The convoy is still there.  It's still huge.  It's not moving much.

Optimistic hopes are that they're experiencing difficulties due to road conditions/harassment from Ukrainian forces/logistical issues.

But it could just be that they're pausing and regrouping for their inevitable siege.

OK, but it was reported breathlessly as a THING just two days ago.  Now it's just there, hardly moving, not in the news.

I suppose it's yet another indication of what seems a headline one day disappeared the next often enough.  But it gets clicks.

I think President Biden's SOTU speech has jolted the Russians in the convoy.

Speech?

I watched the Badgers.

What speech?

This post is relevant, by the way, as the Ukrainian people and soldiers are digging in like Badgers, and they don't give a shit.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

would find this funny if Ukraine wasn't such a spectacularly corrupt country and it's current President Zelenskyy's didn't pop up all over the leaked Pandora Papers in which it was shown he had hidden assets off-shore (to avoid taxation) and if he didn't have such close ties to Ihor Kolomoyskyi- the 3rd richest Oligarch in Ukraine - including a $41 million deal- where the funds were shown to almost immediately be transferred off-shore and out of the country.
