Russia Ukraine: War soon?

[Incogneeto]

Right now Trump is sitting back saying "I told ya so".

He called it, and the dumbsmits didn't listen.

Bwahahaa. Wait till the spin Tonite on How Biden was waaaaaay ahead on this.

And The Economy is GREAT!!

And Americans are living Better Than Before!!

And No Masks!!!!

"Surprise" We want to show America The Masks are gone!!"You Are Welcome America"!!!

"Surprise" We want to show America The Masks are gone!!

Yeah all of a sudden masks aren't needed. You know, the same thing that we've been saying for over a year now.
It's ok now though because SNL did a skit on it so the Karens and dumbsmits of the world will stop yelling at people who don't wear them.

It's ok now though because

the Dems read the polls and discovered they are getting their heads handed to them on a plate

so Trump was right again saying Covid would be gone by Easter? just forgot to say which year

The fact this convoy is sitting and is not being destroyed means Russia controls the airspace 100% and Ukrainian artillery ain't what it's cracked up to be.

Agreed.
That's a pretty juicy static target that the whole world can see live via satellite.
The Russians must be pretty comfortable with their level of air superiority to just let it sit there.
It's either incompetence or arrogance.

Everyone did.

Not even close to the casualties Soviet Union had. Look it up.

U.S.S.R. and China death figures are highly speculative (we just don't know). It was a lot.

U.S.S.R. had the most deaths. China a close 2nd. Germany comes in 3rd.

One source has the Dutch East Indies at #5 with 3 million deaths (learned something new).

He was HOPING IT WOULD PEAK not BE GONE. And was hoping to get people back to work by Easter. How dare he be optimistic so Americans wouldn't panic. Yet the dems were the ones to cause panic.

When I see and hear the people in Ukraine beg for help and describe their fears it just breaks my heart.

Thankfully the world is starting to show support.

Fuck Putin.

The convoy has been stalled for 24+ hours now... out of gas, out of food, full of 18 year old untrained draftees
with no idea what to do and zero desire to fight and die for Mother Russia

And still, nobody is blowing them up.

Seems the drones that the Ukrainians bought from Turkey aren't up to the job.

One good thing I read about this situation is that Ukraine has something like national guard units all over the place. They are small units, but fairly well armed, and they only operate in a very limited local area. Attacking an armored column like this would be suicide for them. But attacking the convoys that resupply the armor is right up their alley. The Russian armor rolled through and failed to root out these units who are now free to harass attempts to bring in food and fuel.

Update from my missionary friend in Ukraine.

They made it through that first frightening night of explosions and air-raid sirens.
The big push now for many people is to try to get as far away from Kyiv as possible, but that is only creating traffic jams and more chaos.

Bruce has decided to hunker down in place and ride it out.
They have food and water set aside for such a time as this, so we are praying for God's continued provision and safety.

Something is off with Putin

A few days ago Sen. Marco Rubio hinted on Twitter that something was "off" with President Putin. Rubio didn't say where he was getting that information but his position on the Senate Intelligence Committee and his hesitance to say more suggested he was alluding to classified information.

It's not clear what Rubio was hinting at but we do know that sources close to French President Macron, the western leader who has spent the most time with Putin lately, reveal that Putin seems to have changed lately.

She is so incredibly insightful!

No need to declare captured Russian equipment
