A couple of weeks back, I had posted 2 videos, one from the Ukie side and one from the Rus side of SP guns playing cat-n-mouse shoot and scoot tactics in the autumn mud over there.

Knowing the great brain trust of Sniffy, Blinken or Nod, Jake the Skinny Snake, Bad hair day BoJo, Loser Liz and the other mental midgets running the U.S. and U.K. governments, I suspect it was the latter. Although I trust the current generation of intel services about as far as I can collectively throw them. More economic mayhem to come as it truly gets into winter, both over there and probably here.
