      I don’t understand why the last two administrations and the current one have been so hesitant to arm Ukraine.

      I’m sure I’m missing something obvious. Was it the fear that the gear would eventually end up in Russian hands?

        Are Poland and the Baltics constrained by EU to not take action? I’m a little surprised that they aren’t taking a more active position.

              Seems that your link has been taken down.

              Anyhow the BBC reports that the driver of the car, an elderly man miraculously survived and was rescued by passersby who presumably witnessed the atrocity.

              Elbows up!

                    I don't see how any of this is to the long-term benefit of Russia. They're a commodity seller and countries will be even more wary of Russian investments and economic entanglements going forward.

                      Machts nichts.

                      Germany, along with a couple of other European countries, will not agree to SWIFT sanctions.

                        If I was Russian, and I'm not, I would advise marching straight to Dunkirk, then turn south.

                        Why not?

                            I’m willing to believe Ukraine is causing more casualties than they are taking, but 10-1?

                              Normal ratio is that it takes three attackers to defeat one defender in a fortified position.

                                  UK Defense Minister is estimating 2/1. That sounds a little more likely.

                                    When one side has a lopsided strength in armor and air then the normal ratio takes a hit.

                                      This is all kind of strange to watch.

                                      In WWII, we had Robert Cappa. Then came CNN's real-time coverage of the first Gulf War.

                                      Now we have social media.

                                      It's weird to hear so many stories in real time. It's the exact same shit as with any other war, but also unique.

                                      Yikes.

                                      Please love yourself.

                                        My tweet of the day is from the Ukrainian ambassador in Germany. He replied to a "symbolic gesture" of lighting an official building in the colours of Ukraine by one of the politicians who most actively contributed to not actually helping them.

                                        It's hard to translate the tweet accurately, but it's basically a very undiplomatic "Fuck you!".
