Much like "China's final warning", "Trumps two weeks" just means he's not doing anything about it because he's scared of the consequences

Thac0 diplomacy.

And stupid. Dont forget that. Oh and corrupt.

Just specific enough to be plausible, just short enough to be acceptable, and just long enough to be forgotten.

So both can be true. I'm not an expert in what's going on, but here's my take.

Even with Russia's failings, they still have a manpower advantage and that's what wins wars. Ukraine's tech and ally help has helped slow the invasion, but it isn't stopping it. It helps for morale and propaganda to show Russian troops as incompetent, but even fools can kill if they fire enough. And although they are running out of expendable manpower, they still have the ability to call on more.

I hope the new lifts on weapon restrictions help Ukraine. Again not an expert, just a person who subs here and reads the news occasionally

Russia (Putin) IS a joke. But Russia is a much bigger country, so they're not going to run out of troops anytime soon unfortunately. Russia talks a big game but their technology and strategies are shit. They've relied on terror tactics their whole existence because they're not a serious country. They're just a bunch of arrogant, belligerent bullies who think that antagonizing the world means they're winning.

They're failing at conquering Ukraine. They're succeeding at committing war crimes.

It's really damn weird seeing a large group of people just all collectively lying for prolonged periods of time. It feels so bizarre knowing that if anyone else did that, they would be fired, fined, or possibly face prison time for doing that (especially in Trump and his parties' case).

I get whiplash hearing all the BS on a daily basis. It really has shown that laws only apply to the poor

Unfortunately US military aid is not irrelevant so we have to follow this clown show

Two week TACO Or too weak TACO
