WSJ article on how Ukrainians are coping with the reduced power in Kyiv.
Basically they are figuring out how to make it work but a struggle.
Putin is getting older and after such a defeat, I am not so worried that he will be back if Russia is completely kicked out.
Russia being back, that is a different story. Same basic government left in place but a new strongman on top does not bode well.
Decent chance the whole federation falls...
Zero intention of changing my posting style.
Updates (short articles) on NYT iOS app have no share icon to give a link. I have already linked to update “thread” in the past and it scrolls.
So I quoted the actual article and stated the source and date (today).
There is no forum rule that links...
“
Here’s what we know:
Ukrainians in Kherson were celebrating Russia’s retreat but also told visiting New York Times journalists they feared Moscow would strike back.”
From NYT today. Is it ok if Ukrainians in Kherson express this concern as well or do they get scolded for “doom and gloom”...
Water is more a concern than electricity. If you can heat up a room even for an hour, you can partially seal it and keep warm through the night. I have been out camping in the ice and snow often enough to know that staying warm enough is not that hard.
Water to drink and for toilets /...
Unfortunately I expect the Russians to pretty immediately start shelling Kherson and turn it into even more of a ruin than their occupation made it.
Won’t stop until they are defeated across all of Ukraine and a peace deal is reached.
I am guessing that next up is pressuring the coastal areas...

The lead of this story is Kherson, but there is also a discussion about large Russian casualties in the East.
Because there were a series of posts about the big Russian losses and when I went looking for something on it, instead I saw that the NYT was talking about Russian advances.
Ukraine is losing troops there as well. I assume since it is so non-strategic, that they are so actively defending...
There is no verification to the CNN quoted price and they are all purchased from an unidentified UK company (the ones with the higher price quoted). Seems like incomplete reporting to me.
There are different rates for different types of service. You cannot compare a fixed location personal service to what a military unit may be doing.
I know, now he is viewed as a “right wing” guy, so he is bad bad bad. But this thread is going well beyond what was in the article.
I lived in Singapore for 3 years and found the city great (still find it great). Lots of things to do and plenty of local color.
I preferred Bangkok for just going out and having fun.
Taipei is pretty good as well. Tokyo I went 10+ times and not quite as good for me.
That whole area will be...
At the risk of not being Ukraine, I visited Hong Kong so often that I have a frequent visitor barcode that allows me to use the residents line at immigration. I have not been their since Covid started and the really big changes are only the last couple of years so I have not seen the new...
