Russia Invades Ukraine pt XIV

[TIDE-HSV]

At what point does it become treason?

Because the Constitution:

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

And the SCOTUS has decided we must also be in a declared war...

Its unfortunate it has to be in a declared war state. We have way too many power brokers playing in this gray area...

Ooh, the Ukrainians are clever!

And so it begins… TM-62 landmines modified with grenade fuses, being dropped from Ukrainian drones.

Drone delivery system for a TM-62 mine with a grenade fuse. That is 7kg (~15 pounds) of explosives...

excuse my ignorance, does this mean they are dropping mines they have cleared and using them to drop on the russians? If so how delightful. If not still a very clever idea.

Gosh darn it. You just hate to see it.

That is exactly what the Ukrainians are doing.
"Hey, Russia, you want to distribute millions of land mines? Thanks. We need the explosives."

Heh, heh. You just bend the grenade spoon out of the way and screw the fuze into the mine's fuze well. Nice.

So the USA is helping finance a war that one of its citizens, Musk, is working against.

Sorta, but not really?

Clarification from the author:

Here's Tom Cooper's latest take, with his usual detail. One minor irritant - he still talks about NATO as if it were a separate entity, with its own weapons, and he says that the US is literally sitting a thousand Patriot launchers they could send...

Those are truly staggering figures. Russia invaded on February 24, 2022 or 565 days ago, so they are losing a ton everyday. The 270,000 troops averages out to 477.5/day.

Wonder if a 1:5 death to casualty ratio is in the typical range.

Putin is acting as if he has an unlimited manpower pool. Demographics says he doesn't. He's endangering future generation, squandering fertility, as it were...

I glanced on wiki at ours and Canada’s ww2 deaths and casualties, and it implied the Kia rate was much higher. Like 2 Kia vs 3 wounded.

So how are you guys interpreting this info? Are there far fewer than 270,000 Russian casualties, or could the Russians have a 1:5 death to casualty ratio?
