What he says I'll take with a grain of salt, and so will the UA +Azovs.

the plant. Putin is a chicken shit!

people holed up in a steel plant would be a meat grinder. Instead of facing a humiliating defeat he
is going to starve them out.

I've altered my coverage of media sites to take into account the curiosity about the war and fill some gaps in other coverage. Since I'm disabled/retired I have the time to scour the Internet and post threads to inform those who live faster-paced lifestyles.

There has never been a war that has been more thoroughly documented and tracked in real time.
