In a Twitter thread on Wednesday, Mark Hertling referenced what he said were claims on Russian state television that it will take two months for recently-mobilized Russians to reach the Ukraine frontlines. “Great. But will they be able to do anything? No friggin’ way,” Hertling tweeted in reference to the conscripts. Hertling noted that while Russia may be able to provide basic training to its drafted soldiers in that time frame, this is not true for other key skills, such as combined arms warfare and teaching generals, colonels and sergeants the “tenets of leadership....
Hertling took to Twitter on Wednesday to reflect on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine in a series of tweets. He also shared articles of relevance as he voiced his opinion on the state of the war. He insisted that the conflict essentially comes down to Ukraine verse Putin and that the Russian president’s strategies have so far shown signs of failure. “It appears Putin is taking a page out of the 17th century....
Russia began carrying out a series of attacks across Ukraine in October after a strike damaged the Kerch Strait Bridge, which connects Russia to the occupied Crimean peninsula and is also a key supply route for Putin’s troops. Though Ukraine did not formally take responsibility for the explosion, top Ukrainian officials celebrated the development on social media. Additionally, Putin blamed the Kerch Strait Bridge strike on Ukraine, calling it an act of “terrorism,” and vowed to respond....
In a Tweet Monday morning, Graham mocked the announcement from the Russian government by questioning whether Snowden would receive preferential treatment from the Kremlin as it institutes its first troop mobilization since World War 2––a move some analysts describe as an indication of the country’s increasing desperation in its ongoing war with Ukraine. “Now that Edward Snowden has been granted full Russian citizenship I expect he will be on the battlefield in Ukraine fighting for Putin any day now,” Graham tweeted....
On Wednesday, Putin announced plans for a “partial mobilization” to call up reservists and people who had already served in the army, such as men who had previously undertaken mandatory one-year training stints. The move sparked widespread protests and an exodus towards neighboring country such as Georgia as men tried to flee before they were called up. Russians who refuse to fight will face 10-year prison sentences under a new law signed on Saturday....
Russia has struggled to gain footing in its war against Ukraine in the past few weeks, as Ukrainian officials report their adversary is sending troops into Ukraine with World War II-era gear and poorly operating rifles. The wives of mobilized Russian soldiers are complaining that their husbands are being shot at if they attempt to abandon their positions, and are threatening to go to the frontlines to bring their husbands home after a Ukrainian operation wounded many....
Her comments came in a story published by Le Temps, a Swiss newspaper, according to the Associated Press. Del Ponte previously served as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The AP reported that in interviews with Swiss media, Del Ponte has pointed to attacks on civilians and the destruction of villages as war crimes in Ukraine. She also blasted the use of mass graves in Ukraine....
Well, I am little zombiefied right now. Yeah. I know. Awesome. Samuel’s very squishy and pink. Just a very fleshy boy. I love him. The first one that comes to mind is Julio and Enrique Iglesias. I know they had a very fiery, contentious relationship. I hope me and Samuel can rise above that. I don’t think of it so much as a feather in my cap as a fiery hoop that I must dive through....
Still, Lieberman isn’t taking any chances. This week, he announced he’s gathering signatures to petition to run as an independent (who caucuses with Democrats) should he lose the Aug. 8 primary. With polls showing Lamont within striking distance in the primary, but well behind the incumbent in a three-way general election run, some Democrats are concluding an independent bid may be Lieberman’s best shot. NEWSWEEK’s Jonathan Darman and Brian Braiker caught up with Lieberman and Lamont, respectively, just before the senator announced his possible independent candidacy....
But now, Begley, 58, is not only an environmentalist; he also plays one on HGTV’s reality series, “Living With Ed.” Hitting its stride in its second season, the endearing show tracks Begley as he and his wife, Rachelle Carson, “green-audit” the homes of their celebrity friends. Among them: Jay Leno, Helen Hunt and Cheryl Tiegs. NEWSWEEK’s Jamie Reno recently phoned Begley (who happened to be in Las Vegas and seemed a bit unnerved by his gaudy, eco-ignorant surroundings)....
Why are brides spending so much money—and losing their minds? We live in a consumerist society. You’re not a bride, you’re a consumer of bridal products. And second, there’s something very profound psychologically happening. A wedding once marked a major transition in a person’s life—the first time you slept with your spouse, lived with your spouse. Today, you’re just not that different the day after the wedding, so the wedding planning has to function as a traumatic experience....
NEWSWEEK: So what can we look forward to this season in your life as a D-lister? Kathy Griffin: This season is action packed. [The first episode is] gonna be a really funny one because I decided that since I married for love and it didn’t work out, now I want to go out with guys for publicity. Unfortunately I got turned down by everybody I asked. Like Bravo decided it would be great to go out with George Clooney, and I was like, let’s not waste our time, there’s only so many hours in the day and we don’t need to be spending it waiting to be rejected....
She was in the middle of a stay at the extremely remote Amundsen-Scott research station at the South Pole, and it would have been impossible to send a plane to pick her up in the pitch-black Antarctic winter. The 51-year-old–originally from Ohio–had to treat herself. She even performed her own biopsy. She was finally rescued four months later and brought back home. Now her 2001 book accounting the experience, “Ice Bound,” has been turned into a TV movie starring Susan Sarandon....
If you’re 21 or older, the next party you go to will probably have alcoholic drinks, but it might not have much else. Adults who don’t drink alcohol, or who are trying to cut back, may find themselves awkwardly scanning trays of boozy concoctions—or eyeing up the kids’ table instead. Aqxyl Storms, who co-founded the Brooklyn-based nonalcoholic liquor store Minus Moonshine, said adults are too often left out of “fun” beverages if they don’t drink alcohol....
But the power struggle between Abbas and Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat in recent days gave U.S. officials a glimpse of the difficulties they may face as they try to advance negotiations. Israel is ready to talk to Abbas, and Washington hopes he’ll prove more reliable and more flexible than Arafat. But while Abbas appears to have secured his position as prime minister, Arafat showed this week just how determined he is to maintain power....
About 15 million copies of Johnson’s previous book, “The One Minute Manager” (co-written with Kenneth Blanchard), have been snatched up worldwide and the book remains in print two decades after it was published. Can Johnson top those numbers with “The Present: The Gift that Makes You Happy and Successful at Work and in Life”? Doubleday is betting on it. The publisher shipped a quarter of a million copies before the official Oct....
