Interesting read on low morale/ability of Russian military. I know nothing of this but if true it may explain quite a bit of what has gone on so far in the war.

Ignorant (or perhaps actually stupid) talking heads are a menace to civilization. Kellogg is as smart an able a man as you will ever meet. And as he correctly points out, they aren't "bombing" nuclear power plants.

I try, I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but geez, our Vice President is no less embarrassing than her numbskull boss. At least his dementia gives him some semblance of an excuse. She when to Poland to “represent” us with no message, no plan, and no answers and that stupid cackle that pierces awkward silence like no other. I painfully tried listening to as much as I could about her trip today and I could find absolutely nothing that was not cringeworthy. If anyone knows of anything productive that emerged from her existence over there, please show it.

Ex-Zelensky rep rips Harris for laughter, says it would be ‘tragedy’ if she’s ever president

The two leaders had been asked similar questions about the US accepting Ukrainian refugees or otherwise easing pressure on Poland’s strained humanitarian resources.

Yes, she's a real embarrassment. I thought I might get a recording of her cackling laugh and use it as a ringtone on my phone? Nah, nevermind.
