A US Coast Guard ship on a routine patrol in the Bering Sea near Alaska, came across three Chinese and four Russian naval vessels in single formation.

I truly don't understand why the General Staff hasn't taken Vlad out yet. They're military men, do they not see the reality of the situation?

Stalin purged three of five marshals, 13 of 15 army commanders, eight of nine admirals, 50 of 57 army corps commanders and, 154 out of 186 division commanders regardless of competence. Had Putin done anything remotely like it we would have heard of it.

The Russian military's failures to perform as expected stems from Putin and his cronies being too busy enriching themselves to pay attention to what was happening with its forces. Like all other large bureaucracies they sunk into paperwork purporting to prove how good they were without anyone examining their validity. This neglect has come home to roost.

Putin's dinner did not go well. Lukashenka only agreed that Belarus would sew uniforms for him.

If that kind of thing is going public, he'd better become superstitious and ban all umbrellas, as well as make sure all his tea is made in his sight, and all he drinks and eats is tasted before he touches it...

Putin is playing by a set of rules.
It is his own set of rules, but nevertheless...
If Ukraine now takes back any territory, he can declare this as an act of war, and change his terminology from a "Special Military Operation" to a defensive war.
That allows him to tell the Russian people that they are fighting a just war, something he couldn't do before.

I don't think you were the first person to think of that. It was obvious, after all.
