Russian logistics just aren't. Russia can't march on the actual battlefield much less to Kiev

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has suggested that the troops may have to march onto cities as far as Kyiv or Lviv in Ukraine amid reports that Moscow was facing significant setbacks in the battle in the east.
Considered a strong ally of President Vladimir Putin, Medvedev's statement may have unwittingly given away the position Kremlin finds itself in currently.
“Nothing can be ruled out here. If you need to get to Kyiv, then you need to go to Kyiv, if to Lviv, then you need to go to Lviv in order to destroy this infection,” Medvedev was quoted as saying by Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
The battle for the eastern city of Bakhmut has significantly drained the resources of the Russian side, according to multiple media reports. Since the war began over a year ago, no place has witnessed a battle as fierce as Bakhmut.
Medvedev, who served as Russia's president from 2008 to 2012, has emerged as one of the most hawkish leaders in recent times — routinely issuing blustery and hyperbolic statements.
Earlier this week, he issued a hypersonic missile attack threat to the International Criminal Court (ICC) after the global organisation issued an arrest warrant against Putin.
"I'm afraid, gentlemen, everyone is answerable to God and missiles. It's quite possible to imagine how a hypersonic Oniks fired from a Russian warship in the North Sea strikes the court building in the Hague," Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
"It can't be shot down, I'm afraid. And the court is just a pathetic international organisation, not the people of a NATO country. So, they won't start a war. They'll be scared. And no one will be sorry."
Putin's top ally previously said that a civil war will break out in the US in 2023 and that if Russia lost in the ongoing war, it could provoke the beginning of a 'nuclear war'.
He also stated that any attempt to arrest Putin will be considered a declaration of war against Russia.
1,020 Russian troops had been killed over the previous 24 hours as they launched unsuccessful attacks on the towns of Lyman, Avdiivka, Marinka and Shakhtarske.

Now a neo isolationist stooge
Absolutely, and proud of it. Why?
“Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war,” President Trump said. “We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to IMMEDIATELY have a total cessation of hostilities. All shooting has to stop. This is the central issue. We need PEACE without delay.”
“There must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neo-con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad, while they turn us into a third-world country and a third-world dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the Deep Staters and put America First.” DJT 1/16/23.
Who does a woke green pervo globalist stooge like you vote for? You certainly want nothing to do with Trump. You will soon have a problem. Your leader, the big guy, could be challenged by your Svengali, Hillary. Remember, until you figured out Trump, MAGA and I were Russian stooges, she was the key person ensuring we were aware of the danger to America you think MAGA and I are.
Russian hegemony! That’s rich! Look at a map of NATO, 1991. Look at a map of NATO, 2022. 100% NATO eastward hegemony. NATO now has parked on the border of Russia the greatest offensive military behemoth the world has ever seen. After these incredibly reckless escalations by NATO the Russian decided to defend themselves from the warmonger globalists using NATO as their bloody goon. I don’t blame them. I take the NATO leadership’s constant promises of forced regime change in Moscow as seriously as the Russians do.
Your words of neoisolationist drivel do not move me.
You are failing to distinguish between NATO and the old Warsaw Pact/ the present Russian attempts as expansion. NATO is a voluntary union of mutual self-defense. The Warsaw Pact and the present Russian attempts at expansion are the act of subjugation against unwilling peoples. Because the free nations of the west have joined together in mutual self-defense does not give Russia the right to impose its own sphere of influence on others.
Russian hegemony!
Yes, if countries like Estonia and Latvia weren't in NATO they would have been either invaded by Putin or forced to sign some "neutrality" agreement putting them under Russia hegemony.
Once again, Reagan in today's world, would be for helping Ukraine militarily. He was NOT an isolationist.
Actually, XiJinBiden loving neo-con globalist zombies are a bigger menace!
I hope the globalists pay you well with precious metals because if they pay you with currency, you’re an even bigger patsy than I thought, if that’s possible!
