  1. The Russian Ministry of Transport says train traffic will resume at 20:00 Moscow time, more updates to come later.
    Almost certainly bullshit to keep people from flipping out in Crimea.

    According to experts, the performance of the section and the organization of the movement of the first trains will be ensured by 20:00 Moscow time," the ministry said. As specified in the Ministry of Transport, an initial assessment of the state of the infrastructure of the railway part of the Crimean bridge has already been carried out. Restoration work is underway now. The Ministry of Transport also noted that the progress of restoration work and the restoration of traffic will be reported additionally.

    I had a dream last night.  I was like the movie Red with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman. 

    Putin is sitting on the podium for his glorious May 9 parade and then all hell breaks loose with one of his red white and blue demonstration jets getting shot down and crashing into the Kremlin, a Javelin takes out a Tank and then two snipers pop his head off like a T72. 

    For an encore they take over Russian tv signal and just send war crime video out to the whole country non-stop.

    This.  100% this.

    This got me thinking about all the cheers about the inept Russian advances.  I forgot the Russians lost almost 100K men to the Finnish.  Europe chided them for their inept showing, and according to some historians, helped change the mind (or advance his timetable) Of Hitler to break their alliance and invade.  We all know how that turned out.

    Napoleon as well.  Bolstered by earlier victories, the Russians "ripe" to be taken over.  Again, sound familiar?  

    I hope the UA can hold on, but Russia and throw a smothering blanket of men at them.  Overconfidence can lead to rash decisions - talks of a NFZ, direct NATO involvement, etc.  Here's to hoping we stay the course in supplying aid and material to the UA, but a direct conflict can see this spill over if we are not careful.

    I think the difference in both of your examples and the current affair is that the subsequent fights (Hitler and Napoleon) were on Russian soil.  So long as UA stays with the home field advantage their dynamic does not change

    There is no negotiation with Putin.  He is no longer a rational actor.

    If you're saying, "The West needs to convince Ukraine to capitulate entirely" then not only do I not agree, but there's no chance of it happening.  Every witnessed or published atrocity just hardens their resolve. 

     

     

    My (very) uneducated opinion:  The west has shut him in, he can only turn east.  This makes China the only actor that can bring this to an end.  We should be quietly negotiating with the Chinese to get this reigned in

    They can take the major population centers, encircle them and try and choke them out.  This also makes getting supplies to those fighting within much more difficult.  

    Would take a whole lot more troops than they have to encircle a city of millions - I am not sure they have the troops to fully encircle Round Rock...

  7. Got to hand it to Nicole. She has survived two preemptive tactical nuke strikes. Her response was kept conventional and defensive only and she continues to fight. How does she survive this? If she were to fall does she resort to carpet bombing the thread with nudes as a last resort?
