Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States threatening to commit genocide first thing on a Tuesday morning.

I prefer the Hamburglarization of America, but ok.

You know who that makes us sound like, right?

From the former US ambassador. The unanimity about what needs to be done in Georgia among those who have served in the US government there is amazing. Which makes the paralysis among current policymakers that much more perplexing.

Syria: Assad and his backers Russia and Iran continue to lose ground at a stunning pace. Iran has already begun evacuating its advisors, saying if Assad's army won't fight for him, they won't either. Russia is pulling military forces and equipment back to its base at Hmeimim to prevent its capture.

Things happening fast in Syria. Whether planned or opportunistic, rebel gains are no longer confined to the northwest. Groups in the southwest and south (Al Tanf) now taking territory fast. Russia is pulling S400 and Tor-2 air defense systems back to its base at Hmeimim to prevent their capture.

I try hard not to be cynical about politics but it's getting pretty f#&king hard.

Meh. I was in Afghanistan when we dropped the Mother of all Bombs (MOAB) on an ISIS-K compound in the mountains there. A bunch of generals flew to Bagram to watch the top of the mountain get blown off. This reminds me of that, big bang with little military effect.

A welcome step, but far too late and still too limited (Kursk region only).

It's time to stand with the people of Georgia as they fight for their European future. And for those in the West, it's time to ask what concrete steps we can take. Western governments should clearly state that Georgia's elections were illegitimate and call for new elections run under int'l control.

Russia launched 120 missiles and 90 drones at Ukraine overnight. This is the result of Western self-deterrence, which prevents Ukraine from striking targets inside Russia, and enabling of massive sanctions evasion by Western countries, which allows Russia's defense industry to operate in overdrive.

Behold the first Russian-built electrical vehicle, the stolen intellectual property of millions of American kindergartners.

Happy to oblige (the cat snuck in there, too).
