Russia has tested the world’s most powerful vacuum bomb, which unleashes a destructive shockwave with the power of a nuclear blast, the military said on Tuesday, dubbing it the “father of all bombs”.

I knew I had heard that somewhere.

The Russians aren’t known for pussyfooting around. Look at pictures of Grozny in the 1990’s.

Are there 10,000 Ukrainians willing to die for their country?

I suspect they'd rather have 100,000 Americans die for Ukraine instead.

Slovenly and dirty “soldiers”. They look like street beggers.

I agree if Putin does not roll up Ukraine fast desertion will be high and very low morale. Then he will get bogged down quick in a quagmire he cannot afford.

Worn out shoes, Worn out clothing not even uniforms. Weather in Ukraine Cloudy and 30f to 40f range.

Ukraine had plenty of time to prepare hope they used it wisely.

Modern semiauto precision rifles with scopes are now as accurate as bolt action rifles.

Putin would call it a success. He may have a simple task. Capture and/or execute the Ukrainian leadership. Then call it a day. He wouldn't allow himself get into another Afghanistan. He's too smart for that. He'll cut his losses when necessary.

Exactly

Be slaughtered by Russian army to support a despot and his ultra corrupt cronies who took power by force which the western media calls the flowery as usual inaccurate name progressives and globalists make up called euromaiden

They never use names which demonstrate the truth

It’s not a good choice for Ukraine citizenry ....Zelensky goes and the nation is partitioned and decides to be compliant to Russian interests and drop threats to join NATO

that or die for a less than grand ideal

It’s a sour deal admittedly at this juncture

And the making of the naive opportunistic west as much as the aggressor Putin

Same as Kosovo where we wrong

And the same shrill western war hawks most of whom have never busted a grape call for blood

It’s a bad or worse inevitability

They cannot beat the Russian army

We are not serious obviously ..just talk ...talk which contributed to this rout

We and Europe won’t even cut off Putin’s $$$ so far....

Nobody on our side should encourage them to be massacred needlessly

As a side note, there was some US ex-general on Maria B’s show this morning advocating a negotiated surrender because civilian casualties in Kyiv would be unacceptable. Calling the hand out of arms to civilians a mistake.

What an embarrassment. Glad he’s an Ex.
