On Sunday, the Ukrainian army fired at least four American-made Army Tactical Missile System precision rockets at NIP-16. Fires raged at the site through the night, and Planet satellite imagery from Monday seems to depict blast marks on the ground at the sprawling base.

Scientists surely would cringe at any damage to NIP-16 and its suite of hard-to-replace scientific instruments. Thousands of Soviet naval conscripts built the installation at a time when governments were pouring massive resources into space exploration.

      Are they, though? Libs typically pretend they were on the right side of history after the conflict has ended. Or they just forget about it.

          Maybe I’m offbase, but aren’t most so-called terror attacks in the west precisely that, the pain coming home to roost? And instead of thinking “hmm, I wonder how I could behave differently to help alleviate the perpetrator’s grievance” libs just go straight to “uncultured neanderthal swine did this and they’ll keep doing it until we bring civilization to them.”
