RE: marines can’t swim.

And the sailors were told by their moms “don’t go near the water.”

Zelensky had a money pitch with the leaders of the Senate today.

He just canceled.

It's over

How the war ends in 2024: A complete collapse of the current Ukrainian regime AND army.

They’ll look strong until that moment of sudden collapse.

If Russia had shown more competence it would have already occurred.

Maybe if they are so sure of their civil war, they conscript everyone and wage total war. Or, maybe the conscripted citizens are ready to say enough and send Zelenskyy packing.

“Several brigades were supposed to be posted here, not individual companies — we just don’t have enough men,” the anonymous soldier said after spending weeks on the Russian-occupied side of the river. “There are a lot of young guys among us. We need people, but trained people, not the green ones we have there now.”

He explained that some soldiers spent “just three weeks in training” and some have “only managed to shoot a few times.”

“It’s a total nightmare. A year ago, I wouldn’t have said that, but now, sorry, I’m fed up,” he stated.

True. But Russia's main aim of the SMO was to bring UKR to the negotiating table. That worked until NATO intervened and scuttled the impending ceasefire agreement.

NATO hoped to degrade Russia more at the expense of many thousands of UKR lives and many billions of USD.

In the end, what will soon be achieved could have been achieved without bloodshed. But NATO was thirsty for blood.

Maybe FR’s Rev. Mom and other propagandists can organize their friends and go over to join the front lines as fresh cannon fodder.

Sure, Russia could have crushed them hard.

Maybe Putin actually has a heart and wanted to limit damage and death.

What the hell happened? The Ukranians won every battle, killing Russians by an 8 to 1 ratio, until they ran out of Ukranian soldiers? They must have just plum wore themselves out killing Ruzzians.

I heard that a guy named Dan, now in his mid-50's, has experience from organizing a gigantic bake sale 30 years ago in Colorado.
