Lo, There do I see my Father Lo, There do I see my Mother and My Brothers and my Sisters Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the begining Lo, They do call to me They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla Where thine enemies have been vanquished Where the brave shall live Forever Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death
One day One dark day with storms boiling the horizons I stand in a long row with my brothers and with my sisters A row stretching as far as the eye can see And we turn to face our demons And we fight! And the Valkyrie carry me across the River Hel And I walk to the Great Lodge of Valhalla And all the dogs I know come running out to greet me And as I step inside to the banquet I sing my song And they know me! They know me!
Russia peaked at 20% of Ukraine, and that was last August. {For Common Core grads, that would be 1/5th, which is less than 2/3rds. In fact, it's even less than 1/3rd. Or even 1/4th.} They've been pushed back from that amount every day since. It's probably closer to 1/6th. Which works out to 300% less than what you supposed.

As someone too old and out of shape to play "run-n-gun" I am more than happy (and equipped) to remove targets of opportunity from a hidey hole several hundred yards out.
I'm with you, Glyp. Years past, when WRSA still allowed comments, I remember Pete saying "you can still be dangerous". Copy that. I've always said there will be a day that the .gov will regret what I learned in my beloved Corps. Up on a hill, below the military crest, we will be waiting.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Yup. Us old pharts can do something. We are not useless.

Lo, There do I see my Father
Lo, There do I see my Mother and
My Brothers and my Sisters
Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the begining
Lo, They do call to me
They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla
Where thine enemies have been vanquished
Where the brave shall live Forever
Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death
A dedicated shooter in a well concealed position would serve as an effective delaying action
One day
One dark day with storms boiling the horizons
I stand in a long row with my brothers and with my sisters
A row stretching as far as the eye can see
And we turn to face our demons
And we fight!
And the Valkyrie carry me across the River Hel
And I walk to the Great Lodge of Valhalla
And all the dogs I know come running out to greet me
And as I step inside to the banquet
I sing my song
And they know me!
They know me!
Well said.
That's pretty much how I see things these days. Never, ever, ever give up.

I’m stealing this. I’m LIVING this..
At the end of WW2 there were Germans who were going to kill occupation army troops all around Germany, called "Werewolves".
I don't know long they lasted, but they were ended. The Ukrainian "resistance" will be ended the same way.
About 2/3rd of Ukraine is now Russian territory, a done deal.
I think you better check your fractions, Pat.

Stay safe
Ackshually...
50% less would mean they kicked the Russians back to half of what they took. 100% less would be no Russian-held territory in Ukraine.
But you are right. To the best of my knowledge, the Russians haven't held 2/3 of Ukraine since they went by the moniker USSR.
