Here's an interesting map.
Map of Ukraine War
This is Deep State map, which has kept track of the Ukrainian War since pretty much the beginning. They have a calendar in the upper right corner to help show the movement of the front lines over the course of the war.
Spoiler Alert - The Russians had control over about 18% of the Ukraine in November of 2022. Almost three years later, millions dead, and they control about 19%.
So three years, 1% of the country gained. And the Russian's goal is to take over all of the Ukraine, as stated by numerous Russians.
Huh. This war might be going on a while longer.....

Supposedly this is the Russian strategy. Take very little territory, but grind Ukraine down.
The problem with that is they are losing more soldiers than Ukraine and they are wasting billions in resources. It’s not as if they aren’t being harmed.

Largely. It's believed that it was Musk and the PayPal mafia that convinced Trump to bring him on board as the VP in the first place, which would explain why Vance was so eager to lecture Europe about their laws that limit the information that companies can have access too. Say whatever you want about the Europeans, they don't put up with having all of your personal info out in the open for companies to use in their little equations.
I believe that Musk wanted Vance as the Presidential candidate for his dumbass 'America Party' BS, but Vance is WAY to smart to sign on for that.
But, yes, Vance owes his VP-ship to the Tech Bros and will probably go to bat for them over anything they ask.

Slovakia also confirms Russian oil flow via the Druzhba pipeline has resumed. Economy Minister Denysa Sakova said supplies restarted after a brief halt caused by damage to a transformer station in Russia—the second such disruption in a week.
Now, let's see what happens the next time Orban or Fico veto any EU funding for Ukraine. Notice neither leader is making these statements, they are being made by their ministers. Silence is golden but the damage has been done. Expect further attacks on this pipeline to keep these two on a short leash and focused on what keeps the lights on for their constituents. Winter is coming...

Cope is just openly giddy at the prospect of letting the citizens of NATO and EU member countries freeze to death if Ukraine doesn't get what it wants. Just in case anyone had any doubts about the type of radicals you're talking to here.

The Oligarch Strip of the Week -
Smaller fish being eaten now, but the need for money is growing so we will see more and more of these take-downs. But Putin's circle is safe -
Remember, these figures are only bank deposits held in Russia. Overseas deposits and holdings are assuredly many times greater.

The former chairman of the Krasnodar Regional Court had assets worth 13 billion rubles confiscated, Kommersant reports.
According to the State Prosecutor's claim, confiscated are: 25 land plots (6.8 ha) valued at 3.5 billion rubles, 19 commercial buildings (5182 sq. m) worth 2.8 billion rubles, 18 office premises (4606 sq. m) for 2.7 billion rubles, 12 apartments (2200 sq. m) priced at 1 billion rubles, and 13 parking spaces (174 sq. m) — 30 million rubles.

Bank assets of Putin's inner circle reached 300 billion rubles
The total deposits of 12 people from Vladimir Putin's inner circle reached 300 billion rubles, according to data from FNS leaks. This amount is comparable to the annual budgets of large Russian regions — for example, Irkutsk Oblast (290 billion rubles), Novosibirsk Oblast (360 billion rubles), and Perm Krai (272 billion rubles).
Particular attention is drawn to three women closely associated with the president. Alina Kabaeva [Putin's longtime partner] holds more than 1.6 billion rubles in accounts at Bank "Russia," Katerina Tikhonova [Puitn's daughter] has a deposit of 1.7 billion rubles in "Gazprombank," and Maria Vorontsova [Putin's daughter] has about 330 million rubles in VTB.
Remember, these figures are only bank deposits held in Russia. Overseas deposits and holdings are assuredly many times greater.

Coincidentally coming right after the Alaska meeting. Trump holding off Putin.

Remember who you are arguing with. These lunatics are hardcore communists. I have never seen such a thread on TD. These lunatics are straight off of DU.These people are dishonest, and out of touch with reality.
They are 3-4 actual radical Bolsheviks on here. Radical leftist scum.
I can't wait for Trump to send them to the camps.
And on top of it all you have some spineless Rino neocons that defend them and are in bed with them.

What other conclusion are you supposed to take from that?

Some Europeans may be inconvenienced but nobody is going to freeze to death, Drama Queen.

You must be watching Russian fake news AGAIN. No one is going to freeze because of an oil pipeline being shutdown. No one froze due lack of Russian natural gas. Only suckers bought that it was something new that rural Poland was stocking up on coal in wheelbarrows for winter. That is most of the rural areas in Eastern Europe for decades, except where they have an abundant source of firewood.

Isn't it ironic that after whining for months about Ukraine's infrastructure/electrical grid/power plants being destroyed and people suffering they take this stance now.

This is what it looks like when the welchers got called to the principal's office.
At least the guy from Finland (who is a strong leader) is taking notes.
Macron doesn't look too happy. Ursula looks like she is about to cry.
That looks a little different than what Cope said it was going to be like.
