“Russian aerospace forces have become more active, but taking significant losses over the past day. Ukrainian air defense still up in some sectors, not to mention the numerous MANPADS. Have seen several aircraft and helicopters downed over the past 24 hours.”

“I try not to make too many predictions. I think given all the problems in the Russian campaign, delusional assumptions, an unworkable concept of operations, little prepared for a sustained war like this, I give it ~3 more weeks before this is an exhausted force.”

“Where is there water like that near Kiev.”

Look at a map.

PTZ camera in a warzone, fixed on a random target - IN THE ENGAGEMENT AREA, NO LESS - disassociated from the missile launcher, absent a timestamp?

Yeah, riiiiiiiight.

If it's two choppers shot down then it's a reservoir in east Ukraine. It was two days ago.

Quite a statement. But he was real quick to point out that it might not mean as much as we’d like to think.

I see the covid experts have now transitioned into war experts

I agree, something in that video is “off”. It just doesn’t look right.

It’s sad to witness the mental decline of a vet.

Apologies. I hope your condition slows with medication.

Wow, sad to see someone who quotes patriots like Sam Adams on his homepage not apply his principles to the Ukraine situation. Also sad to see an espoused conservative reduce yourself to childish name calling or disrespectful insults.

You claimed you didn’t believe the videos that are now all over. My usage of an old adage (mistaking piss for rain) was an opportunity for you to explain your conspiracy theory. You fail in being able to express thoughts intelligently so you resort to personal attacks.

You are a sad, pathetic hypocrite in a diseased state.

You are also egregiously in error, and I will not play hokey poke with a VA patient on meds.

See you on the battlefield; wear your armband.

You calling me out behind the gym? Are you really joe Biden?

Once again, you prove my initial assessment. You blindly dismiss evidence streaming in from countless sources because you have preconceived your own ‘truth’. None so blind....

Question is, like the school bully, can you resist having the last insult?
