The Air Force may have decommissioned napalm tanks. It will certainly be cheaper, even taking into account the bomber rental.

The famous writer Leo Tolstoy had a brother, Nikolai, a hunter. Nikolai described hunting in the reeds near the Kuban River. The hunters there used the bayonet of a Berdan rifle on a long shaft. Dangerous hunting, with heavy losses among the dogs.

You probably think that the border there is something like the perimeter from Harry Harrison's novel "The Indomitable Planet". The Finns don't guard this border at all, why? Forests and deep swamps. There are two or three checkpoints on the roads, that's all. The European Union demanded that...

Scott CWO, that's not convincing. I remember the events of the 90s well. Baker promised Gorbachev that there would be no advance to the east, and the Germans talked about this at the highest level (by the way, the Germans respected this agreement for quite a long time). Yeltsin even agreed in...

I have heard more than once that NATO's expansion to the east is not an aggressive step at all, and it does not pose any threat to Russia. And I even read it, and even here. And now it turns out that we have to tremble and cringe. That's the answer to why such events unfolded after the fascist...

Oh, there's no objection to the fence, you're welcome. But moving the fence is a bad idea, it raises objections.

dear Scott CWO, I highly appreciate your guarantees (I hope no one in the West will violate them in the future), but nevertheless I would like to note that from the outside it is the Western idea of advancing its military structure to the East that looks like a really paranoid idea. Considering...

The fact that Yeltsin "approved" the expansion of NATO is an exaggeration. There are also such points in the declassified in 2024 package of documents: "the Russian president openly told Clinton that he considers the conclusion of the Founding Act to be a forced step. "Our position has not...

Yes, it will reduce the profits of corporations - those corporations that trade in imports. But high import prices allow domestic manufacturing corporations to produce.

Oh, it's more like "nothing at all," but I know the position of some new Canadian citizens - they definitely would not give up American citizenship. And I do not know what the most truthful media in the world are telling you about Afghanistan, but I remember that our army withdrew from...

You probably have little idea how many people are willing to hand over their mother to a meat processing plant for American citizenship, so in this hypothetical situation, I would not expect something apocalyptic. I judge by the emigrants I know who were forced to settle in Canada, even though...

Oh, we feel great - the weather is great, it's never been like this at this time of the year, everything is blooming. I spend a lot of time at the "dacha", 50 km from Moscow, just in that direction. I didn't feel anything particularly scary. Unfortunately, such things happen, and they happened...

And with Greenland and Canada the area of the USA will be the largest in the world.

Well...

Traditionally, mothers didn't teach their daughters how to cook. This was supposed to be done by the mothers of their future husbands, for peace in the family. Unfortunately, no one is doing this now, it's just self-education.

The wife witnessed a real case. The frontman of a popular band, a generally recognizable guy, went to the hospital to visit a friend. The older medical staff looked at him - a celebrity!. A young female doctor looked at him with interest in the lobby (why was everyone looking at him), and he...

Not always. They just reported that the guy who was bitten by the bear was on the mend. He went to the forest near Moscow to look for moose horns and did not share something with the bear. I heard about a guy who was in such a situation, and then he got the nickname "Nikolai tasteless" from...

Wiki "By origin, the Cajuns are one of the groups of French Canadians, or rather Acadians, deported by the British from Acadia in 1755-1763[6]. The very word cadjin (in English spelling — cajun) is a distorted French-Creole from Cadien. Acadien (acc. "Acadian")".

Exactly. In the USA, there is the state of Georgia and the city of Odessa, and we more or less know this (I checked with my wife - she knows). And, indeed, the eccentric ex-president of the local Georgia staged performances in Odessa, Ukraine, where for some reason he was the governor. In my...

One day, I was sitting in the lobby of a hotel with my friends, and I saw a news story "the former president of Georgia is running across the rooftops in Odessa, fleeing arrest" (a real episode). There is such a character there, now he is in prison in Tbilisi. A friend says, "It's kind of...

Oh, they just speak French. For native English speakers, this language is really not very clear.

We had a Georgian teacher. The Georgian accent can't be fixed, I don't know why. In the formulas of electromagnetism, the letter "mju" (μ) denotes the magnetic constant. The teacher called him "mu" (to our ears, this is the main sound of a cow). I remember it well.

The Chinese are joking: "Trump promised 100% tariffs if we attack Taiwan. So now is the time - there will be a decent discount."

Huh, that's funny. The trade in American cars with Russia has been banned for many years, however, there are a couple of new Dodges parked right next to my block-of-flat, among other things. There are fans of the "rams", despite the considerable headache with their purchase and maintenance.

Today. Spring is coming

This story clearly shows that Biden and his team were deeply indifferent to everything except their "brilliant" ideas. By the way, we had a case - the "forgotten cosmonaut" Krikalev flew in 1991, and returned only in 1992, when the USSR was gone, for 311 days.

nephew or niece?

Well, that's the way this world is, the world of easy contraception. Will humanity survive this catastrophe?

When I was young, I was involved in the reconstruction of a pigsty. The support pillars there looked exactly the same.

There was a real case with consequences recently - a woman and her lover fell out of a bar and got into a taxi, and her husband turned out to be the driver.

In the Czech city of Brody, beavers erected a dam in two days, which took the local administration seven years to coordinate. With their hard work, the animals saved the authorities $ 1.2 million, CT24 TV channel informs.

"Just don't teach physics in school, and your life will be full of wonders and adventures."

Is it possible to wear all 10 at once? They're all very good. Although it would probably look a bit strange...

It's not a very well-known brand, but it turned out to be extremely successful, survived a couple of accidents with shattered glass, etc., and the watchmakers praised the mechanism. At one time, watches cost significantly less than 1,000, and now they are on the secondary market and less than 100.

There are drip stoves that run on used oil or diesel fuel.

The essence of the real "leftist idea" is the socialization of the means of production. There are possible options here - the property of the state, or territorial communities, or industrial collectives. What real liberalism is has been stated above. Lovers of fucking publicly in the chimney are...

Japan is actually long (>3,000 km) - almost as wide as Australia from west to east (4,000 km). And Europe is not like that either - it is actually bigger, but Turkey participates in it only in a small piece.

Confirm. When I find myself abroad, I always try to do the most terrible things to the locals. I'm just afraid of the Australians - they walk on their heads there, you don't know what to expect from them.

Well, we have craftsmen who have shod the flea, so the steel lacquered casings are also reloaded. Although it's like f...g in a hammock while standing on skis. But besides them there are brass LVE, Novosibirsk. Also under Berdan. And some more, I didn't see. They were used for the SVD-9 rifle...

Apart from RWS, no one makes these brasses. They used to be made in Russia, but they were not exported, and for some reason they are not being made now. And they're under Berdan. A friend of mine in the USA made them himself from magnum-caliber, preferably 338 Win Mag. It is necessary to expand...

You stole our winter like the Grinch stole Christmas.

These are the soldiers of the 339th regiment in my native village, in 1918. It is not far from Plesetsk, where the cosmodrome is now. There was a school in the big house upstairs, where my mother later became a teacher. At that time, Western countries deployed about 300,000 troops to our...

Modern science has been testing hypotheses by experiment since the time of Roger Bacon. An experiment that can be repeated in another place and at another time. Anything that is not verified by experiment is unscientific or not entirely scientific. This is how modern science differs from ancient...

May be it's about the "contract 18-24" - new program from 10 February - a set of volunteers with large cash payments and benefits for admission to the university. It is unclear how this relates to the ban on leaving the country from the age of 18.

Spring has coming
