So, you're arguing for mass-killing of defenseless Russian civilians, with 5000 US nukes?

Fellas, we're already veering off from Blast's original question about specific news sources, and rapidly diving off the "no politics" cliff, too.

The one constant in struggles like this is that civilians are under threat from both sides. That's the real survival story IMO -- and the one that puts my stomach in knots. There is no hell like a refugee's hell.

And all I was saying that out of 14.000 of them, a few may still work.

Hopefully none of these ever get into the hands of terrorist.

I remember reading someone in our Department of War's assesment of German that was written in 1932. He expected Germany to collapse from internal pressure and bad leadership by 1941.

Oops.

I'm not counting them out. Not by a long shot.

The BBC World Service on the radio is very good. More accurate than the rest of the BBC news services.

CNN reporting Russia appears to be digging in and not leaving. US is asking Turkey for permission to put an air craft carrier off their coast for "humanitarian aid."
