Yes, the top levels of all leadership in every institution are an absolute embarrassment.
Unless, the country rids ourselves of these human scum we are inevitably doom to catastrophic ruin. A ruin so complete I expect nothing good will rise from the ashes.
Actually, the truth be known if all of them were removed today it would be a miracle to alter our current course.
Again yes, basically our entire financial, political, social and spiritual civilization has been utterly hollowed out and destroyed by the same evil generation that occupies all levels of power.
Because the pilots starting dumping fuel a second or two before crossing over the back of the drone, it appears they were trying to get the fuel on the drone. Otherwise they would have dumped it before making the pass. And the second video that I saw, the 50 second one, shows the drone’s propellers. At least one of the blades was bent at the end, and rotation appeared to be stopping. Tv
If you wanted to dump fuel ON the drone, you would dump from the front in an overhead pass so the fuel would be sucked into the inlet, (I think). Simplicius remarks on the propeller blades but this is seen as the Su27s are climbing from behind and Simplicius raises the possibility of optical distortion. Take a look at his account.
I read what he said, it makes sense. Optics is weird. Look at race cars - their wheels appear to be rotating backwards!
The SU-27’s started tight climbing turns when they peed on the drone, which had to throw an immense amount of pressurized air into the drone, possibly throwing it into an uncontrollable stall? Did they bat it out of the sky with their air?
Whoops, accidentally removed the comment here, trying to edit my own. My bad! Sorry. Anyway, the commentor said that my comparison of Dosteovsky and Disney, etc was an unfair comparison since the US has produced great writers like Faulkner and Willa Cather. She is quite right. Sorry. Feel free to re-comment and give me shit.
Well written. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
A preoccupation with golden showers

Down goes 132 million tax payer dollars
Actually just a meagre 32 million.
Interesting article. Thanks Julian.
Not as good as your stuff, but I am trying....:)
😎😇🫣 As I already noted elsewhere - “...Russian pilots...had pioneered such aerial techniques as dumping kerosene on American pilots. In this article one can meet ‘air hooligan’ Vasya Tsymbal’ who was famed for such tactics:…” https://open.substack.com/pub/simplicius76/p/breaking-russian-su-27s-finally-down
Just LOVE Vasya Tsymbal. Not that he downed any planes using his golden showers. LOVE Simplicius too. Great site and bigly recommended.
Hi Julian! Don't forget the Russians have the one-of-a-kind salvage and rescue ship the Kommuna
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_salvage_ship_Kommuna that can support submersible dives to 6.6k feet / 2km. Kommuna is based out of Sevastopol.

it's a pusher prop - the thinking goes that at high radial speeds dumping a load of liquid on the propeller can cause the blades to bend.
This came to me last night where it appears that video of the engagement is now available. Have a look: https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-31623-reaper-developments
Yes, I have read this. Interesting.

Actually, you are right. It is an unfair comparison. And Disney DID produce some great stuff.
