based on what we've seen so far, i think the biggest restraining factor would be their ability to adequately arm and equip such a large force.
There are questions on what they have in usable reserves for some items like air power, tanks and precision munitions. But they have plenty of rifles and artillery to keep throwing at the problem like it was 1944, and they more they can do to destroy Ukranian infrastructure the easier it will be to hamper resupply from the West. The puzzling thing is that they keep using valuable assets to take out apartment buildings instead of bridges, railroads etc. When cruelty becomes the objective success is lost as an objective.
id' wager a not-insignificant portion of those are from 1944
*laughs again in siege of Leningrad*
i predict construction of trebuchets
1974
older than the people using them, that's for sure
They have long past the point of waging a gentleman's war.
The inferior siege weapon? I would never!
Catapults are for orcs.
I have a lot to say, nothing I want recorded.
Some people say fuck cancer. Might want to give cancer a break this time around.
Was waiting for a credible news source to publish this, so here is a credible news source quoting a not so credible news source because journalism is dead.
Report: Putin faces cancer surgery; his temporary fill in won’t ‘do anything rash’
The paper is basing its scoop on a video off the mysterious Telegram channel “General SVR” that claims the Russian leader is so sick he must designate a temporary fill-in.

I'd heard some Putin/cancer rumors too, but hadn't shared anything as it is unconfirmed.Some people say fuck cancer. Might want to give cancer a break this time around.

Also rumors of him having Parkinsons because of a shaky hand. But it is Russia and the shakes aren't exactly uncommon because vodka.
Apparently russkies have two new submarines
Special mission to rendezvous with the Moskva.
Can we please bomb them back to the stone age, yet?
I believe it is the third night in a row there have been explosions in Belgorod Russia. I bet all those Russians are really irritated getting woken up safe in their homes as nearby military complexes burn.
And how shit are their air defenses that Ukraine can hit targets behind the Russian border? However Belgorod is within the range of some of the new drone systems that have been delivered. If that is the case I hope we send more. May be smart to wipe all markings though. Better yet wall to wall cock art.

U.S. now considers Griner 'wrongfully detained'
The U.S. government now considers Brittney Griner to be wrongfully detained by the Russian government, signaling a significant shift in how officials will try to get the WNBA star home.

Russia is literally calling everyone who doesn't support them Nazis then threatens to put Russians who oppose the war into concentration camps.
It may very well be complete wishful thinking from my part, but I really don't see how the Russian state and army can avoid a complete collapse soon.
All their propaganda is based on absolutely grotesque lies, their army's moral is reportedly extremely low, they are going from failure to failure in Ukraine (Note: Except when it comes to looting, slaughtering civilians and raping little girls in front of their dead parents... We have to give it to them, Russian scums have proven to be very good at doing that).
How sustainable can this alternate reality based on such laughably ridiculous babbling really be? What percentage of the russian population needs to be completely braindead for it to go on like this for a long time?
QAnon garbage, the Big Lie and the Trump Cult in the US is already quite frightening and difficult to understand for anybody with a functional brain...but this is next level bullshit. I just hope it stops as soon as possible.
Oh man. Did you hear about that one time in Iraq? See it started in saudi arabia and involved a few american commercial planes. I know I know, "what's that got to do with Iraq" you're asking. Bear with me....

Kremlin coup rumours growing in Moscow: Disgruntled generals join FSB looking to oust Putin and end Ukraine war - City AM
Rumours are swirling in Moscow that a number of former generals and KGB officials are preparing to oust Russia’s president Vladimir Putin and plan to end the war in Ukraine, which is increasingly seen across Russia as a strategic mistake and, above all, an economic disaster. The top of Putin’s...

I'll gladly take this opportunity to wheel out Adam Curtis again. The Russians are very well versed in accepting a reality that they know perfectly well is fake and a system that is obviously failing for a lack of being able to imagine any alternative (not that we aren't pretty adept at that in the west as well):
This book is the basis for the term and a really fascinating look at the collapsing Soviet Union: https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691121178/everything-was-forever-until-it-was-no-more
Sounds a bit like western wishful thinking to me. I've read several assesments over the past days that go in the opposite direction: that there is great disdain for Putin's handling of the Ukraine invasion, but because he went in too soft with his "special operation" approach and that the generals want all out war.Fingers crossed.

I can't really imagine Putin being toppled, and even if he is, I don't think he will get replaced with someone we would consider more palatable, quite the opposite possibly.
Good point.
Highlighting the naivety surrounding a possible post-Putin Russia, author Dr Ben Noble, said: “You don’t simply get rid of Putin and then miraculously democracy emerges. No, it’s highly likely that, if Putin were to be deposed, then somebody with an even greater appetite for confrontation with the West would emerge,” said the associate professor of Russian politics at University College London.
