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.

The Ukrainian forces seem to be trying to hang on to their human shields.
There's a video of what are described as Ukrainian forces killing a carload of people who were - apparently - trying to leave Mariupol.
First video on this page:
Obviously Southfront is a pro-Russia site. The video is not graphic, but is horrifying.
So “globalism” caused Putin to send his military in to ravage Ukraine?
“Putin is the murderer”
That’s the part Putin’s many FR fans seem to fail to understand.
Yep...
Where is the line in Russia to go fight these “nazis”? There isn’t one.
There also wasn’t one in England when Chamberlain waved his paper claiming “peace in our times!” As I recall there was only 1 person in the UK that knew they were a threat and that was Churchill. No comparison to Putin, but maybe just maybe the ‘N’ in NWO doesn’t stand for New.

No line to fight them, but they are there like it or not!
Proof that Russia can’t feed its own military. They won’t find it so easy in the future. They might find themselves getting killed in ambushes while trying to steal food in the future.
Like I posted earlier, I think the 140,000 Russian soldiers who did not go in on the initial invasion are likely support troops. There are likely ill-trained in combat and would have no chance of survival, even against civilian partisans who know the territory.
That story is BS. I believe nothing in the media on this war.
Look at The Winter War of 1939/40.
The Finns sure gave the Russians a run for their money.
The Checneyians did everything right in Grozny and the Russians leveled the city. Cause that’s how the Russians roll. They Russians took huge losses, but ultimately prevailed. I doubt the Ukrainians are as hard as the Chechynians, but they seem to be punching above their weight. They question is whether or not the will go all Grozny on Kiev. I hope not, but it’s certainly on the table.
Finally some realizes how hard it will be to Starve Kiev. Longer the supply lines grow the more man power it takes and the easier they become to disrupt.
Yes, and you don't need to go back to WWII to see why. Sarajevo was besieged from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996 (1,425 days). Unsuccessfully.
Did not say it was impossible. Said it was difficult and the longer the supply gets the harder it is to hold. Sarajevo seemed to have been bottled up everyone on the inside.
1) IF it works
2) STILL looking at a 20-year lag between kids and productive adults
3) These things always have unexpected side effects (think vaxxes)
4) I am nearly alone here in thinking the ChiComs are seriously screwed both pop wise and energy wise.
