Struggling in Ukraine’s East, Russian Forces Strike in Kyiv (msn.com)
Russian forces left piles of excrement in every office of the Chernobyl nuclear plant before they retreated, Ukrainian workers say (msn.com) - not so funny story to go along with that.
When I was with the JAG office in Germany (shortly after the wall came down), we got a call from the German army asking for assistance from the Corps of Engineers. It turns out that they had a bit of an issue with one of the military bases and called one of their buddies with USACE for advice.
Since the Col didn't speak German, he asked if I wanted to come along, so three of us (me, the USACE Col and a chemical warfare guy) piled into a car for a little roadtrip.
We ended up at this abandoned Soviet army base that originally was a German army base. Somewhere along the way (30+ years ago by this time) the plumbing in the barracks backed up, so instead of fixing it, they punched holes in the ground floor and used the basement as a septic tank - minus any chemicals or pumping. It was a huge barracks that held thousands of troops over those 30 years.
The smell was unbearable and there were more diseases floating around in there than were known to mankind. By this time, they had already decided to do a Chernobyl fix - basically just pumping chemicals into the basement and following that with cement. We were just invited to see the mess that the Soviets left.
Looks like they haven't changed

CSB time:
A couple years ago the S/O and I were in St. Maarten and I found out Abramovich's yacht was just offshore the same day I rented a jet ski, so I decided to try to get a little closer to see this yacht. I was expecting something large, but dear god. It was an entire cruise ship for one man. Could easily fit a couple thousand people comfortably and it was all for him and his friends.

Are they making new generals as ones die off?

How long before we start seeing T-34's roll in?
They are "fighting Nazi's" after all. Why not go period correct with the LARP?

I think they are down to those already.
With a 50-60% failure rate on missiles, they must be running low on them too.
