I'll bet on the cream puffs, too. In related news, In a 1967 interview with Larry Miller, Jerry Garcia gave some background on the title of the song: Well, the title for the song came after the song. I already developed the idea - this is the only song that I claim totally - this is mine from beginning to end! I actually wrote it. We were down in LA, I was writing, I had the changes worked out and the bridge and the first verse... The whole thing was just meandering along. Pigpen said let's call it...Cream Puff War. (WEIR - No, I said it.) Or you did, somebody did. At any rate, the title - doesn't really mean anything particularly, it's just the name of the song. It's like, did you ever read Through the Looking Glass or Alice in Wonderland, where they have a thing about something and then the name of it, and the name of its name, and so on, so that the thing is named several times removed from the actual thing and not in any way related to it. Well, we kind of name our songs that way. So Cream Puff War is the name of that song just because it was a name that happened to be around, and then later on I happened to work it into the lyric as the last line. whitegum.com

Russia gains ground in Bakhmut: 'Little by little they are winning'The battle for the pivotal city of Bakhmut in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region has seen some of the fiercest fighting of the invasion. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office said the situation in Bakhmut's northern suburb of Paraskoviivka was “difficult" amid intense shelling. Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said Russian forces appeared to be adding manpower: “We’re seeing a very tough battle in which the Russians aren’t sparing neither themselves nor us.” Moscow controls both main roads into the city, leaving one back route left – a slender supply line, the BBC reports. "They have been trying to take the city since July," Iryna Rybakova, press officer for Ukraine's 93rd Brigade, told BBC. "Little by little they are winning now. They have more resources, so if they play the long game they will win. I can't say how long it will take. "Maybe they will run out of resources. I really hope so." news.yahoo.com

'Little by Little They Are Winning': Russia Continues to Gain Ground in UkraineChris Menahan

Russia is slowly but surely winning in Ukraine, the controlled press is now admitting.

From USA Today, "Russia gains ground in Bakhmut: 'Little by little they are winning'":

The battle for the pivotal city of Bakhmut in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region has seen some of the fiercest fighting of the invasion. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office said the situation in Bakhmut's northern suburb of Paraskoviivka was "difficult" amid intense shelling.

Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said Russian forces appeared to be adding manpower: "We're seeing a very tough battle in which the Russians aren't sparing neither themselves nor us."

Moscow controls both main roads into the city, leaving one back route left – a slender supply line, the BBC reports.

"They have been trying to take the city since July," Iryna Rybakova, press officer for Ukraine's 93rd Brigade, told BBC. "Little by little they are winning now. They have more resources, so if they play the long game they will win. I can't say how long it will take.

"Maybe they will run out of resources. I really hope so."

We've been told Russia is "running out of weapons and supplies" over and over again since March 2022 -- just one month after the war began.

It still hasn't happened.

FRANCE 24 just did a piece about Ukrainian losses

Emotions are very high. In the cemetery, a lot of the KIA are from Bakhmut

A Bakhmut commander refuses to say how many KIA his battalion has suffered, and says just thinking about it gives him "uncontrollable emotions" and pain. pic.twitter.com/yNT4ItjdIT

Ukraine’s military on Monday barred aid workers from entering Bakhmut as Russian forces tightened their grip, in what could be a prelude to a Ukrainian withdrawal and the biggest tactical gain for the deeply troubled Russian invasion since July. t.co

Nonetheless, the US and NATO keep stringing Ukraine along with this BS to encourage them to fight their proxy war with Russia.

The most likely outcome of this war is that Russia will take the Donbas and Ukraine will agree not to join NATO and recognize Crimea as Russian, which is an outcome that could have been achieved 10 months ago ( with a tiny fraction of the deaths and the EU/global economy intact) if the US and NATO didn't bribe the Zelensky regime with over $100 billion to keep the war going in perpetuity.
