^ 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.

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.

[ColonelCassad] On the role of geosynth. How Danish propagandists helped the Russian Armed Forces destroy the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Sumy Oblast.
Fighting in Sumy Oblast: Following a tip-off from Danish journalists, the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters was destroyed in Yunakovka
A group of journalists from the Danish publication DR.dk, namely correspondent Matilde Kimer (already banned from entering Russia) and photographer Lau Svensson, accompanied by their Ukrainian assistant ("fixer") Alla Didur, illegally crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border from February 20 to 25, 2025 to prepare their report about the fighting in the Sudzhan border area.
We ask law enforcement agencies to initiate a criminal case.
The story could have ended there, if not for one important detail: the video captured the entrance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters in the village of Yunakovka, Sumy Oblast (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Our comrades from the 155th Joint Marine Brigade were able to determine the location of the Ukrainian Army headquarters (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
Naturally, the results of the open source analysis were passed on to competent specialists. After some time, an Iskander OTRK struck the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (Fig. 5).
In turn, the first obituaries of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers destroyed in the village of Yunakovka have already appeared in social networks.
We ask Russian law enforcement agencies to take into account the assistance of Danish journalists to our servicemen in achieving the goals of the Special Military Operation.
P.S. According to the information we have, additional reconnaissance was conducted before the strike, which confirmed the results of the open source analysis and made it possible to directly reveal the location of the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters in a building hidden from prying eyes.
Again, to the question of the characters posting photos from our side in the style of "What's wrong...". The enemy also works with our photos and videos. And what the idiots posting photos and videos won't notice, an open source intelligence analyst will.
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] Zelenskyy appears for an interview with Bret Baier to discuss the collapse of discussions today at the White House.
Again and again, Zelenskyy outlines his view of ''security guarantees'' which includes the baseline component of USA troops on the ground. Zelenskyy will not accept any negotiations or ceasefire arrangement without U.S. troops in Ukraine.
This same ''security guarantee'' demand (U.S. Troops in Ukraine) applies also to the minerals guarantee.

Hey Zel, your grift is over. I don't think sending US troops is advisable. I would bring all of them home.

Yeah and before meeting with Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering.
I'm sure that they also advised him as to how to deal with Trump by being aggressive, knowing that it would create the desired response from the President so that they could then use that response to proclaim 'Orange Man Bad'.
Trump could absolutely tell where this was going downhill by 25 minutes into the video. He had an inkling when Zelensky started bringing out photos.
I'm surprised that the President didn't cut it off right then and there as Zelensky was trying to change the narrative away from the previously agreed to Minerals Deal. I would have had I been running the meeting, but I'm not a politician (nor do I ever hope to be one).

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Ukrainian hospital has been hit by a Russian kamikaze drone strike just hours after Volodymyr Zelensky was banished from the White House following a row with US President Donald Trump.
A Russian strike on a medical facility triggered a fire late on Friday in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city and also hit several other targets, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
One child was injured in the attack on the hospital.
He said drones also hit an area near a filling station and a building close to a high-rise apartment building.
Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said all the strikes were in central districts of the city and emergency crews were working at the different sites.
Oleh Syniehubov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said eight Russian drones had hit civilian areas in three central districts of the city, a frequent target of Russian attacks in the three-year-old war.
The attack triggered a fire in the medical facility and other sites and dozens of buildings were damaged. The child was injured by flying glass.
In the Black Sea port of Odesa, another frequent Russian target in southern Ukraine, a drone attack triggered fires in a private home and a business, killing one person and injuring
[BlackMountainAnalysis] Wunderwaffe again or just another story for the masses?
As the new “Führer”, Friedrich Merz, is about to become the German chancellor, the story of the "mighty Taurus" German cruise missile is again on the table: The Ukrainian “Führer” requested before and now re-requests that Germany deliver Tauruses as soon as possible. The Taurus missiles for Ukraine are not a done deal, but they are something the CDU/CSU has supported for a while.
Just thinking about this will make many quasi-military experts and charlatans salivate and already see missiles slamming into the Russian command posts, bunkers, airfields, bridges, and even the Kremlin. The never-ending Wunderwaffen story is alive again!
Some may believe that the new "Friedrich der Grosse" is the one who will provide weapons that will turn the tide of the war...
THE “MIGHTY” TAURUS
The Taurus KEPD 350 long-range air-launched cruise missile is designed to destroy targets (including protected ones) without the carrier aircraft entering the enemy's air defense target zone. It is no different than any other cruise missile.
Taurus Systems GmbH, a joint venture between the German company MBDA Deutschland and the Swedish company Saab Bofors Dynamics AB, developed the missile. This marriage between German and Swedish “technology" means the Taurus missile comes with a particular pedigree.
The development of the missile began in 1998, and the work was quite proficient and fast. In 2004, the Taurus KEPD 350 was presented for testing, which was so successful that it was accepted into service in Germany that same year. The German Federal Government ordered 600 combat and 14 training missiles for the Air Force.
Over the years, the missile has been constantly modernized. Today, Taurus Systems GmbH offers a family of missiles that can be used against various targets and launched from multiple carriers.
