    I have really been hoping that some of Georgia and a few other areas would rebel and start causing Russia to split their forces.

    Russia is week now. Time to pile on!

    From what I have read the "Armata" has numerous, serious, teething problems. I also understand their "engine issues" are far from settled
    and a source of major concern as well.

    The most screwed up election in my lifetime. Neither party is offering a truly good candidate.

    Russia afraid to use their latest tank ? Well, why aren’t we using our latest jet fighter ? Check that, we did … to shoot down a weather balloon.

    What is your definition of a “warmonger?” I think it’s important to know what words mean.

    Not arguing that. But what does that have to do with Republicans killing the border bill and blocking Ukraine funding?

    but one team is so far and above the other that there is no real choice for a reasonable person.

    Central Russia Bridge Targeted in Blast, Confirmed by Kyiv (msn.com)

    On Monday, Ukraine announced that it had destroyed a crucial bridge utilized by the Russian military in Russia’s Samara region. The targeted structure, spanning the Chapaevka River in Samara, was struck around 5 a.m., prompting the suspension of rail traffic in the area, as reported by local authorities to the state-run news agency Tass.

    According to operational services, the incident occurred with a loud explosion on the railway bridge over the Chapaevka River, leading to the immediate halting of train operations. This latest event adds to a series of railway attacks across Russia amidst its comprehensive invasion of Ukraine.

    Last June, an explosion rocked a railway line in Crimea’s Feodosia region, while a month earlier, a blast disrupted rail traffic between Simferopol, the capital of annexed Crimea, and Sevastopol.

    The Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) claimed responsibility for the attack in a post on Telegram, stating, “In Russia, a railway bridge was blown up – the movement of trains was paralyzed.”

    Toria Nuland is best known for instigating war in Ukraine. She played a role in removing the democratically elected Ukrainian president in 2014. Advocating for war or deliberately creating the conditions for war makes her a warmonger. I believe Nuland supported her neocon husband: Robert Kagan'ss call for wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. A war in Ukraine was a huge objective of neocons who wanted to break Russia into multiple countries and then go after China. US world hegemony is not possible, the future is a multi-polar world.

    This fat rat saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship. Will chemgator (not a rat) go down with the ship?

    I would phrase it as one team being so far and below the other . . . As in, we dredged the East River, and this is the candidate that we came up with. He lies, cheats, steals and commits rapes, but he has an expensive hairdo. Listen to him speak: "Covfeve!"

    So you don’t know the definition of a “warmonger” to state it, or you are not confident that your definition matches up with the person you labeled?
