I do not see how Russia can endure this. It's a complete disaster from every perspective.

I do not see how Russia can endure this. It's a complete disaster from every perspective.
Them Russian boys are dying by the thousands on Ukrainian land...
And I find no joy in this. They didn't have a say.
“Lonely Anatoly: The Russian ambassador is Washington’s least popular man”
“Adrift and defiant, Anatoly Antonov walks the halls of an increasingly empty embassy, waiting for someone to call.”
“No one wants to talk to Anatoly Antonov.
Russia’s ambassador to the United States can’t get meetings with senior officials at the White House or the State Department. He can’t convince U.S. lawmakers to see him, much less take a photo. It’s the rare American think tanker who’s willing to admit to having any contact with the envoy.”
“Not even Russian leader Vladimir Putin chats with him.
The pair haven’t had a conversation since just before Antonov departed for Washington in 2017, the envoy admits. They haven’t spoken even in recent weeks as Russia has waged full-on war in Ukraine — a “special military operation” as Antonov dutifully calls it, in line with Kremlin demands — that has pushed U.S.-Russian ties to a breaking point.”

Kill every Russian on Ukrainian land then burn the body to a crisp.
Good idea. You are on your way over to help, right?
I’m supporting them with my tax dollars. Send every javelin we can build.
Yes. Another patriotic hero whose never put his own @$$ on the line.
Did he die IN the attack, or afterwards, in the political recrimination executions?
Seems Russia has more dead generals than we have covid cases
why should my tax dollars pay for a Neocon's lust for war? I'd rather build a wall in Texas.
The Kunikov was seen to be on fire. I wonder again what hit these ships. It might have been an earlier use of the Neptun missile. That system does have the necessary range.
Apparently you can just throw a rock and hit a general every time.
From day one this hero has been screaming “Kill every Russian”. From 6000 miles away.
“Caesar Kunikov”
