Trump's cognitive decline is a figment of our imaginations
The dude literally spent an hour on morning tv a week ago talking about anything without note cards and prepared questions. This was after left-wing idiots on cable floated rumors he was dead or out of it on tv. He talks to the people all the time and is a visible president. Something we did not have for the prior admin because of a huge democratic coverup of the Biden presidency. This is an insane take.

Well consider the sources.

No one said a word about Biden. But to act like Trump hasn't had moments where he clearly is unsure what he is talking about, is just being dishonest. Not to mention that Trump was older than Biden when both were elected. Cognitive decline of someone 78 years old is expected

His day is coming, but this is incredibly dishonest. He’s doing fine. It also hits people differently. Grassley is old as Eisenhower and better than most twenty years younger than him.

To Grassley's credit - he is better than most 80 year olds who are 20 years younger than him. If you can't mentor someone to replace you in 90+ years on this planet then you need to GFY.

Things are heating up. I feel we are two/three months out yet but the war machine is in choke.

This is a good take on how the Russians and Ukrainians both adapt and change based on tactics learned with drone warfare.

Ukrainian drones strike Russian chemical giant's plant over 1,700 kilometers from front lines

The fact Biden admin (and probably Europea too) hamstrung Ukraine from attacking Russia's side of the fence was probably the largest error of this entire debacle. 1000 miles across the border.

Nitrogen fertilizer plants produce materials for explosives but also a big export money maker for Russia. Much like Russia has Europe dependent on energy and food - Ukraine impacting refineries and chemical plants to put pressure on Russian energy and food IMO is a long overdue strategic move.

US farmers aren't going to like nitrogen fertilizer prices in the spring - just remember how silent they were when Russia was proven to be dumping that same fertilizer at expense of US producers leading up to the Ukraine war and effectively lobbied Washington DC to waive sanctions. US imports about 10% of annual need despite some of the cheapest natural gas on the planet (feedstock for ammonia production).
 

GATTACA!

It's about to get gross

When this is all said and done Ukraine is going to be one of the world leaders in practical drone tech.

Yeah - done playing nice, lots of "peace" capital in hand. Tariff China, show of force to create leverage and push douche canoe Putin to the table.

Still think the Ukraine attacking infrastructure is bound to pinch supply chain and pocketbook effectively on their own accord.
