Putin is Russia

[kuronosan]

Because Russia really honoured the previous few humanitarian corridors, right?

Exactly.

[Forte]

They honored them right into Russia where they then honored them into concentration camps. A lot of honor in Russia.

Speaking of honor...

I get it, open war with Russia would be bad, but I'm struggling to think of an alternative that doesn't result in things like this. Sanctions aren't doing enough fast enough. Something's got to give.

[Tymon]

Well, the people will. If Russia's economy collapses while they're simultaneously taking massive military casualties, eventually the people will rise up. The only way out for Putin in that situation would be one where he somehow still has complete loyalty in the military and decides to genocide his own people.

This is really starting to slide into Hitler's, "Lets bomb England until they surrender" line of thinking from WW2.

the sand absorbed a lot of the blast that's why it wasn't as effective, clearly.

They were hacked.

[Andalusian girls]

far more in 1 month of fighting than the US ate in 20 years of overthrowing + occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, brutal stuff. they can't maintain the intensity of their initial operations but that's a 100,000+ a year death rate, a totally unsustainable magnitude of attrition for the Russian armed forces.

[Forte]

Yes, they have lost a lot, but no, those numbers aren't official.

They were hacked.

Also they have slowed down the ground troop advances and are now focused on shelling. While Russian soldiers dying is q good thing, Russia can keep the shelling atrocities going for a long time, and they haven't even started using the desperation fallbacks of chemical and nuclear weapons.

I am very afraid for the people of Ukraine.

Well this is worrisome. Unfortunately based from past cyberattacks and ransomware it would seem like Russia's cyberwarfare capabilities are significantly better than their laughable military. Also in the news today, Russia ends peace talks with Japan... from World War II... Apparently they have been in disagreement about ownership of an island chain NE of Japan ever since WWII and now just today Russia is like, nah we're done discussing.

The current conspiracy theory is that they are sending Biden to Poland to get him killed to install either Harris or somehow Hillary.

Don't ask for logic. There is none.

I wouldn't say their cyber warfare is... better... it is just easier to get dumb people to give access to shit. Since this started, we have been seeing Russia's activity increase about 300%. Starting two weeks ago, it was up almost 500%. Trust me when i say, if it came to a fight over the net the US would cripple Russia pretty quickly. I'm more annoyed by all the fucking meetings i've had to sit in because of all this shit.
