Longer, follow up story by the AP as they travelled with Zelensky for 48 hours. You get some real insight into the man who was derided as a lightweight comic before the war. A charge still being leveled by Russian apologists.

No GD tanks yesterday!!

It's probably because the T-54/55 tanks are slow getting into the action. It takes time to spray paint a Z over their WWII insignia's

Wtf, what a hellhole. By comparison Russia is giving Somalia a good name.

Russia just detained a Wall Street Journal reporter on a charge of espionage. I guess they ran out of athletes to exchange for prisoners we have here. WSJ article linked below.

Time to start deporting the Russians in Miami.

This is what I said before. They could have gone down the street and picked up Alex ovechkin and said 'give us Brittany and don't do it again.'

Dated today but may be older. I still have to believe some Russians leave their hatches open when they leave in hopes this happens so they can get out of the war for awhile.

So many open hatches. I wonder if some/many are just abandoned tanks that Ukrainian soldiers open up and then the drones demo the tanks so that personnel aren't put at risk by the detonating ammunition. There seems to be SOOO MANY hatch vids.

Except she was probably quilty of the charges against her.

While the laws in Russia (or any foreign country, TBH) may not jive with what we think of as fair, but they're still real laws. In Singapore, you can be caned for chewing gum in public. If you choose to travel to these shitholes, deal with their laws. If you don't like it, stay home. IMO, if you choose to go to a country that we're in an adversarial relationship with, I find it hard to feel sorry for you if you get picked up on iffy charges. Nobody has to go to Russia, or China, or Singapore, or any of a number of other dangerous countries. FAFO.

Singapore a shit hole? 😂

Hell, the entire country is like a high-end, outdoor mall. Their airport has a literal 5 story waterfall garden in it.

Singapore isn't a shithole unless you chew gum and find yourself in the prison system. Or if you possess drugs. If you're hell bent on chewing gum and smoking weed, you might not want to go there.

Oh, it seems like there is no shortage of abandoned vehicles in Ukraine. They break down easily, the crews aren’t trained, or motivated.

to hit 250K by 7/4, it looks like they need to average 803 KIA per day. Probably unrealistic, but there shouldn't be any problem hitting 200K by Memorial Day.

Offense is harder than defense. Ukraine has home field advantage though. And better equipment. And higher morale. But they need to execute flawlessly and relatively quickly.

The electronic warfare comment is not good. Not good at all....

EW is probably the major component when operating in contested air space.

His analysis tempers things a bit as far as the "counter offensive" goes....

I have been to all three countries multiple times and your characterization is definitely off base for Singapore. It is legal to chew gum there and I have. It is not legal to sell it. Drugs on the other hand can get you the death penalty!

As for not feeling sorry for a journalist shedding light on what is happening? How do you propose we learn about the current situation? You do you, but I for one admire people who go in harms way to bring us the truth.

I wouldn’t mind harsher crimes for littering in the US if it would clean it up. We don’t tend to do much of anything, and many areas (urban, rural, suburban) look like shitholes. I detest litterers.
