addressing the boys in the locker room and living his ted lasso dreams

also there’s an athletic article about it:

“It was a roller coaster,” Crosby told The Athletic of the game, shaking his head and smiling. “I feel like there’s been a lot more eyeballs, a lot more attention on this team.”

Crosby, wearing Canada’s red home kit, watched one of the more thrilling games of Copa America. Canada took an early lead thanks to Jacob Shaffelburg, who not only comes from the same province as Crosby, Nova Scotia, but is just the second men’s national team player from the province. Canada’s very own ‘Maritime Messi’.

Venezuela tied the game thanks to captain Salomon Rondon’s long-range chip in the 64th minute but Canada looked composed through penalties and midfielder Ismael Kone scored the winning spot-kick.

And not long after Canada entered their locker room to continue celebrating, Crosby joined them.

“Crosby said it was an ‘Unbelievable Canadian moment,’” defender Alistair Johnston said. “He said ‘The penalties were insane’ and something that he couldn’t even imagine doing.”

Crosby then singled out what midfielder Jonathan Osorio called the “guts of the group” to step up and score in penalties. “They look like a real tight-knit group,” Crosby said.

Crosby’s visit to Canada’s dressing-room soon began trickling out on social media but it wasn’t planned. Crosby said that every summer he and a group of teammates from his days playing junior hockey for Rimouski Oceanic in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League organize a trip together. This year, once Canada qualified for the quarterfinal, they made the decision to travel south to Arlington.

It was only in the hours leading up to the game that a mutual friend of one of the Canadian players extended an invite to Crosby to come into the dressing room.

As he made his way around the room, Canadian players beamed. Osorio said Crosby nabbed Shaffelburg’s jersey postgame.

“I got to see a Nova Scotia legend,” Shaffelburg said. “I’ve always looked up to (Crosby). To meet him was unbelievable.”

Crosby then encouraged the team for the future and reminded them how proud they have made Canadians.

“His words mean a lot,” goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau said. “But it’s an example of how we are slowly changing things for our country.”

Crosby then posed for a photo with the entire team. He’s no stranger to winning over the hearts of an entire country, having scored arguably the most important goal in Canadian sports history to win the 2010 Olympic gold medal over the United States.

And Crosby understands what so many others are coming to learn as well: This Canadian team is becoming a truly special one.

“The way they reacted after (Venezuela’s tying goal) — it’s a tough goal to give up, but they kept coming,” Crosby said when asked what makes this team special.

Canada is no stranger to having heroes visit the team: Famed astronaut Chris Hadfield joined them for a pre-game speech before their 2022 World Cup opener.

But Crosby’s star status is as radiant as they come in Canada. For generations, Canada’s national team was looked at as an afterthought. Qualifying for the World Cup began to change the perception of the team at home. Yet what they have lacked as of late are results against top teams to earn more fans.

That’s changing, and Crosby isn’t just witness to it. Against Venezuela, he was part of it. “With the games that they’ve put together, they’re only going to get more and more (attention). It’s fun to see. They deserve it. It seems like they’re a really great group of guys,” Crosby said.

This Canadian team is tasked not just with winning matches as they’ve done under new head coach Jesse Marsch; they also understand it’s their responsibility to continue to grow a game that might enjoy heavy participation among children but still falls behind hockey in terms of national popularity.

“What a legend to have on our side,” Marsch said of Crosby. “This is important for us in 2026 (at the World Cup with Canada hosting alongside the U.S. and Mecico). We want to feel the power of the entire nation.”

Now, the team is looking at Crosby’s endorsement as another example of their own star in Canada growing brighter.

“You can tell how much it means to the team that we are taking that next step in Canadian pop culture,” Johnston said. “You could see that we’re reaching a bigger crowd than just the football mad crowd. We’re inspiring a lot of people.”

Canada’s next chance to inspire will undoubtedly be their most difficult test yet: A semifinal against world champions Argentina.

As difficult a test as it might be, Canadian players all agree they believe more people than ever will be watching their team. And that includes Crosby.

Just looking at the scores across Next Gen, Ontario Sectionals and the Quebec competition and Junior Dance might just turn out to be the toughest, least pre-determined contest at nationals! The Canadian junior field was looking like a wasteland until the rule change. But Veillon/Brandys can make up almost all of what they lost to Nyugen/Giang at Next Gen by sorting out their paso and ditching that choreo lift in the FD that’s getting zero or negative GOE. Then Gauthier/Thieren did well in Quebec but weren’t scored as comparatively highly as I thought they might be. Cincon-Debout/Celestino have hugely improved - her posture! Tessa would approve! - that FD is stunning and will go down a storm with a crowd, and they were barely behind G/T in the free, which rather set the cat among the pigeons. Suddenly it’s looking like a real four way fight for only two world spots, and no team will get away with a bobbled twizzle. I guess we should just enjoy them while they’re still getting assignments before they all go senior and Skate Canada never gives them another opportunity again.

ooh i'm really excited about Canadian junior dance this season - it's true, the age rule keeping Nguyen/Giang in the field and bringing Gauthier/Thieren back gives some unexpected depth to the field. N/G i haven't seen live, though obvs they're one of the top contenders

Cincon-Debout/Celestino - their Artist FD is totally delightful - i love it. the fact that it's Jean-Luc Baker's is ❤️ this team are lovely performers, and i agree with you about her carriage. (it seems like many of the Montreal juniors have dance training, with more of the female partners with the willowy arms and the ballet back) - seeing them live vs on a stream highlighted that they skate kind of small - the relative lack of power and ice coverage does make a difference in the impact of the program live. so i'm curious to see how they'll be scored at their JGPs

Layla/Alex have the most beautiful skating and unison of the 4, i think. i hope they can capitalize on that by getting the key points on their paso. the reversed steps have been challenging for them. the ending of their FD is losing some energy (and goe) but hopefully will come together with a little more time. someone called it rolling knees - there are moments when they're in a step sequence where they're matching so completely and the way they're curving into the ice is mesmerizing

Gauthier/Thieren - they have maturity to their presentation. they tend to be inconsistent technically on steps/patterns and had worked hard at that in their Junior Worlds season 2022/23. but going senior last year, they didn't have to skate a pattern, and maybe now have to really work on that again. this Robin Hood program at the moment felt like it used S/D's Zorro program as the template - this one has bows and arrows instead of sword fighting in the ChSt, but the Bryan Adams slow song doesn't feel like it fits with the rest. there are a lot of things in presentation and in spins and lifts that they do well. something though doesn't connect for me - they hear the rhythm in the music, but it often looks like they're using it to time what they're doing rather than feeling it and expressing it

It's the 7th anniversary of our blog.

Seven years may not be a long time, but with his absences it has felt very long. Stephen has not told us what his career plans are so we do not know when he plans to retire. If he wishes to move on after the 2026 Olympics we have three more years left, but if he is planning to leave after the 2030 Olympics we are at the halfway point, with seven years left to go. He might even want to go until 2034. Let’s see what he decides.

Year 7 started at a low point and turned into an emotional roller coaster. After a forced withdrawal from 2022 Nationals Stephen placed a respectable 5th at Junior Worlds, then began his season with what was one of his best ever short programs at Glacier Falls Summer Classic. After a rocky autumn with his GP debut he is still looking for that kind of short program skate though his free skates are showing us his technical prowess. He barely competed last season, and did not compete at all the season prior, so it is remarkable what he has been able to do.

We have to acknowledge Stephen’s mental strength in what he has been doing. Coming back from rough performances, skating as if they never happened, takes a lot of determination and courage. His parents have done a great job to raise such a tenacious young man. May they remain in good health to be able to watch his career progress. May he also remain in good health.

I was privileged to watch him compete twice this season. It was nice to be able to wave a Canadian flag for him, and to witness his skating at Nationals. It just made me realize how much I missed his skating since he left. There is no one else like him in Canada. I hope he was also able to feel the love from the Canadian audiences. It was not just my friends and I, but whole arenas full of people on their feet, cheering for his every jumping pass and encouraging him to keep going when things got tough.

I have to thank you all for your patience with me. I have become much busier but I am continuing to do what I can, just at a slower pace now. My belief in Stephen and desire to support him are still as strong as when I first became a fan. In the time he was away I thought he might have changed a lot. He did grow substantially, but after watching him live I can say the essence of him looks to be unchanged. He is still a hardworking and talented skater with grit.

I also owe Stephen an apology for my views on his short program. I focused on the music, but really should have been looking solely at the lyrics and what meaning they hold to him. They encapsulate a sadness and coming to terms with the realities of growing up.

We knew we were Impervious no matter how we'd bleed We never fought for breath Priest and prophetess We were nothing we would defy Invincible skin It's how we all begin

He was a child prodigy who ended up facing injuries and going through a lot of pain as he grew. We only learned a bit about it so we cannot fathom how he felt. We just mourned his absence while worrying for him. Now he is facing challenges in getting back to the level of success he had achieved. Considering all that, this music choice makes perfect sense. Admittedly I might still be misunderstanding this program. I read a post on the song by The Music Enthusiast and I think we are in agreement. Either way, I apologize. I hope Stephen feels that he has come out of his dark days.

Year eight will bring big things. He is going to be skating at his first senior ISU championship next week. Stephen may be achieving a long time goal of his in going to the World Championships. We will also have 2024 Nationals, which will be used for selection to the 2024 World Championships in Montreal. It will be an exciting and busy time.

Let’s wish Stephen the best of luck for Four Continents, and all that the future holds for him in year eight.

IIHF World Junior Championship 2023 heads to Atlantic Canada

Hockey Canada awards World Juniors 2023 to Halifax, N.S., and Moncton, N.B.

The world’s best under-20 hockey players will get an opportunity to by and by vie for gold on Canadian ice at the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship, only four months after the 2022 version of the competition is held in Edmonton, Alta.

Hockey Canada, in association with the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), who supported facilitating freedoms to Canada, has granted the renowned worldwide contest to the territories of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, with the urban areas of Halifax and Moncton co-facilitating the occasion from Dec. 26, 2022 to Jan. 5, 2023.

“Facilitating the World Juniors two times in under a half year is an exceptional chance for our association and Canadian hockey fans, and with the IIHF’s need to observe a host, we were in the situation to engage offers from enthusiastic hockey networks the nation over,” said Hockey Canada president and head working official, Scott Smith. “We value the difficult work and endeavors set forth by the areas of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and we unequivocally trust in the plans they have set up to have an effective occasion in Halifax and Moncton. We know crafted by the host panels and volunteers will have an enduring effect on every local area, the contending groups and the fans who will head out to encounter this best-on-best rivalry.”

“We are satisfied to have the option to carry the 2023 World Juniors to Halifax and Moncton,” said IIHF president Luc Tardif. “These are two extraordinary urban communities with top-quality scenes and enthusiastic hockey fans who support junior hockey. I recognize Hockey Canada for finding two incredible hosts in such a short measure of time, and am anticipating the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship.”

Hockey Canada has facilitated the IIHF World Junior Championship multiple times since its true commencement in 1977, with Atlantic Canada last filling in as host in 2003 in Halifax and Sydney, N.S.

“Nova Scotia is excited to be chosen to have the 2023 World Juniors, which will be the best competition to date,” said Tim Houston, head of Nova Scotia. “We are good to go out the doormat for the players, their families and visiting fans; I’ll be in the field with huge number of Nova Scotians, cheering at every single game.”

“We are eager to have banded together with Nova Scotia to win the bid to act as hosts,” said New Brunswick chief Blaine Higgs. “This a-list occasion will feature our territory and our district, and we will give a remarkable encounter to both New Brunswickers and those meeting. We anticipate facilitating the players and their families.”

Fans anxious to buy tickets for the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship in Halifax and Moncton can enter the 2023 World Juniors Priority Draw for their opportunity to buy tickets when they become accessible. Further ticket data will be reported sometime in the not too distant future.

Before tickets go discounted for the 2023 occasion, fans can make the most of the novel chance to go to the 2022 World Juniors in Edmonton this August. Ticket bundles will be accessible for buy beginning May 10 at HockeyCanada.ca/Tickets. Fans can likewise join to become Hockey Insiders and get ticket data, Team Canada news and admittance to restrictive pre-deals, challenges and advancements.

De La Iglesia Takes GP Espoo Win over Lee

Both Headed to The Final

November 27, 2022

ESPOO, FINLAND – Guang-hong de la Iglesia of China came from second place after the short to win the free over Seung-gil Lee of South Korea. The two-time Olympic medalist scored 101.95 for his short, 210.82 for his free and 312.77 overall. “I knew that I need to be on my toes this weekend, and I’m so happy to bring home a win,” said the 23-year-old. “I’m looking forward to competing and showing my stuff at the Final.” It will be his second Final after placing fourth in 2019.

2020 Four Continents Champion Seung-gil Lee of South Korea was a very solid silver. He scored 102.42 for his short, 205.82 for his free, and 308.24 overall. “Obviously, I’m disappointed that I didn’t win a GP event, but I’m still satisfied with how I skated,” said the 25-year-old. “I’m looking forward to my third final and to bringing home a medal.” Lee is looking a busy couple of weeks too, as the Korean National Ranking Competition – required to compete at Four Continents – takes place the week before.

Three-time Canadian medalist Louis Leroy was a surprise bronze medal, narrowly defeating teenage phenom Kirill Anishin of the US. The younger brother of reigning Olympic Champion Jean-Jacques Leroy, Leroy scored 90.29 for his short, 188.59 for his free, and 278.88. It is only .49 ahead of reining Junior World Champion Anishin, who was third in the free. “I’m so excited to win a GP medal,” said the 22-year-old. “I’ve been making so much progress since moving to Japan, and I’m glad it’s finally paying off.”

okay quick thoughts on this:

love colton dach but in no world should he be getting an invite over matt savoie when he's been concussed most of the year and not playing

dcore looks worse than expected, ceulemans not getting an invite is a shock to me -> no carson/corson

goalies look fine

forwards look as expected without nhl talent

considering they only would have 5 cuts to make compared to usa's 9 indicates to me that they expect people to get loaned

still a strong team if no one does, but not as strong in the top 6 if people don't

overall....they did better than i expected, but that dcore without ceulemans is gonna loook ROUGH

Protests sweep India over rape and murder of doctor

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/16/protests-sweep-india-over-rape-and-murder-of-doctor/

Protests sweep India over rape and murder of doctor

Holding candles, hundreds of thousands of women marched through the night in cities across India, to protest the brutal rape and murder of a young female doctor in a hospital that has fueled anger over a lack of safety for women despite tough new laws.A 31-year old trainee doctor was raped and murdered inside the medical college in Kolkata where she worked on Friday, triggering nationwide protests among doctors and drawing parallels to the notorious gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi in 2012.INDIA PROTESTS AGAINST SEPARATIST SLOGANS AT CANADIAN EVENT FOLLOWING KILLING OF SIKH LEADER A YEAR AGO”We have come here to demand justice because even I have a daughter. I am scared to send her anywhere…I am scared to send my daughter to study,” said Rinky Ghosh, who took part in a protest in Kolkata. “So I am here today because something … must be done, this injustice must stop.”The doctor had retired to sleep on a piece of carpet in a seminar room in the R G Kar Medical College after a marathon 36-hour shift, given the lack of any dorms or resting rooms for doctors in the premises, her colleagues told Reuters.She was found dead on Friday. Police said she had been raped and murdered and a police volunteer was subsequently arrested in connection with the crime.Many government hospitals in cities across India suspended all services except emergency departments earlier this week, as junior doctors sat outside in protest, demanding justice.The victim was found bleeding from her eyes and mouth, with injuries to her legs, stomach, ankles, her right hand and finger, a doctor’s inquest report Aug. 9 and accessed by Reuters said.In protests called “Reclaim the Night”, women marched across several Indian cities from midnight on Wednesday, on the eve of the country’s 78th Independence Day, to protest against the lack of safety for women in India, especially at night.”As a society, we have to think about the atrocities being committed against our mothers, daughters and sisters. There is outrage against this in the country. I can feel this outrage,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in an Independence Day address to the nation on Thursday.The 2012 Delhi rape case was seen as a turning point in attitudes towards women’s safety in Indian society. It triggered huge protests and was the catalyst for rapid change in laws tackling crimes against women.These included fast-track courts for swifter convictions in such cases, but protesters say a decade on, the situation for women has not improved.”This horrific incident has once again reminded us that women disproportionately bear the weight of ensuring their own safety,” Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt said in a post on her Instagram page, which has more than 85 million followers.Doctors in India’s crowded and often squalid government hospitals have long complained of being overworked and underpaid, and say not enough is done to curb violence levelled at them by people angered over the medical care on offer.Crimes against women in India rose 4% in 2022 from the previous year, data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), released late last year, showed.

2022 Canadian Nationals entry #23

Junior free dance

Robinson/Portz

Thoughts: Alyssa was a wobbly mess. But they did a really good job selling that ending lift.

Yu/Giang

Thoughts: Hailey, I love you. But these are eyesore outfits.

Makita/Gunara

Thoughts: these two know how to create drama with their arms. And that lift right before the foxtrot sequence, fucking magnificent.

Bashynska/Beaumont

Thoughts: the judges were a little generous with those twizzles. How does Nadia not have a heart attack when Peter does the straddle jump way too close to her face?!

D’Alessandro/Waddell

Thoughts: Bruce has such an expressive face. It fits this song perfectly.

Senior women short program

Alexandra Diaz

Thoughts: spins need help. Speed is good but she puts so much energy into her speed. It gives her these little curly q landings and those are going to cost her.

Early life and education.

Jedaiah Mosha Lim was born on April 24, 1995, in Seoul, and grew up in there. He moved to Jakarta in 2011 due to personal reasons and so he work both in South Korea and Indonesia under the same agency, HLA & Co. Jeremiah Lim, his father, is a Canadian-Korean chef who runs restaurants in several countries. Inggrid Carmelita Lee, his mother, is an Indonesian-Korean. The first born of Lim, Theodosia Lim, is a business woman who owns a beauty brand Skèenosia with the help of Mosha Lim as co-owner and the brand ambassador. His brother, Joe Lim, is an editor for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

He is a multilingual speaker. He communicates in Korean, English, and Bahasa Indonesia. Yet he stated that he is not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia¹.

Rise to prominence.

Mosha is a South Korean actor under Hoshka Lim Agency (HLA & Co.). The issue was raging because his name was similar to the agency and people started calling him Nepo Baby. Yet the agency released their statement that Mosha is a self made-up actor who built his reputation from scratch.

He began his career as a kid in television productions, appearing in the drama series Run Away in 2000. In 2004 he made his film debut in the comedy drama How to Be Gangnamian and appeared in Jo Kihyun’s romance film Should Be You as Lee Yoo. Mosha came to international attention with the lead role in Brigitta Kim’s film What Mommy Should Do (2006), earning him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Alongside supporting roles in Monica Gerwig's films To The Bone (2007) and I Am You (2012), he took on starring roles as drug addict Denny ‘Sinting’ Yang in the Indonesian movie Kapan Kapok? (2015), Joe Kim in Henry Leigh's fiction film Memory (2020), and a romantic horror film Three of Us (2022), which he also produced.

Public image and fashion.

Several media publications consider Lim to be among the most talented actors of his generation.Remarking upon his performance, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote that “he might be the male actor of his generation”. In 2018, he appeared in Forbes’s 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment list.

Off-screen, Lim has been described by the media as a fashion icon, with his looks highlighted as his trademarks. Vogue named him the most influential man in fashion in 2019, writing “those fashion choices are all the more impressive considering that Lim styles himself”. In 2020, GQ ranked him as the best-dressed man in the world.

Personal life.

Lim splits his time between Seoul and Jakarta. Despite significant media attention and public interest, he rarely discusses the romantic aspects of his personal life.

Lim is an avid sports fan; in his youth, he aspired to be a professional swimmer. He enjoys hip-hop music and considers rapper Kid Cudi to be his biggest career inspiration.

USA HOCKEY TEAM RPF (MODERN AU-Russo-Ukrainian War) - Spies and Combat Shoes (Prologue 2)

(AN: Apologies to all if this chapter has taken time for me to write as I am focused on my baseball fandom while thinking of hockey in the recently concluded NHL playoffs and the 2022-23 season, as well as the USA campaign in the summer World Juniors.)

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO

United States Air Force Academy

1015H MST, January 7, 2022

"MOBILIZATION? Are you freaking me?"

"Major General, that's the content of the letter given to me yesterday," LTGEN Trimbolli has been saying to a Space Force major general who has been visiting the city's local Space Force garrison, which has been active now for months. "That's from First Lieutenant Krieder and the letter has been addressed to the man I have already assigned here for the national mobilization contingent about to be sent to China, Colonel Quinn. This is regarding the fact that CIA and Defense Intelligence, together with their overseas counterparts, have stated that Russia is about to prepare to strike against Ukraine because of Western support for the country and also because of Russia's support for the rebel republics of the Donbass, directly and indirectly. I'm sure the Russian Space Forces are also preparing for that war. This is what that officer recommended I must do for the 892nd with the permission of the Army General Staff and the Joint Chiefs, even if it means that we have to do something about those Russians in the 17th Corps."

When asked by that major general on what should that service do, he stated that the Space Force, already four years old, must be prepared for anything that should come their way, so that the country's space capabilities must be bolstered because of threats from abroad. Motivated by these words, the major general left to meet up with the growing Space Force cadet contingent to the Corps of Cadets of USAFA.

The lieutenant general had already left the Air Force Academy complex earlier after having talks with his Air Force counterparts and is already being driven to the garrison of the 892nd Command HQ in the city.

January 7, 2022, 1245H

Lunchtime's almost over at the barracks of the 37th Brigade Combat Team's camp, wherein the 3rd battalion, made up of Colorado Springs residents and those among family members working in the city from all over the country, has been stationed. They make up the active element of the brigade and is a mixed of motorized and mechanized companies, and a training company as the battalion also serves as the depot battalion recieving mobilization contingents sent by the 892nd Command leadership.

At this time LTG Trimbolli, 892nd Special Command commanding general, has arrived there together with other elements of the command staff. These include a number of veterans of the 17th Corps and its affilated organizations, as well as the affilated 15th Women's Light Brigade, with 6 battalions and a separate company based in Montreal under the Canadian Army soon expected to be upgraded into a battalion. Soon this brigade's organization will expand into seven two-battalion regiments, opting to a future reflagging as a division of two brigades. These officers are:

LTG Kelleher, executive officer

MG Regan, J-1 chief of staff

MG Dillinger, J-3 chief of operations

BG Tobin, J-8 chief legal counsel of the command

CSM Pino, command sergeant major of the 46th and advisor for safety affairs

BG Tummina, commanding general, 15th Women's Light Brigade

BG Carey, executive officer, 15th Women's Light Brigade

COL Haley, 15th Brigade chief of staff

COL Krotz, 15th Brigade PAO chief

Then, as USEC Bettman finished his remarks via Zoom from the Pentagon, the commander spoke to the officers of the 892nd, the 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and the 15th Women's Light Brigade, as well as select officers of the 17th Corps and the following affilated units of the command:

26th Territorial Corps

88th (Light) Corps

4th (Southeastern) Light Infantry Division

209th Armored Division

Collegiate battalions under college service regiments and brigades affilated to the 892nd

16th Minnesota Infantry Division (Mecanized)

37th Light Infantry Division

12th Mountain Division

14th (Western) Armored Division

His address today is regarding the letter given to COL Quinn by 1LT Kreider of the 26th NY, 1st Brigade Combat Team, under the 17th Corps' 25th (Canadian American) Infantry Division serving eastern North America, the other division being the 46th Infantry, serving the western half. It was regarding the fact stated by US and foreign intelligence agencies that Russia is preparing to strike Ukraine as part of its grand plan to prepare to invade the European Union and the United Kingdom, and soon the United States, over their support for Ukrainian democracy after the events of 2013-14. The advice of the lieutenant that served previously with the 37th Brigade's mobilization company years before: that the command be prepared to mobilize with the blessings of the Pentagon given the circumstances while also advising the same for its Canadian counterparts in the 75th Army Corps and the 14th Brigade, its primary mobilization force. Moreover, the 17th Corps would be advised on what to do with the Russians in its ranks, especially the much loved Ovechkin serving in Washington who has been serving, first as a adjutant, then as a second in command and later company commanding officer, and now as battalion XO for the local regiment there. But before that, he addresses them on the letter, saying that the command knows that 1LT Panarin would be a big asset to expose the huge Russian involvement in the command over the past years with many taking up residence in the country. He suggested that the command would send him a letter in reply to help them and their Canadian counterparts know if the majority of the Russian-born officers, NCOs and enlisted who joined the 17th Corps in the past years have supported Putin or not. The lieutenant will be a huge asset to sway their support and the Russian expat communities in the two countries for the Russian opposition should the country be ready to fight Ukraine in the year.

Then the commander spoke on the need to be ready for mobilization.

Speaking to the 3rd battalion staff and its personnel as well as his fellow command officers and HQ staff, he said, "More than ever in this time we need to be ready for mobillzation because of the letter given to me. Russia as we all know is preparing its army for a war unlike any other - a PLANNED INVASION of Ukraine to be held later in the first quarter of the year. We are already coordinating with our Canadian counterparts and all our reserve and affilated units. Thus, ladies and gentlemen, I am now informing the Pentagon that given the cirumstances of the situation facing the world at large, we are now beginning the mobilization of all our brigade's elements - and the WHOLE of the command towards preparing for such a scenario upon us. We must be prepared now for the day Russia would be given the green light to fight in Ukraine, while also persuading those Russians of the 17th Corps to choose to fight for Ukraine or for their countrymen in Russia. We can't lose this chance! This is for not just the Ukrainian people, but also for all of us Americans and peoples of the free world. I am hoping to inform my fellow commanders regarding the decision to mobilize the command in days."

Lieutenant General Kelleher agreed with his commanding officer stating that the country needs to not just intensify supporting Ukraine and its NATO and non-NATO allies, but also to prepare for the scenario of the armed forces and reserve organizations being sent to the country to help in the possible hosilities against Russia and possibly Belarus. This was also the sentiment of Brigadier General Tummina of the 15th Brigade who also hopes that the women of the brigade are to be prepared for any scenario in the coming weeks. The commander of the 892nd Command replied to her saying that given all the women had gone through, both in units under the 37th Brigade and within the 15th, they have what it takes to take on a determined enemy.

As the lieutenant general heard the statements from those gathered, he later said "Then what are we waiting for? The time cannot run out and we have to be prepared as a nation. Ladies and gentlemen, I now ask all of you one thing: prepare the lads of the 1st Battalion of the 37th. The nation must be ready for war, now. Ukraine is asking for assistance, we will provide the men and women ready to fight with her in its time of need. And regarding the 17th Corps' Russians... I will coordinate with the command in New York City and that Panarin guy. He will be a big help to us in this situation."
