1. Putin ain't going to the G20 ......

Rusher is a Pariah State now. As it should be.

9. Hard to see how that will happen with Rusher controlling the South side

of the Dnipro.

The Antonovsky Bridge is destroyed, purportedly. The Kakhovka Dam has a bridge as part of the structure; it looks like it could be destroyed without destroying the dam.

10. The dam is the only way Russia has to get tanks and heavy equipment out.

But I agree. Securing the dam would close the pocket.

12. The orca will blow it up

The dam has allegedly been rigged for demolition, which will cause devastating flooding in the Kherson region.

3. Remember what President Biden said yesterday

He thought it was interesting that Putin waited until the day after the election to publicly comment on re-starting negotiations. It's apparent that Putin thought he'd be in a better position if the Republicans did as good as everyone said they would in the mid-terms. In that case, biding his time and waiting for a more favorable political climate would be his best move. When the Republicans fell on their collective, insipid faces, Putin was johnny-on-the-spot about want to talk this all out.

Also, in making his observation that the timing of Putin's statement was interesting, President Biden also said his administration knew that statement was coming, a little bit of nuance that the major media kind of skipped over. Biden's way of saying, "I'm still the President, you know" for those in the media with ears to hear.

5. Great point

Dems doing so well yesterday really helps Ukraine. The pro Russian Party wins in a landslide yesterday and the US support of Ukraine would dry up quickly.

7. Also of interest, the Russian defense minister ordered troop withdrawal from Kherson City yesterday.

Just a few hours after the last polls closed in the US .

The coincidences keep mounting.

4. Ukranian troops within 15 miles of Kherson were confirmed by the New Voice of Ukraine as of noon

today

https://english.nv.ua/nation/forward-ukrainian-units-already-within-25-km-of-kherson-ukraine-news-50283200.html

Also, reports of dozens of liberated Ukrainian villages have been published in the past 4 hours. (https://liveuamap.com/). With this kind of speed, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ukrainian troops are eating watermelon on the outskirts of Kherson City as we speak.

forces in Ukraine about the Kherson troop withdrawal….it was soooo statged! Ridiculously so.
