Troops, civilians and maintaining solid defensive lines should take precedence over ANY particular piece of real estate in the short term.

...couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

That's a shame.


I thought he was doing a monologue from Hamlet.

That's a frickin' shame.

I'm a bit unhappy about it taking so long to get all these new toys on line.

Not as unhappy as Girkin tho...

Russia is having some modest successes right now.

Girkin may be too negative.


Now can they make a really big push? Will it work? Can they sustain the effort they are making right now?


Those are the questions on my mind.

Ukraine's forces still hold Bilohorivka, last part of Luhansk region - governor

Taking that would be a big feather in Gerasimov's very big hat.

Hint, hint, hint.

DAY 347 IN PUTIN'S WAR -- ORIGINALLY THE LITTLE THREE DAY SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION

That's been proven to be false.

I wouldn't have been surprised if had been ongoing, but this is a first. It's a little like children pointing fingers while saying, "well he did it too" in order to justify a wrong.

I've seen a few tweets with China saying they had permission to do the fly over. I don't know that that's fact either.

John Bolton, a known Trump hater, has said no Chinese balloons flew over the US during the Trump administration.

I don't have time to sort through all of the political "he said, she said".


To be honest, I have started to care very little about it.

Even if he didn't have to deal with Chinese spy balloons, I still don't want the vaccine salesman back.

Ever.

My enemies think somehow I am a Biden supporter.

The truth is I detest him and Trump equally.

Completely equally.

You may have been correct

The IC didn't really answer to him.


That's just as bad as knowing and not doing anything.


He wasn't really in charge.

He just got to play the role.

Russian Propagandist Shot in the Head Could Be 'Warning' to Wagner Leader
Story by Jon Jackson • 2h ago

A Russian propagandist/mercenary was the target of an execution attempt in Ukraine over the weekend when he was shot in the head, according to reports.

One analyst speculated that the shooting could have been a "warning" directed toward Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group of Russian mercenaries who have played a prominent role in the war.

Igor Mangushev was taken to a hospital on Saturday in the Russian-occupied town of Stakhanov, which is located in Ukraine's Luhansk region. Mangushev—who has claimed to be the originator of the "Z" sign that indicates support for Russia's war in Ukraine—was known for spouting pro-Kremlin views during appearances on Russian state TV before enlisting in the Russian army using the call name of Bereg.

The T_legraph reported that Mangushev's colleague Boris Rozhkin posted photos on T_legram of the wounded mercenary wearing bloody bandages on a hospital bed. The newspaper also wrote that doctors said Mangushev had been shot in the head with a handgun at close range.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote that Russian authorities declined to release more information about the incident, but Russian military bloggers described the shooting as an execution attempt. The ISW also referenced Mangushev's alleged ties with the Wagner Group.

Heed the warning, Prigozhin.

Go back to catering.

Russian Patriarch Kirill spied in Switzerland for KGB in 70s: media

The Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, a strong supporter of President Vladimir Putin, worked for Soviet intelligence while living in Switzerland in the 1970s, Swiss newspapers reported, citing declassified archives.


According to the Sonntagszeitung and Le Matin Dimanche weeklies, the Swiss police file on the man who today serves as the spiritual head of the Russian Orthodox Church "confirms that 'Monsignor Kirill', as he is referred to in this document, worked for the KGB."

The two papers said they had gained access to the file in the Swiss national archives.

Kirill, who today is a fervent supporter of Putin's war in Ukraine, lived in Geneva in the early 1970s, officially as a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church at the World Council of Churches (WCC).

Under the code name "Mikhailov", Kirill's mission was to influence the council, already infiltrated by the KGB, the papers said.

The Russian Orthodox Church has refused to comment on Kirill's spying activity in Geneva, while the WCC had maintained it had no information about the case, they said.
