I'm wary of any video they put out that doesn't show any destruction, though. They do very much like to show outgoing fire, but don't show the results as much.

Hard to overlook that the two "leading countries" of Europe are willing to screw the Ukraine to appease Russia.
Doesn't bode well for NATO. I'm not sure that Russia couldn't steamroll Europe. It would soon be Poland standing alone. And the Ukraine. France wants to stay out of it and Germany's got nothing. GB's not going to jump in to save the continent. If Russia ignores Finland, not much else in their way. Except the US, of course. I wonder what we'd do if France and Germany opted out. |

And afraid to tell his country that the little "special operation" to remove nazi drug addict leadership is going so very badly that he has do declare war and draft everybody, or launch nukes to protect russia. It sounds like an absolute disaster. That's my guess, but that's why I asked what other people think, because pretty much anybody would know more than I do. |
