The Javelin Is Wrecking Putin''s Army -- Here''s How the Anti-Tank Weapon Works Authored by Ross Pomeroy via RealClear Science , Ukraine is a highly devout country – about 87% of its 41 million citizens practice Christianity. So it''s notable that, to many Ukrainians, Mary Magdalene now has a new moniker : St. Javelin. St Javelin (left), Ukrainian Defense Ministry / AP (right) via Euronews The viral meme (shown above) recasting the "Apostle of the apostles" is in reverence to a device that knows no religion: the FGM-148 Javelin portable fire-and-forget anti-tank missile. Since the start of Putin''s dastardly invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian freedom fighters have extensively utilized the American-made weapon system – co-produced by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon – to rain destruction down upon the Russian military''s armored vehicles. Ukraine''s Defense Ministry estimates that 102 tanks and 536 armored vehicles had been destroyed as of February 26th. The Javelin likely factored heavily into that rousing combat success. "This weapon allows a single soldier to target and destroy even the most heavily armored main battle tank with an almost guaranteed kill rate, at great range and with minimal risk," Army Capt.

Russians Scramble To Banks As Ruble Hits Record Low

01:54am, Tuesday, 01'st Mar 2022 Newsy
Watch Video Western sanctions against Russia are having a dramatic impact. One ruble is now worth less than one U.S. cent. A week ago, before the invasion, it was at .80 cents. "Putin wants much more than a war-torn piece of Ukrainian land and people living there. What stops him is only our unity and resolve," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said. The sanctions are impacting Russian citizens. As the ruble''s value plummets, inflation in Russia will soar. People are scrambling to pull their money out of banks before the banks run out of money, unable to access foreign currency. There are reports that credit cards are no longer accepted for many with international bank accounts. The sanctions are impacting far more than just President Vladimir Putin. "He and his government are being treated like the pariahs that they are by the entire world community," Rep. Brendan Boyle said. Putin had been stockpiling money for nearly the past decade. He''s had an estimated $600 billion worth kept in reserves, presumably to weather a storm like this.

Biden''s high court choice defies expectations on labor cases

08:55pm, Monday, 28'th Feb 2022 New Haven Register
DETROIT (AP) — Labor unions and worker advocates have applauded President Joe Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court. Yet a look back at Jackson''s decisions in cases involving business and labor suggest that she won’t always rule as they want or expect her to. Though Jackson is widely seen as a liberal on social and economic issues and as a defender of workers’ rights, her decisions, as a federal district court judge and then as a federal appellate judge since last year, defy easy categorization. “She’s as likely to rule for a corporation in a race discrimination claim as she is for the plaintiff,” said Ted Ruger, dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, who served with Jackson on the Harvard Law Review during law school. “Like any judge who follows the law and listens to the evidence in the case, she may disappoint some who always want a predictably liberal outcome.” Out of 40 employment and business-related rulings reviewed by The Associated Press, Jackson ruled for the defendants 30 times since 2013 while serving as a judge on the U.S.

Futures Bounce From Overnight Lows As New Peace Talks Begin

01:09pm, Monday, 28'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Futures Bounce From Overnight Lows As New Peace Talks Begin Global stocks and US futures tumbled on Monday, although they were well off their worst levels as a fresh round of ceasefire talks kicked off on Monday morning offering a glimmer of hope that hostilities will end; sovereign bonds rallied and commodities surged amid heightened uncertainty after a new wave of sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. March contracts on the S&P 500 Index declined as much as 2.9% before trimming losses to 1%, or down 43 points as of 745 a.m. in New York. Futures on the Nasdaq 100 and the Dow were each down 1.4%. European stocks also recovered from an earlier as banks with exposure to Russia led declines, while utilities and defense stocks gained. Oil, natural gas, wheat and palladium jumped, as Brent crude soared to about $103 a barrel on fears of commodity-supply disruptions. Rallies in the dollar, gold and Treasuries underlined the demand for havens. Over the weekend, Western nations agreed on new sanctions to further isolate Russia, by seeking to prevent its central bank from using foreign reserves to blunt sanctions and excluding some Russian lenders from the SWIFT messaging system that underpins trillions of dollars worth of transactions.
