Blinken is in Kyiv today. Hopefully, he's establishing a deal that allows Ukrainians in Vovchansk to shoot at their attackers just over the border....

I think that the Hilton Garden in still gives a week of free parking if you stay the night before. If your trip is for 10 days, you would have ask about the last three days....

Dyson's net rating two years ago was -7 and was +3 last season. He improved as a passer and as a rebounder.
Oh, and he's on path to be the best perimeter in the league -- even better than Herb.
Dyson has tons of value. If...

If so, it was a terribly dumb strategy. Biden would be doing much better in polls right now if he'd provided ATACMS and cluster munitions to Ukraine before their offensive last year and it had been successful. ...

[quote]. I don't believe the Russian casuality numbers Ukraine and the western media report, but I think its safe to say their numbers are higher than Ukraine's, and for morale's sake I don't see the benefit in taking the losses it would require to capture Kharkiv.[/quote]

As I said above, Russia isn't trying to take Kharkiv. They don't have the force structure in that sector to even attempt it.
They are:

We don't even have to make it a future 1st. We can use the Lakers pick and our own and provide two picks in this year's draft.
On the one hand, rookies generally suck, and making a move like this signals that we aren't going to try to contend in th...

Posted by GOP_Tiger on 5/12/24 at 2:44 pm
But Russia's Kharkiv offensive is at least a limited success so far. Ukrainian defensive lines were not near the border, so Russian progress to date is not predictive of larger success.
However,
