Right now I see it like this. Russia invaded as a 35 point favorite. They got their nose bloodied early and fell behind by a TD. Since then Russia has used their muscle to launch a comeback to take a seven point lead. It could be more, but they were stymied by some penalties and a couple of turnovers. The third quarter is now underway and Ukraine has begun to move the ball some, and Russia had been bogged down and is still making mistakes. Ukraine won’t go away. Russia keeps making mistakes.


Don’t forget a good chunk of Russia’s starting lineup got injured in the 1st half, and while it remains true that the 4-star recruits manning Russia’s 2nd team should still be able to handle Ukraine’s mix of 3-star recruits and walk-ons, Russia knocked themselves completely out out of contention against league powerhouse USA - which now gets to focus more on an up and coming program in China.

Although there is some controversy as some league leaders are calling “foul” that USA is letting a MAC team use its practice facilities and coaches for free.

I hope they aren’t hidden in Kiev. Word on the street is it’s about to fall.


I know Russia will end this war in 4 days and march onto take Istanbul by Orthodox Christmas. Russia will give the world a glorious Christmas present by tearing the crescent of the top Hagie Sofia and making Istanbul be Constantinople again.

By all accounts Russia is way more corrupt than Ukraine. Perhaps if they are allowed to escape the Russian orbit, they would become even less corrupt.

Besides Russia has threatened out national security for decades. Why let them regain what they lost?

A weak Russia is a better Russia.

BREAKING. First reports about the powerful explosions at the major Russian airbase #Belbek near Sevastopol naval base in occupied #Crimea.

Twitter

UPDATE: Video is old. From the Kyiv Independent:

Media: Explosions heard at Belbek military airfield near Sevastopol, Crimea.

Mikhail Razvozzhayev, head of the Russian occupation government in Ukraine's Sevastopol, attributed the sounds to the work of air defense.

It is becoming the Horace Wilkinson bridge of Kerch. Wonder if you can get a haircut while sitting on the bridge?

I recall our last aid package in July 8, 2022, included, "C-4 explosives, demolition munitions, and demolition equipment for obstacle clearing;"

Maybe "obstacle clearing" includes weapons storage facilities. They could be considered "obstacles."
