US Embassy in Poland is basically telling Ukrainian refugees to show up, tell them they're students, and they'll get issued a visa.

Think Putin will go after non NATO countries that used to be in the Russian empire first. Will get more manpower and resources before trying to go in for the big win

This is the most insane set of events that defy all logic and reason. I firmly believe we are witnessing russia commit suicide as a nation and likely as an ethnicity. Only way russia survives this is with a military coup or a popular uprising against Putin. Ukraine already won this war. Glory to them.

If this is some kind of Dugin induced autistic crusade and russian troops shell or storm Kyiv, they deserve everything that happens to them for attacking the birthplace of their own civilization.

Still seeing that convoy as a honeypot - which is why it is not being attacked.

Ukraine is almost certainly getting a ton of intel from NATO, and would be aware of exactly how that convoy is being protected.

They can't afford major losses, so might as well attack something unprotected somewhere else and not take the bait.

The close coordination of western intel would explain the notable success of the drone strikes, especially in taking out russian air defense systems. The only way I can imagine the Ukrainians sending those critical drones against a SAM site is if they had damn good intel that it wasn't set up / active yet.

I'm not sure Putin is being appeased. Those weapons we are sending to Ukraine are going to make things very tough for him. The Ukrainians seem to care enough to defend their own country, and the Russians seem incompetent.

You can't tell me that there isn't more than a few Russian Oligarchs who are beyond pissed that Putin is screwing up their ability to party with hot chicks in exotic locations on their yachts.  Not to mention the havoc he has caused in their financial holdings.  This continues much longer I have to think they will make a move on him.

Russia is almost certainly still going to "win" - in the sense that the math/numbers haven't changed, and nobody in the West is willing to go to war to prevent Ukraine for losing.  They will eventually destroy the Ukraine military, and they will eventually take the cities.

But, the WAY they are winning is obviously not what they had planned, and this whole thing is blowing up in Putin's face.


I'm seeing more avenues to Russia losing / being forced to withdrawal.

Supply line collapse: Sure, the big convoy is coming through without getting attacked, but they need resupply everywhere. a couple giant slow convoys cannot satisfy their logistical needs.

Troop morale collapse: they're conservatively at 2% KIA in five days, and might have literally walked into this expecting a training mission. At what point do the Russian troops break?

Unrest at home forcing Russia's hand: stock market started crashing and was frozen, runs on banks, exchange rate plummeting, loss of trade threatening to implode their economy and ruin their already meager quality of life. How long until the protests get bigger and more aggressive?


I definitely HOPE I am wrong.

But seeing a Russian convoy sitting unmolested for days, and just getting bigger, is a very bad sign.  Seeing Ukrainian formations potentially getting encircled is a very bad sign.  Seeing Russia beginning to use cluster munitions in urban areas is a very bad sign.



If Russia uses its army as a blunt object they’ll take Kiev and probably the whole nation.

But the Ukrainians are bloodying the Russians a lot more than anyone thought they would, which is a good thing.

Which again says bait / honeypot to me.

It's a ton of critical resources that are desperately needed all across the warzone. Crawling along at a walking pace is not a viable supply delivery option, so it must be serving some other purpose.

If super slow convoy like this is Russia's only remaining logistical option, they'll lose in a matter of days. Not possible to keep up with the rate of consumption this way.

"winning"

The Russian economy is in shambles after a few days of sanctions. Even if/when they win, they've still lost. As I mentioned earlier, FSB are now questioning Russian citizens leaving Russia... not the actions of someone that is "winning" in the traditional sense of the word.

Yes, they're likely to take Kiev, but this is going to be a Pyrrhic victory.

I personally know a guy in Norway whose family still has an MP40 lying in a closet that was looted when the German occupation troops left.   Just in case the war wasn’t as over as everybody thought it was.  Illegal guns leftover from the war are very much still a thing 80 years after the fact.  I refer to it as the dirty little secret of European gun control.  

Also important to remember is that the EU will likely make Ukraine have some baseline of gun control to be a part of the EU, Schengen Zone, or European Economic Area.  They have made Switzerland change their laws several times on the latter two bases.

He has a guy on that is former Ukrainian military that is in contact with some of his friends back in Kiev etc. It's a very long video but basically Spetznaz folks were in Kiev and other cities months ahead of the invasion. They rented apts, got jobs, etc to blend in. Once the invasion kicked off they started doing all of their special operator guy stuff but were quickly discovered by Ukrainian police and military and eliminated.

I just watched a flight from Denmark and a flight from Germany land just inside western Ukraine
They flew with their transponders on the whole way... totally out of fucks to give.

I wouldn't be so quick to say "Nobody will help." because I just saw it happen/

And unfortunately without direct intervention, I don't think all of the help (weapons, materiel, supplies, volunteers, etc.) will be ENOUGH.


And then Ukraine goes to an insurgency phase.  Their people are motivated, combat-experienced, and enough arms have been distributed that Russian occupation forces won’t be able to find them all (or even most of them).  They will also have a lot of trouble patrolling the Carpathian border region and swampy/forested Polish/Ukrainian/Belarusian border region to interdict arms being brought in from Hungary, Romania, and Poland.  

Russia can “win” all they want, they can’t make 40 million people with a large and continuous supply of weapons not hate them, especially not after what they’ve done.
