Take out the crew and get a free tank

The SB 600 will take out the tank, waiting for one of these videos

Dr Kissinger said the war must not be allowed to drag on for much longer, and came close to calling on the West to bully Ukraine into accepting negotiations on terms that fall very far short of its current war aims.

"Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself," he said.

Not currently.

Ukraine is under full mobilization.

Russia is NOT under full mobilization.

Putin would have an internal/domestic problem if that occurred as it would go back on what he said and make the “operation” angle look like BS. This is a known internal issue with Russia. They would have already gone human wave, full forced mobilization if they could get away with it to get this war wrapped up. They can’t.

Russia has more citizens. Ukraine currently has more soldiers ramping up.

This is supposedly according to the Russians a Ukrainian artillery command post with radio intercept dialog and aftermath on the ground footage included.  I'm not getting actual audio when I play it, let me know if you guys do.

The horrible Russian optics on the drone makes me wonder if they can even tell what they are actually hitting.

You'll have to put closed caption on the video, but I really like this guys overviews of how military systems work.   In this video it's extensive on how the Ukrainian artillery it set up, among many other things to consider.

The Russians ONLY wanted Chechnya…. They will stop after that.
The Russians ONLY wanted Georgia…. They will stop after that.
The Russians ONLY wanted Crimea…. They will stop after that.
The Russians ONLY wanted Luhansk… They will stop after that.
The Russians ONLY wanted Kyiv Donbass… They will stop after that.

If only there were a pattern.

Agreed.

Russia is in bad material shape.  They could conscript and bus/train in several million from across the country.  But most will be fighting in the clothes they came in, with bottom barrel weapons, little food, no training.  They would be more akin to a medieval hoard on foot, scavenging like locusts. They would have to have Commissars pointing a direction and forcing forward movements.

According to Vortex, this is a record amount of Urals ever at sea.
Raw materials are stuck due to sanctions. 15% of oil is on the water even without the understanding of the end buyer."

I'm pretty sure our own loud mouth leaders have said specifically the war is about destroying the russian military, and that putin can't stay in power. So, it's not a secret.

Can you elaborate on this? Because from my limited knowledge about what is going on in russia it looks to me like the government can do what it wants and the people are going to just put up with it in the hopes the government doesn't do something even worse.

I've heard the government is threatening flaying people for using the word war. I'm kidding, I didn't hear that.

One of the russian talking heads explained that being nazi means being against russia. If you are against russia, you are a nazi.

Russia's pretty much using the Antifa definition of "Nazi."


NAZI is a Western term for National Socialist Germans in WWII.   The Soviets called them fascists.  It doesn’t mean the same thing to them.  All their WWII stuff will have Фашист or some version of it.



This is true, they are almost always called fascist there. However, the NEW definition of Nazi is a nationalist (anyone who puts their country first, except Russians of course) but reasonable Russians still don't buy that and do use the terms Nazi and fascist interchangeably....though they usually default to "fascist".

Nah, even that's too narrow of a definition.  "Nazi" just means "someone who isn't 100% down with the Woke agenda."



That's not what it means in Russia AT ALL.


That is exactly what it means here in the good old USA however....



That's nice. We're talking about Russia.

Rising fuel prices. Protests.

"Kazakhstan says Russian forces will leave the country starting January 13, following the end of protests that saw 164 people killed and 8,000 more detained."

The govt. requested russian troops be called after citizens started burning govt buildings.
