We'll see how things develop, but the situation in the east is not ideal.
But let's keep things in perspective: Russia has gained tens of KMs in the midst of this sustained, costly offensive. Not hundreds, not thousands, tens....

Hey, not sure if Ayden noticed this ...
But this highly edited video starts with 4 armored vehicles and ends with 1 armored vehicle.
What happened to the other 3? Do you think they stopped for ice cream? Do you think they stopped for gas? Maybe they went to a car wash? Maybe stuck in the driv...

[quote]It's wild that people think $14 billion or whatever Ukraine is getting in military aid is actually going to stop Russia. Unless it includes about 500,000 trained soldiers, it's not going to make any meaningful difference in the outcome.[/quote]

Wow, there are some really harsh criticisms in this article.
[quote]The war is a turning-point for Russia. It has consigned Mr Putin’s regime to broad international isolation. He has also had to deal with difficult domestic political undercurrents, from the rebellion by the mercenaries of the Wa...

Do I believe in the poll? I don't think Macron's more aggressive stance on Russia came out of left field.

[quote]First of all thank you for your answer. If this is what that old fool and the idiots who work for him believe that is incredible. Have the sanctions cut off the oil sales? The loop holes and work arounds on these sanctions have made them far less effective. Russia can sustain this war for "As...
