    By contrast, our frail demented president sits glassy-eyed, at a small fake desk, urking to the best of his limited abilities a short prepared script before being led away by his handlers …

    More war crimes for Russia. Russian officers ordered their troops to kill three Ukrainian soldiers who were surrendering. Ukraine caught the audio of the order in another case, and video of the killing in this case.

    Responsible Russians need to hang.

    Edit: If there is a way to make it hurt more and take longer, I'm good with that.

    Russia's economy is so tied to the war that Russia apparently cannot afford to win or lose. If they win, they can't afford to secure Ukraine and repair the infrastructure they've been destroying. If they lose, their economy is likely to collapse as there will be no more need for more weapons, and their oil and gas income will be limited to the countries willing to buy from them. Their best hope is a protracted stalemate while they become more dependent on China.

    Russia's economy is so driven by the war in Ukraine that it cannot afford to either win or lose, economist says

    A war economy is not sustainable long term if there is no long term economic benefit.

    any idea on total Russian casualties? Killed and wounded. It difficult to get a good idea - estimates are quite disperse.

    So Putin gets alarmed enough by the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk that he decides to hold a seance to get some advice.

    When Stalin appears in all of his glory, Putin says, “Comrade Stalin, I need your help. Russia has been invaded for the first time since your rule. What advice do you have?”

    The ghost of Stalin seems nonplussed, as if it’s the dumbest question he’s ever heard. “You fool,” he says. “Use your Ukrainian troops to trade space for time while you wait on help from the Americans.”

    That "Police Action" is sure getting alot of cops killed and wounded. One thing about Russia, no matter the form of Gov't in control, they don't mind thinning out the
    male's of the population in service to whatever Czar, party chairman or president/dictator is in charge. I wonder how the next "call up" (draft) goes. I'm sure the young men are delighted to go to Ukraine for a brief tour of duty.
