The general killed today, a 3 star, usually has an operational or strategic command position.

US slang is 'Bull Colonel' or 'Bird Colonel'. Here, it's roughly translated as Full Colonel or Half Colonel. You got it right, Full Colonel.

We are fine. My blue girl Sophia had a gentleman suitor from Rostov na Danu here for the late summer and she seems to be with child. We'll know this week, ultrasound. If she throws a good blue boy or girl we'll keep the child, all the rest will be sold. Since Deesik has a wandering eye it's possible Sophia's companion Ye'katarina is also expectant. She and Deesik are both black so the children will be black with about a 2% chance of a blue.

All is well with you?

Israel’s justice minister has warned the Syrian government that Israel “will do what is necessary” if President Bashar al-Assad does not keep Russia out of Syria.

Ayelet Shaked said that If Putin wants to survive, he needs to keep his millitary forces out of Syria’.

“Israel needs to pressure world powers to not allow Russia to establish a strong presence in Syria,” Shaked told Herzliya’s International Institute on Counterterrorism Conference. If the world powers did not comply with this demand, she said, then Israel will “do what we need to do.”

The threats towards Syria come a time when pro- government forces have all but extinguished the presence of ISIS in Syria and are getting close to completely ending the six year long war.

Russia Insider reports:

The Israeli government – who last week bombed a Syrian military outpost, killing two soldiers – have now verbally challenged the Syrian government in the form of offering an ultimatum. The threats towards Syria come a time when the Assad government forces have all but extinguished the presence of Daesh in Syria and are coming close to completely ending the war. Israel meanwhile seem to be having an anxiety attack over the current situation and have been beating hard on the drums of war.

In Netanyahu’s most recent meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin, he frequently sought to voice his concerns over Russia, this was then – to Netanyahu’s frustration – brushed under the rug by Putin as it was viewed as a non-substantial issue. A paranoid Israeli government have meanwhile been busy preparing for war with pretty much every enemy they can since that meeting took place and don’t seem to be very happy with the way things are turning out in Syria, with the strengthening of the ‘axis of resistance’.

it might all be lost in translation a bit. most likely SAA are going to suffer from increased israeli strikes - nothing the SAA can do about it unfortunately but suck them up. i cannot for the life of me see them targeting Russian forces unless through actions like the one that just killed senior officers at comms post.

Thanks, my father and brother were Half Colonels (Wg Cdr) and my father in law a Norwegian Colonel First Class, he should have been a 1* but the Norwegian military had their full complement of them and the politicians wouldn't wear another so they had to make up the First Class monica!

You had me going for a mo until I realised you were talking about your hounds

All good here, my partner's daughter found she had a hole in the heart, at 37, and is having it stopped up next week. They go in through a groin artery and she is almost a day patient, amazing.

Without breaching opsec is much of the gear going down south coming from your neck of the woods?
