For those of us (like me) unfamiliar with the term, this is what the Next Generation Light Anti-Tank Weapon is.
The Russians have gone in

I don't think the Russians will get much of a trade-in on that tank when they try to trade it in on a new one.

I think the "truth" is somewhere around Putin thought the Ukrainians would just roll over and he & minions could just waltz in and take over. Now that the Ukrainians are fighting back, Putin will level Ukraine as punishment.
The rouble stands at 107.37 to one dollar right now.

So what was it before all this BS started. Never have dealt in rubles before, lots of other currencies, but not rubles.
Update: Just answered my own question. The ruble was averaging about 75 rubles to the dollar before this farcas started. Right now according to Eastern European EMs highly correlated to Ruble it is at 116 to the dollar.

Yes, there are a lot of different claims being made by both sides, especially about the types and numbers of casualties. But...
What is definitely *not* propaganda are the documented Russian attacks on civilian targets (both people and infrastructure), which we see playing out on television every day. Respectfully, it's not hard at all to tune in "truth"...you just have to turn on your television and open your eyes.
When this is over, and the inevitable war crimes investigation and subsequent trial takes place, it will have been exhaustively documented, and the evidence against Putin and his myrmidons will be incontrovertible.

thousands of anti-tank rockets on their way, an increasing number of volunteer mercenaries are arriving in country to fight, Russia admitted a general leading a battlation was killed, and thousands of Ruski body bags are arriving in Russia.
Putin will win the invasion, and lose the war.

BBC revives shortwave radio dispatches in Ukraine, and draws ire of Russia.
From the New York Times:
From the New York Times:
"As Russia is trying to cut off the flow of information in Ukraine by attacking its communications infrastructure, the British news outlet BBC is revisiting a broadcasting tactic popularized during World War II: shortwave radio.
The BBC said this week that it would use radio frequencies that can travel for long distances and be accessible on portable radios to broadcast its World Service news in English for four hours a day in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, and in parts of Russia.
"It's often said truth is the first casualty of war," Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, said in a statement. "In a conflict where disinformation and propaganda is rife, there is a clear need for factual and independent news people can trust."...

Sadly it appears that Russia has fired upon a Nuclear plant in Ukraine and there are fires burning, first time in history.
The Ruskies are getting frustrated.
