Putin is surely still of the mind that he must keep the eastern parts of Ukraine Resources and Sea Port.. BUT I saw a list of the weapons the USA sent Ukraine yesterday and his generals are (bleep) their pants

Not just all the deaths but Russian military tries to destroy the cities and towns too so even if they retreat it is still hell there

Supposedly booby traps in many places.. on a side note.. why do they call it a booby trap..

This reminds me years ago when they had a pilot defect to the US base in Japan with a Mig-25. The Mig-25 was hyped as a world beating fighter jet but instead its electronics were vacuum tubes.

The West has done a good job not reacting to Putin's bluster and threats.

I think he is terminally ill personally, the guy is acting bizarrely and seems to be holding his arm to his side like maybe he had a mini stroke or something.

Well, not really. Ukraine got a lot of weapons and now Finland is stupid enough to want to be part of Nato. Sweden unfortunately as well.
