Vladimir Putin’s war with Ukraine is not going to plan due to Kremlin ‘overconfidence’, poor tactical planning, and ‘shock’ at the fierce resistance put up by brave Ukrainians fighting for national survival, intelligence sources have claimed.
Dramatic video shows a destroyed Russian convoy with Z-markings near Kherson in the south of the country on the third day of fighting after Ukraine’s army held control of Kyiv and last night successfully repelled Russian advances on the capital.
Kyiv’s defence ministry has so far put Russia’s losses at around 2,800 troops, 80 tanks, 516 armoured vehicles, and 10 airplanes and seven helicopters so far.

Kiev - Massengrab!
And yet, with supposedly 1990 warplanes left, Ukrainian jets and helicopters are still in the sky shooting missiles at Russian armor.
The Russkies STILL haven’t taken out the Ukrainian air force despite promising to do so on day one!
I would love to think that, but more likely these were just carrying supplies. Likely artillery rounds and rockets.
Not behind paywall.

While I've been no recent fan of Ukraine, especially with regard to all the criminal bribes and ties to US politicians, I definitely see them as the lesser of two evils when compared to the long term US adversary Russia who just overran their border.
And I think most of the sympathy we're seeing from Freepers towards Russia is related to the likely fictitious but still possible secret partnership between Trump and Putin, that many Q supporters here honestly believe in. They are outright admitting it on some of their posts, saying that previous posts by Q convinced them that the true battle right now is Trump/Putin verses the Deep State/NWO, and Trump's recent comments praising Putin are in their minds perfect proof of that partnership.
Most of them seem to be taking a break from posting since Ukraine didn't just collapse in the first 48 hours, but they're still out there, and little is probably going to convince them that Putin is wrong no matter how it turns out, because they believe in Q so strongly and Trump has done little to dissuade them in that belief.
It's a shame that Russia and the US can't be partners, especially against China, but actions such as the ones Putin just did are ample evidence it's unlikely to happen anytime soon, no matter what Trump's true feelings might be.
Quantity is a quality all its own. I think Putin's objective is to capture and/or execute Volodymyr Zelenskyy and then leave. Then Russian peacekeepers will be stationed (most likely in the "independent Russian speaking republics".
A photo of Ukraine's ruling "Neo-Nazi" with friends about to read a good book:
They have made multiple attempts to enter the city. The result can be seen of videos and photos of dead Russians splayed across the streets of Kiev. If the plan is to lay seige to Kiev and wait the weeks/months it’ll take to starve them out, they’re doing it wrong.
That has to be in the back of Putten’s mind. Resources in Eastern Russia Vastly more beneficial to China than Taiwan would be.
The safety of innocent civilians is also at the top of my list, but the destruction of as much of the Red Russian Army as possible is definitely second.
Not because I necessarily support Ukraine's current government, but because if the Russians incur significant losses, the chances of this current conflict somehow even accidentally expanding into a war with NATO will be reduced significantly.
It could also serve as a warning to China that any assault into Taiwan might not go according to plan, either.
The article is deluded wishful thinking.
Russia’s goal appears to be the destruction of flagged Ukrainian forces which is proceeding apace.
They are taking losses. I’m sure they expected to.
But they will probably occupy every Ukrainian military facility within 10 days after start. And there will be no more flagged resistance.
The mopping up will be the job of the new government.
I see russia as Mexico, but with a LOT of nukes. Several of which are still functioning. Only Mexico is run by drug cartels and pooty is just old school mafia. Our CIA is a combo of both. Proceed with caution.
Frank Gorshin was better than Cesar Romero, but Heath Ledger was better than Jim Carrey.
Yes. But, leaders in our nation are no angels either.

can you say, BROKESKY???
How many troops has the UK sent to support poor Ukraine?
This kind of thing will probably take off in China and Russia around 2030, that's 10 years from now, give or take. Just about when demographics will be a serious problem for both nations. Now they have a little bit time. But not that much.
Thank you!

“I think it would have been a cakewalk for us“
The red army of 1945 was no joke, they fielded arguably 3 of the top 5 generals of the entire war. One only needs a cursory glance at the eastern front to understand that was next level stuff. The largest battles ever fought by humankind were on the eastern front. There would be no cakewalk east of Berlin.
