So they're taking down street signs so the Russian army won't know where it is or where it's going?

Assuming every military vehicle has GPS. 

Seems like Russian soldier on the ground are low in moral. Still early though, but is shocking how slow the Russian advances are. 

Either Russian anticipated little to no resistance and are caught off guard or they are that slow and really still a shell of a military from the 1990s. 

The new sanctions tonight with SWIFT are great. I also like how the world is turning on Russia. 

It is inspiring to see Ukraine stand up to the Russians. Hopefully, we can continue to support them and they can give them hell. The more painful it is, the more likely Russia pulls back.

Gotta love these spineless politicians and world leaders suddenly crawling out of the woodwork thumping their chest like tough guys.  The only people with spines in this whole thing are average people just protecting their homes.

Glad they have come around to help.

If they weren’t going to send troops to help the fighting - which none of them were - there’s not much else they could do except what they’re already doing in the financial sector.  Agree that it’s the Ukrainian people that have some serious balls.

Not talking about sending troops.  People threatening to send other people's kids to die in a foreign land are not showing spine.  I am talking about politicians saying things they would have no balls to say weeks ago.  Sorry I just find politicians to be despicable life forms.

Can’t argue with that.  I think most are psychopathic or at least have narcissistic personality disorder.

So the latest propaganda is suggesting that Putin may be suffering from long covid, or possibly syphillis.

Interesting. I know Macron said something was definitely off when he met with last week. 

Considering how he has now put their nuclear forces at higher alert, his mental state is now something we need to consider. 

Strategic stability is a 2 way street here.

I have seen it suggested a few times he might have issues from Covid.  But Condi Rice today said he's very different from the Putin she's known and that he's acting irrationally and doesn't carry the same air of confidence.

How much of the east?  The Russians have not even been able to take Kharkiv.

They will carve out a pretty good chunk.  Hard to say.  25% of the country would seem plenty big enough.  Couldn’t see any more then that. 

Putin doesn’t want a border against a strong NATO country.  He is just creating his buffer zone.

Cancer? He might know he doesn't have much time left.
