That's what I'm hearing and it is a crying shame.

Clinton, Shrub, Obama, and Biden should ALL have to face charges and ride the lightning. EVERYTHING going on right now is 100% their fault, and the ONLY reason I didn't put GHW on that list is because he's already dead. Otherwise he should fry too. Treasonous bastards the whole lot of 'em.

She has been released. Receiving a fine.

Stiffer charges later, after some time passes? A definite possibility.

The fact she was on state TV, Putin couldn't risk the public backlash if she was imprisoned. (my theory, anyway)

I still believe we should arm Ukraine with whatever they need.

I still believe you should not be able to invade a sovereign country.

You think they're gonna announce any weapons movement on the news?

They are supplying Ukraine with higher tech weaponry like anti-tank, stingers, javelins, etc. Also ammo and small arms, plus food and medical.

No fly zone deemed too risky. I agree.

They'll inform the news outlets well after the fact, if at all.

The 3 PM's visited Kyiv by train. A 12 hour train ride through a war zone...so you think they have the means to covertly supply weapons?

U.S. learning a great deal. Russian armed forces showing to be all hype. All bark, little bite. All they can do now is randomly bomb targets and civilian casualties mount. Which is awful and I am saddened. Do not get me wrong. This is OUTRAGEOUS! But,...

Military people will tell you (however dry) that civilian casualties do not effect armed forces. Ukrainian forces are doing well. All these random attacks are doing is further galvanizing them (as if they aren't already motivated enough).

Trump already supplied them a great deal.

Remember them trying to Impeach Trump over a Phone call to the Ukrainian President??

C'mon Man.....Short Memory??

Trump was 4 years ahead of this Chit.

QuoteKey Takeaways

Russia is deploying reserves from Armenia and South Ossetia and cohering new battalion tactical groups (BTGs) from the remnants of units lost early in the invasion. These reinforcements will likely face equal or greater command and logistics difficulties to current frontline Russian units.
President Zelensky created a new joint military-civilian headquarters responsible for the defense of Kyiv on March 15.
Russian forces conducted several failed attacks northwest of Kyiv and no offensive operations northeast of Kyiv on March 16.
Russian forces continue to shell civilian areas of Kharkiv, but will be unlikely to force the city to surrender without encircling it—which Russian forces appear unable to achieve.
Russian forces continued to reduce the Mariupol pocket on March 16. Russian forces continue to commit war crimes in the city, targeting refugees and civilian infrastructure.
Ukrainian Forces claimed to have killed the commander of the 8th Combined Arms Army's 150th Motor Rifle Division near Mariupol on March 15. If confirmed, Miyaev would be the fourth Russian general officer killed in Ukraine; his death would be a major blow to the 150th Motor Rifle Division, Russia's principal maneuver unit in Donbas.
Russian warships shelled areas of Odesa Oblast on March 16 but Russian Naval Infantry remain unlikely to conduct an unsupported amphibious landing.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, MARCH 16

from the link above
Russia is running out of men

QuoteRussia is increasingly pulling forces from its international bases and redeploying damaged units that were rotated out early in the invasion of Ukraine to replace mounting casualties. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces are deploying additional Eastern Military District (EMD) reserves to Ukraine as of March 16.[1] The Ukrainian General Staff additionally reported that Russian command "refused" to deploy elements of the 5th Combined Arms Army (CAA) to the Kyiv advance "due to heavy losses in the south."[2] It is unclear if the Ukrainian General Staff means Ukraine intercepted a request by Russian commanders around Kyiv for reinforcements from the 5th CAA that was denied, or if they are only assessing that Russian casualties in the south are draining reinforcements initially intended for Kyiv. Social media users observed elements of Russia's 58th Combined Arms Army based in Russia's proxy republic in Georgia, South Ossetia, redeploying in likely transit to Ukraine on March 15.[3] Russia has already pulled forces from its base in Armenia and will likely soon redeploy forces from its base in Tajikistan. The Ukrainian General Staff additionally reported that Russia is forming additional battalion tactical groups (BTGs) by consolidating units that suffered losses in the first 10 days of the Russian invasion and graduating cadets from military higher education early to replace officer losses.[4] Russian forces will likely face further difficulties integrating these units into its command and logistics structures.

VDH is one of the smartest people on the planet, and I always learn something every time I hear him speak or read something he wrote.

The above article is succinct, and right on point.
Too bad the people who SHOULD be listening to him are stuck in their own echo chamber.  :wallbash:
