Yes that’s because nothing is happening. Kiev live cams show Zippo war going on.

I don’t think we’ll ever know what’s going on until it’s over. Trying to follow the war through the liars in the media is futile. They all have an ideological dog in the fight and don’t hesitate to mold their news accordingly. I like Gravitas despite the grating, obnoxious woman who reads their news, but they’re very favorable toward India.

I suspect we won’t know even after it’s over
At least not from a American press.

I have a developer who lives in Kiev. He responded this morning with this:

Thank you
Accommodating refugees
Waiting for mobilization

Good to know he is safe and still has power.

Strange how Russia seems so hesitant. Is their plan this slow developing? I feel like they were hoping for something to happen that didn’t, yet. They either wanted a large incident to occur that they could blame for the escalation, or maybe they were figuring on foreign intervention that they didn’t get.

” After ALL that has happened, the power/internet is still on.”


I made the same observation in the face of all the propaganda twit videos coming out today.

Perhaps because it’s not an invasion: It’s a grand power play on multiple fronts. One with months/years of planning and zero action on the part of Xiden.

Gee: Wonder why. /s

I tend to believe the speculation that so far, Putin’s goal isn’t to destroy the Ukraine, but to destroy the Ukraine government and install a puppet regime like he did in Belarus.

Russia easily could go ‘scorched-earth’ on Ukraine by destroying power, communications, and water infrastructure and flatten the cities, but then they’d have to rebuild it all.

And most of Russia’s pipelines to Europe (and thus most of the source of Russia’s cash income) goes through the Ukraine. If Russia destroys the country’s power and communications grids, they are also shutting down their own source of money, and simultaneously lose the leverage they have over Europe.

Yeah, that is a head scratcher. Seems Putin would want lights out and zero communication abilities. Strange indeed that the world has a front row seat that the Russian populace don’t.

I agree completely with your assessment. Putin is probably 5 steps ahead of the woke warriors in NATO and here as well. The leader of the free world is a senile old sock puppet that does whatever his wife and advisers tell him to. He intentionally gave the green light to Putin when he said that a “minor incursion” would be tolerated.

Maybe Putin was thinking Ukraine President was gonna take the “invite” from Biden to flee? He said Let’s go Brandon! I don’t need a ride, I NEED AMMO! The fighting is here!

Your forum is on vaping? Did vapers need a forum?

“He intentionally gave the green light to Putin when he said that a “minor incursion” would be tolerated.”

That sounds a lot like what happened a few weeks before Saddam’s invation of Kuwait. Bush 41 admin quietly said “Not our concern” when asked how we would respond.

It appears that Russia didn’t even cut off power from the functioning Chernobyl reactors. That would have been as easy as flipping a few swtiches, or even blowing up a handful of transmission towers.

The only sure thing about this ‘war’ is that the press is lying.
