I agree. I'm just trying to add news articles to what is the best HROT thread in site history.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Ukranians should start taking white sheets and carpet them over Russian soldier so they can wave white flags.
Couple other places I am reading - possibility War is over and Putin overthrown by end of the weekend. This is the rumormill in the Stock Market, it is why there was a strong bounce at the end of the day.
Vladimir Putin declares all Russian military deaths state secrets
This happened in 2015, but is a key way Putin keeps people from knowing what is happening

Lol exactly, I’m not even confident they have the ability to FIND Moldova at this point.
Sounds like a great sign. The logicians in Russia won’t figure out the why, though.
Putin: (Points at map) I WANT IT!
Russian General: Sir, no I'm sorry that's Montana.
Putin: Attack Moldontana! I want it!
I wonder if the bedsprings will work better against the switchblades-those seem to dive down on top of the tank.
This and the frozen currency reserves, please.
Not against the Switchblade 600. The 300 won’t be used against tanks, but artillery and softer vehicles.
I've wondered if all those assets can/should be used as reparations. Seems logical to me.
I would definitely already be planning a victory parade in Kiev that featured tractors pulling burned out AFVs.
I think Ukraine can, and will continue to push Russian troops out of the country. The problem I see with them "winning" is that Russia doesn't need troops to fire missiles at Ukrainian cities and continue to simply kill as many Ukranians as they desire. What, aside from military intervention in Russia or continued sanctions stops that approach?
So Russia has chosen a war of attrition. Who can sustain more death and destruction? Russia is going to continue to suffer massive casualties if they choose this route. How many mother's are going to continue to be ok with this?
Ukraine then begins to have to deal with the same issues the Russians have. It's one thing to fight a defensive war from within your own country. It's completely another to take the attack to your enemy and start an offensive war against them. Ukraine doesn't have the military to go into Russia alone.
Can NATO give Ukraine missiles that they can launch into Russia? Seems it might take something like that.
I'm sure they can. I'm also sure they won't.
Maybe there's still a bunch of Scuds lying around Iraq that Ukraine can pick up at a discount.
Yes, that seems like an escalation to me to put offensive weaponry into a non-NATO country.
2003 Iraqi Republican Guard vs. 2022 Russian forces in Ukraine, who you got?
At least the Republican Guard lost to professional soldiers. Russia is losing to farmers and volunteers.
Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.
Our army is all volunteers.
UKR has been prepping 8 years for this.
At the limit of their range and maybe Russia's anti missile defense too strong, but it looks like Ukraine has missiles with the range to barely reach Moscow if launched from border.
Grom Short-Range Ballistic Missile | Military-Today.com
The Grom is a new Ukrainian short-range ballistic missile, that is currently being developed. Sometimes it is referred as the Grom-2. The Grom is equivalent to the Russian Iskander short-range ballistic missile.
www.military-today.com
"A mockup of the the missile was revealed in 2016. The Grom is expected to have a firing range of up to 500 km. These missiles can strike important enemy targets, such as missile sites, concentration of troops and equipment, as well as command posts. In some cases this ballistic missile can be used as an alternative to precision bombing. Grom's 500 km range is sufficient to strike a number of important targets in Russia."
I do not believe that is a tenable position to hold. The numbers are against the state police if popular mood shifts. Putin does not care, that is a fact. What do the unemployed, hungry people think? The younger generation won't accept this for long, and even the older, less savvy members of the population will not blindly accept losses for long.
