Any wagers/thoughts/ideas on how long this CF will go on?

Sometimes bowing out goes with the territory, but those vindictive homosexuals in DC think they're going to have the last word, even if destroys this country.

In the video he mentioned depleting the Ukrainian artillery first and then their ground forces. After that was Nikolaev and then 84 miles further to Odessa. After Odessa, Russia wants to take Transnistria, a breakaway republic. That should take until the end of June meaning not much food raised by the Ukraine this year. Brace for higher food prices.
At that point, Poland and Hungary would like to take back Ethnic Polish and Hungarian territory from what is left of the Ukraine.
That hospice link reminded me of some Bad Indian Sign I got on Saturday. I had gone to the doctor and had a few medical tests run a few days earlier. In Saturday's mail were a doctor bill, two lab bills, and an offer from a local funeral home and cemetery.
