I do. I look at some of the links. It helps me keep a positive outlook on the war seeing Russians getting blown up. If I just read Tom, i would just think its a modern day Alamo...
Not sure what to make of this.
Putin sends signals of willingness to freeze war – New York Times
Putin apparently signals he is willing to freeze the conflict along the current confrontation line.
Military history is full of episodes in which a leader decided to throw in the towel just before the other side gave way. This dynamic applies to both the Ukrainians and the Russians.

Sadly, "frozen conflict" means the shooting stops (for now), but the political question underlying the conflict remains absolutely unresolved.
Worse, all it takes for the conflict to heat back up is adding ammo when it suits one side or the other.
There are several in the post-Soviet space: Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh.

Stunning video of the destruction of the Russian warship Novocherkassk in Crimea:
This one is pathetic.
A Russian MTLB (known as a "meatball" in the US Army), is evacuating casualties. One guy "misses the bus."

Seeing reports of people finding pieces of the hull over a kilometer away. There was a lot of whatever caused that secondary explosion. Internet rumors are saying Shahed drones. Could be ammo. Either way going to be hard to replace that OR find a safe place to store it. Reading Russia is full speed ahead on setting up alternative port in Georgia so they can get their ships out of Shadow Storm range. UK assessment is that 20% of their Black Sea fleet is destroyed.
I doubt we'll ever know what was loaded but I read where the Novocherkassk was capable of transporting 4,400 artillery shells, 280 Grad missiles, and was crewed by 62 sailors.
Also, just saw this image of the Russian Navy with confirmed sunk ships

From that chart, I'd say more than 20% of their total tonnage has gone down.Also, just saw this image of the Russian Navy with confirmed sunk ships

Given the problems the Russians have had with rail, road, bridges, etc. I'd bet they are using ships like the Novocherkassk to move ammo.
Shipload of ammo + stormshadow missile = big boom.
The re-tweets called for the Benny Hill theme music.
Well, I saw it coming.
The Biden Administration Is Quietly Shifting Its Strategy in Ukraine
It is not right, it just is. In the same moral neighborhood as leaving Eastern Europe to Stalin, or leaving Kim in possession of North Korea (and portions of South Korean territory).
