So Putin dreams of another Stalingrad? He might want to look up the casualty figures on that one, and not the cooked-book Stalinist ones. The Germans lost, but the Russians lost more men, which they didn’t mind. And the nearly-forgotten simultaneous operation farther north, where the mighty Zhukov got his ass handed to him.

Oil & Gas could give Europe freedom from Russia and more
“Euros” to keep their socialism boat floating. ( ; ) where is Catherine the Great when you need her?
