It's becoming pretty clear that the only thing standing in the way of the Rhode Island National Guard and the ability to take over Moscow is Russia's nuclear arsenal.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Exactly….it’s kind of shocking….I’m fully convinced NATO would make relatively quick work of them if it wasn’t for the nuclear arsenal.
CNN is reporting that the Russians have total air superiority, which will probably be decisive. Clarissa Ward is in Kyiv and she doesn’t seem hopeful.
We would wash their air force.
I sent her a message on Instagram and she responded months ago about staying safe in Afghanistan.
CSB.
I’d bet these conversations are going on through back channels. And, if there’s enough sentiment and support it someone over there would make a move, but I think it would need to get worse for Russia/Putin before someone would have the balls to do it.
Sanctions and body bags. Give it time.
The video I saw the russian soldier was barely 18 and scared to death. He was told it was training and orders changed to go to war.
The problem is, the minute capture becomes imminent is when he launches his nukes. It would be nice if we could somehow block that message.
I feel like I am watching a real life and real time 300 on HROT/Twitter
"Meet the Spartans" has 2% on Rotten Tomatoes. In Russia this would be considered greatest Russian movie ever.
I wonder about their launch protocol. Ours, as we all know, is immensely complex. It involves a lot of fail safes, personnel and procedure. Is Russia's similar?
So who’ plays Themistocles? 😎. We know the Ukrainian president is Leonidas.
It’s going to take a lot of time unfortunately. This will turn into a guerilla war. The Ukrainian people don’t deserve this, but it will bleed an already vulnerable Russia.
Yes. And while Russia fights a Guerrilla war, Finland and Sweden can join NATO and Russia cannot legitimately claim they are being threatened. They will be the aggressor that caused it.
Finland has always been a thorn in Russia’s side.
Russia is going to have huge diplomatic problems going forward.
Might turn into a guerrilla war in Russia. People oppose the war there. Putin will be busy poisoning his people.
I don’t want to tell anyone how to do their jobs, but I heard a rumor that in Ireland they routinely buried car and tractor parts randomly in fields to make it more difficult to find buried weapons caches with air based metal detectors.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the latest US sanctions are not enough:
" This morning we are defending our country alone, just like yesterday, as the most powerful country in the world looked on from a distance. Russia was hit with sanctions yesterday but these are not enough to get the foreign troops off our soil. Only through solidarity and determination can this be achieved. "

Ukraine’s capital under threat as Russia presses invasion
With reports of hundreds of casualties from the warfare — including shelling that sliced through a Kyiv apartment building and pummeled bridges and schools — there also were growing signs that Vladimir Putin’s Russia may be seeking to overthrow Ukraine’s government.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of declaring and enforcing a no-fly zone, and it has to be soon. The only way that Russia can win is to do so quickly, and that would make it extremely difficult.
This is awesome. Really wish I could like this more than once.
I spent part of my summer helping a Ukrainian add onto his house in NL. Great guy, electrical engineer and bulldog tough worker. I know he has family west of Chernobyl that I'm worried about for his sake. He lost a business there due to the corruption and graft necessary to stay in business...
Ain’t no such thing as half-way Kyiv.
No-fly zone exactly where? All of Ukraine?
Do we attack Russian tanks as they roll into Kiev? It would look a bit strange flying overhead and doing nothing as Russian tanks roll into Kiev. Can we swat cruise missiles out of the air?
We need to be sure that whatever we do can really help on the ground. Perhaps a clandestine operation to continue arming the resistance is the best way to go. I would be shocked if there aren’t operations going on right now to do that.
One thing the west needs to do now is apply maximum sanctions. Get brutally tough with Germany and Italy. Hang them out to dry publicly, if necessary.
All of Ukraine except the separatist/Crimea areas. Then demand Russia immediately stop offensive, and give them 12 hours to pull out or we start bombing anything still in Ukraine.

No. If anything, bomb anything left in Ukraine. Very ballsy, but do not conduct operations in Russia. There can be no cogent Russian narrative that allows them to claim self defense.
