    Zelenskyy says Putin is 'convinced' that his 'special operation' in Ukraine is going as planned (msn.com)
    Zelenskyy says 'nobody' but Putin 'has the power to stop the war' (msn.com)
    When it comes to ending the war in Ukraine, it is said that Putin is the only one that can stop the war and has the power to do so. Putin has determined that the war won't be over until he takes over Ukraine and has total control. Like I said before, Putin wants to be dictator and have the totalitarian moving Ukraine as part of Russia. What else can I say about it?

    Well, that depends on how quickly Russia's assets and reparations get funneled into Ukraine's reconstruction, and the time it takes to rebuild Mariupol, of course.

    The winners don't pay reparations. You should know that. Just imagine if the rule of law was applied equally. How many reparations would the USA have to pay?

    We placed a bet on the different winners. My bet has much better return than yours. By the way, Noble Yeats won!

    it is...on all their albums...
    But...as you say....anyway the bloke is a champagne socialist that can't reconcile his wealth with his upbringing...

    Hey!! yanking this slightly back on topic....do you think Putin will find himself in the Fletcher Memorial Home.....
    for incurable tyrants and kings
    and they can appear to themselves every day
    on closed circuit t.v.
    to make sure they're still real
    it's the only connection they feel.....

    That sounds like a good idea, instead of Putin dragging this war on and on and then, maybe at the very end, press the red button in desperation.

    As Russia continues to wage war, some Russians are fleeing to neighboring Georgia and expressing support for Ukraine, CNN's Matt Rivers reports.

    Yes, the Russians did that. And a defense based on a claim of an obsolete weapon only makes us laugh. The Russians are using a lot of old stuff because that's what they have.

    Russia Just Lost A Killer Drone Over Ukraine. It Can’t Afford To Lose Many More. (msn.com)
    Ukraine’s Bayraktar TB-2 drones firing tiny guided missiles have wreaked havoc on Russian forces in Ukraine.

    The Ukrainians aren’t the only ones with killer drones, however. The Russians are flying their own armed unmanned aerial vehicles over Ukraine—and they’re chalking up kills, too.

    But there’s a difference of scale—potentially a big one. The Ukrainian air force and navy probably can keep TB-2s in the air around the clock. Russian forces, by contrast, “are flying few Orion drone sorties over Ukraine,” tweeted Samuel Bendett, an expert on the Russian military with the Center for a New American Security in Washington, D.C.

    You have to wonder how long can this go on. Something ahs got to give do you think?

    Some intelligent philosphers say that only people with lower IQ say there is no answer to a question. Every question has an answer. It's not me saying, it's the philosophers. Intelligent ones.

    I don't think so.

    Good luck with that. The serial number of that Tochka-U is clearly visible. The Nazis aren't so bright.

    And of course:

    “Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the questions themselves; because these questions enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our intellectual imagination and diminish the dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against speculation; but above all because, through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind is also rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.”

    ― Bertrand Russell

    And yet, no one whose salary isn't in rubles makes that claim. Go figure.

    t seems pretty clear that the Russian Hordes are getting pretty badly whupped. Perhaps the real question should be, will the Ukraine chase the Russians back to the border and stop there.
