Key Takeaways
Western officials are increasingly reporting that Ukraine is hindering Russia’s advances in Ukraine, in line with ISW’s consistent assessments, but that the Kremlin likely remains committed to its original war aims despite some recognition within the Russian elite that the war is not going well.
Ukraine’s mid-range strike campaign is disrupting Russian transport arteries in occupied Ukraine and will likely complicate Russian logistics.
Ukrainian forces struck occupied Starobilsk, Luhansk Oblast, overnight on May 21 to 22.
Ukrainian forces advanced in Sumy Oblast and in the Borova, Slovyansk, and Pokrovsk directions and in western Zaporizhia Oblast.
Russian forces launched 124 drones toward Ukraine overnight.

My whole house is gas. I know the difference. I installed one of my hvacs myself.
My gas bill would go up a little in the winter but never more than double like it did this year since Delta took over.
The Winter bill should be notably higher than the Summer bill if you have gas furnaces unless you let your home get real cold.
And I agree with the notion that Delta is sticking it to people.

Use to pay around $45 per month consistently. Even in the blizzard last year and the deep freeze the year before.
Then you must have electric heat because your gas bill should ramp up in the Winter and come down in the Summer. Either that or you turn off the heat.

As for Schmidt, when you turn down a like 1st round selection to play college baseball the expectations for great success in college is high. That's just the way it is. Two years in, he had not reached those high expectation levels. Some may argue he hasn't even come close...even there was some improvement from last season.
High expectations were warranted based on his high school performances.
Would he peak as a sophomore? No. There is a growth process that you have to follow. For most it takes time, but by the end of year two you’d expect at least above average.
Schmidt wasn’t even average; thus everybody’s disappointment.
Next year is a huge year. He needs to improve a lot to command big money. Let’s hope he can.
Ukraine appears to have Russia on its heels in different areas of the front. Meanwhile China and Russia talk and there’s no big news.

Key Takeaways
Russian President Vladimir Putin and the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) President Xi Jinping failed to reach an agreement on the Power of Siberia-2 pipeline and signed only comparatively minor bilateral agreements during Putin’s official visit to the PRC.
Ukrainian forces appear to be regaining the tactical initiative in different sectors of the frontline in Ukraine. Ukrainian forces advanced in the Kupyansk direction, the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast. Russian forces advanced in the Sumy and Pokrovsk directions.
Russian forces launched one ballistic missile and 154 drones toward Ukraine overnight and an additional 84 drones during the day.

But who else would you PH? Carraway? Reaves? Clauss? None of those are very inspiring options
You need to understand Yorke is the poster boy for the failure of this team to compete on offense just like Guidry is the poster boy for the pitching failures.
The fact is we do not have a competitive roster. It got worse with Brown, Cooper and now Serna going down.

Yes it did. The RAF was on the ropes.

Not specific reports regarding stats. Stats are stats. Information. Analysis is opinion and those were way off base.

Meanwhile, Putin uses his old KGB handbook for military doctrine and it calls for terrorizing the civilian population with missiles and drones.
The strategy the Nazis used to defeat Gr Britain. The strategy the Allies used to bring the Nazis to their knees.
It didn’t work then and it isn’t working now.
Yes, I can remember all those Fall reports warning us as to just how bad this team would be.
Thin on pitching, poor gloves, and so many poor hitters. Remember? A lack of athleticism, team speed, etc. Remember?

Very poor all around
I know, we have all those other great bullpen options and they pick Guidry!!!

I know right. Why can't people see the billions in money and hardware Trump has shipped to Putin his buddy. But even worse is the satellite Intel he gives Russia every day. Crazy no one cares.
If Trump was really trying to help Putin, Ukraine would have been cooked years ago.

The truth very well could be that they have been here longer than we have and that they just aren't too interested in us to show themselves more than they do.
So they are here all the time and every once in awhile we see one fly by or we see wreckage from a crash.
Makes sense
quote:
Dismissing it just because of a crash seems about like saying "no way humans can fly in airplanes, they crash cars all of the time"
I believe they could crash, but I don’t understand why they come all this way to hide from us.

Anyone with an IQ above 75 knows Trump thinks in fairly simple economic terms (for better and sometimes for worse) and is going to do everything he can to help the supply side of the oil market while there are potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. It's as simple as that, no wild conspiracy theories you have zero proof of needed.
Job one for Trump is go look out for the USA, and you are right; he believes it best to let Russia skate until the Iran war is over and the SOH is open. He can’t hurt America in order to help Ukraine. It’s a no brainer.

Yes, the conflict has moved back towards stalemate.
Yes. It’s been that way for years. Neither side is gaining the upper hand and progress for either side has been slow.

They need tax dollars to pull it off. A lot of tax dollars.
