  • I wander if the US army could maintain the same level of secrecy and quietness with all the lawyers, human right activists etc in tow who demand to know, have right to know, have freedom of info to know etc. Well done Ukraine.
  • Where is the russian army? well some of it is sitting in port in Italy. Some of it was turned into a castle on the black sea etc etc... I hope the russian people start noticing this.

    To help break the siege of Vicksburg in the South, Lee invaded the North to threaten Washington. Of course that didn’t work for Lee. But Wagner showed how open the road to Moscow was last year.

    Arun Kundnani, adjunct professor at New York University, in a review of FDD publication Homegrown Terrorists in the US and UK argues that as a work "typical of many in its approach and conclusions", it does not provide empirical evidence for assumptions it makes and neglects contradicting data as a result of an influence by politics of the publisher and funders, and bias in favor of knowledge claims. -So talk a lot of B.S.then.

    It looks like the guy refers to the information of the beginning of the invasion, 3 days ago. Today Ukrainians already lost at least 900 troops, Russia is bombing the reserves and supply lines on the adjacent Ukrainian territory. The fight is far from over but gamble did not work, Russian offensive on the other areas did not stop for a second.
