BREAKING: Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet says the company has met with its long-lead supply chain to increase HIMARS production to 96 units annually.

"We advanced funded ahead of contract, $65 million to shorten the manufacturing lead time and that was without a contract."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy “signaled that additional aid to Ukraine, now in the ninth month of war with Russia, is unlikely if Republicans have a House majority.” https://t.co/cpoO0bdYTH

I'm fairly sure Biden doesn't need them for lend-lease but also, I doubt he has the support.

Ranking Republican on House Foreign Affairs Cttee, Michael McCaul on #Ukraine military aid on @BloombergTV : "We've got to give them what they need. When we give them what they need, they win."
McCaul, likely chair if Republicans win House, lists ATACMS and drone-fired Hellfires

May be evacuating officials, not civilians.

And now Russian media publishing interview with current commander of war against Ukraine Surovkin, he claimed Ukraine prepares to conduct missile strike at dam.

Ukraine has no weapons to destroy such a massive dam https://t.co/psKXNgkLa7

And if you want to avoid a flood, you need to move everyone to the Right bank of Dnipro, not left https://t.co/VkcWIVNUXg pic.twitter.com/AsKfAQtlwk
— Liveuamap (@Liveuamap) October 18, 2022

Most plausible explanation, the Russian troops just planning to make a tactical regrouping under cover of human shield https://t.co/psKXNgkLa7
— Liveuamap (@Liveuamap) October 18, 2022

Weird...If they evacuate to the left bank, they're going to end up flooding their own troops.

But the fuckers are going to use human shields to retreat.

Meanwhile, Russian General Sergey “Armageddon” Surovikin sounds even more pessimistic, warning that “difficult decisions” lie ahead regarding the city of Kherson itself, as Ukraine’s counteroffensive nears. Future plans depend on “the emerging military-tactical situation.” pic.twitter.com/iL22DvEhB8

Maybe they weren't so far off after all...

"Western military officials estimate Ukraine could take Kherson up to the Dnipro as soon as next week."@polinaivanovva, @HenryJFoy, and @ChristopherJM on some potentially seismic news brewing in southern Ukraine, where Russia is still retreating https://t.co/CXUIEiyEyv

This may be excellent prediction timing.

We'll see, and hope.

If someone has to announce the evacuation of Kherson, let it be General Armageddon, who can’t be blamed for the state of the war and began his tenure by bombarding Kyiv and other major cities. Z-bloggers thanking him for honesty ahead of what could be a major retreat in Kherson. https://t.co/uSOl4fLLQb
— Andrew Roth (@Andrew__Roth) October 18, 2022

Ahh, Lol. Decently smart to fool the idiot Russian public. Bring in a new guy, allows an out from Kherson where you are being fucked up and is a loss cause, he won't be blamed because it's too soon and instead he'll pin the blame on the previous General as committing a huge fuck up. Whatever, at least Ukraine will get Kherson back, it's still a big loss to Russia but it's useful for Russia to deceive their idiot nationalists.

Can't see how they can evacuate without losing a ton of equipment too. But hey, at least the new guy is bombing strategically valuable targets such as school playground...These bloggers are either incredibly stupid or just bloodthirsty monster who will take any Ukrainian death as a major win, even if it's children.

Russian Commander Surovikin tells Russian TV: “We & Ukrainians are one people. We want Ukraine to be independent of the West & Nato, a state that is friendly to Russia.” Moscow's aim is clear: to force Ukraine to be 'friends' with Russia (ie force Ukraine into Russia's orbit). pic.twitter.com/vem2rv6MuX

Kind of ironic the Russist propaganda says they want Ukraine to be their friends and independent of the West and NATO, when it is the West and NATO supporting Ukraine’s fight to maintain independence against a murderous Russian invasion.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Gaslighting is the tool of bullies and abusers.

In a late-night address posted on Telegram, Russian-installed Kherson official Kirill Stremousov calls for people to "evacuate the city as quickly as possible" and says Ukraine "will begin an offensive on the city of Kherson very soon" pic.twitter.com/NBOvy1zJCo
