Satellite imagery taken today showed a large deployment of Russian ground troops moving in the direction of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv from approximately 40 miles (64 km) away, a private U.S. company said. (snip)
a deployment comprised of hundreds of military vehicles and extending more than 3.25 miles (5 km). (snip) As Russian troops draw closer to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv's mayor is filled with pride over his citizens' spirit but remains anxious about how long they can hold out.

I think Putin is insane. It is frightening to think he has the power to launch nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, TaliBiden spent the day having a nap, an IV cocktail and an ice cream cone.
Demonrats must be so proud.

Three miles of traffic? What a dozen A-10s could do with that!

We just mothballed some A-10's. They would have come in handy.

Please take a minute to read the ConservativeTreeHouse article linked by @GirlwithaCurl. Much of what we are seeing is psyops and fake news. Yes, Russia has certainly invaded and clearly intends to secure their historic warm water port. Biden's major concern should be the records of money laundering through this most corrupt of governments.
I think it's frightening to realize that Biden has the power to launch nuclear weapons. JFK turned down his advisors' encouragement to invade Cuba. Biden...pfft.

A 3-mile ling target; too bad nobody either planned for it, or put in place the solution for taking it out, but rather have simply jawboned.
Yeah another example of domestic and international stupidity in dealing with the obvious, or rather, ignoring dealing with the obvious.
“What fools these mortals be!”

The one thing I fear most in this is that Ukraine is arming civilians. As evil as Putin is, so far he has pretty much avoided most civilian targets -- or the civilian death toll would be thousands, not a couple of hundred, in a full-scale invasion.
When you arm civilians, and get them to do guerilla warfare (like Molotov Cocktails), you make all civilians into "enemy combatants". That is all the excuse Russia needs to feel totally justified in targeting all civilians. And if this stretches out for too long, they will go "scorched earth" and target everybody -- using everything this side of nukes to do it.

You got that right #4.

It would look like the road of Death from Desert Storm.

I was just about to express my wish that this ominous 3-mile-long convoy would become like Saddam's long convoy of military vehicles that was beating a retreat... Remember this?

And when looking up references to cite for that, I noticed reports that what I was wishing is exactly what has happened. Wonder if those reports are real or fake...

The Russkies know about urban warfare and how bad it can be for the attacker. They are to lay siege to the city and pound it with artillery. The Ukrainians need to attack before the Russians can get a perimeter in place.

Against arming civilians???
ASK THEM! They are not pawns on anyone's board, this is their HOME.
Anyone that tried to tell ME to "Not fight back" for MY home? I'd just shoot, don't need someone like that anywhere near me/mine.

Beware media reporting and analysis. Russia has not failed to take Kyiv. In order to take it they would have to destroy it, think Berlin 1945. I haven’t seen any evidence when they pan the cameras during broadcasts, except for the errant missile. This is day FOUR of the conflict, we could have weeks, months or years to go, think Afghanistan. More importantly, has anyone noticed that we have seen nothing from the Russians? The Ukrainians are feeding the media constantly. What happened to the Ukrainian armor out in the field? The Russians made it to Kyiv, what happened to Ukrainian resistance on the way? Have Ukrainian forces on the Donbas been cutoff, surrounded, bypassed? Do Ukrainian forces control anything outside cities in the east? Some blown up tanks and vehicles is exactly what happened to the US in Iraq due IEDs and RPGs but it didn’t change the end result. The Russians may not be running a Blitzkrieg, but they don’t have to. Ukraine cannot drive out the Russians but they can make it dangerous in the cities and for the careless airman. They say Putin is getting desperate. It seems to me handing out automatic weapons and Molotov cocktails to untrained civilians to face heavy machine guns and tanks is the very definition of desperate.

The Ukrainians are flying Turkish stealthy drones with missile firing capability. I have seen several videos of them destroying armored vehicles from overhead. This armored column could be a juicy target for that system.
Surprise.....no A-10s needed, the Bayraktar TB2 drones with apparently capability to carry four strike missiles on each drone are there. One video showed a missile strike on a Buk SAM missile launcher vehicle. These are solid fuel rockets, and have at least four of these large rockets ( 18 ft long x 15" diam) often with reloads stored below the four ready to launch rockets. The solid rocket fuel blew up and it burns furiously, just like when powering the rocket, hideous incendiary, impossible to extinguish, it has it's fuel and oxidizer mixed in, will NOT go out until all consumed. You don't want to be near this if hit.
A Buk missile is what shot down the airliner over part of Ukraine's captured area a few years back. NATO designation is Gadfly SA-11.

Anyone know if Ukraine's air force was completely wiped out? A troop column is a prime target.
