Great time for a joint air/sea exercise with Japan off of the Kurile Islands.

Also remember the stories of how war used equipment from Iraq/Afghanistan piled up in Anniston waiting for refurb. We don't see it but for sure the Russian military is being rode hard these days.

Going half measures in war would probably mean you lose.

Is he all in? Or are they just maxxing out the contract army?

Both sides are keeping a tight control over information, no daily press briefings, no live camera feeds, no spokesmen, no claims of body count, etc.

But Zelensky and wife have found time to pose for Vogue cover.
Now ain't that sweet.

Re: Vogue. That magazine is like every other magazine, it prints what will sell. No one is going to buy a magazine with mr. p on the cover. No one wants to read about him. They will buy a magazine with Mr. and Mrs. Zelenskyy. After all, they are not old bitter and stupid. They are young. They are courageous and optimistic. And, they are smart. They are everything worth admiring by freedom loving people around the world. As to mr. p ... well, his mother might possible smile at him. Maybe. Sincerely. bruce.
