I’ll defer to your judgment on that one, but upthread, I think it was established that the “tank” in the video is some kind of Ukranian self-propelled artillery that got separated from its unit and was driving, uh, poorly. In other words, it was a friendly fire incident.

Kazakhstan, one of Russia’s closest allies and a southern neighbor, is denying a request for its troops to join the offensive in Ukraine, officials said Friday.

Additionally, the former Soviet republic said it is not recognizing the Russia-created breakaway republics upheld by Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, as a pretext for its aggression in Ukraine.

My suggestion is just him appearing on Wolf Blitzer and talk a lot more. Like hot air, like TALK! Like sowing confusion in Putin’s mind. Like “all options on the table” that kind of ambiguity. It is the kind of rabbit hole that gives planners nightmare (even the more stupid ideas have to be taken into account, lest the other party is actually stupid enough to use them).

India traditionally has been very pro-Soviet/pro-Russia, despite being a democracy.

Kick their ass, Ukraine…

Don’t know how true this is, but it if is true he must be wary of losing more Russians. Reports were that they so far had committed less than half the deployed forces.

Very nice!

I just took a shit on Putin’s mistress’s bed and pulled the sheet over it

Take with the usual grain of salt.
