Putin appears to be sensitive to potential widespread public opposition in Russia, and claims he's not using draftees for the operation. You gotta wonder why it seems to be bogging down.

I’m not convinced it’s bogged down in how it’s being projected by the press... or even if it is anymore than what Russia might have anticpated possible. Putin saw clearly all the buildup of troops, ammunitions, heavy machinery etc. for these past years into Ukraine and other neighboring Nato countries. HE spoke about it often at various G-7 meetings and other International venues if you followed his onterviews and such through these past 8 yrs and prior.

We had a Thread called the “Matrix” several years ago and we chatted about it there.... as well China and Russia were tip toeing around each other as well.

Ukraine, Egypt, the Philippines, etc, in fact all countries on the globe, are capable of being captured.

Only France cannot be captured before it surrenders.

Fierce Ukrainian honey badgers defending their country vs Syrian ragheads getting paid $50 per week by Putin.

“HOUSTON, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM”

Wait till they find out the Ukrainians dip their bullets in pig fat. Stupid cannon fodder is the only thing the rabid mad dog Putin has at this point.

Yeah this reporting is full of propaganda. It’s farcical.

Send in cannon fodder conscripts. Keep the more reliable troops in reserve allowing the conscripts to reveal enemy strengths and weaknesses. The apparent incompetence of the conscripts give the enemy a false confidence that is crushed by more hardened and reliable troops using strategy development from real time combat action from the cannon fodder.

If Putin puts Muslim Syrians there it will make the Ukrainians truly furious; memories of WW-2 and asian invaders destroying everything.

Not to make too much light of this situation, if Iranian Assassins were successful in taking out John Bolton, my question would be, did anyone notice Bolton was gone ??

The casualty numbers are a bit extreme as estimated by each side, but one dynamic seems to be taking shape.. this conflict is settling into a long grind and an insurgency… something Putin hadn’t counted on. The longer this drags on, the more resistance to it at home. Time is not on Putin’s side.

My goodness, what a shrill headline. Sometimes the Daily Fail is right on the money, but quite often, they’re the very embodiment of British yellow journalism.

“Putin appears to be sensitive to potential widespread public opposition in Russia, and claims he’s not using draftees for the operation. You gotta wonder why it seems to be bogging down.”

They are mostly draftees, who were forced to sign a contract before the invasion.

Only one unit involved in the invasion is “professional”, and that’s the elite 4th Guards “Kantemirovites” Tank Division.

They’re allegedly, the best trained, best equipped, hand picked, politically reliable, professional soldiers (along with their sister unit 2nd Taman Guards Motorized Rifle Division), and it speaks volumes as to the true state of the Russian military that they’re getting their asses handed to them, and why Putin is full of bluster about going nuclear.

Daily Mail is always good for a laugh.
not surprised that this globalist propaganda is coming from an anti-Trumper.. Sure - only one side has losses. LOL = no its not bogged down. It looks that DPL fell yesterday. Check out yesterdays Danzig mapper.

I wouldn't be the least surprised if Russian commanders and local Ukrainian forces are working out deals, paying bribes where by the Russians either high tail it out of the area, no harm no foul or suffer for it.

I can't imagine these young Russians wanting to die for an ex-KGB thug like Putin.

Don't they have grandparents and great-grandparents who suffered under the terror of the KGB?

I don't care one way or another. Not our circus, not our monkeys but I really don't think the Russian military's heart is in this.

The Mail has been slavishly reporting every piece of Ukrainian propaganda from the beginning.

Too late to change at this point I guess.
