Russia invades Ukraine - 6 - from 7 August 2024

Choose your poison.

Hard to believe I know, but there’s some common sense coming from the GOP.

I note he doesn’t mention when. 'Cause I for one, am not sure when the orang-utan’s 24 hour peace deal begins.

Incoming.

Wow. Judge Dredd.

Holly Macron-ollie.

For the civil engineers, electricians, the linesmen and humanitarians on Blitz.

For the first time?
I didn’t know helicopters could be destroyed more than once.

No rest from the wicked.

Wishing a Kursk on Ukraine.

Check out the guns on this country.

In from the cold.

You know it, Blitz knows it, we all know it. Grrr.

Meet the Fokkers.

Doing even better than the ‘Flight Plan’.

So much respect.

Paints a grim picture overall, but there isn’t much to be optimistic about.

Apart from being predictable as all hell, this piece does little more than say the same thing 4 times over.

In the interests of fairness and to somewhat balance the scales, l have watched the three clips above. The pick of the bunch was the massed vocal performance. I have no idea of what any of the words mean, but can testify to the uplifting nature of the song. It is an inspiring performance, well worth a listen dear Blitzers.

What a glorious monster of modern warfare. This thing does it all, and what a punch it packs, truly astonishing.

Thats what i was thinking as well. Lots of young families. Regardless of the state of the ruble though they dont appear short of cash at all.

Гей, соколи! / Hej, sokoły! Hey Faclons! Ukrainian/Polish folk song

Hey, somewhere, by the Black Sea

A Cossack sits on his colt

And a young girl cries

For he rides from Ukraine.

Chorus

Hey, Hey, Hey, Falcons!

Through mountains, forests, fields, valleys,

Sound, sound, sound the bells,

My little country bird.

Pity, sorrow, because of her,

Because of Ukraine,

Pity, sorrow, my heart cries,

I’ll never see again.

Crying, Crying, my lover

My little bird

For I’m in a foreign land

My heart can not sleep.

Drink, Drink, Give to me,

If I die, bury me,

In faraway Ukraine,

Close to my girl.

A quiet day for the RUAF.
It does feel a bit strange to say that considering what they did lose, but it is all relative.
