#1 "Our forces will focus on the main thing - the complete liberation of Donbas."

Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) be hard.

So-called "off ramp" in .5 miles.

#4 Certainly looks like a signal that the map of Ukraine will be altered after a cease-fire, but it will remain a chastened but sovereign nation. What remains is a huge cleanup and rebuild for a nation essentially ruined by war, and a new Cold War against a diminished Russia firmly self-exiled into the Chinese orbit, with decades of cultural and economic isolation ahead. Their energy profits will come with pictures of Mao printed on them, and the much smaller profit margins will reflect their increasingly client/vassal status. Not what Pootie planned, and heads will roll shortly throughout the nomenclatura , perhaps over time including his. The opportunity from all this might well be the significant growth of European self-defense spending, and a far more western orientation of their energy policy from our hemisphere, providing we want that wealth for the USA. Not a certainty given the economic/cultural suicide path of our demokrat polity.

#5 Stockman writes likes he talks, but I thought the various maps of Ukraine were interesting.

And how many partitions did the Poles go through?

#6 Biden said today that his goal is regime change. He's out of his fricking mind.

Has this lunatic ever handled any successful negotiation? There will be peace talks at some point. What incentive does the other side have to negotiate when you said you want him dead? When did America ever negotiate like this?

We need regime change in Washington
