Russian invasion of Ukraine

They ran into a group of criminals who were out for blood, likely on drugs. They just were in the wrong place at the wrong time. There's no anti-Ukrainian mood over here. It's a real tragedy.

The murderer is a 15 year old German-turk who is already known as an intense criminal. He stabbed the two Ukrainians and two other youths who wanted to help the Ukrainians (a 14 year old Syrian boy and a 13 year old German-Lebanese girl.

The guy is a truly vicious character, it seems. No political background, though.

From "The Analyst":

CHASIV YAR IS NEXT

While Russia gets closer each day to its goal of taking Avdivka before March’s Russian fake president election, its other top of the list goal is Chasiv Yar on top of the hills in front of Bakhmut.
Intelligence sources have clearly identified it as a Russian target for mid March and the Russians have been transferring forces to the area to strengthen their efforts to take it.
This is why the recent Ukrainian counter attack in the area east of the hills took them by surprise and rather upset their own attack on the area at the base of the hills further south.
Ukraine had withdrawn under heavy pressure from a small forested area, and the Russians followed up with heavy armour - something they only do when they think they’re seeing a breakthrough moment these days.
The Ukrainians spoted the delay in the Russians taking advantage of their withdrawal and moved partially back in - they have the advantage of being on higher ground. This resulted in the destruction of half a column of Russian T-90’s and the rest bolted.
Russian activity in the Chasiv Yar area looks set to increase dramatically.
Not only are Ukrainian forces on the high ground but they have a series of prepared defence lines - structures they have learnt from the Russians that can be highly effective in holding back attacks and extracting maximum pain from any enemy troops.
While Russians are unbothered by who dies to achieve a goal, they do seem bothered by the statistics of how many - simply because of the problem of replacing the men that die, not because they care. Any offensive here looks set to be extremely bloody.
There is much discussion as to what to do about Avdivka. Supply lines are in essence cut, and time has to be given to get out of the easternmost areas when it finally happens - it seems inevitable barring some miracle, that something will give in the next week to ten days. But it’s not over yet and Russia must pay for every meter it takes.

Slava Ukraini !

What will Johnson do with the Senate foreign-aid bill?

At some point in the next few days, the Senate appears poised to pass a $95 billion package that includes aid for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine.

All sounds very uncertain. I've no trust for a Republican party in thrall to Trump.

This is the single most important thing since the Russian humiliation in the first three weeks of the war IMO.

He can't block it. Only with the support of every Republican in the house - and that isn't going to happen.
There are at least 15 old style Republicans in the House who will support Ukraine aid come what may.
See the article I posted above.
 
Today's video:


New Ukrainian weapon - Fast Lightweight Radio Controlled Cars mounting machine guns that don't trigger land mines and survive anti personal bomblet explosions.
Great for destroying tree line defences apparantly.

Musk needs to keep his nose out of the Ukraine's business. How he would feel if it was the US under attack?
Wonder if he would advise a women being raped to just lie back and stop resisting as it would be better for her in the long run.
The nob doesn't realise that would mean the rapist would be emboldened to just keep raping.

Just a good job he wasn't around during WW2 or we would all be speaking German now...!

Agree with the importance if it.
But really, there are more than enough traditional Republicans in the House with spines to force it through.
