Ukraine does appear to be pretty good at using information to its advantage. When it helps them to put out information they do. When they get good information about targets of opportunity they move. They happen to have outstanding First World assistance with getting that information and they are excellent in their own rights.

Wait a little longer. This has become VVP's idée fixe. He's locked in on that and won't budge with all his corporal-quality strategic insights. I see other moves being much more productive for Ukraine.

Got to love the mockery

I think the compulsion should come from norms. Those behaviors that are community and societal vs. the naked selfishness of Trump whose brand is gratification via the various vices he promotes.

The value of having "elites" who are invested in the well-being of the nation and who want to be seen as invested -- can't be underestimated. Peter Meijer may be a son-of-a-bitch Republican rascal to many of you, but he actually did go into the military while nary a single Trump or Kushner has. During WWII, the British Royal families and other upper class twits as well as the Bush, Roosevelt and other US grand families had to perform military service.

I was thinking of your neck of the woods

i agree that peasant and more backwards culture tends to have low attitudes toward animals. It’s still common among native americans to eliminate bothersome pets by taking hammers to their skulls.

Awesome?

I always wondered that about Ken Burns. He grew up in Ann Arbor and came away dissing Detroit history that much. I wonder if the lad got thumped down in the city by some rowdy hard hats.

This is probably just ukrainian propaganda but.... Putin does act like an old man in a hurry, put another more clinical way is called "terminal urgency"

That's amazing! Love that

I'll say both suck. Favre obviously got away with a lot because he's whiter than Vick. Vick should have been shunned and I still shun him despite whatever happy story rehabilitation that has happened.

Lets hope we get back to a point where normal people see this picture and say...that guy is probably a Nazi

Or how much do you have to bribe Rob Manfred to allow your guy to juice and play with a juiced ball
