I think they eventually will have actually captured the entire country and start their counter-insurgency operations.
at this rate they are never going to secure the whole country

at this rate they ain't even going to secure Kyiv

I don't think the Russians will get to COIN, I think they are going to lose the conventional war

Jesus. I love the Ukrainians, but I don't even know what that would mean for the world.

I mean.. It's not terribly surprising if you think about it. Imagine trying to just roll into Toronto like that. Shit. Imagine trying to roll on Montreal in less than a few days. It would be savagery pretty fast.

I don't think you can really do shit like that anymore.

You need a population of people that either don't give a shit that you are doing it or want you there. If everybody hates you and likes their government.. I mean.. you're going to have a tough time.

Russia’s going to need to pull an Afghanistan soon.

I think one exit strategy for them is to control the entire northern coastline of the sea. Maybe they could grab Moldova too.

Weird how the NATO / Russia border is shaping up to also be the old Great Schism border.

the prelude to this happened in the South Caucasus last summer

the 1980's Russian equipped Armenians got mauled

by 21st century Turkish-Israeli tech equipped Azerbaijan

That’s the question on everybody’s mind.
Uncharted waters indeed.

If you ask the Biden handlers, Russia just implodes at some point.

I think this is about them going into semi-martial law this week but I can’t find a clear explanation.

Either way, it’s stupid enough to be intentional.
