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

            OK, none of the translators are coming up with anything. What's a khlopchiki?

                Hunting boys. Ok. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

                          And yesterday, Putin "justified" the attacks on infrastructure with the comparison of the attack on the Karch bridge.

                              The Wagner group appears to be a cross between an armed Latin American militia and the Nazi Einsatzgruppen.

                                          I imagine they've learned a lot from their missteps last February.

                                          OTOH, just how good are the mobiks? They've burned through a lot of materiel in 10 months (about 3K tanks, 200 aircraft). I imagine supplies are dwindling.
