Russian forces have made two cross-border assaults inside northern Ukraine, according to information from Ukrainian sources and officials, in what President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling a “new wave of counteroffensive actions” by Russia.
In the first development, Russian soldiers penetrated at least one kilometer towards the town of Vovchansk, a Ukrainian military source told CNN. The aim, the source said, “was to get 10 km deep and create a buffer zone at the border to secure Russian territory from feeling the war.”
In an official statement, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Russian soldiers supported by armored vehicles had moved across the border at about 5:00am Friday, following a day of stepped-up attacks on the border area with guided aerial bombs and artillery.

A second Ukrainian source with direct knowledge of frontline developments told CNN that Russian forces had also penetrated five kilometers inside Ukraine towards the village of Krasne, which lies about 75 km along the border, west of Vovchansk.
The source said the Russian ground assault towards Krasne was carried out by four Russian battalions - about 2,000 men.

Guess this is about to cost us another 20 billion dollars.

Figured there would be some report of Russian aggression. All that money isn’t going to launder itself.

Good Lord when do we realize this is our latest Vietnam and cut loose? Of course all the flower children of the sixties that hated Vietnam seem to love this war.
Do we ever come to the conclusion that China is subsidizing Russia in this war to drain us more, and make us borrow more from them? Seems like a total scam.

Your first point is a good one (I especially like the comment about the “flower children”); your second is foolish. China owns less than $800 billion in US debt. In recent years they have been trying to reduce it, not buy more.

That will completely change if Trump is elected and they (Johnson) keep funding this war with loans. The hippy's and Dems will switch gears in this war and be the complete opposite of today.

From a tactical standpoint Russia would have to expend millions of tanks to take Ukraine at the current rates. I used to think they would eventually muscle their way through but I am not sure they can. Even if they did what would be left?

Pretty much everybody. I've bought some 6 month t-bills lately. I'm sure your mutual funds and insurance companies and banks hold gov't securities.

Champaign on ice. Waiting for those big, beautiful Russian tanks to roll down Khreshchatyk. It'll be a bad day for the NWO, but a good day for the American people.
But sadly thats wishful thinking. The NWO will never let Russia win. They will detonate a nuke first. Or unleash a terrible virus.
Someone... I don't know who, but someone will not let us quit this war. Someone whom Putin has pissed off. Pissed them off so much that they will fight him to the last Ukrainian, and if necessary, our sons and daughters.
Who is he or they? I don't know. But they are the same ones who will persecute Trump until he dies from stress, or in jail. They are the same ones that murdered presidents before and rigged elections and all sorts of evil.
But one thing is for sure. This sort of evil mindedness comes ultimately from the pit of hell. What we're doing in Ukraine is evil. The way we blocked the peace agreement was evil. The way we persist despite all the death and destruction is evil.
I think back to the day Speaker Johnson made his announcement about the aid. It was a 180. He was listless. White as a ghost. He was a man with no choice. He was a man who realized that his power was a mirage.
They are the power. Putin must bow.
