    I hope you are correct. He will be a menace to the world as long as he is in power. Problem is if he feels cornered, he may break out the nukes.

    As for the post that the Russians complained that US drones helped Ukraine accost their ships in the Black Sea: does anyone believe Russia’s denials?

    I wouldn't believe their denials or their claims.

    Best case scenario: Putin ousted and legitimate chance for Russia to have a new start.

    Worse case scenario: Total global nuclear annihilation.

    Seems like those long columns would make easy targets for those shoulder mounted missiles or drones. Really surprised that Ukraine didn't have or use drones

    Trump speaks at cpac later today. As Russia bombs civilians tonight, Hopefully trump doesn’t continue to heap praise and admiration on Putin. Especially as Russia’s state-run media, tass, will use what trump says as propaganda.

    this is what I’ve been waiting for. Unless we threaten to sanction those bailing Russia out, this won’t have near the effect it should. If China bails on them, they are screwed. Still don’t think it will happen though.

    Have to wonder if Russia is saving their best troops and equipment. Doesn't make sense to do so but by some reports and videos they are seeing old dilapidated equipment and soldiers with little training. Scary to think if true and pretty much would confirm he has other intentions in store.

    I meant the US denials that it was our drones?

    Sadly, Putin will just keep throwing young Russian boy's lives and more equipment at Ukraine until the Ukrainian's have nothing or no one left to fight with.

    By the way, I am I the only one who did not know that the Mayor of Kyiv was former fighter Vitali Klitschko and his brother, former world heavy weight champion Wladimir Klitschko is by his side fighting the Russians in the streets?
