Indiscipline and lack of professionalism in the targeting process could just as easily explain the situation. I mean, of course, if you were one...
I don’t dispute the direct hit. I challenge whether the bus was being targeted or not. When it comes to the Russians, I have learned to never...
Resorting? I’m not sure there is anything new going on here since they realized the best their “precision” munitions could guarantee was +\- 1000m...
Well, two pages ago we were saying it was the rooster’s fault that the sun wasn’t rising. The important thing, we can agree, is that the sun rose.
In this case, I really don’t think it would matter who was President. There’s a story, possibly apocryphal, that when these two were rattling...

Sorry to hear that. Who’d you piss off?
This is the main thing I care about.
Not that you meant to walk into this, but this attitude is exactly what Russia wants you to embrace: the idea that this war is some kind of an...
Okay, but ask yourself what you’re more pleased about, that we don’t have to settle for a deal that Russia can pass off as strategic victory...
Well, no deal, for the moment, means no deal that gives Russia whatever it wants and normalizes armed conquest, ringing the dinner bell for China....
Strategic genius if you ask me. Putin has lured not only NATO but also other adversarial liberal democracies, such as Japan and Australia, to...
