    any american left in Russia that is not required to be there by the US gubmnt should have their citizenship revoked if they do not depart in the next week. beyond stupid to remain there and then expect the US to save their arse later. their mere presence there provides Russia with leverage

    Yeah, if he voluntarily chose to stay in a hostile country, we shouldn’t be trading anything for him. Sucks, but it will save others in the future.

    ‘Trump adoration’ pfft. Trump was talking tough on Putin before Biden. The Weaken Russia Now obsession predated both, is more powerful than both and is effectively a runaway train with no off-ramp.

    It is cruel and unusual to use normal, capable troops in battle against incompetent drunkards, especially if they have superior weapons (which the U.S. does). There is no need to risk U.S. lives with Ukraine mopping the floor with Russia. And its about to get a whole lot worse for Russia once Ukraine's spring offensive begins.

    Somehow, a Russian T-90 tank made its way from Ukraine to Louisiana. No one knows how it got there. Rumor has it that the Cajuns like to flip the turret upside down and cook gumbo in it. At least a Russian tank is good for something.

    Russian tank captured by Ukrainian forces turns up at Louisiana truck stop

    For everyone planning on going to Russia in early May, Victory Day is cancelled. All of Russia's working tanks are getting blown to hell in Ukraine. Putin did not like the optics of old men pushing WWII relic tanks through Moscow, while manikins dressed up as soldiers are dragged through the city streets.

    Putin cancels Victory Day parades as Ukraine invasion continues to unravel

    Someone spent a lot of money to transport that from Ukraine to Louisiana. Not military as there is no way they would let it sit there that long unattended.
    what kind of license do you have to have to own a tank?

    Here's some unexpected news: two very high level Russians tried to sabotage the war in Ukraine last year, planning on having it end by March 5, 2022. Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary
    Yes! You are exactly like the dog that woofs through the window! You don't know what you are barking about, but you don't let that slow you down.

    Russia's economy is much more in the toilet than the Kremlin is willing to admit. Apparently, all of the military sector spending is covering up a disaster in the making for the rest of the economy. Retail sales are down, domestic travel is down, and the housing market is stagnant. Vehicle sales, imports, credit growth, and house prices are all down.

    Russia's war economy isn't as resilient as reports would have you believe
