This reminds me of Russia’s 1940 invasion of Finland. Stalin’s Red Army looked grossly incompetent at first. But getting humiliated by the Finns made the Reds get their act together. Maybe the modern Russian army is entering that phase now?

Biden probably thinks it’s an April Fool joke.

Europe needs to step up. Poland and others need to get involved and the USA needs to get uninvolved.

I can’t recall seeing this map so lit up. Russia appears to be hitting Ukraine hard.

We have been hearing this was coming and it finally did. Zelensky keeps poking the bear to try to get the US involved in the fighting.

President Zelenskyi: It was one of the largest attacks – a combined one. More than a hundred missiles of various types and about a hundred “Shahed” drones. The strike targeted critical civilian infrastructure. Unfortunately, there are fatalities, and there are dozens of wounded people. A lot of damage in power infrastructure. Putin is a sick animal, but he can only do what the world allows him to do. Russia uses its own weapons of all types, as well as Shaheds and ballistic missiles from North Korea.

U.S., Britain, France, other partners have the power to help us stop terror. Tough decisions are needed

Zelensky has purposely escalated this conflict. Americans aren’t going to die for Ukraine. Anyone who tries to push that is going to be dead meat in this election.

That means you Kamala.

This is probably in retaliation for the drone strikes by the Ukes into Russia. Zelensky wanted to escalate the conflict and he got it!

Looks like the little sick dictator Zelensky got what he’s purposely been asking and pushing for.

....More than a hundred missiles of various types and about a hundred “Shahed” drones.....

Not to worry, though.

The Ukies shot down 200 of the 100 missiles launched.

How do we know?

'Cause the Ukies and Zelensky the clown told us so!

“Maybe the modern Russian army is entering that phase now?”

Because they are using Iranian drones and North Korean ballistic missiles ? It's the 3rd year they have been attacking Uke cities. The only difference is that soon they will taste their own medicine.

I wonder if we are all going to be flinging nukes at each other before election day?

That would be as good an excuse as any for Heels up Harris to “postpone” the election.

No country is going to do a nuclear first strike attack. That is suicide. lose-lose. Only Iran is suicidal and they do not yet have warhead ( that we know of ).

Sorry, I should have put quotations around Zelensky’s statement. Those certainly are not my words. Zelensky is just an installed and cornered puppet of the decades old USSA policy to break up Russia. A great tragedy for Ukraine and it’s people.

No need to apologize. I knew Zelensky said it because it is the kind of thing he says.

We are all good!😁
