Considerably worse? YA DONT SAY.

When uploading videos, if you can remember to shorten the names on them, that would be helpful. If not, no worries, I can fix them, but when they have really really long names, it blows the thread out of frame and it's hard to see the video

I'm guilty of this. Will be more considerate with filenames from now on.

This afternoon, 3-2-22, the New York Times is reporting that U.S. intelligence agencies state that the reason the huge convoy is moving so slowly is that many of the Russian troops are defecting, surrendering, or sabotaging their vehicles so they don't have to move. They are draining the fuel tanks, or punching holes in them. So maybe THAT is why the convoy of death is stalled in place. I sure hope so.
Also, the man who was the Russian Foreign Minister under Gorbachev says that Putin is nuts and a traitor to Russia.

After thinking about this over the last week, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that this is not a RUSSIAN problem, it is a SOVIET problem. These last remaining hangers-on to the old, failed SOVIET system, are the guys who are rooting for this war in Ukraine. There are increasing numbers of regular Russians who DO NOT support this invasion, and want it to end. I guess we will see which way Russia swings by the end of this sad episode.
