That is part of the problem with the NFL Office....if it close games all is good. Exciting is not the same as quality play. But if you watch the games they are pretty brutal overall this year. Variety of reasons for this I believe: lack of actual practice time (as Bill B says the first three...

They have little choice with heavy equipment.  It is mud season there.  A few weeks ago when the Russian equipment was getting stuck it was considered early for the famous Ukrainian "mud" season.  This is the start of their typical mud season for the next few weeks...from what I have read, heavy...

I am speculating, but I think Putin would have invaded much earlier if Ukraine still had nuclear weapons.  Remember the "elected leader" until a few years ago was very pro-Russia.  The change in political direction would have probable prompted taking over Ukraine sooner.  With the mindset Putin...

That is not the way certified maintenance can be done.  EASA, FAA, and many other regulatory agencies that have pulled their air worthiness permits to allow Russia airlines to fly over there areas because they cannot document the work was done with certified parts...Boeing or Airbus parts...

Sorry I did not see this question until now.   Very simple explanation of something much more complex will follow, but basically it is supply and demand at a macro level.  Central banks will own many foreign currencies so they can control the value of their currency.   For example, if the ruble...

Here is the problem with that claim, the hospital is nowhere near any troops at this time.  Take a look at the latest maps and the Russian Forces are not inside the City, which is where the hospital is located.  They are on the outskirts of the City and shelling/bombing it from there.

My understanding is the freezing of their bank assets abroad does not allow them to support the ruble by buying it with $$, Euros, etc.  So the belief is the currency is free floating with no ability to be supported right now.  I also read the best they could do would be to sell some of their...

I read yesterday that we send Putin between $55 to $78 Million $ a day in purchasing oil (adjust by the cost of a barrel of oil world wide).  They is probably just 2-3% of our consumption but it is still a lot of money.

I don't believe Javelins work against flying aircraft.  More likely a stinger missile.

And how do you know this....he has told everyone for 10 years he was going restore "Mother Russia" and people felt it was propaganda.  It obviously was not.  And if he completely takes Ukraine which I am afraid he will...nukes will be moved within sight of the NATO borders.  There are no good...

The problem is Putin is planning on taking all of Ukraine and "pacifying" it.  That became very clear after his discussions with Macron yesterday...read up on the statements he made.  If you read Fiona Hills interview she points out that for 10 years he  has told everyone what he is going to do...

So does that mean he is half Nazi and half Jewish 😉

Oh the irony...isn't the President of Ukraine Jewish as well

Wrong.  Over the next weeks we could very easily see Putin attack any of the Baltic countries as an excuse to take them back.  I would not call that NATO interfering, but Putin forcing the issue.
