7 hospitalized after fentanyl travels through air vents at juvenile detention center in Ohio.

Do I even need to say why this is an incredibly scary development?

Yes, DaKardii, why is this an "incredibly scary development" (even if it is in my State) when I am worrying about Russian 800 kT SS-25s hitting Cleveland and Akron?

Imagine large amounts Fentanyl being dispersed into the air in the middle of a major city. And the amount of damage that can cause.

Do you think that that is a plausible scenario? If you are thinking of China or Russia doing that to us, it would be far easier just to lob an ICBM nuke. If you are thinking of some deranged individual or gang doing this, it is one thing to poison a building that way, it is another to poison an entire city.

You must be kidding...

And if you are thinking of industrial accidents, the worst case, Bhopal, can’t hold a candle to the nukings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and those were ladyfinger firecrackers compared to the thousands of bombs and warheads we have now. Seriously, you are worrying about snowflakes hitting your head while an avalanche is bearing down on you.

Here is a video made by a retired company grade officer who served as a platoon leader in Afghanistan and Iraq who breaks down or conducts an “After Action Review/AAR” a Ukrainian ambush on Russian armor who are lead element escorting a convoy down to “Barney level/Flintstones” level. I did this many times with all my soldiers, just not with officers, but sergeants, corporals, and privates. Just like on Sunday morning with NFL coaches like Bill Belichick. I made sure everybody, down to the newest privates, knew the concept of the operation and could take command of the unit leadership got KIA’ed.

There are a few things I would add. First, AARs came in vogue in the 80s in Central America when US Advisors used AARs to get the Contras into fighting form. It is a more detailed teaching tool and economical to learn from your own and the opposition mistakes than banging your head repeating the same Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) in failure.

Second, if the Ukrainians had more time, skills, and or equipment, they could have swept the Kill Zone (KZ) after putting indirect (mortars or tube-launched grenades) fire on anticipated areas where the Russian infantry moved to after unassing their infantry fighting vehicles (BTRs or BMPs) on the far side of the road (or place remote initiated explosives) to capture prisoners for rapid field data extraction, documents, computers, radios, weapons, ammo or site-sensitive exploitation.
Last, I hope the Ukrainians conduct their AAR, because the Russians for all their faults, their surviving infantry is doing so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMZM5jSLzc0

I notice that the Putin supporters in the West go on and one about how Vladimir Putin is a "Christian" and "a good man" fighting "globohomo". Ok. I'm about to tell the people like "Cool Breeze" the truth.

Putin is a homosexual pedophile. He rapes boys.

I watched an interview given by KGB general Oleg Kalugin a few days ago.13:45 on the tape.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL7Sm_gXgUI

Kalugin is a long time opponent of Putin and his gang of slime. If you watch the interview, the nearly 90 year old KGB commandant talks at length about Putin. Towards the end of the interview he mentions Alexander Litvinenko, the ex-FSB agent murdered with Polonium in London in 2006. Kalugin mentioned that in the mid-2006, Litvinenko started writing and talking about Putin's homosexual pedophilia and that Kalugin had telephoned him and warned him that what he was doing was extremely dangerous. Kalugin doesn't expressly say what Putin's private life secret was, but a little research will bring results. The Russian web has more information, for those who can read Russian.

Putin graduated from an elite KGB school, but ended up in a 3rd rate assignment because his perversion was discovered. Embarrassed high ups covered it up to protect themselves. When Putin took over the FSB he destroyed the video tapes and photos of himself having sex with boys. The former KGB general (Anatoly Trofimov) in charge of internal investigations was aware of these videos and files and he was murdered in 2005.

A famous Russian investigative reporter (Artyom Borovik) -who also worked for the American news program 60Minutes- was also aware of this information. He was killed in a private plane crash in march 2000. I was in the ex-USSR when he was killed, and when I watched the report on Russian TV, everyone in the room with me said the same thing. He was murdered.

In 2006 Putin kissed and licked the stomach of a 4 year old boy. Russia was shocked. That is not Russian behavior.

Putin is not a sincere Christian. (Lighting candles does not make one so.) He is a sexual beast who destroys young boys.

I think this not-so-secret secret ( when publicly confirmed), and the Moscow bombings in 1999 (which Putin blamed on the Chechens) will be used to topple and destroy him. The elites don't want to give up their lifestyle. Also, they don't want a bullet between the eyes. They have to destroy Putin to save themselves. They will use this information to do it.

Putin is globohomo.

"A classmate of Putin's. He knew something about Putin's personal life, that he was NOT INTERESTED IN WOMEN & HAD SOME OTHER INTERESTS that he talked about publicly. I called him from Russia in London. I told him, Alexander Litvinenko you should not talk about Putin's private life. A few months later he was poisoned/murdered."

Ex-KGB general and Putin's former boss Oleg Kalugin

My God.

Purged by Putin?

Most likely, as Shoigu, who liked to parade around in a Russian Marshall's uniform (their 5-star equivalent), had ZERO military experience, yet was the Russian Chief of the Joint Chiefs/Defense Minister in combination. He would have been responsible for the overall plan and military readiness. He was very close to Putin, and seems to have been a master at "office politics".

Right now, Putin is probably searching for the military people who actually are competent to help extricate him from this mess and to rebuild, refit, and re-orient the Russian military.

Shoigu is a civil engineer who is well known in Russia (and even the ex-Soviet Union) for his ability to get things done when he managed the emergency response agency. And yes, he has zero military expereince.

However, none of the men Putin has appointed as Defense Minister have had any military experience. It is part of Putin strategy of humiliating the Russian military. The Defense minister before Shoigu, Anatoly Serdyukov, had managed furniture stores. His only military service was as a RED army truck driver for two years in Soviet Moldova. And before him, the DM was a disgraced KGB agent. Puitn doesn't trust the Russian army. Having these particular men in charge was a calibrate insult. The exiled oligarch Pugachev talked about this directly in a recent interview. Putin is weird.

Yes, this is all part of the long term effort to keep the military in check, so as to reduce the risk to the actual leadership. Utahbob posted a great link to a twitter explanation of how this has been done for year. If people haven't looked at that, they should do so.

Stalin did the same thing, culminating in the purges of the late 1930s. The result for him was the disastrous attack on Finland in 1939 known as the Winter War. Check this out on Wikipedia for background on how competent the Russian Army was as a result of Stalin's suppression of military talent.

Putin, like Stalin, obviously needs to make drastic changes and improve military competence and leadership quickly. I would bet that right now they are identifying the competent people that have been suppressed and never made it to the general officer ranks in Putin's system.

They will need to, with Putin's backing, rebuild and refit their military. The question is how fast they can do it. I have mentioned previously the drastic measures that would be needed for Russia to do this. It is highly questionable that they can pull it off.

I would not be surprised if some kind of negotiated agreement is found with Ukraine, just as it was for Finland to end the Winter War. This way the Russian army could disengage and go through drastic "rehabilitation". However, they could just go on the defensive and use their artillery while they build a new and more competent national army. I would also not be surprised, especially as their economy starts to crater, that they start a national mobilization and training program for all military age males.

Imagine large amounts Fentanyl being dispersed into the air in the middle of a major city. And the amount of damage that can cause.

Buildings have HVAC systems that direct the air; they've always been susceptible to contaminants. Cities are open air environments that don't have single points of failure. The amount of Fentanyl you'd need to poison a city is unfathomable. If you really want to kill people with chemicals, nerve gas is inexpensive and does a much better job. Chlorine would take a lot, but at least its cheap.

A 56 minute video at War College level. A good view and conclusion IMHO. A few of my friends in the “Secret Squirrel Association” and “Philosophical Drinking Society” are now confirming what I said that the Russians will breaks lots of things, bog down to a stalemate and insist on international recognition the “Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk” and Russian occupation/annexation of Crimea, since General Mud has showed up. One thing that I have not seen in the MSM is a small unit of the US Army commonly known as SOCEUR. Makes some of us go umm….. https://www.socom.mil/soceur
