Convenient, no? Yesterday an American in Uke strolled through Kiev with his cell phone. No explosions. No bodies. And he hates the Uke government.

And if Russia is neutralized, Turkey will take their place as the next baddie we’re going to have to deal with.

Javelins are not a panacea for Ukraine. They are an infantry weapon with relatively short range though there are longer range versions possibly available. They can certainly destroy tanks but the infantry themselves are vulnerable to an enemy that controls the air and has sufficient numbers of infantry and IFVs to counteract them. The best way to kill armor is still aircraft and other armor.

I made almost that same comment the other day.

They’re calling this the first social media war.

Very, very selective & deceptive imagery coming out of Ukraine.

Very, very telling...

With everyone having a mobile phone, there’s a remarkable shortage of photos and video coming out of this war, don’t you think?

Exactly my thought.

You can't even have a brawl at a Waffle House without it going viral hours later. Yet here we are in "WW3" and it's like March 1942.

Do I have to go to a movie house to see a newsreel?

Agree. There might be one other explanation. The Ukrainians know the terrain. They may be allowing the Russians to move in until they reach a point where the column could be be ambushed and the tanks could not manuveur. could be reminiscent of how the Russians lured Napoleon further and further closer to Moscow, then had the definitive battle at Borodino crippling the Grand Armee forever and ultimately resulting in its annihilation. Perhaps that is why the Russians have not moved much further. Not likely they can deploy effectively from where they currently sit.Yet it does seem very strange that this column does not appear to have been harassed in some manner.

“What am I missing here? Ukraine is corrupt as the day is long.”

And your point is???

Is the invasion of Ukraine by Putin justified due to the corruption of the government?

Is the Kremlin less corrupt than Ukraine?

Is the entire population of Ukraine corrupt?

Do all those hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the country deserve what is happening to them?

The Biden family is corrupt. Does that make this whole country corrupt?

We will fight the Russians until the last Ukrainian.

Ukrainians will fight until the last Russian leaves Ukraine.

“Trump supports freedom for the Ukrainians. That also seems to be overlooked.”

No No No. The narrative being pushed by the left and media is that Trump and Putin are joined at the hip. Just the other day Trump called Putin smart. Countless masses of the low information/low IQ types actually believe this.

The article forgets to mention Trump sent these missiles while Barak sent blankets.

Don't forget the MRE's that Barack sent.

The answer to every one of your questions is probably either a Bob Dylan song or a Johnny Prine song. Stuff is getting old we’re just chucking Faadle...

Abandoned Russian modern T-72B3 obr. 2016, on the side of which we can now see "Glory to Ukraine" written.
