I wish the Russian fighters would put their guns down n walk away...they gotta know it’s not gonna end well for them.

6. Early today, the timeline for doing this much was about Wednesday

but it looks like the Russian lines just collapsed, there are videos of tanks and other slower gear abandoned in the streets as the Russians looked for faster ways to flee. If I saw all the high tech shit that was about to fly, I'd run, too. It's sensible, not cowardly.

Yesterday, videos showed people lining the streets, smiling and waving at the Ukrainian forces rolling by.

I'm a little bothered that I didn't see that in Izium. I suppose it just happened too fast for most people to react.

I hope this is the beginning of the end of that war.

Meanwhile, all the ancient munitions from N. Korea are only about a third of the way to the front.
