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

The problem is, you more or less have to actually be in the black sea. And these days, no one is getting into the black sea because the bosphorus is closed to naval vessels.
Doesn't matter to me as long as my state benefits its all good.
As long as it helps Iowa the rest of the country and world doesn't matter.
I don't follow the logic of "you need to compromise to a genocidal country who invaded your country and looted and murdered and raped and destroyed civilian infrastructure because their continued actions blockading your sovereign land may produce world hunger. Stop defending yourselves so hard". Should be actually the exact opposite on pressure being placed on Russia by the entire world to stop their illegal blockade.I don't think the majority of folks just how bad this could be...
Ramifications of Putins invasion are going to felt world wide...
Russia's invasion of Ukraine could soon cause a global food crisis that may last for years, the UN has warned.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the war had worsened food insecurity in poorer nations due to rising prices.
Some countries could face long-term famines if Ukraine's exports are not restored to pre-war levels, he added.
The conflict has cut-off supplies from Ukraine's ports, which once exported vast amounts of cooking oil as well as cereals such as maize and wheat.
This has reduced the global supply and caused the price of alternatives to soar. Global food prices are almost 30% higher than the same time last year, according to the UN.
Speaking in New York on Wednesday, Mr Guterres said the conflict - combined with the effects of climate change and the pandemic - "threatens to tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity followed by malnutrition, mass hunger and famine".
Might be the leverage point Putin uses to get Ukraine to come to the table....so he'll try to hang on to what they have until food shortages really hit home. There will probably be a lot of behind the scenes pressure on Ukraine to compromise...

I think a huge part of this besides the obvious is also the pro Russian citizens within have likely shrunk profoundly.
There will be food. Maybe not the food you want but something to eat.
and frankly if Russians are the ones starving…..F’em

Sounds like it failed to make orbit doesn't it-surprising since their manned launches have a good record.
Maybe their military style boosters (my assumption) aren't at the same level.
"Rogozin's military satellite Kosmos-2555 de-orbited yesterday and burned up in the atmosphere According to TASS, on the morning of May 18, 2022, the Russian military satellite Kosmos-2555, which was launched on April 29 using the Angara-1.2 launch vehicle, deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere."
I think they are fairly accurate and allign to reports by Britain they have lost over a 1/3 of their force.
I agree but the reality is if this gets as bad as I think it will, and is predicted.....and Russia remains obstinate...Ukraine will be pressured to compromise and come to the table. I'm not saying that's necessarily correct...I just think that's where it's heading.
Hope I'm wrong.
Well Ukraine should be able to start making significant gains then because those are catastrophic casualty figures.
Looking for his daily argument, Joe’s consistency never fails...
All that does is remove one more swimmer from the shallow end of the Russky gene pool.
All the intelligence says they will, in fact the intelligence even says they're likely going to take back all the land prior to 2014. That said, it's going to take a while as it's really difficult to root someone out of entrenched areas without massive air power. Even then, it's hard to fight in urban areas, especially those of yours where your own civilians are being used as shields for the invaders. You can't just blindly bomb the city (Unless you're Russia and don't care) so you're going to have to slowly push them back and just keep taking out what you can in ancillary battles until their numbers and resolve do completely dwindle.
Russia has stopped trying to move forward and put themselves into dangerous positions with unprotected supply lines easily destroyed. Now they're just trying to sit back and entrench themselves into the areas they've taken. That's going to be much easier to sustain even with dwindling resources. They still have enough to hold land, at least for a while. Their ability to move forward is done, but holding onto land I think they can do for at least a few more months.

He has f$&k you money. That's all. Nothing wrong with using it. I do question why he would declare he's voting republican, that'll cost him more than anything. You're a perfect example. Had he not done that, there would be no reason to question his sanity.
What deliveries...I kid Olaf. It is just heavy equipment you can't seem to give up. Mainly because you can't find stuff that works because Germany failed to maintain an army for decades.
Leopard 2's are quality tanks....germans can make some really good armored vehicles.
For the most part in Iowa, every bit of land that is tillable is already being farmed aside from ground that is in government conservation reserve programs (CRP) under state/federal contracts. The government would likely have to do something to amend those agreements to allow farming these chunks of ground (temporarily?) without any penalties associated with the programs.
