Great. This is how Red Storm Rising begins.
I don’t know how Zelensky has the time to meet every new British PM.
To circle back on the Timothy Snyder lectures, once he got into the 19th/20th centuries I found it to be less work on my part to keep up. No doubt because more familiar names/institutions were involved.
Wow. The AP fired the reporter who ran the anonymously-sourced claim that the Russians fired the missile(s). Good to see the accountability here in a very foggy situation.
What’s Time?
A construct of the universe so that everything does not happen at once, or at least I think that’s what Einstein said.
Popping in here to say; from the highest levels of the Ukrainian government, they are deeply thankful to the American taxpaying citizens. Much of what they are able to do serving their citizens during this trying time is directly attributable to the support we taxpayers are making to them.
In spite of one party that wants to cut that aid and leave them hanging out to dry.
Putin has cancelled all upcoming personal appearances.
Oligarchs are still having balance issues, however.
Stay close to ze vall. Ze stairs can be… treacherous.
Delicious…
President Zelensky goes to Bakhmut then hops on a plane to Washington D.C. to meet with President Biden and the United States Congress.

I would love to have someone even half the leader Zelenskyy is somewhere in the US government.
Ukraine is definitely winning the troop morale war.
Wealthy, connected Russians are now falling out of windows in other countries.
Vertigo must be a common problem in Russia.
Ukraine attacked Engels airbase deep in Russia for the second time. Russian telegram channels are reporting 15+ dead, 50+ injured, and most importantly 5 strategic bombers heavily damaged. This happened days after Zelenskyy promised a Christmas miracle and more to come.
Too good not to share…
