#4 Putin's wrath unleashed: 83 Russian missiles are fired at Ukrainian cities, bringing death and destruction across the country - with Vladimir warning there will be a 'severe' response to further 'attacks'

#5 Gloves off. It’s (finally) getting real.

The Trump wing of the GOP is surging and will enable the Republicans to take over Congress on Nov. 8.

When that happens the clock will start ticking on the end to Ukraine’s gravy train. Tick tock.

#7 US embassy warns Americans in Ukraine to shelter in place and then leave the country immediately after Russia pounded cities with dozens of rockets in revenge for Crimea bridge blast

#8 5 murdered civilians in Kiev for a dozen for more cruise missiles fired (6 hit). That is not sound military strategy. It is reminiscent of a broom bristle mustachioed fella who also wasted military power to bomb cities because his ego got bruised. The rest is history.

Whether 10 or 80 cruise missiles per day targeting civilians, the end effect is the same. The missiles will run out and Russia can't build more w/o imported western electronics.

Ukrainians continue to liberate more territory everyday and many more Russians die on the battlefield than Ukrainian civilians Moscow can kill with missile strikes on cites.

Meanwhile, every eastern European county is thinking, "I need nuclear weapons." and so it will be.

There used to be a newspaper in Moscow run by expats, including Matt Taibbi, called "The Exile". One of their regular features was called "Low Yield Murders". That is Russia in a nutshell.

#9 From Operator Starsky 🇺🇦

The Main Intelligence Dept of Ukraine reports that the order on the russian missile strike was issued on Oct 2 and Oct 3, prior to the collapse of the Kerch bridge. 7 Tu-160 bombers equipped with X-101 cruise missiles were relocated to Olenya from Engels airbase, russia, on Oct 8.

#10 If Ukraine was wise... instead of the bridge next they would destroy Red Square in Moscow and maybe major places in Leningrad er.. Saint Petes.

#11 I'm old enough to remember the "wisdom" of Nixon/Kissinger and the tactic of triangulation short of open war. Looking ahead is always the tangled maze of branches and sequels, but on must assess what most seems likely short of the big-kaboom.

Consider the world from the perspective of China today. Its main military peer competitors are the US and Russia. Anything at the strategic level that weakens both is a win, even if one is a superficial ally and the other the major economic market.

So encouraging this enormously expensive, destabilizing and destructive proxy war would seem to be a priority for its agents/allies embedded in Washington and Moscow, keeping the focus on Europe and the Atlantic Alliance. Given how the Demokrat party is exhausting our SPR and military stockpiles as well as the massive overspending of the Puppet Show on every imaginable stupidity, keeping this up until after the MidTerms, we are a very weakened, divided nation led by a doddering, script reading fool and a crack-brained harpy. Then after a massive political change in the House and Senate, poof, invade Taiwan and reset the American focus on the Pacific, too late to do more than talk as America is consumed with damage control, debt management and cultural strife subsidized by China, Iran, Russia, and half the Arab world post-November.

As our focus shifts from the money pit that has been Ukraine and Europe finds face-saving ways to open the energy flow from Russia again, perhaps with a Post-Putie oligarch, Ukraine negotiates, the vast corruption there is revealed, and China has reset the World Stage to its benefit. Xi is triumphant and we are diminished further as the perception is that the American Century has ended.

While I doubt the Republic is finished, 31 trillion will take a lot of work to pay off, and we have massive internal issues to resolve to repair the stupidities of Bush/Obama/Pelosi-Biden policies. America First and American Sovereignty now!

#12 A big part of all the problems goes away once we are producing oil domestically again. Even closing the borders, which is critical, is not as paradigm-busting as that.
