Your bunker branding ads are top notch! Also your other content, by the way.

Out of curiosity, why are you carrying the plates to KY? Are you planning to remind them that air assault is airborne's slower cousin?

I don't know if you can answer this question for me. When I was in we used smoke to conceal our advance, it doesn't look like they, Ukraine or Russia is doing this, why they just drive right into the enemies position without cove smoke ?

Good analysis. You hit head on head with how non native speaker of English writing on Internet... contractions are not strong suite - perhaps Terror-Russian troll will typo and make )) for smiley face, which is dead giveaway also. Either way is interesting, illustration of how war is being waged in these ‘modern times’

Something else that hit me was his use of the word or concept of BBQ. In Texas, "BBQ" and "grilling" are two completely separate things whereas most of the rest of the world uses the terms interchangeably. The process of direct heat grilling has much more of a burning flesh process alone with smell than indirect smoking or what a Texan would call BBQ. The process of the latter is a very slow smokey process where the meat isn't in direct contact with the fire. Lots of wood smoke smell but not so much on the burning meat smell.

I don't know about this one pal. Kinda Hamilton 68, if you ask me ("They don't agree with me, ergo they must be a russian bot.") Here's his linktree, https://linktr.ee/thedeplorableveteran . Here's a vid from his rumble account https://rumble.com/v1pagc3-prank-on-my-7-year-old-son.html . Looks pretty genuine to me. From one retired mediocre NCO to another, I'd be careful about the stolen valor stuff, better to kick that over to the guys that specialize in that field, before making an accusation.

Great insights, Vlad. Maybe you have a bridge to the Crimea you’d like to sell us. I spent time on that creep’s Twitter page and he’s right out of a former President’s playbook: total bot.
