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

A lasting image of this war will be tractors towing armor. Such a bizarre sight!
I was thinking the mobile crematoriums were for the Russian dead but this makes more sense. After regime change they were going to cremate the evidence. F$ck you Russia.
Where does someone purchase 45,000 body bags?
Some poor Russian bastard has to make a decision and give Putin some bad news or just lie and tell him the plan is still working.
So I have been thinking-I wonder if this war has a silver lining in it for changing the metrics on war due to microweapons making countries able to defend much larger invading countries.
But drones for spying, drones for laser marking, drones for fighting, hand held tank killers and hand held plane killers and of course cyber weapons are going to make invasions much more costly in the future. And they are only going to get better and better. Result might just be we all settle the **** down and live with our current world borders.

Also, I stumbled upon this thread...it's worth digging deep sometimes
Just a note, this is what urban warfare looks like up close. Lots of stuff destroyed, lots of innocent people dead. Fight in towns/cities, it can't be avoided.
You're forgetting about China, and how that authoritarian regime is using widespread cameras, facial recognition and drones to track and intimidate their own people to remain in power.
And it's the authoritarian regimes that create the major world conflicts, not the open democracies where people have rights and rulers have limits on their tenure.
Especially after seeing how they’ve handled their own dead…
Trump admin ordered 100k in April of 2020 for COVID.
But this story came to mind for me immediately
In a one-story factory on a quiet side street in the blue-collar Port Richmond neighborhood here, workers who make bed sheets for babies are busy filling a new rush order: 16,099 body bags for soldiers who may die in Operation Desert Shield.
``I hope nobody has to use these,' said Edward Lustick, an Aldan Rubber Co. employee, as he inspected the olive-color, rubber-coated material that will be sewn into the government's standard seven-foot, 10-inch bags that store human remains.``We can confirm that we have ordered human-remains pouches,' said Lt. Col. Stuart Wagner, a Pentagon spokesman. ``But we can't say how many or where they are going.'
Pentagon sources, however, said the rush order for the 16,099 body bags was placed because they may be needed in Operation Desert Shield.
Three of the companies said they were told the bags were for Operation Desert Shield. One company official said when he inquired about the unusual number, a Defense Department supply officer said the order was based on a computer model of how many deaths might result if a shooting war breaks out in the Persian Gulf.
They were using the interstate instead of flying? Weird.
More results coming in of the Russian genocide of the Ukrainian people & culture.
Believe it or not, war crimes.

Those were their tactics in WWII and considering it doesn’t appear they’ve changed much since then, wouldn’t surprise me!
Saudi Arabia has been trying to not learn this lesson for 7 years now in Yemen.
When someone else is going to supply the little guy (Vietnam, Yemen, Ukraine) even guerilla war is going to make occupation untenable.
Precisely manufactured explosively formed penetrators from Iran were probably the biggest killer for US forces in Iraq.
I'm sure Pakistan kept the Taliban from wanting too badly as well.
Russian distraction tactic. Wrong thread comrade.

Public masturbation is a serious misdemeanor Jimmy.
I hope so. I would add that if you really want to have an overwhelming force, whether it be one country or a coalition, you need tightly coordinated air and ground with strong communications. And that is really hard to do so hopefully countries will think twice before trying.
Pooty has raised the maximum age for military service to 65.
After European nations imported the most gas from Russian sources yesterday in months, scrambling to stock up on supplies as Russian President Vladimir Putin's deadline to either pay for gas in rubles (or be cut off) came and went, Russian gas giant Gazprom has officially halted all deliveries to Europe via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, a critical artery for European energy supplies.
Instead of flowing toward Germany and the EU, gas supplies on Friday and Saturday started flowing in the opposite direction, according to Gascade, the network operator.
In recent months, the EU has already boosted imports of LNG from the US...
...and despite President Biden's promise to bolster to exports to the EU (although he stipulated that not all of this additional capacity would come from the US), researchers at Goldman Sachs have already shown that US exports of LNG are already at capacity.
Another problem for pipeline-dependent Europe: the continent presently doesn't have the infrastructure to allow it to rapidly ramp up imports of LNG, which must be carefully processed and "regassified" before it can be distributed to utilities and other distributors of energy.
A map below illustrates the level of dependence that various European economies have on Russia.
But it's not just the Germans who must now make due without Russian gas supplies. British energy major Shell is being cut off from Russian supplies in response to the UK's economic sanctions on Russia, said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

So far, the UK is the only country to have imposed sanctions on Russia's Gazprombank, through which payments for Russian natural gas are made. The measure effectively denies Britain the ability to pay for the commodity, and has forced Gazprom to walk away from the sales and trading arm. In accordance with Putin's decree that Russian gas be paid for in rubles, Gazprom has set up foreign-currency accounts for customers where their currencies can be converted into rubles on the Moscow exchange.
Get the hell out of here, seriously?
Have they started population wide conscription or just doing that with some of the untouchables?
