Vladimir Solovyov wants to nuke Western cities
Just as a reminder, this is the main guy in the video. He is not some fringe kook. He has the full support of the Russian establishment although I think they view him as just someone to whip up the crowds and not someone to be taken seriously. But I still it is important to remember that this is becoming part the the normal discourse in Russia.

True but a good case could be made that both our healthcare and our education are overpriced compared to much of the world. Both rightists and leftists assume that the U.S. spends far lower to combat social problems (poverty, healthcare, education) than peer nations, but that is not true.

I still don’t think there is enough panic over this. This analysis assumes interests rates will more or less stay the same which is not the historical norm for this level of debt growth “Spending on Social Security will grow from $1.5 trillion this year to $2.5 trillion by 2034, while spending on health care will grow from $1.6 trillion to $2.8 trillion,” a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget analysis found. “Net interest costs will more than double from $870 billion this year to $1.6 trillion by 2034, after costs nearly doubled between 2020 and 2023. Interest on the debt is the fastest growing part of the budget and will be the second largest government expenditure this year, surpassing both defense and Medicare.”

From what I understand from various sources, the primary causes of the fall were lack of artillery shells on the Ukrainian side, a heavy fog that rolled in for a few days that kept the drone from being effective, and lots and lots of very large glide bombs lobed from long range by Russian aircraft. Even with all of those things the losses were absolutely horrendous on the Russian side as you can see recounted from a Russian source here (you have to keep clicking through on the side to get to get all of it). A list of all the different Russian formations that played a roll can be found here.
