This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

A good lesson that needs to observed here....when Russia collapses we need to help them out to a degree. Both post WWI and post Iraq war shows if you break it, you need to fix it.

The day that Paul Bremer disbanded the Iraqi army was the day we lost. People need income.

Don’t disagree that we need to chart a prudent course, but if Russia collapses they broke themselves. No one broke them.

Agreed. I just don't want nukes getting in bad hands.

Heads up for those that don’t watch it that Erin Burnett on CNN is in Ukraine this week and doing a great job on her 7 pm show. She just did a story on Patriot Missile interception of Russian hypersonic missile this week. She’s now on the frontline walking through an abandoned Russian trench. Respect.

Not an ugly person either, which is nice.

I’d throw myself over her. Of course, she’d eventually figure out there was no air raid going on.

After Bucha, and all the other legit war crimes and carnage we’ve seen I don’t have emotions for Russia soldiers.

I do feel for the ones that did not want to be a part of the war, but were forced to do so. As for the others, not at all.

I think that's one of the stipulations. Then we can reduce ours to a number that isn't insane.

Fog of War is in my top 3 docs of all time. It’s fascinating from start to finish.

I actually have had contact with Errol Morris. I told him I have plenty of Iraq stories to document. His assistant said he is so damn busy I'm down on the list.

Who of the US politicians were on the FSB payroll? Tulsi and Rohrabacher? Who else?

75% of the GOP

"Small morning update Bakhmut . The AFU apparently managed to advance a little north of Klishchiivka about 1 km. Position improvements were also achieved on the northern flank. It is reported that the AFU has increased its mortar fire."

The lack of cruise missiles destroyed makes me ponder a bit. Are they out?

The lack of cruise missiles destroyed makes me ponder a bit. Are they out?

They have been more prone to come out with big cruise/drone assaults in recent months trying to overwhelm defensive capabilities. Also, it seems like they wait for drone shipments to come in from the mullahs.

AP story about incremental gains. Sorry, not the big breakout we all want. Russian defenses are stout, and complex. Morale seems unchanged by last Saturday’s events.

Ukraine aims to wear down and outsmart a Russian army distracted by infighting

Ukrainian forces are attempting to wear down the Russian army and reshape battle lines to create more favorable conditions for a decisive, eastward counteroffensive.

Excellent article. I think the strategy is sound. Would also be helpful to get them ATACMS and F-16s sooner rather than later.

Short but cool IMO.



FWIW-if there are really only around 70 troops over there, they certainly need this help.

Intel suggests they are shooting their best missiles as they produce them in batches of 10-12, while trying to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses with a wave of the Iranian drones, hoping a few of the decent missiles make it through.

Just flight track Russian cargo planes coming from China then add 3-4 days for the next cruise missile attack.

Yup

"Profiteering" = "Neutral" to them.

Which is decidedly NOT "neutral".

Twitter will only let me scan a page or so then throws me out due to the limits I guess.
