#5 For any 'burgers out there who know which end of the thingy the boolet comes out of:

1- I see all kind of reports about "Russian armor" moving around, but what does that mean? If the reference is to tanks, are they T-72's or T-90's? In which case do follow-up vehicles include replacement arms for the loaders? Or are they the new T-14 Armatas, which are so cleverly designed that they're invisible?

2- And I see references to hundred of Javelins in the hands of the Ukrainians. I think the Russian countermeasure is improved top-armor for the tanks, but I don't know if that would actually work or has been tested in combat.

My point being that if I were a Russian tank commander I think I'd want President Putin to have the honor of commanding the lead vehicle. He can stand shirtless in the hatch for a great photo op.

#6 Ok, I'm watching for what passes for television news. Where are the talking heads who said Vlad was bluffing? FOX's Jennifer Griffin thinks he's likely to push beyond the Donbas toward Poland.

Griffin is probably correct.

#8 Set as today’s headline. Thank you for being on top of this for us, 3dc.

May the times turn out not to be nearly as interesting as they at the moment appear.
