Many new fronts opening up and the meat grinder has new victims.

That's enough commentary about the thread, what's happening in the invasion?

Zelensky has murdered 200,000 of his own soldiers by proxy and the Polish truckers appear to have caught the Ukrainians in a pincer movement.

Well that sounds tactically naive.

New law passed in Ukraine today.

All men over 18 to dress like Action Man when out in public.

The meat grinder cares not for gender. Imagine the %'s in terms of carbon footprint reduction. Them greens had it kosher from the off. Oops.

Davek, what happened to you?

It's quite remarkable that you actually state that Ukrainians have been butchered by Putin's invading army and yet all your anger is against the Ukrainian leader.

What is it you hate do much about him? The camo gear he wears? Look beyond the superficial.

He was a comedian? So what? Ronald Reagan was an actor, Abraham Lincoln was a wrestler.

You say he's corrupt? More corrupt than Putin becoming dictator for life and paying dead soldier's families in potatoes while he bathes in roubles in his Black Sea castle.

Stole his look. Not happy.

How am I 'pandering to' and 'aligning' with Polish truck drivers?

I've stated what they are doing and what the effect it will be on Ukraine - along with the actions of their Slovak and Romanian counterparts.

You're seeing what you want to believe I'm saying so you can go off on your hobby horse of attacking Poland.

Unfortunately reuters have picked up the story and lumped several countries protests together. Which a lot of other news outlets pick up and run with due to lack of resources.

The father in law works in Romanian news media, there's about 4 nationalist inbreds up near Siret 'blocking' the road near the crossing with Ukraine.

Nice try crackpot Dave.

Davek, what happened to you?

If I had to guess I'd say he was ran over by a Jewish Pole driving a camouflaged truck speeding on his way to vote Labour in the local election.

Putin seems to be winning the war in Ukraine—for now

His biggest asset is Europe’s lack of strategic vision

Estonian prime minister: Pro-Ukraine coalition remains strong, Russia is suffering 'war fatigue'​

Prime Minister of Estonia Kaja Kallas.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on Friday insisted that Western support is not fraying amid a recent rise in popularity for right-wing populist figures across Europe.

"There is a lot of talk about war fatigue, but we also have to understand that there is war fatigue on Russia's side, and if you think about the combined defense budgets of the Ramstein coalition that is behind Ukraine, they are 13 times bigger than that of Russia's heavily inflated one, so there is no question who is stronger here," she told CNBC at the COP28 climate conference in Dubai.

"We sometimes underestimate our own strength and power. We have to be firm, we have to stick to the lines."
The Ramstein coalition, also known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, is an alliance of 54 nations, including all 31 NATO members and 23 non-NATO states, that are coordinating support for Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion.
