If Russian air defense consistently achieves 95% or greater coverage then to me that’s a significant psychological blow to US and NATO war gamesmanship.

Continuation of this stellar pace will in turn lead to heightened escalation or quicken the surrender.

Robespierre is well and good, but I’m kinda hoping for a committee on public safety. So we can, you’ll pardon the expression, cut to the chase.

It's so depressing how in such a short space of time the hubris of the declining Empire has accelerated its decline. Horses for senators and a fine tune on a fiddle. Imbecilic patriarchy.. Interesting times.

Their arrogance and hubris is depressing; the decline is wonderful. These people need to be destroyed.

I think we need to bring Confucius up to date, C: "A great drop of rain falling makes a great, multi-million dollar plane fall without being seen or heard."

As an armchair warrior and student of blitzkrieg warfare, I've often been impatient with Vlad's incremental way of war. However, you have to hand it to him, it's worked brilliantly. Every day sees a new split in the carapace of Western "unity". It's true that the Polish government might indeed by acting at the behest of the neocons, but maybe too it's just election pressure. As you state above, this war is less popular in Poland with everyday that passes.

His strategic thinking does indeed seem impressive but he is not a GrandMaster at chess or anything approaching it. No matter how many times you assert the opposite.

@POTUS has determined that he would not provide ATACMs to Ukraine, but he has also not taken it off the table in the future — Jake Sullivan.

Reminds me of “yes, well maybe, I don’t know!” from the hilarious Malcolm in the Middle series…you kinda hafta sing it to get the full effect.

That's as close to a definitive "no" as we'll ever get. There is no "future" where Ukraine's military activities are concerned.

Why Ukraine’s army does not rebel yet:

From what I read:

- information black out, soldiers don’t know how bad it is. Believe everything is going great.

- Use if drugs Speed / Meth to get soldiers in the right mindset for the advance.

- not giving ammo until right before battle

- use of barrier groups / internal security, true believers to make sure no mass retreat, etc.

Even if Kiev censors the news, gossip and rumours spread quickly in armies. And soldiers have phones too. I'm staggered that the poor bloody infantry aren't shooting their officers and the enforcers and heading back home.

Putin is very measured, calculated, and well versed in International law.

We need to serve notice to these men that by crossing into our country illegally, they are automatically volunteering to serve in the Ukranian military. They need military aged men, we currently are receiving an excess. Problem solved!

A guess, Xi & Putin are just fine with the current regime.
