Russian forces stepped up their offensive early Tuesday with bombs raining down on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, as a 40-mile-long convoy of tanks and other military equipment forges forward towards Kyiv. “Daylight rises again over Ukraine. Kyiv still stands,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said around 6:30 a.m. local time Tuesday morning, after another night of heavy bombings. “The Warriors continue to stand for their country and freedom. Glory to Ukraine.” By 7 a.m. air sirens sounded again. Zelensky said he believes Russia is trying to force Ukraine into surrendering by ramping up the shelling across Ukraine following a peace summit

Putin is going to be ruthless. Get ready for atrocities. Heartbreaking.

Sorry, but Ukraine is not our friend. Am beginning to think that The Swamp is about to get their asses kicked. The Ukraine is Joe’s friend and I despise all of Joe’s friends. Period. (See impeachment #1)

Shelling. Something I've never understood about the way our military interprets the rules of war. The artillery guys get to lob HE rounds into a town, miss their mark by blocks (ballistics is not an exact science), kill dozens of innocents, adjust a click or two, and fire again. Happened all the time during Iraqi Freedom. No consequences, yet we send brave infantrymen to prison for making split-second decisions that result in the death of a not-proven-guilty civilian.

Maybe I am being fanciful, but I have to wonder what is in all those trucks. Are they empty? Is this a head fake? Or is Putin actually going to go into Ukraine and commit heinous acts of violence with the world watching? If so, he is not doing himself any good. He is coming off like a nut job, in the manner of Kim Jung-un? He is making himself a pariah to the West. Maybe he is, as rumor has it, having serious mental issues, or maybe he is actually just an evil man who believes his time has come and he is going to go for it.

If you watched “Winter on Fire,” you’ll see the Ukrainian people in a different light. They want to break off from Russian influence and join with Europe.

Can't help but think if Ukraine was sufficiently armed, Russia wouldn't stand a chance. Next few weeks will be make or break time for Ukraine. What would it take to stop a 40-mile-long convoy? I'm guessing enough disabled vehicles might bring the whole thing to a screeching halt.

Something makes no sense whatsoever. If Putin wanted to, I'm sure by now he could've taken out Zelensky or any of his inner circle with drones. Or he could've captured or arrested him. Why do we have to go through all of these theatrics?

Escalation of force: start trying to take it cheap with little loss of life they ramp it up until you eventually take it with as little cost as possible. Ukraine is radically outgunned and it's too late to change that in time, even if the world decided to - which they haven't. Putin is a bad guy; as corrupt as a Biden and as cruel as Fauci in an orphanage, (though there is no way Putin's death count will ever eclipse Fauci's). But Putin is not stupid. He is accomplishing his task in a way that keeps Europe paying him for petroleum (at over $100/barrel) every day, and not one Ukrainian ally is supporting them in combat. Who would start a war, attacking Russia AFTER they annex Ukraine and add them to the Russian map (again)? Invade a nuclear Russia? This war is costing Putin a small fraction of the value of the military equipment Biden gifted the Taliban. Ponder that. And Putin's cash flow from the West is at an all-time high. Ponder that. Putin is savvy, and being evil and wrong doesn't change that one bit. The spin from the people who are financially supporting his attack is stupid.

Oh for a dozen A-10s with all wing stations full and the 30 mm gun magazine fully loaded. Saddam's boys got a taste of that on the Highway of Death. And they made it worse for themselves by mining the roadsides so that if they turned off the road to get out of the line of carnage from above, they ran into carnage from below - of their own making.

Remember this when the Russians try to get frisky. They are a second-tier military power unable to project much beyond their borders. Yeah, they have nukes, which are a weapon of desperation, not domination. They also have inadequate equipment and logistical lines that quickly fail to deliver the goods. The warmongers, today's ersatz Pattons, want to go to war with them. To what end? We ought to be fighting to save democracy here in the USA, doncha think?

Above freezing most days...and nights...for the next week. That means MUD anywhere off of paved roads. Bridges, over passes, even small ones, bottleneck this ready made Traffic Jam. Any disabled vehicle from any cause slows or stops dozens(hundreds) behind it.Small arms fire into soft sided trucks packed with troops is "Demoralizing" to say the least, larger caliber .50bmg can stop the motors, and even a miss that passes through the "cargo" men/munitions/fuel is something very "Dramatic" to those nearby. Yeah Putin has 150,000 or so soldiers he can march in there...against 14MILLION armed Ukraines, that can grab up Russians weapons being delivered TO them in every truck they can take. He is fighting "Comanches" now...people that know the land, the terrain, that HIS people do not.

I am no kind of expert on infantry tactics, but it doesn't seem like a long, thin line of vehicles is a good formation for defensive purposes. Seems like endless flanks to be attacked, and knock out a few vehicles at the front and then a few at the back, and the road is blocked, and on those narrow roads, and muddy farm fields all around....not much of a place to "circle the wagons" if attacked. Seems like a suicidal 'formation', but I may be totally wrong. As I said, I am not an expert, armchair or otherwise, in this land warfare stuff. Any trained former infantry or armor folks care to comment? Is this long convoy just asking for a huge attack or is this somehow a good formation and strong for fighting?

n his State of the Union speech, Joe Biden made the jaw-dropping statement that he supported funding the police. He told a lot of big lies – his concern for national unity chief among them – but this police flip-flop represents the second-deadliest nonchalant course reversal (after Covid policies) and it simply can’t be ignored. Just for context, take a listen to this montage of various Democrats saying the exact opposite not that long ago:Put pithily, Democrats have enabled selfish, amoral, violent individuals who are unfit to participate in society to repeatedly return to the streets.

I saw people praising this piece on Twitter and wound up reading the entire thing.

Not surprisingly, one of the key drivers in this story was social media where as a young teen Helena discovered a fantasy world inhabited by unhappy teen girls just like herself.

We shouldn’t be surprised that Hillary Clinton would continue to double down in the face of a mushrooming scandal. This has always been her strategy in handling such situations, and heaven knows she’s had plenty of experience. Whitewater? Pfft! Nothing to see here. Travelgate? Just a vast right-wing conspiracy. Benghazi? What difference could it possibly make? Hillary has survived more scandals than perhaps any politician in history, so her current hubris might be somewhat expected.

It is beyond debate that the Democrats have behaved badly for a number of years now. They’ve conducted two sham impeachments of Donald Trump based on false evidence, or no evidence at all. They have removed Republicans from committee assignments for infractions that pale in comparison to the violations of Democrats. They have violated Congressional rules with impunity – even to the point of refusing to accept minority party assignments to a select committee. Yet there are those on the Republican side that say they should resist responding in kind, when the Republicans inevitably ascend to the majority.

The most remarkable thing about the Mad Vlad claim is that it is obviously false. Whatever Vladimir Putin may be, he is certainly no irrational madman.
