Oh absolutely. And not a world war. Lots of other differences. I just found it interesting that it was in subset of the front and Russia is throwing bodies into the meat grinder again.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

I’d say it’s more like WWI than WWII, but regardless the whole thing is absurd."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Is that cause of the bloody fighting that sometimes is over inches of territory?Originally posted by Moliere View Post
That's an interesting point. Drone warfare is changing everything.
Now that Ukraine is striking inside of Russia the conflict has changed. One of my criticisms of Biden has how long he took to arm Ukraine and the gatekeeping of longer range weapons. I wonder if things would differently if they had done that soonerComment

Probably after learning that it would be a very serious violation of international maritime law. Trump loves announcing big deals and moneymaking schemes, shooting from the hip, and demonstrating yet again why he was the dumbest student at Wharton.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Now this some weird shit, the CIA director went on a secret trip to Moscow. There has been a lot of chatter about Russia attacking a NATO country and using that as rationale for a massive mobilization.
Maybe it has something to do with Iran.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow overnight to meet with Russian officials, a US official familiar with his travel told CNN.
The official declined to share the substance of the meetings or the topics set to be discussed.
The CIA declined to comment.
The US asked Ukraine to halt drone and missile strikes in Moscow and other cities in the north of Russia ahead of Ratcliffe’s trip, a person familiar with the matter said. The request was for Monday through Wednesday of this week. The Ukrainians were told a senior US official would be traveling in Russia.
The visit is Ratcliffe’s first known trip to Russia as CIA director under President Donald Trump. It comes as negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine have stalled.
It also comes one day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced “Operation Economic Outcast” — a new strategy designed to isolate Iran from the rest of the world by punishing countries and entities that continue to do business with Tehran. Russia is a strategic trading partner with Iran.
Early Tuesday morning, a military transport aircraft — an American Boeing C-17 Globemaster III — landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24. It appeared the flight had initially taken off from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
A spokesperson for Latvia’s Defense Ministry said the flight — which left from Riga, the Latvian capital — was “properly coordinated and authorized for operation within the airspace.”
“Since the aircraft is not operated by the National Armed Forces of Latvia, we are unable to provide any further information concerning this particular flight,” the spokesperson told CNN.
CBS News was first to report on Ratcliffe’s presence in Russia.Comment
