I have strong erections for Israel.
Strong, pathetic erections.

That kind of reminds of the project to divert the rivers flowing into the Aral Sea which resulted in an ecological catastrophe for that sea and people depending on it, but the intented purpose, to use the water for agriculture was evidently such a success that the rivers were never restored. Whenever I see any video or documentary about the Aral Sea it's all about how this communist engineering destroyed the environment, which it surely did, but nothing about the countries currently benefiting from the results of that project.

I accept that Ukraine has a New York, but *why* do they have a New York? Did the Dutch plant a flag? Cultural exchange? Someone just decided they liked how it sounded?

There’s no York in NL. Hence the original name for the European settlement on Manhattan being Nieuw-Amsterdam. Then it became New York, then Nieuw-Oranje and then New York again.

Hell, its not unreasonable to say the war started ten years ago and we're still talking about lead times.

We poked a bear, thinking we had enough bear mace to stun it and send it for the hills.

We shot it and stabbed it and lit it on fire and when it was still there roaring, we told the world the bear was a new kind of Hitler and shat our pants.

Still just kinda stewing in it right now.

There was also an openness to these loses that I feel like I hadn't seen before. Then entire front around Avdiivka was being called unstable without qualification, retreat was being presented as the only possible course of action. Sounds like a full-blown rout.

I guess there isn't much to say at this point. The debate now is if the Russians go north, or just continue their current strategy, which seems to generally be already paying dividends. The Kremlin is often risk adverse until it is forced into a decision, and there doesn't really seem to be a clock running at the moment.

The Russians are already moving over ground so I don't know if hydrology is a serious issue. Even the aid package is kind of being ignored since after everyone parsed it is was clear that there is only going to be so much the Americans are willing to provide.
