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

Thanks for hijacking a thread guys - but being "massively popular" is not what a POTUS should be judged on
Imma guess that MUCH of the reason for abandoned stuff isn't all due to just "freaking out and running away", but rather all the disruption to Russian logistics - tanks & artillery are worthless when they run out of shells or bullets or fuel.
And when your command cannot tell you when new ammo and fuel is on the way, you abandon your worthless baggage and move in the direction away from the people who DO have ammunition, fuel and operational tanks.
I read that there may be another brigade ready to be activated that may attack between the two other fronts, from somewhere north of Mariupol. Could just be a rumor or a feint though.
Thanks for displaying your complete lack of knowledge of anything remotely related to the subject.
Wondering if this only counts "tanks destroyed", because there seem to be WAY MORE left behind the past several days.
Hanging around a "bridge" during the Ukraine war be like standing next to a flagpole during a lightning storm...
US "junior varsity" weapons >> Russian "A-team varsity" weapons...
Hell, that's probably the US 7th-8th grader weapons.
Joe Biden = "Super-genius"???
The Ukrainians attacked an airbase in Russia. Why havent they nuked yet dumfuk?
I think this question was posed several pages ago, but do we assist with detention of POWs? Ship them to Poland or Germany for safekeeping to free up Ukrainians to fight and not be prison guards?
These people sure seem to prefer the right to self determination. An entire generation of Ukrainians will know the price of freedom.
One other general comment I would make on the POWs is that thank goodness Ukraine is dealing with unmotivated Russians and not jihadis willing to suicide bomb would-be captors...
His ability to activate our state department (a state department that had been thoroughly gutted and depleted by the previous administration I might add) and swiftly enact US-Euro relationships, strategy, and coordination of response to Russias illegal and criminal invasion of a sovereign nation may go down the most impressive action of his entire administration. It really has been incredibly impressive.
If for nothing else, the free world owes Joe Biden this debt of gratitude.
Either that, or he has the ability and willingness to attract and retain extremely competent secretaries and commanders/chiefs of staff, and to let them do their jobs with a coherent mission in our national interest.
Agreed. Either way, he is the head honcho. This is why I voted for Biden and not the manchild. Competent leadership.
Agreed. Now back to Ukrainians destroying Russian invaders.
Maybe he picks the spot farthest away, like Lviv, as a demonstration of what could come.
It’s not quite like the world ends when a nuke is popped. US and USSR nuked themselves many times.
I think there is zero chance of that.
Plenty of space in western Ukraine to detain POWs.
I have little doubt that nuking Lviv triggers Article 5. Poland is right there.Maybe he picks the spot farthest away, like Lviv, as a demonstration of what could come.

Even the real Nazis didn't f*ck with Habsburg cities.
