch of whatever nastiness he was handing out… Go figure. I’m feeling better now… It just hurts if I gab too much.
Then… let’s see… LOTS going on out in the world. The Niggerian Christian thing? OrangeManBad making heap big smoke about it? No worries IMO… I’d call it performative. We –might– drop a bomb or two but I’d say this was more of a public warning than anything else. Lat year the US supplied a combined (military and humanitarian aid) of about $876 million in aid to Niggeria. (and yes, intentional misspelling).
I think this was a warning to the current crop of Kleptocrats there to start actually using some of the $$$ we’ve been supplying or we’ll drop a few bombs, declare victory, and cut off the $$$ faucet. “Start doing something or we will.” It looks good to the base of Christians who support the Orange Retard.
Then: The Krain.
Whooo boy. Ivan is on a tear over there.
LOTS of territory gained in the opening of the Rasputitsia.
And a couple of ‘strange things’ that happened recently… specifically how a group of GRU Krainian Special Forces guys got wasted on a really strange mission…
On November 1st it was announced that, earlier in the week, late at night two Krainian UH-60A Black Hawk helicopters in the northwest of Pokrovsk, were videoed arriving at extremely low altitude. According to multiple sources, The objective was supposedly to assist with a break through the Russian encirclement of the highway to Grishino.

This pic was given out on November 1st by the Krainians. It was taken by the other UH-60. Some say it was leaked, but either way… it doesn’t matter as according to ALL sources the 11 or 12 man team was smoked within hours of landing. ALL of them were KIA or wounded so badly as to be as good as dead, thanks to Thermal Drones that seeked them out and smoked them.
The problem with this ‘supposed mission’ and why I call bullshit?
There were only 11/12 guys sent. (Actual numbers are sketchy)
There’s only 10 visible in the pic, fanning out the way we were taught to do back int he day… which also raises some questions…
This was not even a full team.
This was like a light squad at best.
A wee bit light on the firepower to ‘open up’ an encirclement wouldn’t you say? An encirclement that’s hundreds of kilometers in the overall scheme of things, filled with hundreds, if not thousands of Russkies coming in for the kill?

(H/T Simplicius)
Now… there are other oddities about this mission… which calls into question the actual mission, and such. I have a few theories. The BIG One is that I think this was supposed to be an evacuation of Higher Ranking NATO folks. They sent two birds and ALL of the guys who put boots on the ground were on the first and only bird to land.
So why have an empty bird with them?
Not gun support… that’s for sure.
They would have had a HIND.
Plus: Where they landed?

(again H/T Simplicius)
That’s a wee bit too far west to do any good regarding breaking the encirclement or even the highway.
But, if you notice, it IS very close to a small holdout area of Pokrovsk… Which makes me think this’s very much like what they tried to do back a year or two ago at the Azovstal steel plant siege in Mariupol in 2022. Then the ‘Krainian Special Forces’ attempted to evacuate some Command and Control NATO personnel supposedly. The attempt was foiled then as this one was now… The reason I use quotes is that even then, the troops who went in after the fact were suspected of being US or NATO troops… and after that failure… well…
Lets just say I found it suspicious that an AUstralian General and his staff died in a small aircraft accident in the Outback within a month or so… and that a US General died somewhere around the same time…
Never mind the various Special OPs kids… Navy SEALs ‘drowning’ during training or MARSOC Recon guys dying in Helo accidents during “training”…
I’m watching now to see if anyone comes up on the ‘BINGO’ board from out team(s) as the reason I suspect US or NATO Troops use and fuckery?
The footage of the dismount is purely US ingrained Air Assault tactics… then, the way the team split up… My understanding is as soon as the Blackhawks left, the Drones went hunting… which means they could be heard. The Krainians, having tons of experience with drones know to completely spread out and get deep undercover. The videos I’ve seen of these teams?
They scattered, but stayed with their battle buddies.
Like US Troops are taught.
Experienced Krainian SF troops would have boltered in multiple directions. Usually individually. If only to allow the others to continue the mission. Instead they reacted (IMO) like noobz. Clustered, and didn’t make use of any of the ‘stuff’ that even the normal Krainian troops do when night drones start prowling, like stop moving and cover up with thermal-proof covers and shells…
Then, after some getting trapped in a Gas Station, three of them got hit with multiple drones until they were obviously eliminated. The reason I say obviously was the pieces parts of the last drone sent in was a giveaway. I mean they were scattered and splattered per the vid I saw on telegram.
My thoughts are they went in and were supposed to rendezvous and extract a group of NATO/US/Brit ‘advisors’ and got hemmed up by landing smack-dab in the middle of “Drone Central”. And since #ourguys don’t have like any IRL experience being hunted by drones, they didn’t know how to react, and paid the price.
I mean why else would a single 11/12 man team be inserted? They sure as Hell are not going to ‘re-open’ any sort of encirclement. What’s more? Pokrovsk has acted as the logistical hub and rear operations base for Ukraine’s eastern defensive lines. It sits astride both a key railroad juncture and the highway to Ukraine’s fourth-largest metro, Dnipro.
Which means it probably has a significant Command and Control presence. And C&C in this war for the most part has ALL be run by on-the-site- NATO or US Occifers… so my wild ass guess? Someone important got hemmed up behind enemy lines and needed their balls pulled out of the fire again…
Meh
I know… just guessing but I mean why else send in 2 x birds, and only one team? A light team no less. It does show that they’re getting desperate again to use up some of their best troops for whatever the reason actually was…
Then here on the home front?
Nada
Bupkiss
All’s Quiet on the EBT Front
Interesting that.
Not sure if it’s good news or bad news.
Meh
This weekend however I have some interesting news. I got an email from GOVX which is a group that gets you ‘supposedly great deals’ on tickets and flights and vaykays and whatnot… This one caught my eye. A cruise this coming weekend that was “free”…
Now we all know that there’s no such thing as a free lunch BUT I went to see. Turns out that yep. The room itself is a feebie. The only thing I needed to pay were the tax/port fees, which came out to $240.
So this weekend I’m off to Nassau I guess…

Why not?
The reviews are either “Loved it!” or “Hated it!”
Guess I’ll have to find out for myself. At least a Chimpout might happen and THAT would be some great blog-fodder right? There will be no blogging however as the add-on to get the WiFi is filed under ‘retardedly expensive’ so any and all Shaniquannigans will have to wait until I’m back.
And yeah yeah yeah… I AM packing in the ‘living’ right now as it may be a “Avē Imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant” sort of time in the near future, so I’m going to not waste a moment… I mean why the fuck worry so much as to cower in the corner worrying about “what ifs?” I mean every. man’s. time. will. come.
I’m going to enjoy what time I have here in this realm on Whammenz Wine and Song… to do otherwise would be lame.
Maybe I’ll do a rifle raffle to raise money for my drinks on board? They tend to get pricey AF fast. Heck… if I raise enough I’ll be able to get the WiFi? I did end up with an extra AR after all… What say you?
So More Later
