Russia’s war machine is now facing public ridicule from 2 former close allies of Putin’s inner circle.
The Kremlin is attempting damage control by saying that “these are very intense, emotional moments “.
Reuters, WSJ I thought you said dissent was illegal in Russia? I guess you were wrong about that too. I check in every once in a while to see if anyone like Ren has been savaging you. Those guys are a hoot!

Gin Burns must be so proud that Toot Toot has taken up his thread...
Maybe even a "Sponsorship"... and a Wyoming Arms Photo Op.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Spent some time this weekend with a Russian lady who is trying to get her adult daughter out of Russia. No place to go, but a few. Finnish border now closed. No one with conscription papers, an IT background or medical background is allowed to leave.
You can fly from St. Petersburg to Dubai on Emirates, still. $16,000 for coach, and planes are full, full, full. Other options are through Georgia into Armenia / Turkey. Then, no visa to be had, anywhere.
Germany is offering politcal asylum to Russians subject to conscription.
Things are getting sporty....

Petreaus says that Putin is in a desperate position with irreversible battlefield realities. If putin attempts any nuclear moves and puts them into effect that NATO forces would destroy every Russian military asset that they have.

Putin and the Kremlin are now facing more chaos and unrest within Russia due to the ongoing military failures and the mobilization order.
The Kremlin states that the newly annexed properties really have no verifiable and established boundaries and they are developing the information. The Kremlin also acknowledged that Russian forces were withdrawing to more defensible positions.

Dang.
Looking like the Howler Monkeys and Glee Club have caved in, folded their tents and gone packing.

Ukraine strategy of splitting the Russian forces in the south and east appears to be effective. With splitting the two Russian forces the supply lines for those forces will be shutdown effectively starving the Russian forces of needed supplies and replacement arms.

Her sister lives in the northern territories the Russians just vacated, and she can't even find out if the house is still standing. Fog of war.

Elon Musk tweets that continuing the Ukraine War is going to kill thousands more Ukrainians only to achieve the same outcome as a peace deal right now.

Zelensky applied for fast-track NATO membership and was instantly slapped down.
Russia still holds 99% of the cukraine that it took.
After accusin Russia of considering the use of nuclear weapons, Brandon backed down and made it clear that no preparatory signs had been seen.
After insistin Russia give up and leave cuckraine, Brandon has opened "communication lines" to discuss a "resolution".
Russia is movin a considerable amount of equipment west in preparation for a large-scale Russian Army armored offensive.

Russia is movin a considerable amount of equipment west in preparation for a large-scale Russian Army armored offensive. The west is going to backdown and agree to allow Russia to keep the land they’ve taken after making some big private deals for cheap fuel that will benefit all the insiders. We’ll leave Ukraine in a scheit spot like we did Afghanistan, Iraq and all the other places we’ve meddled, and they will never become a member of NATO

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Ukraine about the size of Arizona and New Mexic combined?
