    Random stuff burning in Moscow today after Russian air defenses shoot down some drones over the city (I don't know yet if any intended targets have been hit). Ukraine has a better strategy in that regard and aim to crash RU drones in the fields outside Kyiv.

    Thanks to corruption -- the Russian T-90M tanks have bricks instead of reactive armor.

    Cost-Cutting or Corruption – Russia Proves House Bricks Can’t Protect Tanks
    Russian President Vladimir Putin called the T-90M “Proryv” tank “the best in the world,” but the Ukrainian military has destroyed more than a hundred and a recent discovery may explain why.

    The Trump family is going to appease the Russian aggressors --- unless they can find some way to grift off the war. The good news is that the European NATO nations have banded together and stated that they will continue to support Ukraine no matter what the new Trump administration does. These European nations are wise enough to know they are the next victims of Putin's aggression if he is not stopped in Ukraine.

    Trump Ukraine policy remains TBD: https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...ine-is-peace-not-return-territory-2024-11-09/

    Well, I am perhaps not optimistic but it's not all black. Trump could conceivably end up making better choices than some of the loud people around him. At the end of the day Putin is in a desperate position of weakness here and it's not clear why the US should give him anything.

    I feel quite a sense of a panic from rabid Ukraine supporters.

    Ukraine is collapsing and money are ending in the same time.



    And now Ukraine shills on payroll.

    Pootie Poots has a severe demographic problem. Soon there will be no meat for his grinder.
