The first thing that crossed my mind is that they might try to cancel OpenTTD. Chris Sawyer reportedly wasn't too happy about OpenTTD but didn't too much against it, maybe recognising that it is a fan tribute. Nobody can expect that of Ataris's corporate lawyers.

Lenin claimed that capitalists would sell him the rope he hangs them with. I use lemmy to, among other stuff, spread that tankies are stupid & russia sucks.

Unfortunately that also means they are pushing hard. They might reach Kurakhove and Pokrovsk before the mud kicks in.

Did Hungary annex Slovakia again or what?

Nobody is airlifting a tank when introducing it to the army. They will ship it to Europe and then move it through Poland, just like everything else.

That might be as well but the article is about Pbv 302 APC, which is much older, 1960's stuff.

Honestly, I think that there may be a very legitimate argument that given that Romania and Bulgaria joined – and this becomes even more-significant with a Ukrainian membership – that the scope of Article 6 should be extended to the Black Sea, as we did with Turkey when Turkey joined. Otherwise, it’s possible for Russia to perform a blockade on NATO Black Sea powers and sink their warships without them being able to avail themselves of NATO Article 5 protection.

Broadly speaking you aren't wrong but ATM russian navy is unable to blockade even the civilian shipping of a country that has no navy. There is probably no need to resolve this issue now, especially as the Black sea countries are bound by the previous treaties on Black Sea like the Montreux convention. Moscow might be more amenable to changes of these treaties if NATO doesn't let them win in Ukraine.

Similar role and similar longevity to the M2 machine gun.

Well, the standard has changed since it was a polaroid of giving him the bird in 4G inverted dive some 40 years ago.

 

Czech police stopped a Russian tennis player from entering the country ahead of the WTA Prague Open tournament, organisers said on Friday, as a new government resolution banning athletes from Russia or Belarus caused the event to scratch other competitors.
