Well, with the war in Ukraine raging for over a week now, the internet has had plenty of time to meme the heck out of it, so tonight's Friday meme madness will focus on the best (and worst) of these memes. Here's one inspired by our dear leader.
Tonight, on Top Gear Ukraine
Reddit goes to war

The Tankies get in on the action?
They don't want you to know this, but Russian hardware in Ukraine is free. You can take home as much as you like. I have 237 T-90s

And you get a tax break
Which is a good thing at these prices
How do they fit in those little balls?
If I had a nickel for every time I could use this joke, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Intelligence has found out that the Russian Tor M1 anti-air missile system is powered by twin John Deere tractor motors

International alliances are in flux
International alliances are in flux, part 2

There are lots of these so-called “hero” stories being pushed. None of them are true
You too can get in on the hero racket

How it started
How it's really going
Food for thought

This was posted on the ONT last night after I went to bed:
Mornin', all, I'd always read that Hoover was accused of doing "nothing" about the onset of the Great Depression, not that he tried strong government intervention. Of course the same works always praised FDR for his strong government intervention. I need to read more about Harding and Coolidge.It was too late to answer it when I saw it this morning, but Hoover “doing nothing” is false. It was started by Democrats who wanted Hoover out FDR in (FDR, who did everything Hoover had been doing, turned up to 11), and has become one of the great lies of history. Hoover was all about massive government intervention to “fix” the economy. None of it worked, of course, all it did was turn the Depression of '29 into the Great Depression. If he had truly done nothing, he would have been reelected in a landslide, because the economy would have been booming again.

yep, the slurs against Hoover are, of course..and get this...completely false and 180 degrees wrong. Kinda like saying Bush 43 didn't destroy capitalism to save it. Nah dawg, you just let the mortgage thing get out of hand for 8 years. Hoover did some stuff, is all.
The only thing FDR did to help the Great Depression end was to die in office. His policies were insane and beyond, probably, what we see with Mooselini and other present day tyrants. Instead of seizing your bitcoins he grabbed your gold.

Dave, saw a good meme this week. I think those figures known as "NPCs", rows of them, three frames, in each frame a different little tag on the side of their heads.
COVID
BLM
A Ukrainian flag
Perfect. And scary observant. Three consecutive "emergencies/moral panics/whatevers", pretty much the same reaction to each.

Hoover had gone legend for his "good work" in prolonging the misery in EUrope particularly Belgium post ww1.
Government officials have been addicted for over a century to the notion that they are smarter than their populations.

True story - when I was in First Grade, Picture Day just happened to coincide with Show and Tell Day.
And little Teresa in La Porte (who would grow up to be Teresa in Fort Worth) had brought a turtle that she had found near home for S&T that day.
Absolutely refused to have her picture taken unless the turtle was also in the shot.
This was back in the day when you had to wait for weeks for your pictures to come back. Boy, was my mom pissed when she saw those pictures!
But EVERYONE remembered that school picture!

Germany is currently attempting to use the EU to do politically what they failed to do militarily. But really, what has changed in German thought since WW2? Any big freedom movements? Any rethinking of their pre-WW2 philosophies that led to WW2? Or just a relentless move further and further left?

Went through this with a friend whose family couldn't get to the hospital in time after they removed his life support a few years ago. The nurse explained that it just sounds bad, but the patient is in no distress.
Which is a VERY nice change from last night when he very definitely was freaking out every so often when a swallow would catch him by surprise.

This country has a "leadership" class that has convinced itself its ONLY unalterable objective is to destroy its electorate's way of life.
They are insanely reliant on Russia to "make a great deal" with Iran and refuse to maximize American oil production to undermine both those nations' economies.....

I usually don't have time to read ONT comments, including tonight, but I want to add a statement (but not really sure if I am right.)
What I thought, (and I have to double check -maybe later) that the dems criticized Hoovers actions for doing something while he was in office, then FDR ramped them up and they criticized him for having not done enough. See how that works? He gets blamed both ways. The latter narrative grew only later when the economy finally did turn around. Not while it was staggering under FDR "continuous experimentation."
They do this a lot - Clinton criticized Bush for engaging with China and allowing temp MFN, then Clinton made it permanent. There are a lot of examples if you think about it. Another is Obama criticizing Bush for bombing in middle east, then doing 10x more.

One day a guy came to the house to repair some appliance and my mom recognized him as a band member of Roy Orbison who'd had a country and western show on one of the local stations in the area. I guess he'd already hit it big and didn't bring his band mate.

My point was that what Hoover did was radical, and din't work, so he was wide open to attack from the Dems. And they did.
Then FDR did more and more and more of centralized control and got worse and worse and worse results.
The "didn't do nothing" came after the war, and really after the 70s when they were trying to justify doing tons and tons to fix the Carter economy.

assigned to a six person bunker with a manually powered air filtration system. takes two people to operate the thing. there are only three of us. so. asphixiation, after nukiage, in what? maybe eight hours tops.
i'm the lowest ranked enlisted, so i'm also the dude that goes aout and maps the least contaminated exit route. we tested and practiced this, there is no return from this duty.
i may have seen a rear, non missile & warhead facility something like six months later. didn't see an afees barber or px for maybe a year.
we got maybe a bit strange, apocolypse now movie spoke to us on a visceral level.
these experiences left me somewhat jaded and unfeeling in others pain or suffering. so when we talk about russia/ukraine, i really don't give a shit. just nuke em and get the bullshit over with. roll west, nuke europe. ok. they've needed it since '39. just do it already so i can go back to sleep.

Even more amazing - spent quite a bit of time in Leningrad, never got to see any of the eggs there (think they were on display at times). Of course the Hermitage is enormous, one can pop in for an hour at a time to see something different for a few years, probably.
Amber Room was the thing that stands out most in memory. And the square nearby, where some famous 1905 incidents took place.

They also translated Agricola's De Re Metallica (on mining) which I had a chance to buy TWICE at a used book store and never picked up because I wanted something else.
His role during WWI was getting supplies to civilians in Belgium who were trapped by the Germans.

I most definitely saw the Malachite Room. I think the Amber Room is the one that's missing.
The restoration of the palaces around St. Petersburg (not from the Revolution, but from the sophisticated civilized behavior of the Master Race when they came visiting) was pretty incredible. One thing these and other projects did was give artists wonderful extended non-political projects to work on.
Perhaps typically odd, my favorite part of those palaces - the parquet floors.

I hope someone actually is keeping track of this. I do believe that logistics in projecting force outside their borders is proving to be a challenge that Russia sort of knew would be a problem, but didn't really anticipate would be as big a problem as it has become.
Perversely, the bigger the supported force in combat and the further the force is from base, the bigger the logistical tail has to be. And the tail itself, as it gets bigger, has to devote more resources to supporting itself before it can support the trigger pullers. Add in a moderate rate of consumption of ammunition and the need for spare parts and the problem becomes even more complex. And then the logistical tail needs protection itself, as well as military police and all the other bells and whistles.
I don't know about Sunday, but I do believe the challenges are increasing at a rapid rate.

Georg Bauer was a physician who practiced in Bohemia during the big sliver mining boom during the 15th Century. Since he was practicing on the miners, he did a lot of study on both the miners and how silver was mined and wrote it up in Latin. He latinized his name to Agricola because Bauer meant Farmer.
The whole work was called De Re Metallica, and discussed everything from dowsing for metal and water, to starting a mine, extracting ore, dangers of mining, malicious imps (we call them Tommyknockers) risks of fires, and sluicing water for mining.
Herbert Hoover was a mining engineer, and he and his wife Lou wrote up a translation of it when they were between jobs after getting caught up in the Boxer Rebellion. As one does.

We may never know or not know for a long time the true story, but some puzzling things are the apparent failure to work as BTGs, even though that's how they're organized and trained, and what appears* to be a lot of abandoned equipment.
* many caveats on this - "data" is just imagery sent in, usually no details or context, very often vehicles are recoverable and recovered - so it's an interesting thing that may not be a thing at all, just impossible to know now

The Marxist-Fascist insurrection that is in control of the US government is exactly for this type of ultimate outcome. Their solar and wind energy push is predicated on fossil fuel costs being raised 3X to 4X times which then makes the so called "green energy" becoming, for the first time, financially viable without subsidies. The current Russian matter does exactly that as noted recently by Mayor Buttplug when he noted that the Federal government shouldn't engage in a short term problem (fossil fuels) to a long term solution (lunatic green energy). This will raise energy costs that make "Green Energy" cost efficient for the first time. Never forget, the radical left is out to collapse the economy as we know it and replace it with a solution that leads us back to 14th century quality of life.

they had a lethal military in the 70s - 90s when they decided to integrate all the East Germans and then start the massive welfare state, and then rely on the East Germans to fill the ranks, and then the East Germans not only got old and retired, but found out that most of their military veterans' benefits got redirected to social projects.
Now they are doing diversity-crime purges among the ranks and the German military doesn't do much.
I have been told the last thing the German military has done was during the Covid riots, they told Merkel they were busy and maybe she should talk to the police.

Rush Limbaugh always said he'd let us know when it's time to panic. Maybe not time to "panic" per-se, but it's damn sure time to buy all the ammo, canned food, such silver n' gold as can be bought. Goes hand in hand with getting all reserves out of our banks, leaving and/or depositing only enough to cover automated payments or such, until those systems too, break down and fail. Meanwhile. God Bless the Moron Horde!

Everyone is losing their mind and considering WW3 cause Putin wants to change the government in Ukraine. You know, Ukraine, that place that has been independent for about 30 years in recorded history. And the government he wants to change took over from the last government in 2014 and is headed by an actor\comedian. Meanwhile the price of oil is going through the roof even though nothing has changed with supply, except the US isn't pumping as much as they did under Trump. But its out of the question that the US pumps more because we have to focus on alternative energy that doesn't exist yet, even if it ever actually can. Nearly all the evidence points to the vax doing nothing good and more likely causing harm, mandates are being dropped right and left..but they still advertise how you should get it. The current political leadership has polls released showing how their ideas are becoming about as popular as smelly drunken people at church but they double down on them. It's all insane.

Parents just celebrated 56 years of wedded bliss, which I find miraculous in itself, especially since I used to pray as a kid that they'd divorce.
When my mom chased my dad into a bathroom, and I had to call the MPs on them when I was 13, that's when I kinda realized that maybe they will truly kill each other, and maybe a divorce would be such a bad idea.
