The Ukrainians have successfully counter attacked the Russian penetration and have cut a lot of it off. They appear to have successfully sealed off the breach in their lines for now.

Trump is also finding out that there is no way to negotiate a peace with Putin. He wants what he has taken, plus ...

The Russian breakthrough yesterday was surprisingly deep compared to daily progress over the past months. However, the breakthrough appears to be only infantry with small arms, as little to no heavy equipment is evidently with them.

Reports are that the Ukrainians in the area are critically short ...

China's Achille's heel has always been, and still is, food.

Once a war starts, their agricultural imports will mostly be cut off and they will slowly start to starve. In the end, this would probably bring about the internal revolution necessary to overthrow the CCP.

Same thing brought down the ...

There's no feasible way to stop or even meaningfully slow down our debt problem, given how people screamed over a budget cut that amounted to 1/1000th of total federal spending. It's not just the United States. The rest of the world has the same problem. China's debt problem makes ours look small ...

On the surface it seems that economically the West, especially the US, is doing pretty well. Everything seems to be going along as normal, just as it has for decades.

I also found it rather funny that Adam Schiff is now most likely to get prosecuted for mortgage fraud (claiming to be a Maryland resident ...

I am perfectly fine with us doing everything possible to help the Israelis and everything possible to hurt the Iranians.

Israel exists because everyone hates the jews, the area is where they are from (pre-dating Arabs), and the US has always and should always be their friend and protector.

I am rather concerned with the Isolationist tendencies of many conservatives, esp in regards to Ukraine and Iran.

I get it that the US has gotten involved in many needless conflicts, such as Vietnam trying to re-unify itself, and of course the Iraq and Afghanistan messes.

Vietnam did itself no ...

A lot has happened, and I feel I have to apologize for not posting as consequential things have transpired.

My wife was cleared by her doctors to travel for a while, so that is what we have been doing. Today we were in Morocco. So, given our travels, and my focus on my wife, it is rather difficult ...
