Several talking heads have said Ukraine is losing 1,000 to 2,000 soldiers a day.

Months ago UKR KIA was estimate at 600,000, with 100,000 amputees. Hence, recruiting / capturing men in their 40s and 50s to fight.

No mention of Ukraine's minimal training and forced recruitment off of the streets.

A potential looming escalation is if we send them F15s, which will reportedly be based in protected hangers in Moldova, with a token stop off in Poland or elsewhere. If so, will Russia hit Moldova?

McGregor claims this looks like the last days in Ukraine. Claims UKR lost 13,000 men last week, gained 3-4,000 new 'recruits' from Odessa.

Claims Russia has 300K soldiers northeast of Kiev (??), and 100K in Belarus.

Worries about consequences if Russia goes after a USA satellite.

Deceptive NYT headline, "Deadly Strikes on Ukrainian Cities" implies that the Russians are bombing cities, when in fact the fighting is deliberately being confined to small Donbas towns whose population has fled long ago.

There is indeed a lot of casualties though, almost all from the Ukrainian army, who has been losing around 1,500 men per day the last couple of months.

This has been the pattern all along, Ukraine holding fortified outposts like Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Chasiv Yar for far too long and getting absolutely pummeled with artillery, gliding bombs, instead of ceding ground, in order to keep morale high enough.

Good observation by Seymour Hersh, the 2 key paradoxes of US foreign policy today:

1) "urging a ceasefire that will not happen in Gaza while continuing to supply the weapons that make a ceasefire less likely"
2) "financing a war that cannot be won in Ukraine and refusing to… https://t.co/Cqvl5eZHBx

Her debate prep czars would just tell her not to guffaw like she does. I hear that is the best way to control nervous reactions: tell 'em to stop it!

And we all know the Democrat Party has the most brilliant debate prep experts. Look at what they did with Biden in only ten days! Some may think I'm being sarcastic (again), but check it out: He almost fell asleep... but he didn't!

World Bank upgrades Russia to 'high-income country' as war-driven economy grows

• The country's GDP grew 3.6 per cent last year amid demand for military goods and services

The Ruble has been stable, trading in the 80s range vs the USD,

Biden:
- his son has million-dollar ties to Ukraine
- said he would tolerate a small Russian incursion into Ukraine
- got us into war in Ukraine
- refused to speak with Putin pre SMO
- killed an agree-to peace agreement
- his minions said they wanted to "weaken" Russia
- was never able to accelerate adequate ammunition production
- we're not talking to Russia today
- NATO is eviscerated
- immediately refused recent Putin request for talks
- Russia has reportedly killed over 650,000 Ukrainians w another 200K amputees

President Trump
- peace w Russia
- no land grab

"golden shower" - confirmed TDS.

I hope TC does more homework this time.

I can certainly see Russia's appeal to a segment of the American population. Maybe they should work over there for a couple of years or so and see how it is! Warning: Make sure, if you go for the golden shower, the cameras aren't running...

The flipside is really the relevant part here, there is a definite prevalent and irrational prejudice against Russians and Russian culture in the West, especially in America. Generations have grown up in the Cold War with the stereotypes of Boris, Natasha and Ivan Drago. That tendency has been exacerbated with the Trump and "Russiagate" phenomenon.

There is as well a similar prejudice towards Muslims/Arabs and towards the Chinese, which is also being exploited in the conduct of aggressive foreign policies towards parts of east and west Asia.

The irony here is that Putin has pro-western tendencies, being from St Petersburg and having been stationed in Berlin, he really did try to get along back in the 2000s, and even later on, up to the Minsk Agreements.
