This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

This certainly seems like a rout and I don't believe for a minute that there is a trap being set by the Russians.
They're showing no organization, no motivation, and I think the field commanders are distancing themselves from troops to avoid being killed.
Crimea has to be the end game for Ukraine, imo.

Soon to be scrap metal at the bottom of the bay.
"Russia’s state arms procurement program had been launched in the early 2010s and expanded every five years ever since. The state was spending on the program 2 trillion rubles annually, amounting to 2/3 of the defense budget. According to the plan, by 2020, the Russian army should have been supplied with Armata tank divisions, a new strategic bomber, 600 airplanes and thousands of helicopters, and the perсentage of modern weapons in its use should have risen to 70%. However, in February, the Russian army invaded Ukraine using old equipment, paper maps, and had exhausted its stock of high-precision missiles in just a few months. The Kremlin has no choice but to turn to Iran and the DPRK to supply weapons, and to Belarus to supply military uniforms."
No country in the world is more nervous watching all of this than China.
Not only do they have many pieces of Russian military junk they also made knock off junk of the original Russian junk.

China are experts at reverse engineering.
If Putin survives his blunder, a lot of dudes are going to get shot in the back of the head. It isn't like he didn't know thievery was going on, but he'll need to scapegoat a lot of people.
By the way it looks like I was right about the video. Many replies to the tweet pointed out that the video was from
an earlier date and must have been posted to make the 11/22 crowd look bigger than actual.
According to this article, anti-Russian bots were posting as many as 50k tweets per hour.

What does that have to do with a claim that "the war is about publicity"?
Propaganda has always been a tool used in war. That doesn't mean the war is about "publicity"
I think that is where comrade’s English breaks down.

I can’t imagine the unbridled relief these people feel after the occupation was smashed. The open tears of joy are so heartwarming.
Wait-I thought they all wanted to join Russia?
It appears the Russians were lying. Eff Russia.
Yeah, clearly a false flag operation conducted by triple agent Russian civilians. The Russians really coached them up with the fake crying and all. It's a trap created by Russia and unwittingly promoted by thousands of Ukrainian bots!

Excellent - my only quibble is that they needed to focus more on the girl with a red rose tiara.
