Sean,
Once again you kill it.
I'm given to recall my high school football days and say we were tied and suddenly the opposing team would grant us forty yards, for free! Screams out: weakness! Of course such a thing never happened and it hopefully wont happen in Ukraine. Imagine the outcry giving up precious land to these monsters.
There's a part of me that hopes Zelensky decides to hammer more key points fifty miles or so into Russia. This of course with the new weaponry. Imagine Ukraine suing for land before its all over. Not likely I know but the psychology of it makes you think.
Couldn't agree more about the ass kissing media. They will go where it feels safest to them, no egg on our faces damn it. No balls either.
Thanks for the good read.
