Like all ineffective leadership, he says the same thing three different ways to use up the time the camera is on him. I had a manager like that; Peter Principle recipient.

i just can't believe putin thinks NATO or most of the rest of the world is just going to sit by passively and watch him rape and pillage his way back to empire...the world breathed a huge sigh of relief when the old empire crumbled, and there is no fucking way Europe and the west are going to let it rise again, especially with a power mad kleptocrat like putin in charge of it

The problem with republicans supporting Vlad, is they are supporting big, strong central government, instead of states rights in Russia! Without large internal federal security forces, the FSB and election rigging, Russia would be in political trouble and in danger of dissolution, especially with the recent sanctions, crackdowns, censorship and troops from distant poor republics taking most of the casualties.
So these republicans who support Vlad, support big guberment and the resurrection of the communist evil empire. They are for excessive state's rights in America with a decentralized government and against them for Russians while supporting imperialism and fascism. Many of them are under criminal investigation, or soon will be, for sedition and conspiracy, among other things. Just last year 10 republican senators went to Russia to suck Putin's ass and they took Russian money through the NRA to get elected, another corrupt bunch who visited Russia regularly in recent years.

The TV we had in the late 60s was massive. The back plate was perforated hardboard. Through the holes I could see, hear and smell the tube electronics. This is when my ears could still hear the flyback transformer at 15.75 kHz.

I saw reports where the Russians were sending in a trainload of T80 and more MLRS, so Vlad is still sending shit into Ukraine, he's still getting sucked in and his remaining infantry and experienced troops are getting wiped out attacking and they are continuing to grind them down though at a cost in lives. They are fielding more infantry than the Russians and they have massed artillery, but are mostly wasting it on cities. The Ukrainians only fire at Russian equipment, troops or supplies, things that will degrade the Russians over time. The Ukrainians can replace combat losses and generate new regiments, while the Russians cannot. The Ukrainians are quietly accumulating equipment, while screaming for as much as they can get in desperation, leveraging the situation for maximum aid. An old maxim of war is to appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak. Ukraine is playing weaker than it really is and Russia is playing stronger.
During the battle of Britain, when America was neutral, the British found out Hitler called off operation sealion by cracking their codes and other intelligence. They never told the Americans for awhile, since the weapons were pouring in, because of the desperate struggle portrayed in the media and growing public support. Most of it ended up in the middle east and was not required to defend Britain, winter and the channel took care of that.

Former lieutenant colonel on Ukraine aid: Wars not won by ‘equipment,’ but by ‘troops and soldiers’
Retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis criticized recent moves by the U.S. to provide military aid to Ukraine, saying that sending just equipment into the country will not “help as much as people might think.”
Davis, a senior fellow and military expert for Defense Priorities, called the $150 million security assistance package for Ukraine announced by President Biden last week and a bill the president signed Monday to expedite the process of sending the country military equipment “deceptive.”
It may look like the moves to send equipment and weapons into Ukraine, as well as to expedite the process, would help the country amid the Russian invasion because “if you get enough of them in, you’ll be able to stop the onslaught,” he said during an appearance on Hill.TV’s “Rising.”
“But here’s the problem with that,” Davis said. “Wars aren’t won by equipment, they’re won by troops and soldiers.”
“And just getting lots of equipment in while the Ukrainian forces are continuing to suffer casualties is not going to help as much as people might think because you have to have trained soldiers [that know] how to fight this stuff and its so difficult to incorporate new equipment in, while you’re under fire from the enemy onslaught,” he continued.
Davis also noted that Ukrainian leaders, such as Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, are now aiming for the “complete eradication” of Russian troops from Ukraine’s soil and said claims that those troops are slowing down or are stalled are “premature.”
He said that Russia has in reality made “significant territorial gains” and is “moving Ukraine back bit by bit in the Donbas” region.
“If they complete some of these tactical operations that Russia is doing right now, they could actually surround and destroy thousands of Ukrainian troops and continue the march in the direction of Kyiv,” Davis warned

Might be worth listening to the video in the article. A two part one it seems.
