Does anyone think that "new sanctions" have any real effect? LOL!

@robertosalinel3358 You're pretty out of touch with actual operations underway, I guess. Massive artillery bombardments taking place as we speak.

Yup. Every time Prigozhin makes one of his hyperbolic misstatements, Ukraine gets excited and sends another 1,000 men to their deaths in futile attacks. Yes, the Russians give up territory rather easily in the countryside. They inflict heavy losses and avoid heavy losses of their own. It's all just a meat and metal grinder that erodes Ukraine's war-fighting capabilities and saps NATO arms stockpiles.

@VINLAND_777 Meh. The Muslims in Afghanistan by turns raid and are crushed by surrounding nations. But with improving infrastructure, worldwide, and unceasing chaos and banditry in Afghanistan, it is no longer as important as a trade route or anything else. Just a land to lay waste to when the neighbors get sick enough of barefoot jihadis raiding soft targets. You could argue that foreign powers fighting over Khyber Pass made them what they are. What astounds me is that anyone with good intentions would ever try to take over and occupy Afghanistan. Leave them to their herds and whatever else they have going on. When they misbehave, spank them. But never try to rule them. Jihadi terrorists the USA abhors were trained and equipped by Americans in 1970s and 1980s. Object lesson for both Russia and the USA that the USA has still not learned. The only reason we left Afghanistan is because the Deep State slipped up and allowed Donald Trump to get elected.
