* A Pentagon official on Monday said Vladimir Putin has now sent all his invasion forces into Ukraine
* Russia had massed more than 150,000 troops along the border with Ukraine in recent months
* The official also confirmed that Russian had begun recruiting foreign fighters - including Syrians
* He said it was 'noteworthy' that Putin 'had to rely on foreign fighters' to supplement a huge invasion force
* And he said it was not yet possible to tell if civilians were being targeted deliberately by Russian attacks

'We now assess that Putin has committed nearly 100 percent of his combat power into Ukraine,' the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.

"But the United States does not believe that Russia is “preparing to move additional battalion tactical groups from elsewhere in the country” to shore up its troops in Ukraine."

If that link was from Fred, it is a good one and helpful to know about. Why then, call him names as though rejecting anything that is useful and helps that which we stand for?
Fred in his Truss incarnation has been snarky and 4ude. Therefore anything he says treated with great distaste.
Ah yes, the type of genocide where humanitarian corridors are opened for civilians to leave, as was done repeatedly in Syria.
