#1 I haven't been following these reports, so I have a question: Has the intensity of fighting slowed down?

#2 #1 I haven't been following these reports, so I have a question: Has the intensity of fighting slowed down?

This daily entry via korrespondent.net are summaries for the grand strategic level of the war in Ukraine, which is useless for what we do here.

To get the best idea of the intensity of the fighting, it is best to follow what the Russians are saying.

So the answer is: no clue.

#3 ^ I could be wrong but I get that impression too. Kinda like the clock running out at the end of a football game and the score won't be changing enough to make any difference so nobody wants to get hurt.

#5 I recall the "Immaculate Fumble" in the late 1970s, when the NY Giants were about the end their last game by making a run, instead of kneeling, trying run out the clock, when defensive linemen stripped the ball and scored.

It was the season before they hired Bill Parcells.
