The Russians control 22% of Ukraine. Including its industrial heartland. Explain to me why they would want to take Ukrainian speaking areas? Was one of those officers you worked for the former air marshal on Sky News last fall who stated that Ukraine had a advantage going into winter because they were the ones used to the harsh weather. After I heard that I checked the map and found Russia had not miraculously moved to the tropics. Fact is things are not going good for Ukraine. They're running out of artillery shells. Russia meanwhile has been launching 60,000 a day. It's a war of attrition and Russia unfortunately is much more equipped for this type of warfare. This guy from Google apparently didn't get the make believe all is good for Ukraine propaganda memo before this interview..

Yes things are looking very positive on American intelligence community YouTube propaganda channels. Here is a British Air Marshal predicting the Russians will be done by Christmas. Last Christmas, 555!

You are going on the assumption that this is a territorial war and not a war of attrition. Russia has captured the industrial heartland of Ukraine. This is where the Russian speakers are. It was ethnically cleansed of Ukrainians and Tartars years ago. The Donbas and Crimea were then filled with Russians. It would be stupid for Putin to try to control Ukrainian speaking areas. People don't seem to understand that this war has been going on since 2014. It only escalated in February 2022. If anything I downplayed how bad the situation is for Ukraine. But once again the sheep will continue believing the west;s propaganda media and their military industrial complex former militaryi officers who have no shame. Déjà vu of WMD in Iraq all over again. It's supposed to be fool me once shame on you but fool me twice shame on me.

Obviously this old codger is for from being reliable but he supposedly has some sway. He gets into this subject matter @4:30mins. Sec State Blinken repeated the same thing on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell

The Ukraine military is pretty much out of air defence munitions and 155mm shells. There has been little direct contact fighting between the sides from the start. They have been bombing the hell out of each other instead. A couple days ago the German English language service DW had a report from a hospital near the front. The Ukrainian doctor interviewed stated 2% of casualties were gunshot wounds. All the rest, 98%, caused by sharapnel. Ukraine is about done. Little wonder their leader tried so hard to get NATO directly involved. It was clearly out of desperation. Will Putin be satisfied with the Russian gains or continue on to Odesa and Kharkiv?

There has been no images nor video of Prigozhin since his "coup" happened. My bet is he is long dead. Putin plays for keeps.

Yeah, I was living there in May, 2014. People seemed to take it I stride. Might be about time to turn the response up a notch or two

The Election Commission is appointed on the advice of the Senate so no surprise in this appalling decision. It will soon be time for the fight for democracy to be taken to the streets.

My gut feeling is a sufficient number of senators will abstain so Pita will be elected as Prime Minister.

Let's see if he. becomes the Prime Minister before calling Thailand a full democracy shall we

So getting rid of 112 would be radical would it?

You're not paying attention. It is not solely M.P.'s that select the Prime Minister. It is them plus 250. appointed Senators.

Funny I watched an interview of Musk a few months ago and he stated his companies do not take out patents or copyrights. Something about being all about free and open competition.

The longer this saga goes on the less sense it makes. If this guy really tried to do what has been reported there is zero chance a thug like Putin would not have dispensed with him by now. You cross Putin you dead or locked up before long.

Lawsuits about to fly.

Now passed 30m. This could get interesting

Here I thought the strange behaviour was old age

I really do not think a prison camp falls under the original purposes. Much like the 2nd Amendment original intent

Cuba says give Gitmo back then

How about showing us all some evidence of WMD in Iraq???????

The USA spends >$80B annually on its intel agencies. They assure us that the bulk of that goes to do-gooder programs like the Peace Corps and such.

No Bangkok Hilton?

I suspect most of these countries have a Trump hangover. Canada most definitely does.

His Wiki already has him as Speaker of the House so must be a done deal. Bone to the muslims?

The China #'s look nowhere near those pre-pandemic
