I have read about their strategies in places like Syria where the first wave was really to just scare the civilians away from the cities so they could then lay waste to them without looking like war criminals. Whatever is happening it seems strange but one shouldn't measure immediate results from someone who excels at lot term strategies. That being said I think it is very clear that the resolve of the Ukrainians was vastly underestimated. Glad none of our leaders have ever done that.

People of colour struggle to escape Russian invasion of Ukraine
Ukraine rejects claims of discrimination by border guards and says it operates on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
The attrition war is coming. We need some good news soon, the sanctions are doing jack shit apart from fat headlines in Western media.
The sanctions are causing the russian public to panic and flee. I would say thats working.

Estonian cargo ship SINKS after 'hitting a MINE' off Ukraine coast
An Estonian-owned cargo ship has been sunk off the coast of Ukraine following an explosion. The Helt is believed to have hit a mine and four crew members are still missing.
Yet we are still purchasing oil from Russia during this fucking nightmare. That needs to stop!
i saw a piece yesterday that there are reasons for that. the gist of it is that they supply such a large % of oil globally that not only would it send prices skyrocketing (hello $10+/gal gas) but for the nations that would still be buying from russia, the price increases would be substantial enough it wouldn't matter that they are selling less, and might actually help them.
Turn down heating by 1C to reduce need for Russian imports, Europeans told

Well Biden did cut off drilling on federal land when he first got into office. Maybe fire those pumps up to help offset the costs, sell our oil to other countries dependent on Russia's oil until this shitstorm is over then regroup.
Those are feel good anecdotes for the media, not a massive movement. Besides, as soon they enact martial law, any chances of public unrest are diminished by an order of magnitude.
The russian banks involved in oil and gas trade are excluded from the SWIFT ban. It's all a joke.
As he should have.
Want to solve the problem? transition to non fossil fuel energy as quickly as possible, and stop exporting US produced oil and gas out of the US. That would mean $$$ losses to oil/gas companies, but fuck them.
That sounds like a sound strategy for the duration of this war.
Almost as good as the german brainless hasted transition to renewables that now make them 100% dependable on the russians.Not sure if this was posted here already, kinda karmic outcome: How cheap Chinese tires might explain Russia's 'stalled' 40-mile-long military convoy in Ukraine (yahoo.com)
False dichotomy much? Bullshit.
You guys have sources for the continuing oil sales and exclusion of oil related banks? Because that is major hypocritical lip service bullshit.
We let human beings in another country get murdered because we don't want to pay $10/gallon gas? If that is really what our western governments stand for, then after russia it's probably time to focus on some other plutocracies...

just so we're clear its not just the US.

have seen a few reports now of several tv / radio stations (seem to be non state run) being forced off the air
Or, you know, maybe look to diversify and use other sources of energy? Why exchange one disaster for another one (or two)?!
I was speaking to the issue of fuel prices, not the war. I stand by my opinion, but wrong thread.That sounds like a sound strategy for the duration of this war.
Russia should have kept to the psych wars and espionage. Putin likely peaked when putting Trump in office.
ditto
This is of course, grossly simplified, but I learned a long time ago, that if you really want a strong America, want to support the troops, if you actually care about the direction of this country and all that other stuff the jingoistic cult of the GOP has co-opted, one of the best things you can do is "go green". Get this country off the oil tit, and you solve a lot of the foreign policy "issues" of my lifetime.

EU bars 7 Russian banks from SWIFT, but spares those in energy
The European Union said on Wednesday it was excluding seven Russian banks from the SWIFT messaging system, but stopped short of including those handling energy payments, in the latest sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Also, look up some Eu politicians who are still lobbying for Putin on behalf of the inflow of petrorubles to their pockets. Some were mentioned in this thread already.

It seems that his ground strike at specific targets is failing, so he has shifted to air strikes at communications and civilian targets.
Agreed, but it’s just a cliche, throwaway meme, intended to counter simplistic bullshit with more simplistic bullshit. That’s all.
maybe if we had single payer health care it would be more relevant!
