We can't go to war with Vlad directly, but we can fight a proxy war for as long as the Ukrainians can fight and hold territory next to NATO. We can make him pay in blood, treasure and domestic political support, perhaps even drive him to the bargaining table. Stop his blitzkrieg in Ukraine and anything is possible, it depends on armor and close tactical air support, both have been blunted or negated by tactical western weapons


Kyiv residents say they're "not ready to give up" as they're given guns to help defend their city

A commander at the center, who did not want to be identified, told CBS News that thousands of people had arrived to fight, but that many did not have any military experience. He said there were not enough guns to go around.

"Citizens of Kyiv are gathering here. They are receiving weapons here and guidelines how to run urban combat, how to provide medical first aid, and how to destroy Russians and take their weapons," he said.

Satellite images show more than three-mile-long Russian military column on roadway to Kyiv
As Ukrainians continue to repel Russian advances around Kyiv, new satellite images show a more than 3-mile-long Russian military convoy is on a roadway that heads toward the capital city.

According to Maxar, the convoy was seen on satellite images on Sunday around 10:56 a.m. local time on the P-02-02 road near Ivankiv, which is about 40 miles (60 kilometers) northwest of the Ukrainian capital. The P-02-02 road goes toward Kyiv.

Maxar identified fuel and logistical trucks, in addition to tanks, infantry vehicles and self-propelled artillery moving in the convoy.

Guns we've got, stingers and antitank weapons are the game changer.

Ukraine claims successful drone attacks against Russian forces
The Ukrainian military has claimed successful attacks by its Turkish-made force of drones against Russian forces.

On Sunday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine released footage showing the destruction of armor by a drone, and said it was carried out against a Russian BUK surface-to-air missile system.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, said the drone attack took place near the town of Malyn, 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) northwest of Kyiv.

The Ukrainian government began receiving the Bayraktar TB2 drones from Turkey last year.

Largest aircraft in the world destroyed at Ukrainian air base
The world's largest aircraft, the Antonov AN-225 Mriya, was destroyed by a Russian attack on an airport near Kyiv, according to the Ukraine government official Twitter account.

Mriya, which translates to "dream," had been sitting in its hangar at a Ukrainian air base in Hostomel, which had been the site of intense clashes on Thursday when the Russian military took control of the airbase.

Satellite images from Maxar Technologies show significant damage to part of the hangar in which the AN-225 is stored.

NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System detected multiple fires at the airport, including at the hangar where the plane is stored. A fire took place at the hangar where the plane is kept and was detected at 11:13 a.m. on Sunday, according to the NASA data.

NASA obtained the fire data from a number of NOAA and NASA satellites.

It is not clear if the fires at the airport are the result of actual fires or explosions from military strikes.

It means you don't have shit like that backed up on roads for miles unless there's big trouble at the front of the column. Ukraine has an air force and napalm or a cluster bomb could make a real mess 3km long. It means weakness and gross military incompetence to me and the experts on TV. Jesus NATO would have wiped these assholes out in a heart beat, it would have been hog heaven (A10 warthog)!

He definitely never played Dune II or Starcraft.

But then maybe if Putin says he‘s going for a blitzkrieg that’s exactly not what he’s doing. Maybe the young Russian soldiers who were told they were going on an exercise and the Chechens were calculated losses, expendables. I don’t know, can’t make sense of it.

I guess Russia is not as strong as people thought they were and Putin’s days are numbered.
I hope so, sure seems Putin‘s not very good at this. Which is worrying by itself. The worse it goes for him, the more he might escalate. A cornered cat makes weird jumps. I’m hoping there’s a Russian with a conscious who will take him out. But then, his generals and others in the government look like they had too much vodka since birth.

It doesn’t make any sense.

The worse things get for him the more dangerous he becomes. The CIA and MI6 do a lot of clandestine shit, there must be some way to get at the fucker.

Is Ted Cruz’s dad still alive?

Condoleezza Rice had some interesting things to say. She has met Putin many times.she hopes he Doesn’t try to connect Kaliningrad to Russia by going through the Baltic States. That would be article V violation.
