Man, He got out when the getting was good.

He saw the bullshit writing on the wall and bailed. As much as I disliked him, the country is probably worse off

The only interesting things that are going on with the war in Ukraine are political maneuvering and obvious messaging. Last week it was Kim's trip to Russia to be hosted by Putin. Putin is in search of ammunition, Kim wants food and technology. Putin probably didn't get what he wanted - at least what is being made public. Kim probably got some souvenirs. All of this was for show with Putin trying to prove he's not isolated and Kim wanting to show he's something.

This week it's speeches by the parties and supporters of them to both the UN general assembly and Security Counsel. Zelenski pleads for his allies and others not yet in the fold to continue to arm the UAF for the purpose of kicking Russia out of his country. Before the SC, he rightfully asks how a seat on this body can be held by Russia who is involved in military aggression, genocide and has weaponized food, energy and children. Months ago he recommended to Gutierrez that Russia should be kicked off the SC - that's not going to happen but, he makes a point.

The general consensus from analysts that I'm reading is that neither side has any chance of achieving it's military objectives. I read one analysis that is already 6m old that predicted a stalemate that ultimately brings the US military into direct conflict with the RAF in Ukraine igniting something much bigger than a persistent, long lived, low intensity conflict. NATO is not involved as several NATO members won't commit their military to battle under the provisions of the NATO charter. Both sides lose equipment and soldiers in unprecedented numbers but US forces at significantly lower levels of attrition. US technological superiority in aircraft, tanks and fighting at night proves the difference even though the RAF has superior numbers. At some point, Putin is faced with capitulation on Ukraine's terms or escalating the conflict to a nuclear one.

Of course the alternative may be to leave Ukraine to hangout to dry by itself, unaided by the US and EU. Things are trending in that direction and if they come to pass, Putin will prevail. That would be a shitty outcome for people like me but a nuclear holocaust would be averted.

Apparently she was vaping and getting groped by her date...in Colorado...oh the horror...

[WingsFan]

Being too loud (and vaping), really nothing to call it - but a slow news day. The only thing I didn't like she played the "Do you know who I Am" card before getting kicked out of the theater.

Nit-picking on my part - That's a Pet Peeve of mine.

[THE_WIZARD_]

She is a flake. But doesn't compare to many D's in the scumbag department...

See Ya!
