Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
I'm following twitter right now on this (by far the most up to date source) and I almost can't believe it. It's like a total collapse in that sector. Russian soldiers fleeing, no defensive line, Ukrainians advancing at highway speeds...

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
What a total disaster for the Russians (Putin).
If they do retreat, can he survive politically? I doubt it.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Probably too optimistic, but then agai maybe not given the collapse of an entire front sector and Russians fleeing leaving all heavy equipment behind.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Maybe of interest here. One could argue with conclusions, but he's spot on about history. Me and my parents lived through it. We were in a supply category 2 (unoficcially of course). Not as good as in Moscow, but far better than places like Tver. In Moscow one could even buy bananas...

Soviet humor was always based on reality. It was good.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
The first map is definitely correct, the second is so current that errors and over optimism might have creeped in. Note that they don't show the exact same area. The second map is of an area directly to the south of Kupiansk (seen in both maps). That's where the most recent (last 2 days) fighting is happening and Russians are in danger again.

Someone's gonna take Putin out if the truth starts spreading through Russia.

IF the truth comes out. But that is a big if. He knows how to control the media.
The only way that happens is if soldiers come back and start talking.

Ironically there is a man named Robert Eringer who shows up every now and then on a gossip podcast I listen to and he was talking openly about the possibility of exactly what Owen said.
He's a very interesting man. If you get a chance Google him.

Let's hope. This assassin has to go.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
I read the transcript and it is basically calling for the annihilation of Ukraine. As the tweet above points out, it calls for the destruction of all critical infrastructure. Something which, of course, Russia can do from within its borders.
But of course, the Chinese met with the Russians today and said they "understand" Russia. Sort of planting the seed for their invasion of Taiwan.
