If Putin starts slinging arty and FAE's into urban areas will the world still sit idly by? There are an estimated 3 million people still in Kyiv. There is even concern Putin will resort to tactical nukes given his fumbling army, what happens then? This sad story is FAR from over and it could get MUCH worse.

Fuel and food.

And the Russians moved the S400 forward...

MSNBC is hiring and they have no plans of changing their communist manifesto pronunciations.

Right out of Red Dawn, an abandoned Russian modern T-72B3 with "Glory to Ukraine" painted on hit. Stingers have taken a toll. Strella.mp4 Putin is throwing submunitions into urban areas, almost certainly a war crime.

We need India to speak up, they are a formidable force that has been a foil to both Russia and China.

Also, video and other reports of Russian armor stopped and out of fuel. As has been noted Logistics wins wars and it appears Putin's general seriously underestimated the pace and size of this conflict. While he is approaching on numerous fronts I would think that greatly complicates his logistical trail. Russia has seriously under performed and others have noted they likely would not fair well in a Fulda Gap conflict with NATO. Other reports show captured Russian soldiers who were conscripts and were told they were going on an exercise. They could have been playing to the camera but they certainly seemed dismayed and distraught. The sanctions are already hitting Putin and Russians. Many reports of Russians rushing to ATM machines and businesses asking to be paid in dollars. With Putin increasing his alert nuclear status and his invasion turning into a nut roll, what options does he have. Some have suggested he is mentally altered in the past year, with that in mind I hope we (the west), provide an obvious off ramp that stops his form being forced into a corner.

For those who want a bit more depth here is a crowd sourced real time order of battle map. Incidents are crosslinked with video and social media reports: https://liveuamap.com/ Another interesting but far less organized source is Snap Map I don't use Snap Chat but this site allows you to click on a particular area and individual snaps the residents are postings. Snapchat is obviously more focused on the younger crowd. I poked around yesterday and there were numerous posts from teenagers who fully grasp what is happening.

Yesterday the Brits came out and said they won't stop any of it's citizens from going to fight in Ukraine. Int he past they arrested and prosecuted those going to Afghanistan. Reason #69 why you don't try to Hellfire Putin. The odds of this spilling outside of Ukraine is sadly increasing. Good to see Germany step up with both equipment and Swift banking sanctions but we still have not targeted their oil...yes there would be many second and third order effects if we did.

Serious freaking stones. Can you imagine if we had a leader like this who wasn't a narcissist or a duncewagon, just patriot fighting for his country.

Hellfire the President of a sovereign nation that has more nuclear weapons than we do?
