Very conveniently, look at the thread I just started on the Poliboard about Bush.
I don't bother with that place these days, even though 90% of my posts are on that board.
That should hell you something.

Someone farted in Chicken's general direction. Then they called his mother a hamster and said his father smelled of elderberries.
Quite the conundrum so chicken unstickied it. Hard to blame him that was a step too far.

If you look at it objectively and not from the US point of view it’s not outlandish at all that he decided to invade a country, on his border, that’s run by the United States via the CIA and State Department.
I find this point of view very interesting.
I mean.. let’s say Ukraine is a US “puppet state” as so many like to put it. It still doesn’t explain why any American would cheer for Russia to win a war against America’s proxy.

Did Putin learn nothing from being a KGB officer in the 80s? It's insanity unless this is some master stroke to force a NATO-Turkey split while losing neutrality along his NW border. Didn't he know that Ukraine isn't inhabited by the French mindset towards a quick surrender?

It's partially Biden hate, but there's more to it than that. To some of them, Putin is a bastion of traditional values and is leading the fight against globalism and western decadence. This predates the current situation by a number of years and is partially rooted in Putin's no holds barred campaign against Russia's own Muslim extremist problem (leaving aside the fact that it began with a false flag and that Russia has had cozy relations with Iran throughout).
It's also partially due to an ongoing Russia propaganda/influence operation. Leaving aside the 2016 and 2020 elections, it's absolutely a fact that Russia has been working to shape American opinion and to an extent it's worked.
Put Trump in office enacting the same policies as Biden vis a vis Ukraine, and they'd probably be less strident, but they still wouldn't be happy.

Following up on my post this morning about possible Russian morale issues. Newsweek put this out today.

From the Daily Kos.

But consider this brief list:
Seredyna-Buda, along the Russian border in Sumy Oblast
Ternova, on the Russian border north of Kharkiv
Bohorodychne, 20 km to the southeast of Izyum
Dovhenke, 15 km due south of Izyum
Toshkivka, 5 km north of Popasna
Pylypchatyne, 7 km west of Popasna
Novomykhailivka, directly north of Mariupol
Marinka, just west of the city of Donetsk
Pisky, a northwestern suburb of Donetsk
Avdiivka, 5 km north of Donetsk
Those are all places where Russia tried to advance on Tuesday alone. And failed.

I think it is more amusing he threw out the same details about her life that a previous poster already had in the thread like he just decided to look her up and found out in that search.

One thing about Stalin, he wasn't lazy and he paid attention to detail. He would have done this months ago.

Ukraine certainly is holding its own; however, you don't win wars on defense. At some point, you have to force the other guy off the battlefield.
Russia is making slow gains in its attempt to encircle Severodonstek and Lysychansk but gains nonetheless. Ukraine has a limited amount of time before they risk losing those two cities. If Ukraine sees that it's about to lose those two cities, I think we'll see Ukraine attempt to pull back as much as it can. They will have to retreat to their next line of defense.
ETA: I believe there is only one road into the area that is still under Ukrainian control and it is within Russian artillery range.

Interesting tweet with a video discussing the sighting of VDV troops in Popsana. Is Popsana becoming the main effort?

The newly deployed BMPT-2 Terminator-2 vehicles were also seen in Popsana today.

Gleb Bazov wrote today that the Ukrainians are attempting to reinforce Lysychansk. In his words, it’s a political decision.
