Allow him that much, Ukrainian and Iranian are very close.

Trump is not even aware who is fighting there. Even after he was told, he thought America landed in Ukraine.

Oh I don't know about that... I experienced DEFCON 2 for the first time in my life, thanks to Biden!

By comparison, under Trump the most dangerous day was when the QAnon shaman showed up!

“For now, only one thing is clear: Putin prioritized his personal obsession above Russia’s interests,” Kadri Liik, a senior fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, wrote in the February 25 article War Of Obsession: Why Putin Is Risking Russia’s Future.

Putin’s decision to launch a major military offensive against a country whose people he has said are “one” with Russians may seem like the height of irrationality.

Another possible explanation is that Putin came to see an assault as the best way to achieve his goals -- that he was acting rationally, in a way, but based on a deeply flawed set of claims, beliefs, or assumptions.

Maybe it was a passing train!

Only if it was moving at the speed of light!

Assuming this is a legit comment by an eyewitness...

"The Ukrainian army is very brave and they will continue to defend the city but the style of the Russian army is like pirates. They do not fight with their army, they just destroy entire districts," Orlov says.

It sounds like the Russians have changed tactics... they're now fighting American style!

Cluster bombs?

At the moment the hapless Russians don't even look competent enough to pick anything off.

There isn't much Ukrainian Air Power. A few old fighters and attack helicopters is pretty much it.

If Russia was up against an Israel, or even a Turkey, they would have been a a column of burning armour by now.

The Ukrainians are going to engage Russia in a protracted war if they enter any Ukrainian city. House to house, street to street, suburb to suburb and the Russians will not know from which the next Javelin missile will be brandished.

This would have been a great opportunity for America to wipe a couple of thousand Armoured vehicles and tanks off the face. Wouldn't have been so difficult.

Apparently pootin was too dum or at least miscalculated all this so badly, they are now in a massive quagmire and Zalensky seems to have become larger than life now. This former comedian has Pootin by the balls.

Bottom line is this. You can't defeat a people in their homeland for as long as they have the will to fight for their country. And so far Ukrainians have shown so much guts and determination. The will is there and that is partly thanks to Zalensky leading by example. Unlike the Afghan Leader who took his American Lift to safety, Salensky remains at large and also larger than life and at the forefront and shoulder to shoulder with his people. You can't ask for more than that from a leader.

That's because of crazy Pootin and not sleepy Joe.

Cluster bombs?

They don't have any precision weapons.

All those shiny planes, but they did not invest properly in precision munitions. Their Air Force is pretty useless without these weapons.

I thought you said this was a superpower. But the reality is, Turkey would wipe the floor with Russia.

Pootin should now surrender his Nuclear Arms on the basis he is too stupid to handle such a responsibility.
