He has a heavy presence in Ukraine and is advancing. People believing this media nonsense of "Ukraine is winning" are just flat out dumb. No one takes a major city in a week. Without serious Western help, Putin will take most of eastern Ukraine.


There's different forms of winning; losing more slowly than anticipated and drumming up support around the world is a form of winning, after a fashion-- making a total victory either more costly or less likely can secure a better settlement. Objectively, no one on the ground in the Ukraine is better today than they were yesterday, or the day before that, or the day before that.

The problem tends to arise that people come to any discussion with preconcieved axes to grind; whether it be that the news can report no truth whatsoever, or that the Ukrainians belonged in NATO and people who didn't think so kick babies for fun.

 I truly believe Putin is playing rope a dope. He’s nowhere near dumb enough to have played his cards yet. He didn’t rise through the KGB and become president being a dummy. I believe he’s waiting to see what the rest of worlds response is.


Someone should shoot that son of a bitch.

We announced less then a week ago that we were at DEFCON 3. That is stating we are at a higher then Norman readiness level…

“Putin’s furious and apoplectic and withdrawn” yadda yadda. We heard all the same lines about Trump. So I’m with you, color me skeptical.

And for the love of Christ, this opinion doesn’t make me a Putin supporter, for those out there so sensitive about that matter. Fyi

Most of you baws don’t remember this but in Desert Storm the Iraqi Republican Guard was hailed as the most elite fighting force in the universe. The news promised that they would paint the desert red with American and ally blood. At the first sight of Apache helicopters the Republican Guard shite their pants and threw up surrender flags to remotely piloted observation drones. It may just be that the Russian army, while formidable in the right circumstances, just doesn’t want to be there and their effort is showing.
