Fleeing in stolen civilian vehicles, looking as though they abandoned any heavy weaponry and munitions to Ukraine.

The Russians had a very large force descending on Kiev early in the war: they literally couldn't get out of their own way and were picked off by the Ukrainians.

300,000 even worse trained and equipped troops won't help much.

“300,000 even worse trained and equipped troops won’t help much.”

Perhaps, but I suspect most of the 300,000 will be used behind the lines.

Lithuanians have called dibs on Smolensk, though.

“Ukraine is welcome to have it.”

That isn’t what Vladolph Putler said yesterday.

Is this today’s current truth from the Party?

So hard to keep up.

“Eventually, Ivan will turn on their Fuhrer.”

The only question is: will he off himself in a bunker like Hitler or be rounded up, beaten to a pulp and hoisted by the feet like Mussolini?

“The Russians had a very large force descending on Kiev early in the war: they literally couldn’t get out of their own way and were picked off by the Ukrainians.”

Russian forces took more casualties in the first two weeks of this war, than the USA did in the whole of the Iraq and Afghan wars, combined.

And that was with the cream of the crop of Russia’s Military.

To paraphrase the Ukrainian MoD, We have defeated the professional Russian military, now bring on the amateurs.

Wait until these 300,000 untrained, unequipped cannon fodder soldiers get into the fight.

Do show predictions if they are bold and meaningful, that is what predictions are for, to go back to and see who was making the best predictions from the sources they depended on and their ability to make correct decisions and choices from whatever information they chose to believe.

—” Putin is running the Ruskie military now and he is making stupid decisions. Eventually, Ivan will turn on their Fuhrer.”

From an old Russian master.

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

—” Ukrainian orchestra in Lyman”

And dance “troop”.

A very good sign, they can smile and have a bit of fun.

—”So much for them being ‘encircled’ and about to be liquidated, as we hear for the past 2 weeks.

As it is, the (smallish) town is empty, and it’s rubble, Ukraine is welcome to have it.”

BobL instead of pecking out snips of your opinion, with this being a cakewalk and all.

You should make an attempt to become an FR combat reporter.

And sent it in from the front.
In real-time with video.

NB: death waits with every step in empty towns.

It is the mine or sniper you didn’t see that gets you.

—Whatcha gonna do, Poot?”

Putin has stated that Russia needs to be cleaned.
Most thought he was speaking of low-life criminals.

Now some are saying his “call up” is hitting non-Russian ethnic groups. Not many from Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
Putin’s diabolical plan has the Ukrainians kill the conscripts and the draft dodgers are gone from the country.

Ethnic cleansing on the cheap.

Russia Has NO PLAN For Their Soldiers After Mobilization

Russia is so losing this war. It’s getting silly for them to keep fighting.

More of the new Russian lend-lease program.

Russia is the number one supplier to the Ukraine.
