Interresting photo of the gentlemen in Putin's war room. So many white men, no diversity, no women, no transvestites, queers, drag gueens, no gypsis, or other ppl of color. Must be a weak war cabinet for sure. /S
Another observation worth considering is that this is one mighty nasty trap for the nazi cheer squad. Perhaps Russia indeed saw it coming? They would never admit to this but... it is a war for absolute victory is it not?
Reports have it that the Russians observed the recent USAI motorised incursion into Yemen via one of their many satellites and tipped off the Yemenis via Iran who then absolutely destroyed it. see:
I assume this level of observation is small cheese compared to the enormous massing of machinery in Sumy prior to the assault let alone the substantial friendly humint within Ukraine.
Yes, it does appear Russia "opened the door" for the Ukies by preparing for its own offensive move through the corridor chosen by the Ukies: mines, obstacles and such were removed which were reported by Russian sources. My immediate reaction was the Ukie force entered into a preset fire bag. But even if that was the case, Russia will never admit that since it endangered the locals. Maybe 20 years hence someone will write about it. Even the German press sees great danger for the Ukies in the attack as it opens another frontal zone Russia will certainly exploit that the Ukies can't possibly defend properly.
As for ISR capabilities, it's much easier to see things in the desert than the steppe. That said, I note the Ukie vehicles used in the assault had no camo motif, just standard OD Green. Another reason Ukie forces were able to advance so far so quickly is because Russia's road net is superior and mostly asphalt paved. One Russian commentator wrote the ground traded for the number of Ukies and their gear destroyed was worth the trade as the ground is quickly being reclaimed.
One common factor for Russia and the USA seems to be the betrayal by the elite. Putin and his loyal team at least have the advantage of the Russian elite being clearly identified and maybe even manageable. The USA not so much. The 'Family' seems worthy of a serious expose. Perhaps a Wagner historian has written of this phenomena.
thanks karl... it is a 2 part article! to the first part - " a moratorium on mortgage payments " is not the same as cancelling the mortgage payments, especially with those who have had their house blown up! hopefully that is addressed properly...
as for deripaska... it is hard for me to get a clear picture on this.. asking a socio or pyshopath to be less of a socio-psyhopath is probably unrealistic.. unfortunately all societies have these types and they invariably rise to the top thru their ruthless, unethical and unmoral abilities... at best perhaps - one can contain them as i believe putin has tried to do... maybe he isn't this way, but i suspect many of the extremely wealthy and most politically connected are - no matter what country or culture they operate within... they form a very small part of the population, but they are hard to get rid of!!!
PUTIN- "Apparently, the enemy is using its Western masters to fulfill their will, and the West is at war with us through the hands of the Ukrainians. So, apparently, the enemy is trying to improve its negotiating positions in the future.
AND
And finally, one of the obvious goals of the enemy is to sow discord and discord in our society, to intimidate people, to destroy the unity and cohesion of Russian society, that is, to strike at the internal political situation. "
Any guesses when Putin will finally stop referring to the brotherly Ukrainian slavs/russians as "the enemy" and start calling the USA The Enemy - and treating the US like it is?

He has said just that in past speeches that you seem to have missed.
