Even if only half true, Zelensky has ice water running through his veins. This is a raw display of guts, strength, and resolve. Meanwhile, our Pres Poopy Pants is headed to Delaware for the weekend. Pres Poopy Pants doesn't realize he is humiliating himself.Ukrainian men seen driving families over border in Poland...to safety...dropping them off and driving back, presumably to fight....I suspect Russia may have underestimated Ukrainian resolve....
Dirt nap time?Biden is still trying to find Ukraine on the map. It's nap time.
It's obvious what has happened. China and Russia have made a deal.This might be significant.....BBC reporting that China abstained from the UN Security Council vote to censure Russia..
You see China has veto power over any security council vote....they did not use it!...China is seen as Russia's strongest ally.....trouble in paradise?...
Civilian motorist drives up to an enemy tank for a casual conversation...wow...too surreal.Y'all will get a kick out of this.

Ukrainian guy pulls up to the a Russian tank stalled on the road.
Ukrainian guy says "what happened"
Russian guys say "our tank is out of fuel"
UG says "do you want me to tow you back to russia?"
Everybody laughs.
Russian soldiers asks "how is the war going?"
Ukrainian Guy says "Ukraine is kicking your ass right now."
This is not a good look for Russia. When your logistics can't keep your tanks feuled, you've got some serious problems.
The part that REALLY cracks me up is the casual nature of the conversation.
Wasn’t there a radical group of Chechens that was always on Russia’s side?ZOKA (@200_zoka) Tweeted:
Chechens on the border with Ukraine.

Oh sh!t. This is not good.
How in the fvck did the Russians convince the Chechens to fight for them? The Chechens fvcking HATE the Russians.
Chechens are fvcking nuts. They are the most savage of the savages.
The Chechens like so many in a rough neighborhood, are opportunists with long memories. Sure they hate the Russians, but they hate the Ukrainians as well. We're talking two thousand years of tribal infighting across Southeastern Europe and South Central Asia. Add some religious fervor and grease the palms and they are absolutely willing to go and do the Russian bidding. The Scots and Irish hate the British but for 300 years have been the best part of the British expeditionary capabilities. So with the Chechens, think The Black Watch or Irish Guards, but without the good whiskey and bagpipes.ZOKA (@200_zoka) Tweeted:

I saw the same thing and was just about to ask the same.... how 'bout it @GuaranteedFresh!@GuaranteedFresh! Can I get a little BDA here?
That second vehicle appears to have a bomb crater next to it..... but I can't tell.
Yeah for sure. There appears to be a few all lined up perfectly directly on the side of the road and spaced out perfectly as well. I highly doubt they were bombed but instead drove right into a textbook ambush.marqs (@MarQs__) Tweeted:

That's a deep ass crater. That's why I wondered if it was an aerial bomb crater that missed.... because if it hit, there'd be pieces of the truck in the crater. So a hole that deep that wasn't an aerial bomb---- a big ass IED?Yeah for sure. There appears to be a few all lined up perfectly directly on the side of the road and spaced out perfectly as well.

As far as I understand, there aren't many major highways through the area so predicting route persuaded non-tracked vehicles via bridge elimination ect, will be utilized. We've had our fill of dealing with ied's and understand all too well its effectiveness.
If you'll notice, the truck that was almost completely gone appears to have been a fuel tanker. Perfect convoy target. Well done boys.👍
That's my take on it. Remember, these guys aren't limited to T-Mobile wired 30yr old bombs and have had quite some time to prepare a defense while Putin wasn't hiding his intentions. Ukraine prepped what they could.That's a deep ass crater. That's why I wondered if it was an aerial bomb crater that missed.... because if it hit, there'd be pieces of the truck in the crater.

While I share the sentiment, Abbott doesn't really have the authority to do so. International border is federal domain, even if it our states border as well.
Some Ukrainians captured a Russian tank this morning and were rifling through it talking about dilapidated and poorly kept it was. Commenting that their own Ukrainian gear was in much better shape than what these Russians had.Something interesting to me is the reported condition of the Russian army, at least what was used in this invasion thus far.
Most everything is very dilapidated, troops very unprepared and/or under equipped, and most of them have just finished their version of basic training.
Is Russian military really in this bad of shape overall? Is this a practice run to war harden their general ranks while the modern troops and equipment stayed in Russia in the event of a future battle with NATO? Is this a planned distraction for puppetmaster china? Lot's of possibilities but I hope it's what you see is what you get.
Yes. I'm well versed in the finer points of Con Law. Paxton has already sued DHS and Mayorkas for, among other claims, not spending money previously authorized by Congress to build the border wall as well as ending the Migrant Protection Protocols (the "remain in Mexico" policy). In certain areas, the Biden regime ignores that a constitution or other federal statutes even exist.While I share the sentiment, Abbott doesn't really have the authority to do so.

We can, and have in some places, circumvent this by building walls a specific distance away from the federal border line but then we are completely dependant on eminent domain. Bad pr.
If I'm not mistaken, Texas has already been sued for authorizing state law enforcement to actually enforce immigration laws.
In summary, everything has gone to $hit and our politicians are all lying hypocrites. Man, I hear and agree with you entirely.Yes. I'm well versed in the finer points of Con Law.

My comments are borne more out of frustration than anything else. We play by the rules while the regime ignores the rules. So, while all of the various claims wind their way through the courts, the border remains open and the country continues to suffer irreparable harm.
I'll cease my comments on our country's issues. I know . . . wrong thread.
I'm really not sold on Russian military readiness. They have produced some cool toys with lofty claims but where are they? It may be like N Korean parades where they make themselves look advanced and mighty but we all know half that crap is painted cardboard.Some Ukrainians captured a Russian tank this morning and were rifling through it talking about dilapidated and poorly kept it was. Commenting that their own Ukrainian gear was in much better shape than what these Russians had.
What I have seen-- T72 and T80 main battle tanks. Yes, they make up the bulk of the Russian tank numbers-- but they are old as hell and lack defense systems.
What I have not seen--- T90 and T14 main battle tanks. The T90, in my opinion, is an even better option that our M1 Abram's. They are 15 tons lighter, cost 1/3 to build and have better active and passive defense systems. They can even fire guided missiles through their freaking gun bore.
The T14-- their newest tank (allegedly very few have been built ~70 or so) has a top speed of 56mph. That's smoke.
Maybe Putin left all the good kit at home. Maybe he underestimated the will of Ukrainians. Maybe he thought they'd throw their hands up like the Afghan men did and roll over.
Whatever the case, Ukraine has bloodied their nose. Putin looks stupid. Russia looks weak. And those are a bad mixture when you make a nation with 5000 nuclear weapons look foolish---
