yes, let’s all cheer on the javelin. You don’t want a conventional war? How about a nuclear one. Almost everyone here is missing the point. This war was preventable but was intentionally ignited by the Biden/DeepState admin. We should be actively trying to push for peace and give up the Ukraine/NATO thing. Every death be it Russian soldier, Ukrainian soldier or civilian is a tragedy and we should be trying to STOP it. Quit being bewitched by the MSM.
Yet if somehow the Ukrainians were able to largely destroy that column, doubt Putin would survive politically.
A “saint” is a mere human. Blasphemy? Kinda odd.
Ukraine is more corrupt than you can imagine. What we’re seeing is the equivalent of warlords fighting for spoils.
It was the Russian allied criminals that ran the Crimean election.
That came from expats that lived there during the last invasion. The Tatars were not allowed to vote.
“There has been much made of this 40 mile long Russian convoy that is approaching Kiev from the north and is said to be just a few miles outside the city. If the Ukrainians have Javelins, drones, some aircraft and know the terrain well, how is it that this massive convoy proceeds or positions itself without being attacked? Any insights or comments”
Watched a “military analyst” on CNN. He said that 40 mile convoy isn’t the most urgent threat. It is mostly trucks (supplies). Ukraine’s more urgent target are tanks, etc.
Well yeah, if nobody random is taking pics, and we’re seeing like 10-20 pics a day, who is taking those pics and is it giving any sort of accurate sense of the war so far?
“With everyone having a mobile phone, there’s a remarkable shortage of photos and video coming out of this war, don’t you think?”
Lots of videos if you want to watch them. Great site here:

“Ukraine is corrupt as the day is long.”
As opposed to our Union government, politicians, apparatchiks, and oligarchs.
[”U.S. assesses that morale is flagging in some Russian units, and that some Russian units have surrendered without a fight in Ukraine, a senior US defense official says”]
[”U.S. believes Russia’s main advance on Kyiv has had no appreciable movement in last 24 hours, fuel, supply shortages, possible regrouping - US official”]
About the same as the govt. pays for a urinal, isn’t it?
I don’t think that’d do much good against an actual tank, but it would probably disable a lot of thin-skinned vehicles.
Right. Not opposed to, they have their hand in the cookie jar also.
...IEDs...

There’s too much talk of IUDs on TV.
Oh, that's very different....Nevermind!
I also agree.Most of the Ukrainian people are not involved or responsible for the corruption of their govt any more than most of the people of the USA are responsible for the corruption of the US govt.
Gee, there’s all the war footage a person could want on screens at the local Church’s Fried Chicken.
Sorry, couldn’t help it!
They're not using modern tanks, they're using 50 year old T55 tanks from what I have read.
