At that point in the war, Wagner was the only Russian unit that displayed sustained effectiveness on the battlefield.

At this point, the ONLY hope I see for Ukraine to bring Russia to the negotiating table would be to 1) inflict enough damage on the Russian energy space to make a severe impact on the Russian economy and 2) to cut and isolate Crimea by taking down the Kerch Bridge and severing the rail links along t...

If so, a simple countif function can be used to tell you which items in the master list have been inventoried.

My grandfather started a furniture store in south Arkansas after the end of WW2, my parents took over it from him, and I was going to take over it from them until I decided I didn't want to sell furniture the rest of my life.
