The Ukraine Invasion

Their defense minister, when asked about the light resistance, literally said “all our best forces are in Ukraine”. What an astounding comment. On so many levels. It’s like, the more you think about that comment, the worse and worse it is for the Russians.

I don’t think China is going to attempt a land grab but you bet your ass their ears perked up a bit. Also a lot of those ethnic republics might start stirring a bit. This was just the beginning to their inner problems.

I wonder if Putin has an actual personal exit plan, or if he just assumed that he would rule for the rest of his life.

“In a first”?

Hmm… could Wagner group regrouping in other country. Forget name. Early. Another attack in kyiev area? I think I posted before. Trust nothing.

Ain’t nobody getting far attacking Kyiv from the north.

I don’t think 18,000 mercs can do against fortified positions what about 80,000 couldn’t do against unprepared positions. Belarus didn’t just become a possible staging point for an attack on Ukraine, it has already been a staging point for such attacks.

The big “S” must stand for something - in any color it seems to be a warning of sorts.

Prigozhin is back in Russia, presumably to get a closer look at the ground.

Looks like Ukraine took another swing at the Kerch Bridge piñata.

There’s the first bit of candy.

The bridge may be the least of Putin’s problems in Crimea.

There is no evidence linking the group to the latest attack on the Kerch Bridge, early on Monday morning, but the group has claimed a string of smaller-scale attacks, blowing up Russian checkpoints, assassinating Russian officers, setting fire to barracks and feeding sensitive information to Ukrainian intelligence.

Quite certain the Ukrainian military will figure out a way to get them weapons. Also Ukraine says they hit the bridge with those surface drones they’ve been using.

One day after his first public appearance. Classic. I don’t feel bad for him or his entourage but do for the three crew members on the plane. Who in their right mind would take that charter?

Should never have asked for the window seat.

I was thinking exactly that. I was about to update this thread but Cabrera best me to it.

ETA — I am also seeing Russian language comments about marching on Moscow if the crash story is true. Interesting times.

I’m waiting for one of the republics to declare independence. The response to that will be interesting to see.
