I see my maxim of ignoring a comment as soon as it starts criticising Russia/Putin is still valid.

Russia’s great advantage with the Hypersonic Gap informs me that Putin and crew will be as bold as Alexander and go to Brussels, which is today’s Paris–the enemy seat.

Honestly … with Putin at the helm? It’s not happening. I’ve no idea how you can even imagine it, let alone suggest it seriously.

Hack: it seems nazis have 35382 soldiers listed as missing in their archives. Ground forces – 667 pages with names, defense 546 pages, air assault 398, special operations 316 and the Navy 242 pages.

But Russia claimed more than that, I think 80,000 Ukies killed, back in September or October.

This is MIA, not KIA.
Extrapolating those numbers will reveal that the Ukrainian KIA claimed by Russia, is likely conservative.
Just my €0.02…

Another MiG-29 shot down and another AN-TPQ-37 counter battery radar destroyed. How many of those things did USA send?

There’s a nice new video up on Netflix, a Zelensky interview with David Letterman.
Very touching.
