#1 And a tremendous volume of garbage, lies and bullshit emanating from the western propaganda press.

Like the bullshit about how the Russians are bogged down when in reality the mayor of Kiev just admitted his city's totally surrounded. Klitshko's own words today: "All ways are blocked and we are encircled -- everywhere is Russians and we don't have a way to evacuate."

#3 Rapid development has been a problem in warfare for millennia. Many a commander has gotten wrong or incomplete information at critical times.

Rapid development is a problem for lots and lots or subjects other than warfare.

#5 FAKE NEWS Update:

Blackie is making some factual claims. I am not qualified to judge if he’s right — I’m inclined to doubt him on his record of nasty trollery alone, but one does want to be fair — so you lot who are qualified need to grade his effort.

My thanks in advance,

#7 1) Russian tank that ran over a civilian car in Kyiv was a Strela-10 Ukrainian air defense system. NOT Russian.

A longer video shows it was part of an infiltration unit. The Anti-aircraft gun truck with the armored Strela carrier was under small arms attack at the time and the 2 occupants killed. It was shear petty meanness that the armored Strela carrier run over the car and old man driving (he lived). Don't know the ultimate fate of the Strela carrier.
