    Stupid: Can't play Tchaikovsky now? Can you say Freedom Fries?

    Stupid overreaction. Especially funny when I heard that Tchaikovsky was bumped and instead they decided to play Mussorgsky - who was a hoary Russian nationalist.

    Yep... Russia is still pushing it's "U.S. Bio-weapons labs in the Ukraine" nonsense.

    Russia losing 10% of its combat power and between 2000 and 4000 troops, part of the plan or nah?

    It is a lot more than 4000 troops. The conservative days-old Western estimates are 5000 dead. The most conservative usual wounded/killed ratio for any army, especially an advancing one, is 3.5:1 - so this is, conservatively, 25K troops lost to combat, with another 3000 being reported captured.

    28K out of 190K. So far.

    Russia lost, dead, three one-star generals. In 2 weeks. That's not propaganda. That is confirmed. Completely unprecedented.

    As of the 12th day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the UN confirmed in a statement on Monday it had recorded 406 civilian deaths and 801 injuries as a result of the conflict. Here are some of the Ukrainian people who have died.

    They say over 700 missiles have been fired in Ukraine, many at civilians.
    With 25k Russians killed how can there only be 406 Ukrainians killed
