Arnie is a badass. Love that man. It's still hard to see him as an old man though. I grew up with him as really the main action star. Him and Sly. So many favorites from him. I probably watched Predator and Commando and Total Recall a million times as a kid. It sucks that we don't really have action stars anymore.

Commando is one my favorites

Remember Sully when I said I was going to kill you last?

That's right Matrix you did.

I lied.

Putin allegedly orders arrest of top military chief

Vladimir Putin allegedly ordered the arrest of military chief, General Roman Gavrilov, by the FSB security service
As a conflict that Vladimir Putin reportedly believed would last only one week, continues in its 23rd day, the Russian leader has allegedly ordered the FSB security forces to arrests his military chief.

It is being reported today, Thursday, March 17, that General Roman Gavrilov, has been detained. He was the deputy chief of one of the first units to enter Ukraine, the Rosgvardia, spearheading the whole ‘special operation’.

No official reason has been confirmed for Gavrilov’s arrest, but a source in Moscow is rumoured to have said he had possibly been detained on a charge of “leaks of military information that led to the loss of life”.

This would be a very serious offence of course, compared to an earlier source claiming that a quote from Bellincat’s Christo Grozev said he had been detained for “wasteful squandering of fuel”.

The Rosgvardia is Putin’s Russian Federal National Guard Troops Service unit, which, according to the Russian news outlet, Pravda, has racked up a huge number of casualties so far in Ukraine.

Russia has failed to confirm any exact figures, but according to the Kremlin, a low total of 498 Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of the conflict. US officials claim this number is nearer to 7,000, while officials in Ukraine put the figure at an estimated 13,500 dead Russian troops.

Last week, according to reports in The Times, Putin arrested two of his top military intelligence officers. Head of the foreign intelligence branch of the FSB, Sergey Beseda, was detained, along with his deputy, Anatoly Bolyukh, and both men apparently placed under house arrest in Moscow.

Kremlin officials allegedly claimed the two had been arrested for financial misconduct, but it is widely believed that the Russian President has made them scapegoats for the failure of his invasion so far. He has apparently blamed their intelligence reports prior to the incursion into Ukraine, for not revealing how strong the Ukrainian defence would be, as reported by dailystar.co.uk.

Trump Supporters Ludicrously Claim He Would've Been Tougher on Putin: A Closer Look

 
Seems Strange that Putin want to accuse patriot Ukrainians as being Nazi when many are Jewish like their President. Yet trump and putang had a thing going.

US military fears Putin is planning to use a nuclear bomb in Kyiv and reveals he is working on new nuclear weapons that can circumvent Western defenses so that he can 'credibly inflict unacceptable damage on the West'
  • DIA Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier revealed the concerns in a report Thursday
  • The report on global threats noted that Putin would be likely to threaten use of nuclear weapons if Ukrainian defense forces continue to push back
  • It's also believed that Putin intends to 'overturn the U.S.-led rules based post-Cold War international order' and reclaim former Soviet territories
  • The report also notes that Russia claims to be developing missiles that are capable of circumventing Western defenses
  • It has already deployed non-nuclear weapons that come equipped with decoy projectiles, in a possible sign of what's to come
  • This is in order to 'ensure that Russia can credibly inflict unacceptable damage on the West'
  • At the St. Patrick's Day luncheon in the Capitol on Thursday, President Biden called Putin a 'murderous dictator' over Ukraine
  • Biden's latest war of words are the most direct at the Russian leader in the 21 days since the invasion
Vladimir Putin will edge closer to deploying a nuclear attack if Ukraine continues its valiant pushback against the invasion of Russian troops, a top US defense official warned.

Lieutenant General Scott Berrier, director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency detailed the grim concerns in a new 67-page summary of global threats on Thursday.

It raises the specter of a possible nuclear attack on Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital which has so-far resisted Russian advances, and said a desperate Putin posed a threat to the whole world.

His report notes that Russia claims to be developing missiles that are capable of circumventing Western defenses in order to 'ensure that Russia can credibly inflict unacceptable damage on the West.'

Russia recently deployed non-nuclear missiles that come equipped with decoy projectiles - a feature that hadn't previously been seen by western defense bosses - giving a possible glimpse of the type of feature that could be fitted to the most devastating bombs in Putin's arsenal.

'As this war and its consequences slowly weaken Russian conventional strength, Russia likely will increasingly rely on its nuclear deterrent to signal the West and project strength to its internal and external audiences,' he wrote in the report that was obtained by Fox News.

The report's grim assessment comes less than 24 hours before a Friday call between President Joe Biden and China's President Xi Jinping, as Biden is expected to ask for Xi's help on pressuring Moscow to end the conflict.

'U.S. efforts to undermine Russia's goals in Ukraine, combined with its perception that the United States is a nation in decline, could prompt Russia to engage in more aggressive actions not only in Ukraine itself, but also more broadly in its perceived confrontation with the West,' Berrier said in the report.

He added that a key motivation for the invasion is Russia's determination 'to restore a sphere of influence over Ukraine and the other states of the former Soviet Union.'

'Despite greater than anticipated resistance from Ukraine and relatively high losses in the initial phases of the conflict, Moscow appears determined to press forward by using more lethal capabilities until the Ukrainian government is willing to come to terms favorable to Moscow,' he wrote.

However, a senior Pentagon official told Bloomberg on Thursday that the invasion is largely stalled, with Russia relying on more than 1,000 long-range missile strikes into Ukraine.

That in itself has further stoked fears that an embarrassed Putin would be emboldened to take the conflict nuclear, and possibly trigger World War Three.

Earlier this week, U.S. Intelligence discovered that Russia has been using secret 'decoy dart' missiles to strike Ukrainian targets.

If Russia were to nuke Kyiv that would be a hard decision to nuke back. I mean launching back means pretty much the destruction of at the very least Europe but most likely the world.

It would be an awful escalation because we wouldn’t nuke back and we wouldn’t attack him because now we know he’s willing to use them.
