For several posters on HORT. You know who you are.
Couple of opinions with similar conclusions. Things going badly for Russia may not result in the end of Putin, but rather an escalation.

A turning point in Ukraine leads to a turning point in Russia: Longtime Kremlin supporters are now calling the war a ‘disaster’
Unheard of critiques of the Russian military and the war effort have followed a major retreat.

Russia gave hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign political parties to influence them.

I don’t believe any of this wishful thinking. If he does soon it will be homicide.
CNN is now up to what…April? in the great HROT Ukraine thread. Keep reading boys and girls. 😉
I disagree with the tweet. The steady and slow escalation of arms while costly for Ukraine, was necessary to avoid any major escalation between Russia and NATO member states militarily or energy wise.
The United States led from behind and Russia just took it.

Send ALL the oligarchs back to Russia.
Forcibly take them from wherever they're currently hiding.
Why on earth would it be?
Just pointing out the ’war as a continuation of policy’ is a price paid over decades by thousands.
Farmers still dig this stuff up in the Low Countries over a century later. London’s bomb squad deals with duds many times more than terrorists.
Imagine driving through Iowa fields for the rest of your life knowing there are unexploded bombs, rockets and artillery out there waiting for just enough frost and the right blade.
War is hell.
Reality has finally set in. Russian public being prepped for defeat.
Someone speaks the truth. Look how uncomfortable the rest look. A country so thoroughly dishonest and in denial is sure to deteriorate into failure.
Putin losing the economic war as well.

Russia is facing defeat in Putin’s gas war against the European Union
Vladimir Putin has declared an energy war against the European Union but there are growing signs that the Russian dictator may have overplayed his hand, writes Aura Sabadus.

After finding out how incompetent the Russian army has been over the past 6 months, it really concerns me about all those nukes they supposedly have and how secure they are. What if some of them go "missing" and wind up with some terrorist organization or rogue country?

McFaul is like Gen Hertling. When he posts something, I pay attention. He was US Ambassador to Russia and is a current professor at Stanford.
Ukraine Pulled Off a Masterstroke
Ukrainian leaders announced one counteroffensive against Russia—but had another in the works.
Originally they talked of 10,000 so I wonder if the "classes" are staggered for 5,000 each training sequence.
It also let us know we weren’t giving a bunch of equipment that was just going to be captured after defeat. Unfortunately, the reality is that Ukraine proved its worth in blood, and has done so with extreme excellence, and has proven it should receive and should continue to receive whatever is required to finish the job.
