No, I'm the one who posted the Weather Underground ten day forecast link, which shows the wind speeds.

It's 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit over there, not over here where I'm at, considerably colder.

We know how to dress for the cold, just like Russians.

I let the local National Guard armory hold onto my armored vehicles for when I need them.

They were poised on the border for months. Nothing has changed other than they are 10 miles from the downtown area of the capitol of Ukraine.

Putin is giving folks time to flee before they take control. Sheesh.

Our stupid media keeps serving up the slop.

You have plenty of fuel. Well, if you are lucky enough to afford it anyway.

If I’m the Ukes, I’m hitting the fuel trucks. Easy targets to torch, and without them, the convoy’s armored vehicles are easy targets once the thousands of 1 and 2 man anti-tank missiles arrive.

If the Russkis do have fuel, colder (to refreeze the ground) would be better for tanks, etc.

Hitler often got good advice, and then did his own thing, to his generals’ dismay.

As soon as I saw the word “Newsweek”, I knew this was Fake News.

Speaking of villas, does Zelensky still own that 12 room villa in Tuscany, or did he sell it when he bought the $34 million mansion in Florida?

Where the hell is the Ukrainian army and all those Javelin missiles we gave them?

I’d imagine several thousand refugees dying of exposure might be a bigger problem for Putin in the long run than weather I’d expect Russian soldiers to handle pretty well.

Patton’s 3rd army pulled off the bulge and relieved Bastogne in 1944/45 in a lot worse conditions than the weather now. With older cruder equipment. Ever ride in a deuce and a half? You move mechanized equipment with ground troops. The ground troops have a function too.

Oh, boy, if I’m a Uke “partisan” I’m loving that scenario.

Thank God that Russian soldiers do not know how to lit a fire in a forest to get warm. No, no, no, according to this article, they will continue walking until finding Ukrainian troops to surrender to. It does not matter whether they can find them nearby or not. They will walk. 😂

You must mean $200 billion, right?

True, but he does not pretend to be a “man of the people.”

Putin is 25 years older than Zelensky.

Give the little nebbish some time...he’ll catch up.

He already has $1.2 billion in a bank in Costa Rica.

Thanks to Kolomoisky.

If it was Milley’s boys, they’d just cuddle up.
