Hate to say it but that looks too much like "road kill".I'm specifically talking about the German-Turkish version that was first created in Berlin. It is a popular street food in Germany served in pita type bread with meat, sauces, and vegetables. Every street corner in Germany has one. Even the smallest village will have a church, a pub, and Döner Kebab store.

Although its fun to blame Ergdogan for everything, we should probably get back on topic…

LLoyd Austin is a total idiot. Dumb ass wants to give the Ukraine away to Putin because he hasn't got the brains that God gave a p!ss ant. Demand that Russia leaves the Ukraine instead of kissing Moscow butt.This is exactly what I feared…

The US government is calling for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. If that happens Ukraine will never regain its lost territory in any negotiation. The US government's position should instead be to demand Russia withdraw from all Ukranian territory and that until they do the US will continue its active support.

Purges of the upper ranks do even better. A single dose of 7.65 medicine solves the problem.

Hey at6,
re "LLoyd Austin is a total idiot. Dumb ass wants to give the Ukraine away to Putin because he hasn't got the brains that God gave a p!ss ant. . . "
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, a brief summary of his qualifications:
Austin graduated from the United States Military Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree and a commission in the Infantry. He is a graduate of the Infantry Officer Basic and Advanced courses, the Army Command and General Staff College, and the Army War College.
His 41-year career in the Army included command at the corps, division, battalion, and brigade levels. Austin was awarded the Silver Star for his leadership of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Seven years later, he would assume the duties of Commanding General of United States Forces – Iraq, overseeing all combat operations in the country.
After a tour as the Army's Vice Chief of Staff, Austin concluded his uniformed service as the Commander of US Central Command, responsible for all military operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan. In this assignment, he led US and coalition efforts to battle ISIS in Iraq and Syria. He retired from the Army in April 2016.
Austin was sworn in as the Secretary of Defense on 22 January 2021. Austin is the principal assistant to the President in all matters relating to the Department of Defense and serves on the National Security Council.
(He also holds a Master of Arts degree in counselor education from Auburn University, and a Master of Business Management from Webster University.)
The above does not mean that he can not make mistakes, but . . .

Those helmets look like WWII relics, too - why haven't they replaced them with ballistic helmets already?

Because in 1452 the Pope didn't have an army unlike 50 years later under Cesare Borgia. The Pope however did appeal towards Christianity for others to aid Constantinople.If the West had any consideration of the wider implications of their decisions they'd not have abandoned Constantinople.
Why wasn't there a Crusade to save Constantinople ?
1453. Why didn't the Pope call for a crusade to save Constantinople ? I'm not sure if he did. If he did so, why wasn't it 'answered' ?historum.com
However they were too occupied fighting each other. Genoa (mightiest naval power in the Med) and Venice were too much occupied finding out if trade might improve with the Ottomans upon them maybe eliminating their main trading rival Constantinople. Only Venice (when it was too late) send a fleet and troops.

Maybe because there is a smart guy in the US government who realizes that the majority of people in any country will choose economic survival over who or what system might rule them. The Ukrainian Government has done a great job (outstanding) in regards to propaganda, but can't show for any significant military or economic improvement of the situation in the last 1 1/2 month. 9 million displaced people within the Ukraine (means no job and income to buy anything but food. A further 6 million preparing to settle permanently in other countries. 5 million remaining in Russian "liberated" areas.This is exactly what I feared…

As such the Ukraine has presently lost 25% of its population!! another 20% with a very high probability of no jobs at all, of the remaining 55% approx. half have no job respectively no income. So how long will the Ukrainian peoples moral stay "high"? in the worst case there will be a civil uprising and Putin gets all of Ukraine.

EU, USA will bankroll the rebuild of cities and more. Far more. If anything the one thing one can be sure of of is that Ukraine will be booming of a different kind once this is over. Marshall plan 2.0.

Ukrainians are fighting for their survival. Russians fight for Putin's dream empire. Ukraine momentum is on the rise, weapons keep flowing and some people claim that Ukraine is going for a one million citizen military mobilization, that could be available in the summer. On the other hand Russian momentum keeps slowing down, they keep losing equipment that cannot replace (provided sanctions are enforced). Neither can they replace men without declaring war and general mobilization. If the west doesn't end up betraying Ukraine, and stays firm with sanctions and keeps sending military (as well as humanitarian) help, the uprising (be it civil or military) may happen in Russia. We all have heard of unrest between the russian military, and I bet that purgues are not helping..
Giving territory (other than Crimea, that probably is a lost cause) to apaise Putin now is a recipe for next war in 3-4 years.
