Key Takeaways:

The Russian military may seek to redeploy elements of the 76th or 7th VDV division or both to eastern Ukraine to support Russia’s offensive operations in Donetsk Oblast and to capitalize on the current window of vulnerability before American military aid begins reaching the frontline at scale.
Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Ryazan Oblast for the second time in less than a month on the night of April 30 to May 1.

The United Nations (UN) and Western organizations continue to demonstrate how North Korea and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are directly and indirectly helping Russia’s war effort.
Russian insider sources speculated that the criminal investigation into Russian Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov may also implicate another deputy defense minister, Rustam Tsalikov.
Bloomberg reported that four sanctioned Russian oil tankers have changed their names and are sailing under new flags.

Do you even know what communism is?
Saying 3.5% of $100k is more money than 3.5% of $50k is communism?
We have literally seen the situation I mentioned play out in this country. The 80’s was a high interest period but costs were low. Interest rates currently aren’t close to what they were back then but everything is expensive as frick because costs outpaced income.
Stick to your page long grandpa stories about people you knew in the 60’s.

Not at all, maybe in Moscow and St. Pete. The only real money being thrown around is government money. Inflation is pretty bad on all imported items like machine tools, like parts for blown the phuck up refining processes, or processes which were already idle due lack of Russia having a clue how to recreate Western engineering technology they installed in refineries over the last 20 years.
14 year olds can now work in Russian munitions factories as well.

I’m fine in the US, thanks.
I’d love to see you argue that things are just peachy here right now though.

Military: Russia trying to break through front in 3 directions
by Elsa Court and The Kyiv Independent news desk May 2, 2024 11:28 AM
Russia is trying to break through the front line in the east of Ukraine in three directions, Nazar Voloshyn, the spokesperson of the Khortytsia group of forces, said on May 2.
Ukraine has faced a worsening situation on the battlefield in recent weeks that has been compounded by delays in Western assistance. Russian forces have recently intensified offensive operations in the east of Ukraine following the capture of Avdiivka in February.
Heavy fighting is ongoing in the sections of the front line around Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Novopavlivka in Donetsk Oblast, Voloshyn said on air.
Russia "is trying to seize the strategic initiative and break through the front line," concentrating its main efforts in these areas, Voloshyn said.
The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on May 2 that the Avdiivka section of the front came under attack 32 times, while the Novopavlivka and Bakhmut sections came under attack 22 and 20 times, respectively.
Ukraine believes that Russia aims to capture the town of Chasiv Yar, just west of the Russian-occupied Bakhmut, by May 9, known as Victory Day in Russia.

US says Russia used chemical weapons in Ukraine
by Nate Ostiller May 2, 2024 1:55 PM
The U.S. State Department said on May 1 that Russian forces have used the chemical agent chloropicrin in Ukraine.
The announcement was part of a larger statement about the introduction of new U.S. sanctions against more than 280 individuals and entities.
Ukrainian military officials have previously accused Russia of using chloropicrin and other chemical weapons.
Chloropicrin is often used as an herbicide. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), exposure to its vapors can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and, if inhaled, internal organs.
Although less lethal than other chemical weapons, it was used extensively in World War I before the 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons in war.

Months of relentless Russian artillery pounding have devastated the strategic city of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine, new drone footage obtained by The Associated Press has shown, with barely a building left intact, homes and municipal offices charred, and a town that once had a population of 12,000 now left deserted.

Is that why a PC with less power than a cell phone was $10k? Median income, adjusted for inflation has almost doubled. People have a LOT more toys than in 1980. We also eat out several times more per week than 1980.
