Troops are now narrowly connected between Crimea and the breakaway regions
Russian troops have surrounded Mariupol down south as well as taken over several smaller towns. Up north they are now apparently also in control of the nuclear power plant that they set fire to and are consolidating territory as they push down south. They are still struggling to garner control of Kharkiv and of course the battle for Kyiv has been a slow slog at best.
While many will say this is much slower than Putin expected and that there are problems within the Russian ranks, all of that likely pales into comparison to the issues facing the Ukrainians. Hard to feel sorry for Russian soldiers who are said to be less than enthusiastic, when Ukrainian cities are being bombed and civilians are being killed or forced to abandon their homes.
Extra Extra: Russian soldiers are really upset about being sent to invade Ukraine
ReplyDeleteA series of viral videos, many of which are being used as Ukrainian propaganda, but do appear to be real, show Russian soldiers crying, calling their moms, and explaining that they don't want to be in Ukraine fighting this war.
In Kozarovychi, a village about 25 miles north of Kyiv, a base of Russian paratroopers was destroyed by Ukrainian artillery, according to local press. In Markhalivka, to the southwest, an airstrike hit a rural residential area, Ukrainian law enforcement officials said, killing at least seven people.
ReplyDeleteSeveral bridges have been destroyed around Kyiv, possibly by Ukrainian forces hoping to slow the advancement of Russian troops. In the capital on Friday, a silvery, metallic tail section of what appeared to be a cruise missile was seen in a parking lot.

Demoralised Russian soldiers tell of anger at being ‘duped’ into war
ReplyDeleteVideos of PoWs are being used for Ukraine propaganda, but there is an authentic sense of regret among Russian servicemen
______
Five Russian soldiers sit in a brick building. They are blindfolded: the latest prisoners to be captured inside Ukraine. A Ukrainian voice interrogates them. “Speak,” he says to the group’s Russian officer. What message would he like to send to his soldiers and to Russians back at home?
“Frankly speaking, they tricked us,” the officer replies, referring to his military superiors sitting in Moscow. “Everything we were told was a fake. I would tell my guys to leave Ukrainian territory. We’ve got families and children. I think 90% of us would agree to go home.”
The three-minute video was filmed under conditions of duress. The soldiers are evidently scared. And yet there are numerous similar interviews with Russian captives which have been circulating on Ukrainian social media channels, expressing similar sentiments.
Asked what he would tell his commanders, one said bluntly: “They are faggots”.
Another phrase frequently used is oni obmanuli nas: they duped us.
Eight days after Vladimir Putin’s invasion it is clear that a significant number of his servicemen are demoralised and reluctant to fight. Some have given themselves up.
Others have abandoned their vehicles and have set off back towards the Russian border on foot, lugging their weapons and kitbags, videos suggest. These episodes do not mean that the Kremlin will fail in its attempts to conquer Ukraine, as its tactics shift to brutal shelling of civilians.
But low morale among invading troops might be one reason why Russia’s blitzkrieg plan to overwhelm Ukraine appears not to have progressed at the speed Putin would have wanted. The assumption in Moscow was that the operation would be swift and successful. Soldiers were given food and fuel supplies for only two or three days, the videos suggest.
The Kremlin also appears to have had a totally fantastical idea of the reception they would get. Several prisoners of war said they had been assured Ukrainians would welcome them as liberators. Russian forces were expecting flowers and cheers, not bullets and bombs, they said.
“Some of them thought they were on military exercises. They didn’t anticipate resistance,” Artem Mazhulin, a 31-year-old English teacher from Kharkiv said. “A lot are conscripts born in 2002 or 2003. We are talking about 19-year-old and 20-year-old boys.”
He added: “Since 2014 the Russian government has been brainwashing its population with propaganda. They try and make Russia believe Ukraine is not a real country and say fascist monsters have captured it.”
Mazhulin said his uncle and aunt, Viktor and Valentina, had talked with Russian soldiers when they rolled past their house in Kupiansk, in north-east Ukraine, close to the border. The soldiers explained they were looking for Banderivtsi, or followers of the second world war Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera.
“My uncle said to them: ‘Where the fuck do you see Banderivtsi?’ My aunt told them to get off her flowerbeds,” Mazhulin recounted. “They called my uncle Batya (Dad) and chatted with him about pigeon breeding, his hobby. Then they drove off on their tank.”
In a video address on Thursday Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy pressed home the same message: that Putin has sent his invading forces into Ukraine without an understandable mission. “They are demoralised. They are doomed,” he said, telling enemy soldiers to “go home”.
Ukraine claims to have killed several thousand Russian troops. This figure may be an exaggeration, but on Wednesday, however, even the Kremlin admitted 498 of its servicemen had died, with 1,591 wounded.
ReplyDeleteAlex Kovzhun, a one-time adviser to Ukraine’s former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, said Russian soldiers could be divided into two sorts:
“There are the young conscripts who are scared shitless. And there are career guys who have fought in Syria and the Donbas.”
Kovzhun said the Russian general staff had thought the invasion would be “easy peasy”, and a repeat of the operations to seize Crimea in 2014, or their recent deployment to Kazakhstan, which were largely unopposed. Instead, Ukrainian civilians had stood in front of enemy tanks, blocked armoured columns with their bare hands and had sung the national anthem in front of twitchy Russian guards.
“They shout expletives in front of armed people. I’ve seen the Russian faces. They are very uncomfortable because it’s not what they expected. They were told Ukrainians were imprisoned by mythic Nazis,” he added.
Nick Reynolds, a research analyst for land warfare at the defence and security think tank the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi), said the Ukrainian figure for killed enemy soldiers was likely to be a more reliable than the Russian estimate, adding that the footage of engagements involving Russian forces available online suggested the toll the Kremlin was willing to admit to had already been exceeded.
Nevertheless, he added, there is little to show how the Ukrainian authorities have arrived at their own total. The several thousand dead tally could itself be a slight exaggeration, he said.
There is no doubt Ukraine is utilising the discomfort of captured soldiers for propaganda purposes. Several videos show young men calling their mothers back in Russia, who have no idea their sons are fighting in Ukraine. The mothers typically break down. The Ukrainian authorities have opened a hotline for worried Russian relatives, in another PR scoop.
Nonetheless, there is an authentic sense that many Russian servicemen regret ever having come to Ukraine, a journey that has ended for some in death or disillusionment. One interrogator asks a prisoner: “So, what do you think, are you soldiers of the strong Russian army or cannon fodder?”
“We are cannon fodder,” the PoW replies.
“Was it worth it?” the interrogator says, by way of follow-up.
“No,” the prisoner says.

ReplyDeleteRussia to deploy up to 1,000 mercenaries to Ukraine as official warns Moscow could“bombard cities into submission”
From CNN's Natasha Bertrand, Oren Liebermann and Barbara Starr
Russia is poised to deploy up to 1,000 more mercenaries to Ukraine in the coming days and weeks, as a senior Western intelligence official warned Moscow could "bombard cities into submission," an escalation that could lead to significant civilian casualties.
The US has already seen "some indications" that Russian mercenaries may be involved in Moscow's invasion of Ukraine "in some places," a senior defense official said earlier this week, but it wasn't clear exactly where or in what numbers.
"We've seen some indications that they're being employed," the official said.
Now, a US official tells CNN that Russia is planning to deploy up to 1,000 more mercenaries in the near future.
Stalled forces: Some Russian forces have struggled with morale issues and setbacks on the battlefield, including a massive convoy north of Kyiv that has remained largely stalled for the past several days.
The mercenary forces would fortify the flagging units, the official said, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters its second weekend.
The official added that the US believes the mercenaries already in Ukraine have "performed poorly when facing the stiffer-than-expected resistance from the Ukrainians," and that as many as 200 such mercenaries have already been killed in the war as of late February.
Meanwhile, US and Western officials expect Russia to increase the pace and strength of its strikes on key Ukrainian population centers, including the capital Kyiv.
An intensifying assault: Russia now seems prepared to “bombard cities into submission,” one senior western intelligence official said on Friday, which could include a significant increase in the number of civilian casualties.
“It’s a very crude approach,” the official said. “The heavier weapons are not just heavier in the weight, they’re also heavier in terms of the damage that they can inflict. And they’re far less discriminant.”
Other officials have noticed a shift in Russian strategy from military targets to civilians, with more attacks becoming focused on population centers.
"The days to come are likely to be worse, with more death, more suffering, and more destruction, as the Russian armed forces bring in heavier weaponry and continue their attacks across the country," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday.
The American Thinker believes that we caused the invasion to get rid of Putin.
ReplyDeleteBut instead of working to promptly end the conflict, Western, especially American, leaders are demonizing Putin and Russia -- as if the Russian attack were an utterly unforeseen and inexplicable act of wanton thuggery. Though utterly to be condemned, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was in fact motivated by an accumulating sense of grievance and threat, all caused by the West’s persistent refusal to acknowledge Russia’s security concerns, born of both its historic and more recent bitter experiences.

Report: Russian Soldiers "Sabotaging Own Vehicles" in Ukraine
ReplyDeleteThe report is based on the statements given by Russian soldiers captured in Ukraine.
Kyiv: Russian soldiers fighting the war in Ukraine are in disarray and crying as they are asked to "fire at everyone", the New York Times reported, citing an official in the Pentagon. The newspaper further said that these soldiers are sabotaging their vehicles to avoid fighting.
The Pentagon official told New York Times that a significant number of the Russian troops are young who are poorly trained and not prepared for a full-scale war. They are also suffering from low morale and shortage of resources, including food and fuel, the official further said.
These soldiers have deliberately punched holes in their vehicles, just to avoid the combat, the NYT report said.
The assessment is presumably based on the statements given by captured Russian soldiers and is the reason why the 40-mile convoy of tanks and armoire vehicles near Kyiv has come to a near crawl in the past few days, the report added.
But, the Pentagon official cited by NYT, said that Russian commanders leading the armoured column may be rethinking their battle plans to push forward, and encircle and capture the Ukrainian capital.
A British intelligence agency has released intercepted radio messages, which back the claims made in the New York Times report.
The voice recordings, carried by Daily Mail, reveal that Russian troops are refusing to obey their command orders to shell Ukrainian towns.
Intelligence firm ShadowBreak has released 24 hour of voice recordings since the Ukraine war invasion began on Twitter, and said it “displays a disturbing lack of coordination between units, sometimes even firing at each other”.
One of these messages reveal a tense exchange between a Russian soldier on the ground in Ukraine and his colleague at the command centre, in which the former says they cannot use artillery on an area until civilians have left.
At the UN General Assembly session on Wednesday, Ukraine's ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya read text messages, which he claimed were sent by a Russian soldiers to his mother just before he was killed in Ukraine.
"Mama, I'm in Ukraine. I'm afraid," Kyslytsya said, reading the messages. "They call us fascists. Mama, this is so hard."
Holding up the images of the text messages, the envoy added: "This was several moments before he was killed. Just realise the magnitude of this tragedy."
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Moscow has pleaded "self-defense" under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
But that has been roundly rejected by Western countries and the United Nations itself.
They accuse Moscow of violating Article 2 of the Charter, requiring members to refrain from the threat or use of force to resolve a crisis.
Ukraine Has Accused Russia of Using Thermobaric Weapons. Here’s What Makes Them So Devastating.Vacuum blasts can take a far-reaching toll; Russia’s TOS-1 systems explained
ReplyDeleteUkraine accused Russia of using thermobaric, or vacuum, weapons, whose powerful blast can unleash a devastating toll on people and buildings.
Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S., told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday that Russia had used a thermobaric weapon in an attack earlier that day. U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said Thursday that Russia has deployed such weapons in Ukraine. “We’ve seen the deployment of thermobaric artillery weapon systems and we worry how broad those could go,” he said during a news conference in Estonia. He didn’t say such weapons had been used.
When asked Monday about reports of Russia’s use of vacuum warheads, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, “I don’t have any confirmation of that.”
Thermobaric weapons have been around for decades and have been used by the U.S. and Russia in previous battles. Unlike rockets that are filled with preformed fragments designed to do damage by sending projectiles flying through the air, these weapons hold an explosive mixture containing powdered metals, such as aluminum or magnesium, or organic materials. The mix scatters and ignites, creating a massive explosion designed to go around physical barriers and flow inside structures. That can make the reach of their destructiveness more expansive than other kinds of rockets.
The civilian casualties are a going up rapidly
So Ukrainians blow up their own bridges and somehow you see this as Putin being stupid?

An invading force must always reckon with the possibility that bridges will be blown to prevent them from making a speedy or an easy advance.

The Orange Monster has to go
ReplyDeleteFloundering in his attempts to wield political power while lacking a political office, Donald Trump looks increasingly like a stray orange hair to be flicked off the nation’s sleeve. His residual power, which he must use or lose, is to influence his party’s selection of candidates for state and federal offices. This is, however, perilous because he has the power of influence only if he is perceived to have it. That perception will dissipate if his interventions in Republican primaries continue to be unimpressive.
So, Trump must try to emulate the protagonist of “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” In Mark Twain’s novel, a 19th-century American is transported back in time to Britain in the year 528. He gets in trouble, is condemned to death, but remembers that a solar eclipse occurred on the date of his scheduled execution. He saves himself by vowing to extinguish the sun but promising to let it shine again if his demands are met.
Speaking of embarrassments: We are the sum of our choices, and Vladimir Putin has provoked some Trump poodles to make illuminating ones. Their limitless capacity for canine loyalty now encompasses the Kremlin war criminal. (The first count against Nazi defendants at Nuremberg: “Planning, preparation, initiation and waging of wars of aggression.”) For example, the vaudevillian-as-journalist Tucker Carlson, who never lapses into logic, speaks like an arrested-development adolescent: Putin has never called me a racist, so there.
ReplyDeleteBeing reported that Trump told Putin, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow. The weak dementia president would never have the balls to say that.
ReplyDeleteSo we know who stopped Putin and who didn't.
If we attacked Moscow, it would have ignited a nuclear war, and the end of civilization.
DeleteIn a phone call to golfer John Daly, video appears to show former President Donald Trump saying he was friends with Vladimir Putin while in office, but claimed he threatened the Russian president with 'hitting Moscow' if he attempted to cause trouble.
ReplyDeleteA video posted to the @nopopsgolf Instagram showed Daly's conversation with a voice presumably belonging to Trump on speakerphone. The two discussed nuclear weapons and alleged threats he said he made towards Putin.
"They're all saying, 'Oh he's a nuclear power,'" Trump said. You know, he was a friend of mine. I got along great with him. I say, 'Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow." I said, 'We're gonna hit Moscow.'"
If we attacked Moscow, it would have ignited a nuclear war, and the end of civilization.
Zelensky and Trump: Two Performers, One Hero https://nyti.ms/34iBEwI
ReplyDeleteThe claim by Trump and his sycophants that his relationship with Putin had kept Russia out of Ukraine is ludicrous. He was Putin’s poodle and Putin would have rolled over him; he was biding his time as Trump weakened NATO.
Trump praised Putin for an act of “genius” even as the rest of the world was watching in horror as the mad Russian president prepared to order the bloody march through Ukraine and suffocated the remnants of a free press in Moscow.
That was a shameful moment, as was a House committee on Wednesday producing evidence it said showed that Trump had conspired to commit fraud and obstruction by bamboozling Americans about the election and trying to flip the result.
There were even some Republicans — mirabile dictu — backing away from the toxic Trump over Ukraine. In a speech prepared for top G.O.P. donors Friday night in New Orleans, Mike Pence included the line, “There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin.”
By standing up to the Evil Empire, Zelensky could earn comparisons to another performer turned pol, and that should grate on Trump as much as having his vice president turn on him.
Ronald Reagan helped lift the Iron Curtain. Zelensky is trying his best to stop it from slamming down again.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is concerned. Innocent people are dying needlessly. A tyrannical government has grossly overstepped its bounds. Freedom and democracy are under attack — and it’s all Dr. Anthony Fauci’s fault.
In an appearance on Fox News Friday evening, the Texas Congressman and outspoken anti-vaxxer used his platform not to decry Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but instead to continue peddling his wild conspiracy theory that the government is failing to report deaths caused by the Covid-19 vaccine, instead labeling the deaths as Covid-induced casualties. This unfounded claim is, in Roy’s mind, the most pressing political news of our times. (Sorry, Ukraine. But Roy just isn’t convinced you’re more important right now.)

ReplyDeleteIn a matter of days, Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine accomplished something that has become increasingly rare in Washington’s polarized political climate: uniting Republicans and Democrats.
ReplyDeleteThe Russian president’s war against the sovereign country has offered President Biden and the Democratic Party an offramp from continuing to receive the bulk of the blame among their Republican counterparts for gasoline prices that are soaring to record levels across the country.
But the political calculation will only hold, Republican lawmakers and strategists told The Washington Times this week, if Mr. Biden heeds the mounting bipartisan calls to ban Russian oil imports.
“I’m placing the blame on Putin,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska Republican. “This is Putin’s war. Putin has chosen this. And he’s chosen as one of his tools — one of his weapons — energy.”
Critics of Mr. Biden’s energy policies, including efforts to limit domestic fossil fuel productions, will always exist, suggested Sen. James E. Risch. But the Idaho Republican and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee indicated his criticism moving forward would be targeted toward the Russian leader.
“Admittedly, when you get an upheaval like this, there’s always an uptick [in prices]. This isn’t our fault, this is Vladimir Putin’s fault, and that’s where the wrath should be,” Mr. Risch said. “I’m not speaking for all Republicans … I’m looking at where we are now, and how we’re going to go forward.”
Since Mr. Putin invaded Ukraine more than a week ago, the national average for a gallon of regular gas has spiked nearly 30 cents, according to AAA.
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. imports nearly 700,000 barrels of oil each day from Russia, amounting to tens of millions of dollars per day flowing to Moscow’s massive energy sector that is helping fund Mr. Putin’s war.
Despite the bipartisan push to implement an embargo, the White House remains opposed, for now, over concerns that Americans would face further pain at the pump.
Many proponents of a Russian oil ban have argued that U.S. energy production could backfill the void and prevent a price hike, but energy market strategists have said otherwise.
“We are mindful of minimizing the impacts on the public,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Friday. “Certainly, the rising price of oil and the impact on gas prices is one we are focused on.”
Republicans have signaled that while Mr. Biden deserves blame for inflation and high gasoline prices, Mr. Putin’s actions will now be the main culprit for continued rises in energy costs unless the president blocks efforts by Congress to ban Russian oil.
Ms. Psaki skirted a question whether Mr. Biden would approve any related legislation that passes Congress.
“Then who owns that price increase? I would suggest that President Biden would own that,” Ms. Murkowski said. “I think we’re giving a path forward for the administration. There are some for whom they put climate change as their first priority.”
Mr. Putin has achieved bipartisan condemnation as a “ruthless thug.” And it’s his unpopularity and name recognition among Americans that veteran conservative strategist Rick Tyler said Mr. Biden should be leaning on.
“If he can unite the American people against Russia and then blame all of America’s domestic problems on the fact that we’re helping to preserve democracy in Ukraine and defeat Russia, I think that’s a winning political message,” Mr. Tyler said.
But energy costs are often complicated for presidential administrations more so than individual lawmakers. Consumers look to current administrations to assuage high prices, and asking Americans to help pay for the cost of war is unpopular.
Recent polling from Politico/Morning Consult showed that although Mr. Biden would be blamed by a majority of voters for gasoline hikes from America’s response, more respondents said they would place blame on Mr. Putin.
Asked why the White House felt Americans would be understanding of supporting Ukrainian liberty in a drawn-out foreign conflict, Ms. Psaki said it was vital to “stand up for democracy vs. autocracy, stand up to the actions of a brutal dictator.”

“Yeah, I had my heart in my throat at that NATO meeting. I didn't know what the president would do. He called me up to his seat seconds before he gave his speech. And I said, 'Look, go right up to the line, but don't go over it',” Bolton replied.
“I sat back down, I had no idea what he’d do. I thought he’d put his foot over it, but at least he didn't withdraw then," he continued. "In a second Trump term, I think he may well have withdrawn from NATO, and I think Putin was waiting for that."

ReplyDeleteDemocrats Cancel Climate Hearing to Lecture Big Oil as Gas Prices Hit $3.84 at the Pump and $116 per Barrel Thanks to Joe Biden
EXCLUSIVE: Oversight Democrats Quietly Cancel Climate Hearing Into Big Oil ‘Disinformation’ Amid Ukraine Crisis
Democratic leadership nixed the hearing, originally scheduled for March 8, from the panel’s schedule despite their previous insistence that it takes place, according to Republican leaders on the committee. Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney and California Rep. Ro Khanna, the top Democrat on the Oversight Subcommittee on Environment, announced that they would call the Big Oil board members to testify as part of their broad climate probe into the industry in early February.
On Friday, Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer and Oversight Environment Subcommittee Ranking Member Ralph Norman slammed the panel’s Democrats, urging them to cancel the entire investigation, in a letter to Maloney obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Now that world events have shown the importance of domestic oil and gas production, you are canceling the March 8, 2022 hearing with oil company board members even after you sent letters ‘demanding their testimony’ on that date,” the GOP lawmakers wrote in the letter.

How the West Marshaled a Stunning Show of Unity
ReplyDeleteNew York Times:
“Much as the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 set off a tumultuous cascade of changes across Europe, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought the West to a comparable, if far more ominous, historical reckoning.
“The shock of Russia’s invasion led Germany to discard six decades of military-averse policy rooted in its own wartime experience. Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the Germans would ship Ukraine 1,000 shoulder-launched antitank rockets, 500 surface-to-air Stinger missiles and 2,700 Soviet-era shoulder-fired missiles — as well as embark on a mammoth, $110 billion rearming program at home.
“It led the once-divided European Union to unite behind choking sanctions that will ban Russia’s central bank, which holds Mr. Putin’s war chest, from selling any assets to European banks. Brussels, long derided as an economic giant but a foreign-policy dwarf, pledged to spend $500 million on defensive weapons for Ukraine.”
Trump Is Losing His Grip
George Will:
“Floundering in his attempts to wield political power while lacking a political office, Donald Trump looks increasingly like a stray orange hair to be flicked off the nation’s sleeve.
“His residual power, which he must use or lose, is to influence his party’s selection of candidates for state and federal offices. This is, however, perilous because he has the power of influence only if he is perceived to have it. That perception will dissipate if his interventions in Republican primaries continue to be unimpressive.”

Trump's supposedly impenetrable border wall has been breached more than 3,000 times over the past three years, according to The Washington Post.
I’m cracking up over the fact that smugglers have breached Trump’s border wall more than 3,000 times over the past three years.
It’s true. The $15 billion wall, which Trump claimed over and over again that Mexico would pay for, “is no match for a $15 hand saw.”
Even cheaper tools probably would have poked holes in it.
The jaw-dropping discovery came courtesy of The Washington Post, which detailed the cracks and breaches along the supposedly impenetrable wall with Mexico.
The Post’s scoop, based on unpublished data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, also showed that the government spent $2.6 million to repair the breaches during fiscal years 2019 to 2021.
“Smuggling gangs typically cut the barrier with inexpensive power tools widely available at retail hardware stores, including angle grinders and demolition saws,” the Post reported.

ReplyDeleteGetting even single American citizens out of Russia is a big problem.

Voter suppression is getting worse in Florida.
ReplyDeleteAnother innovation for the Republican vote suppression circus:
The Florida Senate passed a sweeping new bill overhauling the state’s electoral process, adding new restrictions to the state election code and establishing a law enforcement office dedicated solely to investigating election crimes.
The bill, which passed 24-14, now goes to the state’s House of Representatives, where it could pass as soon as next week and land on the desk of Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, who is expected to sign it. One Republican, State Senator Jeff Brandes, voted against it. A Democratic senator, Loranne Ausley, initially voted yes, but immediately posted on Twitter that she “pushed the wrong button” and has since changed her vote.
[…]
The core of the bill is the establishment of a permanent election crimes office within the Department of State, which would make Florida one of the first states to have an agency solely dedicated to election crimes and voter fraud, despite such offenses being exceedingly rare in the United States. An investigation last year by The Associated Press found fewer than 475 potential claims of fraud out of 25.5 million ballots cast for president in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The new office would assist the secretary of state’s office in investigating complaints and allegations, initiating their own independent inquiries and overseeing a voter fraud hotline. It would include an unspecified number of investigators, and Mr. DeSantis would also appoint at least one special officer in each of the regional offices of the State Department of Law Enforcement to investigate election crimes.
The bill would also raise the penalties on those collecting and submitting more than two absentee ballots from a misdemeanor to a felony.
The problem with studies showing the voter fraud is vanishingly rare is that they fail to correctly categorize “voting while being a registered Democrat” as being fraudulent.

President Joe Biden, in coordination with a number of NATO nations and other allies, have implemented a comprehensive package of devastating sanctions on Russia for its invasion, which sent Russian currency plummeting and isolated the Kremlin from the rest of the world's economy.
ReplyDeleteOverall death tolls in the conflict are unclear, but a senior Western intelligence official estimated on Tuesday that more than 5,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or captured so far. The United Nations – which uses a strict metholody to calcuate casualties and only reports on those it has confirmed – on Saturday said it has confirmed the deaths of 351 civilians in Ukraine since the Russian invasion began. Another 707 civilians were injured between Feb. 24 and midnight Friday, the U.N. human rights office added.
Russia on Wednesday admitted for the first time it had suffered losses, but put the death toll much lower than 5,000, saying nearly 500 had been killed and nearly 1,600 injured, per a spokesperson for the Russian Defense Ministry. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy put the Russian death toll as high as 9,000 on Wednesday.
Zelenskyy, citing attacks on civilians, blasted Moscow's actions as "frank, undisguised terror" and accused Russia of committing war crimes – a claim echoed by a number of other officials and world leaders, including United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on Wednesday opened up an investigation into possible war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide in Ukraine after receiving requests from 39 nations.

Putin warns 3rd parties against creating Ukraine no-fly zone
Associated Press
March 5, 2022, 10:36 AM
LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — President Vladimir Putin warned Saturday that Russia would consider any third-party declaration of a no-fly zone over Ukraine as participation in the war there, while Ukrainian officials blamed Russian shelling for breaching a cease-fire arranged in two cities to evacuate civilians.
The struggle to enforce the cease-fire in Mariupol, a strategic port in the southeast, and the eastern city of Volnovakha showed the fragility of efforts to stop fighting across Ukraine as the number of people fleeing the country reached 1.4 million just 10 days after Russian forces invaded.
Putin accused Ukraine of sabotaging the evacuation and even claimed Ukraine's leadership was calling into question the future of the country's statehood, saying that “If this happens, it will be entirely on their conscience.”
Earlier, the Russian defense ministry said it had agreed with Ukraine on evacuation routes out of Volnovakha and Mariupol, the site of growing misery amid an ongoing assault that created desperate scenes at hospitals and raised the prospect of food and water shortages for hundreds of thousands of people in freezing weather.
In comments carried on Ukrainian television, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said thousands of people had gathered for safe passage out of the city and buses were departing when shelling began.
“We value the life of every inhabitant of Mariupol and we cannot risk it, so we stopped the evacuation,” he said.
Before Russia announced the cease-fire, Ukraine had urged Moscow to create humanitarian corridors to allow children, women and the older adults to flee the fighting, calling them “question No. 1.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday said Russia was ready for a third round of talks on that and other issues, but he asserted that “the Ukrainian side, the most interested side here, it would seem, is constantly making up various pretexts to delay the beginning of another meeting.”
Diplomatic efforts continued as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Poland to meet with the prime minister and foreign minister, a day after attending a NATO meeting in Brussels in which the alliance pledged to step up support for eastern flank members.
In the wake of Western sanctions, Aeroflot, Russia’s flagship state-owned airline, announced that it plans to halt all international flights. except to Belarus, starting Tuesday.
While a vast Russian armored column threatening Ukraine’s capital remained stalled outside Kyiv, the shelling in Mariupol showed Russia’s determination to cut Ukraine off from access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, further damaging the country’s economy.
ReplyDeleteEven in cities that have fallen to the Russians, there were signs of resistance - peaceful or otherwise. As homes in the northern city of Chernihiv burned from what locals blamed on the Russian shelling that’s targeted Ukraine’s urban areas from the start, Ukrainian officials released images showing a Russian plane they said was shot down there.
Presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovich said the situation was generally quiet Saturday and Russian forces “have not taken active actions since the morning.”
Instead it was Putin who was most on the offensive with his comments warning against a wider war.
Ukraine’s president has pleaded for a no-fly zone over his country and lashed out at NATO for refusing to impose one, warning that “all the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you.”
NATO has said a no-fly zone, which would bar all unauthorized aircraft from flying over Ukraine, could provoke widespread war in Europe. But as the United States and other NATO members send weapons for Kyiv, the conflict is already drawing in countries far beyond Ukraine’s borders.
As Russia cracks down on independent media reporting on the war, major international news outlets said they were pausing their work inside the country. Moscow also blocked Facebook and Twitter,
And in a warning of a hunger crisis yet to come, the U.N. World Food Program has said millions of people inside Ukraine, a major global wheat supplier, will need food aid “immediately.”
Ukraine’s president was set to brief U.S. senators Saturday by video conference as Congress considers a request for $10 billion in emergency funding for humanitarian aid and security needs.
And the U.N. Security Council scheduled an open meeting for Monday on the worsening humanitarian situation. The United Nations estimates that 12 million people in Ukraine and 4 million fleeing to neighboring countries in the coming months will need humanitarian aid.
At least 351 civilians have been confirmed killed since Russia’s invasion on Feb. 24, but the true number is probably much higher, the U.N. human rights office has said. Russia said Wednesday 498 of its troops had been killed and has not updated since.
Kyiv’s central train station remained crowded with people desperate to flee. “People just want to live,” one woman, Ksenia, said.

'No good outcome': Putin's unraveling war plan leaves Russia, Ukraine in precarious positions
ReplyDeleteUSA TODAY
March 5, 2022, 5:01 AM
WASHINGTON – Russian President Vladimir Putin faces a critical juncture in the week-old war he started in Ukraine.
Bad choices, of his own making, are all he has left, experts say.
Unleash the full fury of firepower he's amassed on Ukrainian cities, and Putin risks killing thousands of civilians and destroying homes, buildings and roads.
Surround the population centers, choke off water, food and electricity, and Putin assembles the ingredients for a humanitarian catastrophe.
Send in ground forces to take control, and Putin invites a blood bath that kills Ukrainians and sends Russian troops in body bags back to Russia.
Russian forces have escalated their attacks on crowded cities in what Ukraine's leader called a blatant campaign of terror.
Putin's initial plan has unraveled, resting on the assumption that Ukrainian officials and troops would capitulate quickly. Instead, the spirited resistance from Ukrainians and poor performance by his own troops has left Putin and his military commanders frustrated and behind schedule, according to a senior Defense Department official.
The Pentagon and military experts expect Putin's forces to regroup, encircle cities and lay siege to them, shelling and bombing them until they surrender. The Russians will likely seize control of the cities. Deep, hardened resistance awaits them.
It won't be an easy fight, said Colin Smith, an expert on the Russian military at the RAND Corp. If Russia allows citizens to flee along the corridors they've agreed to establish, they'll leave behind well-armed fighters in cities like Kyiv.
"Then it's kind of a giant Alamo," Smith said. "It's an Alamo they can sustain for quite a long time if they've got the ammunition. They have the deepest subways in the world. It's their backyard. They could fight for a very, very long time."
There are also indications of poor morale among Russian troops, according to the Defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence findings. Food and fuel shortages along with poor training have contributed to morale problems. The main Russian force arrayed against Kyiv remains stuck about 15 miles from the city's center.
"There's enough evidence that there are Russian soldiers who do not want to fight and are not on board with killing Ukrainians," Smith said. "There's equipment that's been left behind, and they didn't just run out of gas. There's equipment that's been just left behind wholesale – perfectly working equipment – with no Russian soldiers in sight."
Even if Russian forces overrun Ukraine's major cities, the invasion force invasion force of 190,000 troops in and around Ukraine is not large enough to control a largely hostile population of more than 40 million Ukrainians, said Seth Jones, senior vice president and director of the international security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"It will likely be difficult for the Russian army to hold territory for long with such a small ratio of soldiers to local inhabitants," Jones said. "High numbers of troops are critical for establishing law and order."
Another problem for a Russian force spread too thin: Ukraine's open western border. U.S. and NATO allies have been funneling weapons, ammunition and supplies through western Ukraine. In the last week, as much as $240 million worth of arms, including anti-tank missiles, have crossed into western Ukraine, according to a second senior Defense Department official.
ReplyDelete"Russian forces are unable to interdict the growing flow of anti-tank missile systems, surface-to-air missile systems, fighters, artillery, small arms, ammunition, and other material flowing into Ukraine," Jones said. "There is virtually no case since World War II of an occupying army successfully pacifying a local population when the insurgency has support from a great power."
Smith raised a darker possibility. Putin has no interest in occupying Ukraine. Instead, Smith said, he wants to crush its government and military, leaving behind a country incapable of aligning with or joining NATO, even though that is not an imminent possibility.
"I don't think Russia could ever control Ukraine," Smith said. "That was never their intent. I think they just honestly want Ukraine to be a buffer. Regardless of what government goes back into Ukraine, Ukraine has been left so decapitated it can’t field a viable military. It's not going to join NATO, or NATO decides against even considering it. You've created a wasteland buffer."
Putin will attempt to convince Russians that the war in Ukraine was waged to prevent NATO from threatening Russia.
"Can he sustain the spin to stay in power? That will be determined on how long this conflict goes on," Smith said.
"Time is on Ukraine’s side. Every day that you can stand in his way is in their favor. But it's also another day that another building and hundreds of civilians are at risk. There's no good outcome at this point."

ReplyDeleteI always find it interesting that liberals now try to label any dissent from their own opinions as propaganda... doing it even today as they are starting to realize that they were wrong about Covid and that those who were right all along where the ones censored and labeled propaganda.
Think about CNN demand to the 700,000 people who listen to them on cable news that Joe Rogan was taking an animal dewormer (because they didn't know the difference or wanted to lie). Demanding that he was providing disinformation to his 9 million viewers...
While all along, ivermectin was being used all over the world as a Covid treatment.... and CNN was actually providing false information and disinformation... but wanted the truth censored because it wasn't part of their narrative.
Liberal narrative was largely wrong about Covid.
Now they want a narrative that Putin is stupid, that the Ukrainians are winning the war, that somehow Joe Biden should be given some political credit for something....
and anything suggesting different is "propaganda".
and that if it ever pointed out that there is the alternative position that this is war full of propaganda on both sides and that nobody probably ultimately knows what the fuck Putin had planned and that nobody really has a clue what is going to ultimately happen.
What we do know by reason of reality is that anyone suggesting the short war (that Ukraine would roll over or that Russia was not prepared for more than 6-7 days) was wrong. Ironically both of those positions have only been pushed by the left. It's the left that largely believed that everyone "expected" a quick war and it was the left that almost exclusively fell for the rumors that the Russians only had a week of supplies and would not be able to function any longer than that.
It might not have been an accident that not long before that rumored "week level" that Putin engaged a 40 mile long convoy and started positioning war ships down south to attack Ukraine from there. In fact, most of the only real progress for the Russian Army seems to have come over the past few days.
Maybe Putin is stupid or maybe he knows exactly what he is doing or maybe the truth falls somewhere in the middle - that this was tougher than they had hoped for, but that they had also prepared for the worst.
Opinions at this time are going to be a lot like assholes. Everyone has them, and what is coming out is a flaming pile of shit.
I think it's best if we just actually watch what is happening and try not to accept every opinion that backs up or own as the gospel and everything else as propaganda. We already had that war of information during Covid. Those with the power to control the information were getting it wrong. Perhaps we should remember that... or perhaps to some of you the actual "Truth" doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteLiberal narrative was largely wrong about Covid.
THE FUCKING DUMBEST THING YOU HAVE EVER POSTED.....BAR NONE!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!!! As you put up the BULLSHIT from expose and trumps light and bleach cures......your narrative has been shown to be crap for months as what is left of your mind is being atrophied by TDS!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
