AAAAAaaannnnnddddd....the war effort is collapsing in the Ukraine. Soldiers don’t like being forced to wade out into heavy fire to attack the first of 3 lines of defense without air cover. Just crawl and die. That’s bad for morale.
The ‘problem’ of the disparity in air support between Russia and the Ukraine continues, as it has from the start, to disproportionately kill off more Ukrainians than Russians.
The ‘problem’ of NATO running out of arms/ammo to give the Ukraine is coming to a head and NATO is signalling the end of the conflict is drawing near, even as they bang the table and make ‘promises.’ At this point Ukrainians are losing more rapidly than before, they will certainly lose significant portions of land if they are not divided up among neighboring nations completely. NATO will at most, regret the loss of face and the loss of ammo, but will not dwell on the destruction of so many Ukrainian lives.
Putin’s invasion will be as successful as Luna-25
he’s gonna end up losing the Donbas and the other occupied territory
he should have stopped when his attempted encirclement of Kiev failed, then he still could have saved Russia’s reputation and European O & G markets ... now it’s all lost, permanently
he’s probably also gonna lose the Crimea as well
“Putin’s Blunder”, one of the great mistakes of History
My guess is that with Ukraine’s reduced military options but sustained resolve, we will see many posts celebrating how Ukraine has droned a Russian shopping mall or hospital in the weeks to come.
