Ukraine Invasion Day 21: both sides have 90% of combat power available in a violent 'pause'

The war continues with Russian troops hiding among hospital facilities in the south using staff as cover or shields. They exhibit slow progress toward Kiev even as talks continue and the PR offensive remains solid with Zelensky speaking to the Canadian Parliament and the Prime Ministers of Czechia, Poland, and Slovenia....

Minerva @ Midnight: moderates are merely indecisive liberals/conservatives

Is US progressive politics, especially in cultural issues, incapable of attracting majority support.

In these conditions, it seems almost certain that tit-for-tat will...
