#2 Latest dispatches: Mariupol on its last legs, will fall today likely.
Next: Odessa, Kherson, and Chernihiv will fall.

Then the entire southern force will head and close the pincers.
Should be wrapped up by this time next week.

#3 An empty bottle of Beluga and a Makarov were found nearby. No further details are available.

Swap out a few things and you got a couple good Lynyrd Skynyrd songs there...

#4 The current situation in the Ukraine pains all of us greatly. The only good that I can see is that we are losing no young US soldier, Marines, or Airmen. The only other potential good is that the West may finally awaken to the evil that is Putin, Xi, and communism.

Punks and traitors who flirt with socialism, communist, and the globalist dream, yes, the Antifa, BLM, crowd and leftest dems should be rejected at every turn. We know where these people lead us.

I remember reading how Stalin, would issue orders during WWII, that ordered Combat Officers to DO IT or DIE if they failed.

Stalin sure went thru a lot of Officers.

#6 He went through a lot prior to the war. He placed 'politically reliable' officers in their place. That the Germans got within kilometers of Moscow is testament to the wisdom of that move. At least in the States, Obama used the promotion and selection board system to install 'politically reliable' officers in the higher ranks.

#7 Stalin sure went thru a lot of Officers.

And a bunch of Ukrainians. Definitely not a "win friends and influence people" kind of guy.

#8 Oh, Stalin influenced people. Just not the way that Dale Carnegie had in mind. Probably didn't make a lot of friends.

#11 I saw what you did there, Canuckistan sniper.

I hope all is well in your part of the world, now that your PM has mostly calmed down. How are the truckers doing?
