Wood, for someone who supports a party that champions the rights of gays, transgenders, etc.(rightfully so) why would you of all people use the term "butt-buddy" to make your point? Just a slip? Mistake?
Ukraine is attacking, en mass, Russia's infrastructure. The Ukrainians were given a lot of really good equipment by the Biden administration. I think they did this in coordination with the incoming Trump Administration.
Putin is getting what he deserves. He is getting pressure on the battlefield, at home and by President Trump.
Ryazan is a few hundred miles southeast of Moscow. It's main power plant and fuel depots were attacked last night. Ryazan is about 500 miles from Kyiv.

Trump is going to apply maximum pressure against Russia. We will 1) up the sanctions and tariffs against Russia, 2) force India and China to stop buying Russian oil, 3) force Europe to cut off Russia completely, and 4) spur American development of oil and natural gas.
Russia should never be able to use its oil and gas as leverage against the West again.

Gen. Jack Keane has suggested that the US obtain funding for the Ukrainians by 1) seizing the $300B in Russian assets that are frozen in western banks, 2) loan goods to Ukraine on lend lease basis, where the Ukrainian Government is obligated to repay the funds to the US with an interest rate, or 3) use existing Ukrainian assets, such as rare earth minerals, to secure payment for equipment.
I would prefer the first, where Russia pays for its own defeat, using the second and third options as fall-back positions.
Here is an interview with Jack. They were discussing a Washington Post article he co-wrote with Marc Theissen.

It's beginning. The US is starting to supply LNG to Europe. Seven American tankers have been re-routed to Europe. This will supplant some of Europe's dependence on Russian oil and gas.
