Soldiers always pay the price of the fools in power.And I also hurt for the children of the Russian soldiers sent to die in Ukraine. They too are victims of this tyrannical regime and so many now will grow up without a father.
I agree it shouldn't matter but unlike the rest of us he doesn't think that way.
Better still, Sunflowers.or perhaps subterranean fertilizing of daisies.
The big question is what the cornered dog does now that he's annexed the eastern regions and laid the groundwork for WMD retaliation if "attacked". That, and how the west will respond in such an event.
I never was sent overseas during the rumble in the jungle, but I still attended too many funerals In my four years. ACM training is risky business, and too many "walking wounded" sent to tropical island paradise to get their head together didn't make it.I have always given thanks that the war I served in was Cold, though we still had men and women who went home in a flag draped box.
What a subtle way of encouraging a coup!
Also, any confirmation of this?
"V O needs to go! V O needs to go!" The word on the street.The problem facing Ukraine's NATO application is the need for a PM change in Hungary...
I doubt his "cornered dog" situation lends itself to a balanced perspective on his options.I wonder if he realizes that the bloom is off his threats, and so they may not have as much sway as before.
Or maybe the press conference is just to thank PutinThat may be more interesting than Putin's speech.
Most people don't realize how many soldiers/sailors/airmen are lost in operational accidents. The stuff they work with every day are designed to very efficiently kill people. Sometimes it is just something stupid, like falling backwards off a deuce- and-a- half tailgate doing 30 mph. It happened.Soldiers always pay the price of the fools in power.

I'm looking forward to Putin wearing an ass hat.Aside from being one of Ukraine's most generous weapons donor, Putin has also ramped up Western arms sales.
In the words of Red Forman (U.S. television character from "That 70's Show" sitcom):
"Way to go, dumbass..."
Our A school instructors would show us their cruise books from their tours on Yankee Station. The first two pages were all black with all the fatalities' portraits, officers (mostly flight crew) on one side, and enlisted (mostly flight deck and "black gang") on the other. Enlisted always outnumbered officers, though the officers were flying combat over the north. EXCEPTION: We saw a Forrestal cruise book that had ten black pages of thumbnail pictures.An active flight-line is a very dangerous workplace whether or not we are at war, and no matter your actual job.
