how many times must I say this? The time is nigh when weapons will make no difference. will run out of ppl trained and prepared to use them.

Ok, Liz Truss made colossal mistakes, but...
- Many are being piled on that are not hers
- the tone of much criticism trangresses all current norms of acceptability
- & many are rooted in old-styke male-buddy banter, which suddenly seems OK again on msm

even in the unlikely event that gets all it wants, this will not solve its problem, which is a shortage of manpower, trained and not. Ukraine is running out of ppl to fight. that's why it will soon have to start talking

marydejevsky Particularly since Ukranian casualties are officially of more concern to countries 'supporting' Ukraine.

Unless, and let me just throw it out there, it doesn't matter how many Ukrainians die so long as Russians die.

- Q about cost of court transcripts.. this is a problem for journalists, too, esp freelances. It's iniquitous that trial transcripts are charged for. all trials should be audio-recorded, w/ recordings open to all. cost would be minimal.

often ignored w/ , foreign agents acts is that they are actually modelled on (foreign agents registration act of 1938), which is still in force. Like so much, It's not a uniquely Russian idea, it's borrowed from USA

I have every confidence in the 's methodology, but w/out an equivalent exercise for casualties (which are state secret), the headline & conclusions drawn have a propagandistic aspect

interesting: Rt Hon James Heappey MP LBC Nick Ferrari still describes situation as - this is outdated by several months, but is it only acceptable way for a (now ex-) minister to avoid acknowledging gains?
