Russia will have to rely on nukes, cyberattacks,
and China since its military is being thrashed in
Ukraine, US intel director says
...
At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Russia "has suffered losses that will require years of rebuilding and leave it less capable of posing a conventional military threat."
As a result, Haines said, "Russia will become even more reliant on asymmetric options such as nuclear, cyber, space capabilities, and on China."
...
...Putin has made repeated nuclear threats as his invasion struggles to achieve its objectives...
...
Haines' comments on Wednesday echo the sentiments of other US officials on Russia's status after its war in Ukraine. In late February, a top Pentagon official told lawmakers Russia had lost the war and will emerge from war in Ukraine a "shattered military power."...
...
...top military experts have offered similar assessments. "Russia's
invasion of Ukraine has been a strategic defeat. So far, the Kremlin has
not been able to achieve its strategic-level objectives, and it has
incurred significant costs. Russia's military is going to have to be
rebuilt," George Barros, a military analyst at the Institute for the
Study of War, told Insider in September.

Deer beat Mice without Giannis and Jrue Holiday last night...
NEW YORK -- — Needing two overtimes to get by Boston two nights earlier left the New York Knicks low on fuel when they returned home. “Just ran out of gas," All-Star Julius Randle said.
Hmm. Thought the excuse was going to be no Brunson (23.9 ppg). They sure started with a full tank. It does make some sense, though. New Yorkers will come up with any excuse. There's no excuse. ...
"Sixers" didn't have Beard, still had no problem after shaking jet lag from dispatching MN. with ease. Wolfs have a decent record and Phil. massacred them in the Frozen Tundra. ...
Dealey Plaza doesn't have a great record, 34-32, and a bad record (4-6) since they were infested with Bed Bugs. How is that possible when you have Luka Doncic?...
PHO got KD so they won that trade, but man, BKN got a star back in Mikal Bridges, who had 30 last night in the win in Cowtown. ...
L-7, W-5, L-3, beat Bockers in MSG. Ladies and gentlemen, your Charlotte "Hornets." ...
You'd think in a game where no defense is allowed (OKC 53.2%, GS 52.8%) that Splash & Co. would win handily. And Steph did Steph things, 40 pts, 14/23 (10/16), and Klay had 23, but the "Thunder" got the dub. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 and seven Thunders scored in dub-dijs. Sam Presti is one of the very best GMs in the business and this decent, young team is going to get unprecedented augmentation in the next few years. OKC has eight first round draft picks in the next three drafts and six seconds. There is thunder rolling just over the horizon.

I'TIS OVAH! I'TIS OVAH! BUZZ BOINKS BOCKERS 112-107, ENDS NIX 9-GAME WIN STREAK!
A *stinging* loss for NY, ho-ho-ho. Oh God, if I didn't hate New York and New Yorkers so much I would feel sorry for them! They 🤮 up a 16-point HT lead at home to a team they were favored by 10 to beat! HAHAHAHAHA!
