Heh a Desert Fox indeed...

Um,

A political sex scandal involving US President Bill Clinton and 24-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky took place in 1998.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) carried out an aerial bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The air strikes lasted from 24 March 1999 to 10 June 1999.

Um,

The 1998 bombing of Iraq (code-named Operation Desert Fox) was a major four-day bombing campaign on Iraqi targets from 16 to 19 December 1998

Some critics of the Clinton administration, including Republican members of Congress, expressed concern over the timing of Operation Desert Fox. The four-day bombing campaign occurred at the same time the U.S. House of Representatives was conducting the impeachment hearing of President Clinton. Clinton was impeached by the House on 19 December, the last day of the bombing campaign. A few months earlier, similar criticism was levelled during Operation Infinite Reach, wherein missile strikes were ordered against suspected terrorist bases in Sudan and Afghanistan, on 20 August. The missile strikes began three days after Clinton was called to testify before a grand jury during the Lewinsky scandal and his subsequent nationally televised address later that evening in which Clinton admitted having an inappropriate relationship.

The Operation Infinite Reach attacks became known as "Monica's War" among TV news people, due to the timing. ABC-TV announced to all stations that there would be a special report following Lewinsky's testimony before Congress, then the special report was pre-empted by the report of the missile attacks. The combination of the timing of that attack and Operation Desert Fox led to accusations of a Wag the Dog situation. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs published an article accused Clinton of bombing Iraq to distract from Lewinsky's testimony. This led to speculation that Clinton aide Huma Abedin may have had a role in accusing Clinton of bombing Iraq due to her working there at the time.

Heh "Infinite Reach"

Um,

Turns out it wasn't 1997, it was 1998:

Oryx Updated their lost equipment/vehicles list recently.



Apparently he's busy adding a lot of Ukrainian losses to the list atm as well.

Whilst completely ignoring the 10+ MiG-29s destroyed by a Russian airstrike earlier in the war.

Given this guy's allegiances, I wonder if he's actually a Turkish TB-2 salesman in disguise . . .

In other news:

I have found the victory parade music which the Russians will play when they win this war (next week?)

Heard the Russians talking about it on one of the frequencies @Zachowon mentioned earlier.

Play at 1.25x speed for desired effect, said one of them.

Well, if nothing else at least this twit is outing herself as the jackass that she is. Hannah Jones, founder of the “1619 project” and one of the primary founders of critical race theory.

Nikole Hannah-Jones mocked for claiming Europe 'not a continent,' calling Ukraine alarm a racial 'dog whistle'

Nikole Hannah-Jones was mocked by critics for falsely claiming that Europe was "not a continent," and that concerns over the invasion of Ukraine amounted to a racial "dog whistle."

This whole mess is about oil and always has been.

Did somebody say oil?

Tens of thousands of Yemenies, killed by Saudi bombs and Saudi blockade (with considerable help from USA) would disagree, but they can't because they are dead. Saudi Arabia has several times higher kill count than Russia, but the world is OK with it because they own shares in MSM.

Meh.
Saudis bad, but lets forget of Iran and their Houthi proxies firing ballistic missiles everywhere.

This shit with the world financial system weaponization is too much, it will bite the EUUSASSR in the ass, IMO.

This is a silver lining to all the awfulness, the globalist gordian knot is quite literally cutting itself.

The competing financial system that emerges from this conflict will permanently damage the ability of the West to dictate financial terms on the rest of the world.

 

[Whitestrake Pelinal]

That is rich considering all the shit that happened under the Czars, Stalin and all the brush wars Russia engaged in during the 20th Century.

The blood others spill does not exonerate us for the blood we spill. Particularly in the post-USSR world where the United States and our allies pretty much had the run of the planet. We had the opportunity to make things different, and what did we do with it? Bomb Belgrade, get a million Iraqis killed and create ISIS, kill tens of thousands more in other brush wars, and spend twenty years killing Afghanis to replace the Taliban with.. the Taliban.

"Russian soldiers massacre individuals who have forfeited their non-combatant status by throwing molotovs at combatants"
I'm sure the long tail part will not be replaced by "civilians" when the news hit and videos go viral.

Truth is the first casualty of war and this one proves it far more than most. The utterly blatant storm of lies and psyops by the West is incredible.

The proper murikah term is IIRC 'insurgents', applicable to anyone in damage range.

Vladimir Putin's honorary Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do has been revoked by World Tae Kwon Do a day after the International Judo Federation announced Putin's removal as Honorary President and Ambassador of their Federation.

Vladimir Putin's Black Belt Revoked by International Taekwondo Organization

Vladimir Putin, a self-admitted judo connoisseur, had his honorary title suspended one day after another martial arts organization revoked his status.

www.newsweek.com

No doubt he finds this very disconcerting though he is a legitimate Judo Black Belt, so maybe his heart skipped a beat with being uncoupled from them.

They may be able to take away his Tae Kwon Do belt, but they will never be able to take away his isekai manga!

Putin gets Isekaid into a fantasy world?
Is it any good, and is it translated?

Putin gets Isekaid into a fantasy world?

Yup! He flips 18-wheelers with his bare hands, deflects fireballs with his foot, saves fair maidens, and tames fantastic beasts such as dragons. Also, the art is pretty good.

Is it any good, and is it translated?

Yeah, there are English translations you can google, and the art is good.
