Russia is that neighbour who makes a complete mess in their own backyard, and inconveniences everyone. We'd just like them to fuck off.

Putler is maintaining the facade. Cracks are opening everywhere, but overall it's still holding together. Secrecy and fog of war are helping him. When Russia finally collapses, we'll be able to see how bad it really was for them. And it's bad. Really bad.

Shit-heap regimes always manage to hang on longer than expected...often years longer. But when they finally go they go fast.

Look at Russian history. When the czarust regine collapsed, it went in days. The Bolshevik revolution happened in a few days. Communism collapsed in days. When it goes, it goes.

We need to help them reach their conclusion.

I think we merely have to leave them to their own devices. They'll take care of themselves better than we ever could. Just don't let them run to us. Contain them in their Russian world they seem to love so much.

Russia is currently sacrificing more men monthly then they can recruit and for the first time lost more men a day then newborn male babies a day.

Pokrovsk is like invading East Anglia. Little cover, ploughed fields and the weather will make things incredibly difficult.

I guess this time the opposite of the Sun-tzu quote, "Don't let your enemy choose the battlefield", will work if you put it that way, fields in all directions, west to Pavlohrad or east to Avdiivka. Pokrovsk got its name from Pokrov = "veil of protection" from the Mother of God (Mary) gonna need it.

Very true!

I keep saying that even "if" Russia was able to defeat Ukraine, how the fuck are they going to keep it? Who is going to occupy it? Defeating is just the first step in a war bent on colonialism. You have to keep it. Russia doesn't have the people to occupy it.

They won’t
