Indeed. We all see the stupid tripe you keep cluttering up this thread with cat lady

The Politico Class has never met a catastrophe they couldn't try to milk for personal gain.

Wise action would say at least act unified until this is over, then air your dirty laundry following the post-mortem. But we aren't led by the wise.

You were literally doing the same thing earlier in the thread.

You are the biggest hypocrite on this board.

If you do not already know the answer to that question, it is because you do not want to know. My guess is that you are pathologically incapable of learning, so I won't waste my time.

Please stop pretending Biden is a great President. He's not. And before you go off on a "but Trump" rant, neither was he. Stop letting political labels make your decisions for you. Let's deal with reality, not the fantasy world some partisans seem to live in.

Send in Rittenhouse.

No, we need him here at home killing commies instead.

This is America. We elect the least qualified people possible. Hell, just look at our Congress, both sides of the aisle. I think we took "you can be anything you want to be" too far. We need to stop electing idiots, but they seem to be the only ones that run for office.

This has to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest military miscalculation in modern history.

Fox is struggling to find their angle on this one.

yeah, I'll be one of the first hit, and my mom and dad are sitting on top of a stock pile. So, we will all go. I am having troubles dealing with it obviously, but I don't want to think about it rn. I'm going to do something else.

 

[NorthDallas40]

So who is this chic who declared herself new supreme leader of Belarus? Does she have the political clout to back up that claim or is she about to become the next political prisoner/casualty on Putin’s long list?

Putin knows demilitarization is an absolute non starter given his history and his stunt here. My guess is it’s possible he’s realized if he can get some assurances to remain neutral, he will declare the invasion a success, save some face and go to the house and lick his wounds. If Ukraine continues to have success on the battlefield, I don’t know that I would even give Putin that if I’m Zelensky. I would always hold that over his head as a “Don’t F with me” clause.

All Putin would do is invade Ukraine again in 2 years once they have de-militerized.

Story is still being written, but it is giving Saddam's invasion of Kuwait a real run for its money. And Russia is a much bigger, more important country than Iraq ever was obviously.

I suppose it depends on the circumstances of the country in question. Germany and Japan didn't fare too badly after the Second World War.

That is because the United States sponsored their rebuild because, despite our flaws, we are the most benevolent power in history. Also East Germany did not fair well after WW2.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Wow, too many snakes in that brain. Quite the rant to start accusing neocons and neoliberals of working together for a new world order. They would never be able to agree on what to do. Better add a little more tin foil to your hat.

They are working together right now in supporting these actions in Ukraine over the last 8 years and are in lockstep in their objectives in the Middle East. They both feed from the MIC table, and it doesn't appear that the events of this week are going to discourage them from pushing their agenda even more.

 

[lawgator1]

Fox is struggling to find their angle on this one.

Last week it was that Putin didn’t have plans to invade and that Biden was being too aggressive.

This week it is that, duh, it's obvious Putin was going to invade and it's because Biden isn't aggressive.

Fox has zero credibility at this point on this issue. They should just go back to bashing the Supreme Court nominee and complaining about gas prices. That's their comfort zone. Complex international affairs not so much.

If this is true, and 2/3 of the Russian force is already in Ukraine, that doesn't bode well for the prospects of it being able to conquer and hold the country for a prolonged period.

 

[BreatheUT]

That has nothing to do with the point of the post.

Looks like the same photo from a year ago?

 

[Matt2496]

Weird.

I looked it up just to verify and sure enough, the images are exactly the same from April of last year.

From everything I have seen so far it is due to ...

They have not sent in their heavy hitter weapons yet and are willing to lose their older weaponry to depletes Ukraine’s supply.

Poor logistics planning.

They underestimated Ukraine’s resolve to defend itself.

And the biggest reason in my opinion is that the majority of the Russian troops hearts are not into the fight, it is vital to believe in one’s cause when going to war and I don’t think the average Russian combat soldier does at this point. Nothing I have seen so far leads me to believe the average Russian thinks their cause is a righteous one and worth dying for.

Just my opinion.

T-90s in Ukraine. They’re getting ravaged.
