    Not whining... combating. I was a Soldier for decades and got in the habit of defending America from enemies, as they say, "Foreign and Domestic"

    OK, keyboard warrior. Now take your "combat" elsewhere, because this thread is about real combat.

    There are several already, and I don't intend any further discussion of that in this thread.

    Putin is still so afraid with NATO and the west and now he exposed how weak they are in terms of conventional warfare relying ultimately with it's stockpile of nukes. If ever NATO and the west does have that leverage to intervene fully with the present fracas, I'm sure sure Russia will have a very sore butt and that's for sure.

    On that note, rumor and photo's are indicating Russia will try amphibious assault soon on Odessa. Odessa is supposed to have anti-ship capabilities so if they get to close to that it might be bad for anyone on a ship. Soon as in by tomorrow btw. Not sure there has been a sizeable naval assault landing anywhere against a city the size of Odessa in a long time, lots of risk.

    Beaches in Odessa now are mine fields.
    First troops to unload the ship will never walk again, if they survive.

    Yes... very much so. This whole war seems to be old fashioned equipment owned by the aggressor facing old fashioned equipment owned by the defenders.

    IMO, US intervention inflicted great lasting harm on the entire region. Even if Saddam has conquered SA and the Gulf states it is hard to imagine how this would harm the US or the West.

    Beyond that, it does not take divisions of troops to take out a tyrant and the political class that supports him.

    We will be studying for years why the Russians are stopping to attack cities and strong points. Its some very old tactics.

    Just speculation based on photos and people who track naval movements. Supposedly large presence and troop transports in the water, I don't know why they would try seems risky if Odessa really does have anti-ship capabilities. Russia can lose tanks, they don't have naval assets that can be replaced so easily.

    Lots of articles if you look it up, and lots of rumors on twitter that they have already left Crimea and are on the way.

    I'm sure Putin never expected so little advance by now. I hope he isn't TOO crazy... desperate nutcases are dangerous.

    Sometimes these kind of moves are intended to draw opposing forces away from a real target.

    I imagine they will land somewhere in the vicinity of Odessa, like between it and Transnistria, assuming it is safer that way.

    The USG acids addressing human rights violations or concentration camps beyond occasionally estimating the body count.

    “Even after the reality of genocide and Rwanda had become irrefutable, when bodies were choking that Kagera River on America's nightly news, the brute fact of the the slaughter failed to influence U.S. policy except in a negative way. As they had done in Bosnia, American officials again shunned the g-word. They were afraid that using it would have obliged the United States to act under the terms the 1948 genocide convention. They also believed, rightly, that it would harm U.S. credibility to name the crime and then do nothing to stop it.”

    “At an interactive agency teleconference in late April, Susan Rice, a rising star of the NSC who worked under Richard Clarke, stunned a few of the officials present when she asked, “If we use the word ‘genocide’ and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November Congressional election?” A PROBLEM FROM HELL, America and the Age of Genocide, Samantha Power Harper Collins 2002, p. 359.

    Nah. Von Brown didn't "migrate". Most Indian engineers aren't migrant either. And why would you take others achievement as your own? You didn't send anybody to the moon, you didn't invent the airplane, you didn't invent the electric car... Other INDIVIDUAL did. Are you a communist who's trying to hijack other successes?

    You're trying to derail this thread with that CRT nonsense when the bloody thing isn't even part of any curriculum anywhere. At least wait until somebody includes it in a program to complain.

    In any case, I've lost patience with you, to the ignore bin you go.
