"Russia has made many serious mistakes in this war, starting with the fact that it started it all, but the offensive in the Kharkov region is one of its worst.
Firstly, from a military point of view, this made no sense at all. This was an absolute waste of resources that distracted Russia from all of its goals and does not provide it with any long-term benefit.
Secondly, the operation was a complete failure and showed Russia weaker than at any time in the last year or more.
Thirdly, this offensive boosted the morale of the Ukrainian troops at a time when they were really having problems with it.
Fourth, Russia is doubling down on its idiocy by succumbing to the idea that if they invest even more resources here, they will be able to achieve their goals. But as I said earlier, these goals have no meaning or value. Even if they achieve them, it will still be a waste of resources. And they are now forced to transfer resources from other directions in order to aggravate their failure.
<...> This is all very stupid, and I hope Russia will continue to be so stupid."

Someone was complaining the Probation Dept. Was showing favoritism to Trump by letting him have a zoom meeting with Trump.. Remember all those stinkers Trump let loose in the courtroom? I would prefer a zoom meeting if I were a probation officer.

🗣🇺🇦✈️ Total of 20 Ukrainian F-16 pilots are expected to graduate by the end of this year — half of the 40 needed to operate a full squadron of 20 jets, — Politico citing the former DOD official
⏺ The Biden administration has told Kyiv it lacks the school seats in its Arizona-based program to accept more than 12 pilot trainees at a time. Denmark will train 8 pilots by the end of the year. Eight new pilots are scheduled to begin training in Romania
To fully train the pilots of all 80+ F-16s that will be transferred to Ukraine, another year and a half is needed

🚶♀ Russia has made a robot that perfectly conveys the gait of a person who has sh*t his pants
P.S. Here I can really agree, there are no analogues to it in the world 👍 😉
We already have Biden. Guess this guy needs to rush out and do the deed.
Who would have expected truth from Donald Trump???
