There's some duplication with part 1

Thanks Don!

Similar to the attack on the Shahed assembly facility in Kazan, this attack on the chemical facility in Kamian hit an administrative building - not a big “bavovna”. But unlike Kazan, Kamian is much closer to Ukraine…

Hi, Don, thkanks for the updates, A question for both of them, there is no shrapnel seen in the remains of the TU22, could the weapon that killed it have been another?

Tu-22 is a big aircraft: a proximity-fuzing SAM might have damaged a part not shown on the photos released so far.

Not to mention that it doesn't take a lot to bring down an airplane. If something as small as a plugged up hole (https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-rot-within-the-crash-of-british-european-airways-flight-706-8fa237c79e66) can bring down a passenger airliner (which takes safety a whole lot more seriously than the military does, for obvious reasons) then surely military aircraft aren't immune to cases where a little damage in just the wrong place causes a plane to fall out of the sky..

“if you talk to Ukrainians, the Russians have the advantage. If you talk to the Russians, the Ukrainians have the advantage.”

This is just Russian mentality. Extremely proud, but at the same time cynical.

The Ukraine conflict itself can be summed up as "there is no one who hates Russians more than other Russians."

No surprise about Republicans surrendering. Gave Biden everything he wants for his forever wars and got absolutely nothing for our own border security. This is the 12-dimensional chess Republicans are famous for.

I guess that happens when Iran and Israel start exchanging missiles... suddenly, US hegemony is in grave danger and something must be done about it.
