While Zelenskyy is definitely fighting for his country's life, Pootin isn't having as much success as he would like us to believe. Russian soldiers surrendering in a physically weakened condition attest to the lack of logistical support they are enduring. An army travels on its stomach, and Russia doesn't appear to have the resources or infrastructure to fully support this war. Russian soldiers and citizens are being deprived of basic needs to support this land grab.

Simon Rosenberg has hinted that tRump may have somehow prevented the Ukrainians from using some of the latest equipment Biden provided to them. My guess is, if true, Pootin requested that help from tRump. We also have reports that tRump has removed some of the sanctions imposed on Pootin when he attacked Ukraine 3 years ago (and would like to see Russia added back to the G7).

Meanwhile, Americans support Zelenskyy over Pootin and most of us don't understand how we can abandon a democratic country over an oligarchy after which tRump no doubt would like to model the US government and economy. What the actual hell! Pootin and tRump are two narcissists drunk on power and money. Heaven help us!
