I was in Poti, Georgia in 2020. They defiantly do not want to be part of Russia. At least not the average folks I met. Great wine.

I really don’t understand the Hungarian people’s tolerance for Orban’s Russophilia. I always figured the Hungarians would despise the Russians for what they have done to Hungary in the past. Everyone I have met of Hungarian provenance have been freedom-loving people who disdain the Russians.

The election is in April, and signs of his government falling to the opposition are all over the place.
This event and probably more over the coming month are attempts to leave turds in the bed for the new government to grapple with.
If the next election is done without Russian clandestine assistance I think you will find that the Hungarian people don't really like the position that Orban has put them in. But I fear that he has learnt vote counting from the masters.

Watching a recent video from Cappy Army on YouTube...
Apparently the Ukrainians actively sold Starlink terminals to the Russians (shipping via Kazakhstan) who were desperate for better battlefield communications...then tracked the terminals & attacked when the time was right.
Their idea had the Russians lead them directly to...well, the Russians.
...
This idea helped them retake some ground by successfully locating and attacking Russian positions, but not before cutting the very internet connections they made sure those Russian positions were relying on...

A couple of articles that highlight the critical use of drones (both large and small) in the Ukraine War.

The low cost of small drones compared to the cost of the vehicles they are targeting may require some critical thinking on how we choose to go about recapitalizing our military.
Meanwhile larger drones are striking farther and farther behind the front lines to hit strategic targets. These are weapons that are definitely well within the capability of Canadian aerospace companies to build.
