You may get a coup, Vlad, but it may not be the one you want.

Apparently Putin didn’t or couldn’t buy off the Ukrainian politicians and military with secret bank accounts and villas in Cyprus.

Its fog of war until the next week imo. Can’t tell what to believe until boots have either marched through Kyiv or bogged down.

This weekend is the deadline for Putin to prove his military is capable of easily conquering Ukraine.

Sad thing is his sacrifice could have been totally avoided.

These safeguards last-ditch measures could have been installed days prior.

The Russians had their arses kicked by the Mujahadeen. The Ukrainians are much better equipped and greater in number than the Mujahadeen.

The Russians will capture and/or execute Volodymyr Zelensky. That’ll end the invasion.

I’d like to believe this. But, it just doesn’t make sense. Why would Putin panic? He’s got the Germans playing hide and seek, Biteme is off to La La Land, and he has a massive military he doesn’t give a brown turd about ready to seize a few trillion dollars in natural resources.

Putin had his soldiers sleeping in tents or makeshift quarters in the winter for weeks and eating field rations before giving the invasion order

Gotta be a lot of COVID-19 among his troops, obviously not going to be fatal for young people but with weakened immune systems could be that many are fatigued and miserably sick

I saw on Russian social media people saying Putin dedicated a special ceremony for Russian soldiers killed in the operation

Having fighters is one thing; having the logistical train to support them is quite another.

Combat arms win battles; the logisticians win wars. If Ukraine can cut off food, ammo, medical supplies, etc., that bodes well for the Ukrainian military.

Apparently Putin isn’t much on history. Der Dumbkoff Hitler did the same thing in 1941. His strategist Marcks wanted a (primarily) 2 pronged Barbarossa approach to converge in a double envelopment on Moscow. This would have drawn in The unprepared legions of Red Army raw/poorly equipped reserves and destroyed them. Instead Hitler used his middle school education and experience in WW1 as a Corporal messenger and over-rode College educated and Prussian military educated Marcks. Der Fuherer made it a 3 pronged attack then switched the objectives from Moscow to Leningrad back to Moscow to Kiev and finally back to Moscow. By then the roads were resembling chocolate pudding due to Rasputia rains.

“The Russian Army’s reach exceeded its grasp. Rather than creating a single hammer blow, the Russians elected for an overly complex attack along what appears to be four axes of advance. Unfortunately, none of the four axes are mutually supporting. ”

Don’t you believe it. Putin isn’t desperate. He’s trying to wake the sheep up just like Trump is trying to do here. The Ukraine has been hijacked by the NWO just like the US.
