Republicans allegedly want to give those funds to the Border Patrol and to build the Great Wall, not to feed your theoretical homeless woman.
Actually they don’t really care about that either, which is why an additional $14 billion for border security isn’t enough for them.
And, the aid packages promptly failed in both the House and Senate…
Harley is a British de-mining volunteer in Ukraine, organizing, training and equipping others to find, disarm and remove mines and other UXO (unexploded ordinance)
And jeez, there are so many mines to clear.
Ukraine will need about 757 years to be de-mined using conventional techniques.
The dude has XL-sized balls of Ukrainium.
I’m glad he made it to safety alive.
It would be a shame if a few dozen explosive drones were to suddenly show up and blow it to pieces…
According to a quick Google, the only thing that detonates the plastic explosive in TM-62s is a shockwave, which is how the primer detonates the mine.
So something that generates shockwaves violent enough to get through their casing over a wide area might work on all the exposed mines.
It might not be as effective on mines that are buried.
How can I make some?
Hopefully not a fly-by-night company so that they can actually get their money back.
It would be nice to see some photos of what exactly was damaged, but if you correlate the locations of the blackened blotches on the fuzzy satellite closeup with a before photo of the ship like the one in this article, it should have hit the wheelhouse with the radar on top.
Good! Lots of expensive electronics.
In this case, I hope they can lobby the new House Speaker to pass continued large packages of aid to Ukraine.

Now is a good time to invade Russia to reclaim “disputed territories” or to kick out Russian troops that are occupying territory like in Georgia, Moldova.
What a great guy! I can’t imagine life and work today without GPS.
And in a sense, all thanks to American pilots dropping chocolates and candy. A little goodwill to children goes a long way.
It was lonely and wanted to join the Moskva
They’re talking about daily or weekly losses shooting up due to the human wave offensives.
The RPG round still has the rocket propellant in it. That’s the R in Rocket Propelled Grenade, RPG.
Then the explosive payload goes off, it also ignites the propellant.
The rocket part of the round with the propellant that would normally push the round forward has nowhere to go, so it goes backwards.
Seems like a waste of munitions. The dude had a tourniquet on his leg and was likely bleeding out and left to die by his side already.
He’s got a YT channel, UA EOD
It’s not the slickest production, but gives you an idea of what they’re up against in terms of the demining task ahead of them, and the lack of resources they’re facing.
Pretty much all of their equipment and even boots are bought with donations, not funding from the Ukrainian government.
Here’s the video that the above photos are taken from https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=24UmZwqFN58
US: “No ceasefire”
Also US (Trumpublicans): “No arms for Ukraine either”
Ukraine: “Hey, we’re dying over here, we need ammunition”
