While appreciating your point Doc, I cannot help but point out that they were baptizing Connie and Carlo's baby. That made Michael his Godfather. 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 On 4/23/2022 at 10:18 AM, Coffeesforclosers said: Man, it's like Russia is going through all the stages of the Vietnam experience in fast forward. There's growing chatter that May 9th will be Russia's formal declaration of war against Ukraine instead of the big victory celebration. The much vaunted offensive in the Donbass is doing what everyone though it would so far, which is gain ground here and there and achieve very, very little. Now if Russia is going to declare war on May 9th, expect some kind of insane gesture to try and "reset" the situation. Like Russia also declaring war on Finland or Sweden, or the Baltics. Quite possibly on us, so they can have a life-or-death "struggle for survival" that's entirely of their own making, due to their own stupidity. Or, like stages of their conflict in Afghanistan. Which goes to the unrealistic expectations of Russia, the media, or both. This is quite the David Vs Goliath fight. But, this is why I always questioned those reports that Russia was expecting victory in a week, three weeks, etc. Ukraine was always going to put up a far larger fight than Afghanistan could, did they not learn from their history?

SoCal Deek Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Shouldn’t President Biden be telling the world if this was the ‘small incursion’ he was referring to? It’s been a couple of months now. Does he know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
