#3 Man they're just cranking these thing out aren't they. I guess they haven't grasp that Americans since childhood are exposed to so much commercial and political crap that by the time they reach adulthood (whenever that happens - sometimes never), they've already been vaccinated against the bovine-scatology that permeates the environment.

#5 Insider - The menacing 40-mile-long Russian military vehicle convoy bearing down on Kyiv appears to have stalled

They have NOT foking 'stalled.' They are the BAIT! There could be no other military or tactical reason for parking a convoy bumper to bumper, hub to hub. Putin has his air force and nuclear forces standing by, awaiting a NATO response. For the love of Gawd, DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT !

#6 It is a frothy article, but he is not wrong about this part:
Ukraine has become a de facto if not de jure NATO member, an absolute red line for Russia as Putin had made clear on numerous occasions

Russia has security concerns. They do not see NATO as a warm, soft, useless puppy like we do.

Hey, wasn't Zog was the bad guy in "The Fifth Element"?

#8 They have NOT foking 'stalled.' They are the BAIT!

This has been bugging me since "convoy" first showed up in the news. Fat, juicy target going nowhere fast. Logistics issues. The muddy season. It seems incompetent.

Maybe the convoy's destination is not Kiev, but the bargaining table. "Nice city ya got there. Be a shame if it got leveled. Come on, let's give peace a chance. We just want some bits around the edges!"
