He is doing prety well with uniting the west against Russia for a demented man.
Yea, that demented man, spoke for at least 15 minutes extemporaneously i.e. no notes or teleprompter to our troops deployed in Poland this morning. Yet, he had no political grievances to salt into that talk. How disappointing.

Totally part of plan. Now get back to destroying everything in the east so broke ass Putin can rebuild it.

Dang, just came to post that! I suppose Russia will keep up the pressure on the northern cities for now, to help in negotiations. I think they are giving up on Mykolaiv and Odessa, leaving the UA to put pressure on Kherson (though I doubt Russia wants to lose that Oblast). Why they are continuing on in Chernihiv and Sumy is beyond me (well, why they even attacked on those fronts isn't logical). Kyiv and Kharkiv is plenty of pressure in the north. They have too many units 'stuck' up north for now to aid in securing Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and the Kherson Oblasts (for a complete land-bridge). Russia will need a treaty to hold those regions, which seems unlikely at this point.

So, the grind continues God bless the Ukrainian people, and the poor Russian soldiers that are giving their lives for one man's ego-maniacal need to 'make Russia great again'.

I really hope they get a chance to take Mariupol back soon, and get those poor refugees some relief, as well as cutting that land bridge in half.

First order of business in that is cutting off Russian supply lines. If the Ukrainians can defeat the Russians at Kherson and get across the river they can threaten the rail links from Crimea that Russia is depending on for that side of the southern offensive.

I said a hundred pages back or so that Ukraine should settle on nothing less than pre-invasion borders. All of Crimea, all of the Donbas, full stop.
Over 200 pages back:
If Putin is having this much trouble with Ukraine I think taking on NATO at the same time would end Russia as we know it. It's likely a lot more of the remaining world would join in as well.

Once Putin's army crawls home I hope Ukraine takes back Crimea for the trouble. Maybe kick the shit out of Belarus for good measure.

I wonder how long Putin can go before someone close to him takes him out. Too many in the Russian leadership have too much to lose with him hanging on. When the mafia whack one of their own, usually the closest, most trustworthy person to the target is tasked to do the job.

It seems he doesn't have anyone close to him.

Which is worse to them? Losing 15,000 troops, 6 generals, 500 tanks, and do so, and so on? Or becoming more or less a laughing stock and no longer considered a world superpower?

Not sure if this has been posted, but this is amazing.

“On Thursday afternoon, the head of the radiation, chemical, and biological defense department of the Russian Armed Forces dropped some bombshell news: Hunter Biden had funded the Pentagon’s “military-biological program” in Ukraine.

Igor Kirillov backed up his explosive claim with a color-coded spider diagram featuring pictures of Biden alongside a smiling George Soros and links to the Democrat Party and multiple U.S. government departments. What he didn’t back it up with was any actual evidence.”

"You're not allowed to ask questions about this" as he asks questions about this on one of the most watched TV channels in the solar system.

I'm pretty sure Trump was in the room when he had hookers piss on the Kenyan Muslim's bed. Oh, you mean military action. They don't call him Private Bone Spurs for nothing.

Beau seems to think that Ukraine can actually win this thing on conventional means…

Can you see that? Russian forces kicked the fuck back where they came from?
That carries its own scary scenario… but… it is what it is… Fuck em.

There's this thing about trust issues whenever it comes to dictators having to keep their underlings from thinking that no one person in an organization is irreplaceable. Of course as we all know, a fragile balance is usually struck that revolves around spreading enough of the spoils to keep the help from revolting while the leader, be he a mob boss or autocrats of stature like Putin lives a life of a unique kind of loneliness where due to their own visions of grandeur, the innate urge to micromanage every single thing they think will affect their rule juxtaposed against their inability to accurately predict their futures.

Well, it's a heavy burden they carry that can only be matched by the girth of their megalomania, the sheer will of personality and the will to keep what's theirs and theirs alone.

Beats me why anyone would want to get themselves trapped into a life like that. I guess greed is just that much of an pull on some folks.

The problem isn’t the party, it’s the people. You ‘kill’ the Republican Party and another one just like it will take its place.

If Rs disappeared tomorrow, D's would split into two half's the day after tomorrow.

If a new right wing party replaces the GOP, it's likely more extreme, not less. If the GOP dies and the D's split, one or both become seriously infiltrated by Republicans. The best way forward isn't destruction but creation. Join the rest of the civilized world by having more than two viable political parties.

Using “Private” as his indicated rank implies he made it to actual military while cadet implies wanna-be status.

Putin obviously has people skills.

So did Hitler.

They position themselves within the social heirarchy. No one lives in a vacuum.


So the not so little tyrant threatens armageddon and blows up civilians.
A step backwards to familiar territory . I think this is a step backwards for human evolution .

That seems just as inaccurate considering he never wanted to enlist that I know of. Maybe General Bone Spurs since he is smarter than all of the other generals anyway.

beau did a vid about the only thing that makes sense of the dereliction in leadership.
they believed their own propaganda and went in treating it as a parade exercise.

all his videos are of him talking to the camera in front of diy shelves with horrible lighting. How does he have 630k subs?!
