    The mobilized:

    In Belarus, "Hell no, we won't go."

    Mobilized? Bring this kit with you. You must provide:

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

      Don't know if it's true of not, but someone posted on Twitter that Putin signed a declaration exempting Lyman from the annexation. That sounds like a desperate ploy for negotiations.

        @Mik

        I saw that tweet as well. It’s pure satire/sarcasm.

                        More:

                        "It can still get worse for Putin and for Russia. And even the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield won't change this at all," Petraeus said.

                        Still, he said the nuclear threat must be taken "seriously."

                        Karl asked him if the use of such weapons would require the U.S. to directly intervene in the conflict with NATO.

                        Petraeus said a response might see the U.S. and its NATO allies "take out every Russian conventional force that we can see and identify on the battlefield" in Ukraine, the contested region of Crimea that Russia annexed in 2014 and ships in the Black Sea.

                        "It cannot go unanswered. But it doesn't expand -- it's not nuclear for nuclear. You don't want to get into a nuclear escalation here," Petraeus said. "But you have to show that this cannot be accepted in any way."

                                        To answer your question. All my Russian contacts are against the special operation and have therefore gone to ground so to speak on discussing it openly. They are however worried as to what is next - they fear Stalin’s ghost in the wings for them.

                                        Ukrainian contacts on the other hand are cautiously optimistic but recklessly vengeful.

                                          You mistake me for the real Renauda. An equine. She was into hay and oats. But not too much of the latter - Arabian through and through.

                                          To answer your question. All my Russian contacts are against the special operation and have therefore gone to ground so to speak on discussing it openly. They are however worried as to what is next - they fear Stalin’s ghost in the wings for them.

                                          Ukrainian contacts on the other hand are cautiously optimistic but recklessly vengeful.

                                          No way I'd make that mistake. She's a lot prettier than you.

                                          Probably a bit more even-tempered too.

                                          What a wonderful and scary description.

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