There is a record of when the alleged rape of the ex-girlfriend happened. Other accusations have come out (maybe due to the news story) and others have come out (even witnesses) about how Brand's behavior was known in the industry. That shows a pattern that backs up the claims.

The notes at the Rape Treatment Center say that she said that she didn't want to press rape charges because

she “didn’t think my words would mean anything up against his”. The notes also state that “she was worried that, if her assailant’s name is somehow released, then her name will be dragged through the dirt”.

I recently spoke at length with someone who holds dual citizenship with Armenia and Russia, but has permanent residency status in the U.S. The new information about the geopolitics in that region were eye-opening for me. Some of the things I learned:

Russia is sort of the protector of Armenia, but sometimes has troops that kill Armenian soldiers in border clashes. With Azerbaijan now sending troops to help in the war in Ukraine, Russia has pretty much abandoned Armenia and is letting Azerbaijan do what they want in Armenia.
There is a siege right now by Azerbaijan of a disputed area inhabited by ethnic Armenians where they are starving about 100,000 people.
Iran is also a protecter of Armenia (probably the biggest).
Armenia is the oldest Christian nation in the world.
Water is free in Armenia and the order of people getting water at fountains is youngest to oldest.
Rumor in Russia (even with all of the censoring and internet blocks) is that there will be another draft after the Russian elections next year.
Russians generally consider Ukrainians "brothers" or "cousins", but generally Ukrainians have deep disdain for Russians, even if they don't agree with the Russian invasion.
Chechnya's are some crazy, tough, fighting MF'ers.
Turkey doesn't like Armenia, either, and is always a threat.

Volunteers or not, there is the draft and there is now talk of another. Truth. The draft is so needed that they are taking 60-year-olds and sending them to the front lines. If the war, or "special operations" (let's not call it a war, right?), is so popular, then why the need for a draft? Why has there been a crackdown on draft dodgers if there is no need? Does the signing bonus have anything to do with the volunteers signing up? Why has the internet been restricted and censored inside Russia?

That was pretty much what my acquaintance was saying is Putin's plan. Putin will increase the amount of draftees after the election to try and overwhelm Ukraine. It was enlightening listening to someone who has not been corrupted by the propaganda from either side. It seems that Putin is not popular but everyone in that region understands why a non-friendly military presence (or threat of one) so close to Moscow would cause this reaction from Russia.

Zapped · 2023-09-05T10:54:29+00:00

The article you linked is from 2022, while the counter-offensive started in 2023. Ukraine may run out of troops, but, in my opinion, will not run out of munitions. The West can ramp up and meet production in a matter of months if needed. An acquaintance of mine who holds dual Armenian/Russian citizenship spoke to me of the election (as well as the geopolitics in that part of the world), but it was the Russian election coming up that may be holding back what Putin does in the next year.

Zapped · 2023-09-05T03:00:56+00:00

I hear your points, but I can't imagine the West will allow Ukraine to run out of munitions, especially when they are counting on bleeding Russia's economy through this war as well as the sanctions in place until the war is over.

Has Russia used this mine-laying system on the Ukraine counter-offensive? They seeded the ground before the counter-offensive, but I haven't seen them in use since. It looks like the U.S. has sent M58 line-charge type mine-clearers. Noisy and easy to spot as they do their job.

Got to the 6:30 mark to see aerial footage of the battlefield. This is not the main defensive line, of course, but Ukraine was able to push the Russians out of these trenches, which are more fortified than what they have encountered so far. This Youtuber is Ukrainian and he speaks from the side of Ukraine, but he does report when Ukraine has significant loses and setbacks. If you watch the entire video, you will see that even he thinks Ukraine should be careful about pushing too hard at one spot along the line, or they may get too deep and risk being encircled. He even talks about how the Lancet drones have a 70% success rate and how Russia has been effective at jamming the communications of the Ukrainian drones.

I haven't seen how they are clearing the minefields, but they are there and Ukraine has been getting past them. The cluster munitions the U.S. sent over seem to be a game-changer at pushing the Russians back and stopping the counter-attacks, though. I'm still waiting for the annihilation of the Ukrainian forces by the Russian artillery. I remember it being a problem early in the war but Ukraine seems to be out-shelling the Russians now. This being a world-war by proxy now, I'm not sure how either side can win.

In the U.S., they are not supposed to charge you for normal wear and tear, but you will have to take the to court (or at least threaten them) to get your deposit back. You are not responsible for "turning" your old apartment, meaning you should leave it clean out without damage, but you are not responsible for the final cleaning before the next tenant moves in.

The point of the story is that Jack Smith, without whom there wouldn't have been a case brought to the grand jury, had an aide who met with staff from the Biden administration. Trump is currently Biden's main rival for the upcoming election.
