Okay, you got me there. Maybe Putin actually does think that, in the same way he expected tanks to drive to Kyiv without fuel.

I wonder what the actual condition of the Russian navy is at this point. I heard their ships were generally in poor condition even before the war (those reports of the Moskva's air defense being crippled before it left port, for example), and now they're losing so many trained crew. Last I heard their shipyards were roughly keeping pace with losses in terms of tonnage but you can't just herd conscripts on a ship and expect it to function at all.

The Russians don't want to get immediately destroyed, so they let it slide, that's how.

I'm always skeptical of any story about a bill being submitted. There's a lot of steps between that and it even getting a vote. Is this really newsworthy? Let me know if it gets through committee, then I'll care.

Anyone remember when they said Putin would never invade Ukraine just because it would be a terrible idea? Turns out politicians make terrible decisions on occasion. We'll see what happens here.

"IDF said"

It seems pretty on-topic for Leopards Ate My Face, though?

Fyi, any invasion of North Korea would also involve a war with China, just like last time. The Chinese government likes having a buffer between them and all the US troops in the south.

Yes, and the latest version, too. Silly me assuming the version on GoG would be kept up to date...thankfully I didn't lose too much time.

I'm trying to get into Daggerfall. I probably wouldn't have got past character creation without a guide, and I died an embarrassing number of times in the intro dungeon, but once I got to town and figured out how to pick up quests things started to come together. We'll see how far I get.

It's because of the lack of party discipline in the US political system. There's no party whip to bring everyone in line, so bills need to cater to the whims of many individual politicians to get votes rather than being negotiated strictly at the leadership level.
