I highly encourage this move by Putin and Moscow. It serves to further isolate the Russian market....

Italy and the EU could completely embargo all trade with Russia. That would teach a lesson.

We’re reconsidering our naval power in the face of a Chinese Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Our naval power, such as it is, seems to have its hands more than full trying to keep open the Bab-el-Mandeb straits. The Houthis are just too much.

The Navy’s Long-Range Shipbuilding Plan sketches out two paths to get to a larger fleet – one bounded by flat budgets and a second one that seeks to build the ships the Navy needs to reach its goal of 381 ships the service say.

Under Reagan there were 593. Now we have a long range goal of reaching 381 in thirty years. By then they may be a total anachronism, defenseless to missiles.

Odd question here, but if Putin had to flee Russia where would he go?

Probably the United States. Just cross our southern border like everyone else does, and go to a sanctuary city.

The side with the artilery and the shells is incurring more casualties than the side being hit by the artillery shells. It's a miracle and just proves that God is on the side of the Ukraine.

Back in WW2, the Russians shot a million shells in one day and the Germans had had enough. The Ukraine stronk as bull.

The denialism is strong with you Russian apologists

Nice to see you so upset (again) ... yet another sign that Russia is losing, LOL

Wouldn’t that be ironic.
