Ukraine has finalized a mineral deal with the U.S. and it is expected to be signed.
My view on this is similar to a comment attached to this post — it’s like charging someone for water when their house is on fire.

Ukraine is set to sign a natural resources deal with the U.S. within hours, aiming to deepen economic ties and secure future military aid through a joint investment fund. Ukraine will reimburse the U.S. under the natural resources deal only for future military aid.

At least they were well lubed.
Ukraine hit a Russian target in Rylsk, which is in the Kursk region.
He did manage to catch it, so to speak.
One drone would take out six occupiers.
That would be a hell of a way to go out.

The first post in this thread talks about a nude Russian soldier who recorded one of those video appeals where he complains about commanders who don’t care about the lives of their soldiers, etc. etc.
What makes this different is the fact he did it while nude. Why did he do that, you might ask. Who the hell knows. But maybe he thought he needed to make this appeal stand out from the million other appeals.
This part of the thread is interesting:

9/ "The fighters are sent on combat missions without any support. The bodies of the dead are not evacuated, some are buried independently, in addition, corpses are designated as landmarks [for navigation]."

The soldier was the only survivor of a meat assault but was wounded in the leg.
16/ The soldier says that he will leave the medical unit to get proper medical care elsewhere, and he will not allow his commanders to get him killed.
17/ "I do not intend to lay down my life for these bastards. Not for our native Russia, but for these freaks who maim and kill our soldiers. They deliberately report that every [objective] has long been taken, only staff officers get medals."
18/ "I'm not going to die for these ghouls who just kill soldiers, who just cancel them, bury them, who can't evacuate them, they don't want to make strategic and tactical decisions.
That’s about a third of the 15,000-man force North Korea sent to Russia.
Russia pisses away another 1,100 soldiers.
Zelenskyy warns of military action coming from Belarus.
Wait! I thought they were going to march through Berlin on their way to taking Lisbon and nuking the UK.
Space Force?
I don’t think “a presence” is what Trump had in mind.
He should watch out. He might just get what he is asking for — only it will be a tribunal to try Russian war criminals.
