    Russian sanction-based inflation so high that Russia will have to spend $600 on Facebook ads to throw the midterms.

    Putin defenders scrambling to come up with all sorts of excuses. They told us that Mother Russia would easily have this invasion wrapped up by the end of February, now here we are 7 months later, still no cigar. Since the troll likes to bring up UF football comparisons, this is like UF being a 49-point favorite against Bethune Cookman…and now it’s a tie game in the 4th quarter. Yikes!

    If the Russians annihilated all those troops in Kherson why aren't they advancing towards Odessa?

    Don't know what to make of this. I don't know this guy but he is followed by some level-headed folks. Right now, a grain of salt is required.

    US can afford to trash talk as long as it’s fighting wars with other countries’ people.

    Maybe Russia's victory is so overwhelming that Putin decided to provide the Ukrainian Army with surplus Russian military equipment as a gesture of goodwill to a defeated enemy.

    The Kharkiv counter-offensive reminds me of the year my Buchholz team played Gainesville High. Believe it was 1973.

    We knew we had no chance, but we had to deliver a mosquito bite if only for bragging rights. So we practiced a trick play all week.

    The trick play worked like a charm as we went up 6-0. Of course we missed the extra point.

    I think it only made GHS mad as they reeled off 56 straight points.

    There was a sideline brawl and we gave as good as we got there and felt like won.

    4,000+ Ukrainian troops killed against few if any Russian casualties. 10 or 11 Russian tanks left behind and one artillery piece destroyed against hundreds of Ukrainian tanks and armored vehicles destroyed.

    I wish the neocons would just stop. I wish that America could just learn to get along in the world. But the bottom-feeders who run the wars are seemingly insatiable. Now it looks for all the world like they’ve opened another front in Armenia.

    Russia is said to have lost 24 million in WWII. But the loss of bicycles is sending them into a tailspin ...

    Russia suffered 24 million civilian and military losses in World War II because Nazi Germany represented an existential threat to the Soviet Union. Unless I missed it there hasn't been a massive invasion of Ukrainian troops on Russian soil and the Ukrainians aren't shelling Moscow and/or St. Petersburg (Leningrad in World War II). Putin is losing and tragically he's going to take down tens of thousands of his fellow Russians with him as well as even more Ukrainians primarily innocent civilians including women, children and the elderly.
