I understand all that, but consider this.

One side is attacking a fortified front recklessly with minor successes. These attacks have to be costing more troops than ghd defense is losing, right?

These troops being used are not good fighting men. They rushed through training to the front lines. Again there is an enormous waste.

I’ve read that Russia is not getting the numbers of volunteers that they were getting previously. That is having an impact.

I believe Russia should eventually force Ukraine to surrender, but because of the inefficient use of troops and the lack of elite units and the lack of motorized units the Russian superiority in numbers is not presenting a decisive force against Ukraine. Consequently, when they eventually gain a tactical advantage they are unable to act decisively to take full advantage.

Breaking ? That was a week ago!

Vance-

He says Ukraine isn't winning the war — fair enough. But in the next breath, he warns that this means millions more will die, the war could go nuclear, and invokes concerns about "nightmare demographics" in "these countries."

---

If millions more die and a million or so has fied already, then while Ukraine is losing so is Russia. Russia is losing a lot.

The author/

quote:

---

But it's not about any of that. It's about the US pouring in billions while Ukraine keeps losing. If the US stops, Ukraine collapses, the war ends — and no one else has to die.

---

So the US is the bad guy here? What about the billions Russia is pouring in? Oh, and why are the Europeans spending more in NATO and why are they donating billions to Ukraine.

The author asserts that people are dying because the US supported Ukraine and prevented a Russian takeover. But the real reason people are dying is because Putin wants to revive the Soviet Union.

But. America can't afford to take a massive L — not with its ego and power projection at stake in the region.

I submit that Russia has way more to lose than we do. In fact they have already lost hundreds of thousand of young men and billions of dollars. They have already lost respect from their poor performance and every day the war continued they lose more and more. Putin sees all this, but he can’t quit. If he does he might not last very long.

EBR schools are closing. Student numbers are way down too and test scores aren’t improving.

I do believe it’s in everyone’s best interest to educate all of our kids; however, despite our best efforts and our hood money thdcdydtrm us failing us.

The new supt. is pushing for some good things. We have too many schools . However, I have no faith in the school hierarchy. Years of promises have big been kept.

Thd DA thing irks me not because we don’t need a strong DA’s office, but because our DA llet things get this bad. We need law and order in the worst way; however, Moore had been DA since 2009 and he remained quiet as the parish decayed.

I have said this before. We pay enough taxes now. Our taxes aren’t being distributed properly. BREC gets too much money and it appears now that the schools do also. The Library did, but measured we’re done to correct that.

The parish and city would rather fund NGOs, consulting contracts and social programs rather than public safety. That’s the other issue. The fact that the cops and the DA are shortchanged speaks volumes.

I can’t believe there is no guardrail at that pond.

The intersection needs modernization now, but Broome built new sidewalks all over BR first.

MovEBR was on a slow road.

So J D Vance is discussing the notion that the war could continue for years. That isn’t good for Rusdia.

We would have. I’ve seen that several times in the majors.

Unless for safety reasons college has a must slide rule.

And the real story:

quote:

---

On September 17, 1939, Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov declares that the Polish government has ceased to exist, as the U.S.S.R. exercises the “fine print” of the Hitler-Stalin Non-aggression pact—the invasion and occupation of eastern Poland.
Hitler’s troops were already wreaking havoc in Poland, having invaded on the first of the month. The Polish army began retreating and regrouping east, near Lvov, in eastern Galicia, attempting to escape relentless German land and air offensives. But Polish troops had jumped from the frying pan into the fire—as Soviet troops began occupying eastern Poland. The Ribbentrop-Molotov Non-aggression Pact, signed in August, had eliminated any hope Poland had of a Russian ally in a war against Germany. Little did Poles know that a secret clause of that pact, the details of which would not become public until 1990, gave the U.S.S.R. the right to mark off for itself a chunk of Poland’s eastern region. The “reason” given was that Russia had to come to the aid of its “blood brothers,” the Ukrainians and Byelorussians, who were trapped in territory that had been illegally annexed by Poland. Now Poland was squeezed from West and East—trapped between two behemoths. Its forces overwhelmed by the mechanized modern German army, Poland had nothing left with which to fight the Soviets.

Does this sound familiar?
