    He's not mother Theresa either, but the only Opposition leader left.

    I wonder where smart, reasonable and skilled russians are? Probably keeping their head down or abroad. The brain drain ( and the oligarch drain [emoji6]) has been a thing in the last 20 years. The Soviet Union had the advantage that they didn't let anyone go. And still they lost the cold war economic Race. Interestingly it could be seen in glacial ice cores in the himalayas because the pollution (I.e. industrial production) went down before they officially announced glasnost. (But I think the study came out later and was a byproduct of climate change research).
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

    Is there any way for the Russians to tell who is operating a particular drone? Like, can they tell if the feed is coming from within Ukraine vs. from Nevada?

    Wow. Cell video of the mayor of a town in Suny region asking the citizens if they want to fight, because the Russians have given them an ultimatum: surrender or be destroyed. This is straight of an ancient history book.

    I thought it was interesting that Penn jumped in there. The source surprised me. I guess

    I look forward to his content. There must be an interview out there somewhere?

    Thinking about it. Would anyone be surprised if he worked with/ for the CIA.

    If they do grab Taiwan, do we go and get Cuba? I'm not sure we want it, but just for fun?

    I would be asking myself am I going to make a difference or just be another bag of meat the Russians spent a bullet on?

    Pretty rough. I hope they have a plan and the training to do some damage

It just seems if the west could Jerry rig a couple of delivery wagons to offload 50 tons of munitions, it could really impact the next few weeks of this war.
    Hypothetically 40 miles at 200 vehicles per mile (2 every 50 feet) at 2 missiles each is 16,000 missiles. The smart missile fired from a Bayraktar weighs about 40kg. So 640 tons. Need platforms/delivery systems too. Could cause a lot of trouble with less than that though.

    Putin has a plan - shell it till it's flat. Maybe bomb it too. Shutoff communications and #fakenews any photos/videos that get outside Ukraine. He doesn't care how may die. Less resistance and fewer to feed or "re-educate."

    In order to get that plan working, he needs to fix that supply line traffic jam. And it’ll take time.

    And while that’s happening civil aviation in Russia is about to fall apart. Boeing & airbus have cut off spares, etc. the plane leases don’t conform to sanctions either, oh and nobody wants to buy Russian oil - like 2 million barrels failed to clear.

    The unfortunate part is the body count is gonna keep climbing

    Most terrifying of all, Boeing has cut off software support.
