"Our strategy," the official said, "is to make sure that the Russian economy goes backward as long as President Putin decides to go forward with his campaign."

Something quite normal but nicely laid out is the use of regular radio frequencies by Russian troops to communicate. It is my experience that it is quite common for fighters to tell each other to fuck off when they get bored. No secret coms tech here:
It is pretty normal for countries like Russia to try to control the narrative through censorship. That's why the BBC and RFEL shortwave service and the internet via cel data is so important. Troops use their phones incessantly. hrw.org/news/2022/02/2…
There is so much cel phone usage that the clusters of signals act as perfect targeting tools. Here is me on the front lines in Libya trying to convince kid fighters to turn their damn phones off... and then boom. dpxgear.com/blogs/news/20t…

People might be surprised to see hospitals targeted but it is a standard Russian tactic to finish off wounded fighters and their families. After encirclement Kharkiv will begin to be pounded into rubble to force a surrender.
Putin's military and intelligence tactics are revolting and disturbing to the west. We think war should be fought by rules. Putin simply wants to win by whatever means necessary. The follow on consequences (if any) are just part of the price of winning.
Russian military incompetence and poor equipment is a central planning doctrine. Keep throwing bodies and munitions at the target until they are overwhelmed. Never stop elimniating resistance on every front. independent.co.uk/news/world/eur…

Kancel Kulture is eating their own. A battle for what you can’t do because it offends someone somewhere. Why can’t they cancel the war in Ukraine? niemanlab.org/2022/02/ap-can…
" a blatant attempt to profit from human suffering." would cover ever war photographer, every fucking NGO junket trip and every song, painting and work of art created to communicate the sorrow of the human condition.
The concept of "deplatforming" and censoring is creeping into the left. How many Hitler docs, books, plays etc play to this? Alex Jones is a fat blubbery propagandist, but why hide examinations of him from the left when he has the right to bullshit? thewrap.com/cnn-slammed-al…

Steve "Bumfight" Bannon urges millienialls to kill Russians. A few days back he and Erik Prince were praising Russia for hating homosexuals and bragging on trying to raise U.S. taxpayer funded mercenaries for Ukraine. Let's get this violent hate messaging sorted out GOPeople.
It's taken some sentiment testing... but as I predicted the GOP realizes they were licking the wrong end of the elephant. Now Ukraine is being pitched as some kind of religious hillbilly jihad for freedom. Yes GriftMerch will be involved. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
2018:Trump has been almost singular in his praise for Russia. Actually increasing GOP support for Russia/Putin. He now risks losing all GOP support if he doesn't throw some shade at Putin. Mind the political Gap: 68% vs 38% pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018… Image

Kurt Vonnegut was part of era of American writers forged by the horror of World War II. Vonnegut chose quirky humor and plain speaking to tell stories but above all he was passionate about writing. This doc, his story is definitely worth a watch. vonnegutmovie.com
Director Robert B. Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm) inserts his friendship and life into the film. We realize that this is not a work of dispassionate observation and analysis but it works. It is depressing how few of Vonneguts appearances and speeches can be found online.
In the interviews available on line, Vonnegut is candid and entertaining. But the doc's discovery of hundreds of old films and interviews in the doc shows us America doesn't really preserve and honor their cultural icons well.
