Some good news, but we need more.
Russia needs to bleed for this.
So many Ukraine soldiers are fleeing that the Ukraine government announced that no men 18-60 should be allowed to leave the country LOL but good luck enforcing that when the enforcers themselves are running away too
A peaceful constructive happy solution needs to be instituted.
“Russia needs to bleed for this.”
The bleeding has just begun.
The first day, and the last day are kind of glorious for at least one side, but the harsh reality of war is in between.
Those Stingers, NLAWs and Javelins can make any Ukrainian the match for a Russian tank or helicopter. There are easily thousands of those weapons in Ukrainian hands. The UK alone provided 2,000 NLAWs in just the last few weeks. I just saw a report that NLAWs destroyed three Russian tanks in an engagement near the border around Kharkiv.
Kiev is probably bristling with them. They require only minutes of training, and their self-guided rounds make it hard to miss. Babushka could pop one out the living room window from her rocking chair, and kill whichever tank seemed to be sporting the most antennae (i.e. the Command vehicle).
Russian conscripts being captured. This is no super man army and Ukraine is a huge country. Putin has bitten off way more than he can chew.
Putin needs to be tried as a war criminal for this. He got away with his past expansionist actions; the world needs to put a stop to him. He is murdering his people and Ukrainian people for no valid reason.
We, Europe and everybody else need to start dealing with a new, sane Russian president.
