Gosh, this comment got a reaction. Note that I did not predict what would happen, only that a change is in the offing. What is the difference? Russia has to date conducted what they have termed a “Special Military Operaton” in which they have used a limited amount of troops and have not, as it appears to me, systematically (as opposed to one-off attacks) attempted to take down the Ukrainian power grid and rail network. The vast majority of the infantry used by the Russians so far appears to be irregular forces such as the Donbas militia, Chechens and Wagner. And their Air Force has seemed to be mostly MIA. Now, all this could reflect their limited capability. Or it may have been because of how they viewed and designated the war up until now. Now that the four areas have been declared to be part of Russia, we shall see if the Russians start doing things differently and if it makes a difference. I make no predictions. Except that the war will not be won by macho talk here on FR.
