Is the bombing of a civilian apartment building in Russia a new NATO/Polish tactic?
Attacking the Economic Development ministry. Now that’s a game changer. /sarc
Perhaps the Russians should negotiate an agreement with the Ukrainians ending all attacks against civilian targets in cities. However I doubt that the Russians would be interested. They want to be able to attack Ukrainian cities with impunity.
The building is a monument to Russian corruption and pride
An oligarch, possibly Putin himself, owns the building and rents space to the government

Had Ukraine managed to squirrel away a couple of nukes or obtain them on the black market, Moscow could be a smoking radioactive ruin. Their defenses are obviously ineffective.

I wonder how many such attacks would have taken place if
Russia didn’t have hundreds of thousands of troops on
Ukrainian soil, and hadn’t been sending missiles into
a number of Ukrainian cities.
Is it just me, or are others having a real problem holding
back these big crocodile tears. /s
The drama surrounding Gonzalo’s fate takes place against the growing desperation of Ukraine. Ukraine’s attack on Moscow on two consecutive days with drones had zero military benefit for Kiev. One likely motive for this weak effort is the West’s persistent delusional belief that Putin’s domestic support is wilting and that these types of attacks will galvanize hardliners to oust him. I also believe that Ukraine is hoping these attacks will provoke a Russian response that will compel NATO to intervene militarily on behalf of Ukraine.
This is a fool’s errand and underscores the panic that is taking hold in both Kiev and NATO. We learned from the classified documents leaked from Jack Teixeira’s Discord account that a total of 12 Brigades were trained for this offensive. Normally, a brigade consists of 5,000 soldiers. Just do the math. That means a maximum of 60,000 troops. Based on briefings from Russia’s Defense Ministry, Ukraine has suffered at least 30,000 casualties since the start of the counter-offensive on June 4th. If true this means that 50% of Ukraine’s trained counter offensive soldiers have been eliminated from the battlefield. Minister of Defense Shoigu reported today that Ukraine’s casualties for July alone are 20,000. Those are horrific, catastrophic numbers and Ukraine does not have a ready supply of fresh, trained troops to throw into the battle.
With all of the anti-drone, and gps jammers used in and around Moscow?
Doubt that these drones are Ukrainian.
