Russian sources are saying one thing and the ISW snother.
Nothing major is happening and depending on who you are listening to, Russia is gradually gaining land, or Ukraine is holding its own.

Did it occur to you that maybe the criticism of Vance is justified?
No
While the president needs a voice to carry his agenda to the Hill, it’s not a journalist’s job to appoint the VP to that job.

No question about that, and your road map is a good one.
If he’s smart he will follow your map, work hard to get to the bigs, and plan for the eventual life after playing pro ball whenever that comes.

Yes! Putin’s plans have worked to perfection.

The problem is not the bonus. Minor league salaries are low. Rookie ball and A league guys make less than a thousand dollars a week. A AAA player makes only 36K a year.
Smart guys are careful with that bonus because for 3, 4 or 5 years that has to help him keep going.
Brown did very well, but to really score he needs to get to the show.

Millionaire, maybe. Multi millionaire, I doubt it unless he was already worth a million or so.
The govt. takes a big chunk and his agent gets a slice too.

One answer might be, no because they wouldn’t do it.
That map is a lot easier on the eyes.

Are you that addicted to upvotes that you have to get on your knees and praise Ukraine at any opportunity?
They've done an amazing job so far, we all know. We don't need constant reminders.
Why do you get so upset when Ukraine does well? Why do you feel the need to jump pro Ukraine posters and seldom if ever pro Russia posters?
As for why I salute Ukraine’s efforts I think that’s obvious. I’m surprised they have stymied Rusdia this long and card causing them so much trouble and I hope they keep it up until Russia quits.

I agree, this was a big unforced error.
It’s like Tiger Woods snaking in putt after putt then deciding to change putters.
Ukraine appears to have found weaknesses in the Russian D and is taking advantage of them. Why change QBs?

Except build it from a two lane road to a six lane road while working with developers to make it one of the city's largest retail district.
Siegen Lane from Airline to I-10 is the largest waste of concrete in EBR Parish. They built seven lanes with little thought, striped it, and said have at it.
quote:
Maybe so, but the suicide lanes on such a busy road are a pretty severe problem. I’ve almost been in multiple wrecks on this road because of it.
For the most part the suicide lanes need to be replaced by defined left turn lanes.
Defined right turn lanes need to be added in key spots.
Dedicated bus “inlets” might work.
Some private entrances off Siegen need to be closed and designated side streets improved.
The current design is an cluster and I commend SG for addressing it.

Wrong, Ukraine was invaded by a bully who wants to subjugate them.
