Would have been nice for Facebook to start doing this shit, I don't know, like 8 years ago....
Either he will be listened to or will catch the dead.

Key Putin ally admits Russian tactics in Ukraine failed in early days of invasion and calls for more brutal approach
The Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a Putin loyalist, said Russia was only "fiddling" in Ukraine and made a chilling call for even more brutal attacks.

My neck and eyes hurt from spending so much time on this thread lol
This is my take. I think Kharkiv is pretty well surrounded, and Kyiv is getting there, but it's been slow getting to Kyiv.
I think the Russians have, because of Ukrainian resistance, poor fighting, ability to resupply, etc, decided that they can't just take the cities by ground force. They made very little progress trying to enter by force the first couple nights they'd tried. It seems like last night, they tried different tactics, lighter incursions into the city...but its unclear what their purpose even was, although in Kyiv it might have been to try to find Yelinsky.
I think they're shifting to a bombardment strategy, I think they have decided they can't take these cities like this. I think they're going to start bombing the shit out of Kharkiv (started today) and Kyiv and grind them into submission before trying to take the city.
On the positive, I think that means a while before Kyiv in particular "falls". I don't think it's a matter of seeing if they can hold each night any more. Its going to require more time for Russia to "win", which is more time to supply Ukraine, and more time for economic sanctions to squeeze.
On the very, very negative side, its going to result in mass destruction and civilian death. An absolute disaster.
I'm not sure what happens with that...it could potentially settle in like that for a horrifying long while.
Honestly, seeing how bold Western countries have become, I'm not sure you won't see more direct military assistance and getting very, very close to the line of fighting on behalf of Ukraine. We watch protests in Russia, but there are demonstrations all over the world in their support. If Ukraine is getting annihilated for a month or two, requests for things like a no fly zone that are not being seriously considered now are going to become very potent.
Seems like a perfect time for a **** Russia.

Not that I know anything, but I would imagine that it would allow NATO forces to participate in the defense of Ukraine, but they would not be able to fight inside Russia. That's the way I would interpret it anyway. I imagine Putin would have a different perspective.
From your own link -
While many analysts credit Trump with putting pressure on allies to do more, the idea he singularly is responsible for increased spending is not accurate, they say.
So he does deserve some credit, just not all of it. I’m not a Trump fan, just believe in giving credit where it’s due. Very glad Biden is President the last few weeks. This is why I voted for him.
"Key Putin ally" and "bloodthirsty" being in the same sentence/paragraph kinda goes without saying, doesn't it?Either he will be listened to or will catch the dead.

Putin and all his allies deserve catching the dead, in the most horrible and painful ways possible.
So I was smart for ignoring him a couple of months ago...
Damn, when Switzerland, the IOC, and FIFA won’t take your money…

Good thread from someone monitoring Russian social media...
Cut the guy a break. His best friend is a pothole.
The only suspension I have ever had on there is because of something I said to her. Her people watch Twitter closely and tattle tale.
I'm concerned with what they do when they realize they dont have as much fuel as they thought and the little bombs are not having the desired impact.
Yep...I mean, given the supply issues that have been demonstrated...what are they going to do with this?
One of the on site in Russia ABC reporters said yesterday he was having trouble using his credit card and his Apple Pay wasn't working.
Do his kids attend really expensive schools? The tuition for one of Nat's kid's college is $80K.
They do really poorly in the redzone too.
I came into my office this am and this thread was up - it was on page 25. A lot has happened since Friday.
If you ignored him the same way you’ve ignored every fact about what brought us to this point, the thread would be better. You’re king of the pissy pants here.
The world needs the Russian people to revolt against the Putin regime.
Take this to another thread, Pisspants
