“I deliberately threw explosives at a vehicle full of destructive ordinance, and now the resulting detonation has leveled the street. How could this happen?”
Well at least they finally captured it after having been reported to have captured it on the first day of the War.
KGB (or whatever they call themselves these days)
That doesn't mean that there isn't a resistance movement there or in any city that falls.
Since we're approaching the Rasputitsa season, would the presence of muddy roads actually help Ukraine though?
AVTOVAZ, the largest car manufacturer in Russia, will stop production on 5th of March.War is ultimately about economics, and production
If one is pro-Russia here, they are pro-war. I'm anti-war and pro-Ukraine defending itself.
Conterpoint: Whatever the EU whines, V4 and the like prove that its perfectly possible to tell them to fuck off. Which Ukrainians absolutely would have.Is that what they'd tell the pilots though?
A thought I had on that...
If the Ukrainian Nationalists really hoped that the West would support them in having their own country in which their nation could live as an independent people, being ruled by their own kind, etc... they would have likely been cruelly disappointed anyway.
Current Western regimes don't believe in the right of ethnic self-determination even for their own people!
If Ukraine had been absorbed into NATO and/or the EU, how long before the demand would come to open the floodgates for mass immigration from Africa or the Middle-East?
Leftist academics smugly proclaiming that Ukrainians had no culture of their own and needed to be "enriched" by Nigerians or Yemenis?
And so on.
They might find themselves being heavily oppressed by the Russians - but the Russians at least do not want to genocide them and replace them with Third-World immigrants.
They do a lot of subcontract work for foreign companies which said they are going out of Russia.AVTOVAZ, the largest car manufacturer in Russia, will stop production on 5th of March.
As of now there is no set date when the production is to resume.
And now you are making up your very own, personally approved international order for everyone to follow... that no country cares about, it exists only as a framework to fit your Russia apologia.Well, it's likely a factor; I'll grant you that much. All the more reason though to denounce the coup, and America/Europe's role in it, as well as their insistence on pushing NATO to Russia's border; because without that, Russia wouldn't have the justification to go in.
I'm pretty sure Putin's actions are directed by what Putin thinks, not what you think.Putin's the one that called them an "artificial country"; I'm asserting that they're a country run by an illegitimate government.
Then why exactly did Russia have a victory editorial ready to run in late February 2022?

Looks like the cauldrons are snapping shut,boiling what is inside,then becoming part of bigger cauldrons.
UkA SOF AT Teams are declining in effectiveness. UkA was forced to fritter them away in local counter-attacks on the 1st Echelon, and while they had many successes, local-counter attacks are militarily useless at the operational level and these troops who would have been better served fighting in the cities or as part of a Corps Level Counter-Attack were wasted in open field battles with mechanized forces for no operational advantages.
I mean, any idea why? The protests didn't seem all that serious or big in Russia.I expect martial law to be declared in Russia tonight or tomorrow, and I'm not alone in this expectation. I know that many western-inclined people try to escape before this day ends.

Yeah, that too,they sacrificed a lot of old tech to bog down and fragment the Ukrainians, and the multiple lines of attack split them up.
I am pretty sure that a large portion of that 40km column around Kiev will probably start driving down the Dnieper at some point in the not too distant future.
That will likely be the final cauldron, with sideshows in the south and north-west, keeping what is left of the Ukrainian army guessing.
It is not certain.And you know this.....how?
I'm not confusing ot misreading anything, I freely admit I have no idea what's going because I don't have the information, background, or skillset to make a clear judgement of what's happening, and I'm not following events closely precisely because trying to do is a waste of time given that I can't meaningful do anything what whatever information I collect.
What I find questionable is how you, someone that is equally as unqualified and lacking a clear view of what's happening, can possibly be so certain you're right.
I don't think a revitalized and expanding NATO, Western nations doing everything they can to inflict economic damage on Russia in response to this, 8ncluding possibly moving away from Russian energy trade to give them space for severe sanctions, and a possible years long Western backed insurgency in Ukraine is cheap. Sure, maybe the immediate term military loses are survivable, but long term.....I don't see how this works out for Russia, particularly because they're not actually gaining anything of value.
And that's if they actually win, which is not certain. Likely, yes, but not certain.
