Counting on the republicans to screw themselves is how trump got in office in the first place. They will absolutely rally around whoever wins the primary. They do not care about choosing the best candidate, or any other silly concepts like competence. Only about doing whatever it takes to hurt you.

*Update- they found the bodies this afternoon.

Pertinent information from the article:

"Vancouver man is accused of violating a no-contact order with his girlfriend, among other allegations, in a December drive-by shooting case. Vancouver police say the woman and her 7-year-old daughter are also now missing.

..Warren is already charged in Superior Court with drive-by shooting, second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, gross misdemeanor harassment with bodily injury and two counts of fourth-degree assault, all under the domestic violence prong

...On Saturday, a friend reported that Melendez and her daughter were missing. She said she last saw Melendez on March 11 or 12. Warren had come to the friend’s apartment and taken custody of Layla, who had stayed there overnight. The friend said Melendez was unresponsive and partially clothed in Warren’s car, according to a probable cause affidavit.

..Prosecutors also noted he has a pending case for a 2017 homicide in Arkansas. Court records show he posted $250,000 bond in that case Dec. 13, 2017, the day after his arrest."

"The new brigades" being trained in Europe are, indeed, new brigades. The ones that are being trained on new equipment aren't. It wouldn't make sense to train conscripts on the best and most expensive pieces of equipment your army is gonna have, would it? Yeah, again, I agree. It's more like 110-120 modern Western tanks in total, which makes a huge difference. IFVs, attillery, everything, also counts. These are the numbers Valeriy Zalushnuy asked for and to quote "Give me this amount and I will retake Melitopol". But yes, in the grand scheme we'll need more, this is absolutely true. Not really sure why it's going so slow, it seems politically it has been decided to make russia suffer a decisive defeat. Putin is a wanted man, so negotiations are off the table. Is it possible there are actual logistical bottlenecks?
