I never stop being amazed by them. Launching their “Birdhouse” — a strategic-class missile worth around $100 million, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead — at a garage complex in the Kyiv region.
Let’s calculate how much this night cost them.
One “Oreshnik” — roughly $100 million. Around ninety cruise and ballistic missiles: Kh-101s, Kalibrs, Iskander-Ks — at an average price of about $8 million each — that’s another roughly $720 million. Six hundred Shahed drones at $50,000 each — another $30 million. Plus fuel, launch platforms, maintenance, reconnaissance.
Total: around $850 million for a single night. Nearly a billion dollars.
And what did they get for that billion?
They hit garages in Bila Tserkva. Destroyed the “Kvadrat” shopping mall. Set the roof of a dormitory on fire in Darnytskyi district. Blew apart an entrance section of a five-story apartment building in Shevchenkivskyi district. Hit a market. A supermarket. A construction hypermarket in Obolon. Dropped debris onto the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium.
Two sleeping civilians killed. Fifty-six wounded, including children. Is this their strategic result for a billion dollars? This is their “special operation.” This is their “greatness.”
They cannot move forward on the battlefield. Cannot seize a single truly significant settlement. Cannot defeat the army of a country they promised to capture in three days four years ago. And in convulsions, in agony, in powerless rage, they strike residential neighborhoods at night — museums, markets, shops, garages.
Impotent on the battlefield, compensating for their failure with the number of munitions fired at sleeping civilians.
Blind evil and helplessness at the same time.
Monsters. Simply monsters. Rabid, paranoid lunatics with a nuclear button.
I have no other words left for them.

47 million of the United States’ 340 million population is foreign-born, the majority of those being legal immigrants. To do 100 million deportations they’d have to deport citizens.

New Orleans, LA has received more than double the amount of snowfall we've received here in Anchorage, AK since the start of meteorological winter (Dec. 1). New Orleans: 8.0"
Anchorage: 3.8"
@NWSNewOrleans, we'd like our snow back. Or at least some King Cake in return. 😉🙃
He may be the only Power 5 coach who lost to NIU and got a contract extension on the same season.
Weird stat: Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman is 1st coach to lose to Northern Illinois & play for national title in same season #CFBPlayoff
Lost to NIU in South Bend
Notre Dame:
- Beat A&M in College Station
- Beat USC in the Coliseum
- Beat the SEC champs in the Sugar Bowl
- Went 5-0 against the ACC
- Went 3-0 against the Big Ten
- Went 2-0 against the SEC
IN THE SAME SEASON
Also worth noting that Ohio State didn't play in a conference championship and still got a home playoff game so they've "hacked" CFP too right?

MAC
Breaking: Northern Illinois’ board on Tuesday expected to accept offer to join Mountain West as football-only member in 2026, industry sources said.
