incredible insight there, pal.
Are you serious or sarcastic? I’m not upset either way. Just curious.

i was a bit sarco before. sorry. better now.
That’s fine I’m a big boy, I can handle it. I said it because it’s abundantly true. Neither side can give up their anger for the other. The choice of targets shows this has become quite personal. And until they find a way to move beyond it, it won’t end. The Russians may eventuality win. But then they’ll be the proud owners of an utterly devastated landscape, and masters of a people that despise them. That is not the making of a peaceful situation. It is the makings of a slow smoldering insurrection like Northern Ireland during the troubles.

When Russia wins the west they better watch out in the east. China feels they should own most of eastern Russia. If they are not stronger after Ukraine they will lose the back half of their country.
What’s been hit this month and will be hit again and again when hapless Russians repair them...... Oil refineries, oil storage tanks, oil export docks, electric sub stations, gas compressors that are needed to move gas in pipelines.
Ukraine keeps hitting oil cracking towers, this makes the entire refinery go offline. Putin’s army then has no gasoline and diesel to run on.
China has a lot of soldiers. But they don’t have any experienced troops. The last war they fought was a border war in 1979 with Vietnam. And they didn’t do so hot. That means there is no combat experience in institutional memory. Unless mowing down peasants with tanks counts. Sure, they have enough people and equipment to make a mess of things. But I doubt the Russians would think twice about leveling the playing field with tactical nukes. Either way, it’s not something we’d be involved in.

Were drones over Alaska too?
whoa, there you go again with the incisive comments! 😁

Excepting mass migration, it’s technological advances that topple civilizations.
Russia is getting what it deserves.
Putin tried (and may succeed) in reestablishing Czar Nicholas II’s empire and then again he is using the CHEKA/NKVD military tactics where the lives of his men mean nothing, just take the objective.
When Moscovites get rattled, the throne is endangered.
What can I say? I’m of Irish descent. Sarcasm brings out the best in me!😁

“Putin’s army then has no gasoline and diesel to run on.”
This is great news! It means Russia won’t be attacking NATO any time soon.
The royal “we” again, you chickenhawking warmonger. Send your own kids, not mine.
Bring it home. That’s how wars end eventually.

Got butthurt, eh? I nailed you good, you chickenhawking warmonger. Send those dumb Kansas farmboys, not your kids, right? You’re too good to fight.

.do you still discount it when reported in The Moscow Times?“
Yes.
Yer funny, funny like a crutch, ya foreign weirdo...
