They lose 200,000 soldiers a year even where they can pre-soften the battlefield. Russia literally does not know how to fight now! Not to mention the pressure it puts on Putin internally. There is clearly resistance internally. Or we would have seen a 3rd mobilization! The embarrassment has seen Mongolia stand up & opt out of pipeline deals it probably never wanted. They just never had leverage to say no. The finally crumbling ruble is destroying the wealth of his circle of oligarch's. Oligarch's who are likely circling Putin, many who likely chickened out with Prigozhin last year, more than Budanov. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think a lot of this was just a matter of time; however, Ukraine invading Russia has quickened things in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Optimist Prime Posted August 24 Popular Post Share Posted August 24 All right! Ribs added spoiler use to the mobile menu, you should see a little eyeball when you go to make a post now, for use when posting images or video that is not safe for work or kids. In this thread that would be the gore or as my wife calls it "war porn" from when she was working with families of vets with PTSD. We vets tend to become desensitized to the graphic content over time, (likely that extends to those parsing the war in real time), and accidentally expose our loved ones to the imagery in thinking it is "nothing". Whereas a "normal" person, say a 20 year old grocery clerk, would have a hard time seeing those images. Just to explain my concerns better. Spoiler So now we can hide the graphic content here while still sharing it with our forum community. Hope this makes sense. Not everything needs a spoiler, but "if it bleeds, it leads" is a good rule of thumb. 1 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
