“wary that Moscow could be setting a trap by feigning a pull-out”

I’d be very surprised, since Russia has so far not shown this level of strategic competence.

Russian defensive pill boxes in Nova Kakhovka on the eastern bank of the Dnipro river. Just appeared in the last 24 hours.

“I drove around Kherson. I don’t know why the Russian flag disappeared over the former government building of the Kherson region, but this is not a systemic phenomenon. Tricolors hang over other administrative buildings and educational institutions.”

I suggest that Jim create a text editor that automatically changes all geographical place names in Ukraine posts to the name used in accounts of the Eastern Front in WW2.

Chernivtsi = Chernovitsy
Dnipro River = Dnieper River
Kharkiv = Kharkov
Kyiv = Kiev
Lutsk = Łuck
Lviv = Lvov
Ternópil = Tarnopol
Toretsk = Dzerzhynsk
Zhytomyr = Zhitomir
and so on.

Who is with me?

If they start hauling ass AWAY from an area that wasn’t under imminent loss…that might be the time to start taking iodide tablets.

When the Russian proxy government leaves town, that tells what they really think about how the war is going. Scott Ritter and Alexander Mercouris can talk around it all they want. Russian actions speak louder than their shill's word.

Remember the jokes about military rifles that were "never fired, only dropped once", what about prefabricated pill boxes? "Never used, only blown up once" or "Never used, only one grenade thrown inside" sound a little off.
