I remain dubious about this. Until people make more of an effort to deal with criticisms that this is just a measurement artifact (see end of article) I will not be convinced. Sperm count is declining at accelerating rate worldwide
And now we know something….

In Horrific Move, Iran’s Parliament Votes to Execute 15,000 Protestors to Teach ‘Hard Lesson’ This Iranian sympathizing newspaper says that this story is not true and they are probably right. But note that the truth is that the legislators only signed a letter calling for for the executions and not actually passing a law. I am not sure that is the defense they think it is.
7 minutes to say that nobody knows nothing yet.
I don’t really have good links on the topic of the possibly Russian missile that hit Poland (slim possibility it could have been a Ukrainian anti-air missile). Below pretty much says what I know including what the Russians were likely trying to hit and why.

Crazy Move By Ukraine?
Back on November 12th, Reporting From Ukraine predicted that the next target of the Ukrainian military would be the Kinburn peninsula. I did not think that this was anything other the Ukrainian forces trying to worry the Russians because it seemed crazy to me that they would try to attack the Russians across a body of water. Today all the pro-Ukrainian U-tube channels that I regularly watch are showing videos like this one….
It is still not clear that this is anything other then a raid (Russia says that it destroyed all the attackers for what that is worth). But Ukraine is sure getting a lot of people’s hopes up if it is only a raid.
Here is Reporting from Ukraine trying to assuage the concerns of people like me who do not think this is tactically sound.
I am not convinced myself. Crossing in little rubber boats is not the same thing as having heavy lift boats needed for really resupply. Also, I see no discussion of Russian Air Power.
If this all works out as being portrayed, it is a sign of how much the Russian military has been degraded. But I am still not convinced the goal is take ground. I think it is possible that the primary motive is to mess with Russian heads.

Big Russian Earns His Fifteen Minutes of Fame.
After this rant has gone viral, I don’t see this guy having a long life. But clearly he is afraid that neither he nor the guys he seems to care about (dragged himself out of hospital because he did not want his guys to go on with out him) are going to have a long life in any case.
The rest of the rant from another point of view.
