        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Seems that it just gets better with every episode of Mikhailov’s Navy.

              I'd concentrate on the refineries. Oil and gas are Russia's economic lifeblood.

                Good point. Somewhere, perhaps in a link I posted a while ago, there was a comment that Ukraine's attacks on the refineries has cut Russian oil processing by 13% or so.

                I also saw a story that the Biden administration has cautioned that Ukraine should not strike targets outside its borders.

                          That seems to be the only thing Russia can do competently.

                              Ukrainians just might have hit something more than a routine weapons factory. Could have a negative effect on the Kremlin in a large predominantly Muslim region.

                                  I saw that in The Moscow Times this morning as well. Goes to show you that in the Russian army anyone’s son will do.

                                  I hope he does not die well fighting for Putin or his cause.
