Happy to see that the early analysis provided by the West, even as early as late February, has been extremely accurate: incompetent russians incapable of effective warfare. Orcs most suited for mass murder of civilians.
My guess a month+ ago was that this would likely end with Russia keeping crimea and donbas. That is now up for debate; that is the best-case scenario for russia. Several western nations are publically clear they believe ukraine can win and winning is russia moving entirely out of ukrainian territory. This is critically important: The west has stated what it wants to see happen here and is backing up those words with massive military support.
With each week the beasts in human form struggle mightily to take ground. They are blowing through people and equipment and cannot sustain this indefinitely. As it depletes its arsenal ukraine gets more weapons, and better weapons. Russia has itself in a quagmire.
Russia's options now:
1) Withdraw
2) Hope to hell it can keep the east and south (and no I do not believe it will ever take odessa, either, nor kyiv)
3) See what happens if it uses WMD, out of sheer desperation
For those morally depraved people still rooting for these monsters, who think there is a reserve of competent military units, or russia will conscript millions let me save you the effort: The civilized world is horrified by what russia has been doing and if you think it will be allowed to repeat bucha and mariupol throughout all of ukraine you are wrong. Europe will send in its military before it allows all of ukraine to be sodomized like the orcs have done thus far in the areas they have infested.
This will go down in history as one of the greatest strategic blunders ever made by a major nation.

"Never get involved in a land war in Asia..."
It covers a little farther west than just Asia...
Putin found out why so many major armies throughout history have been chewed up and spit out in that region.
It's not because the Russians were such genius defenders, and it works if you're attacking west through it as well as east.

Democrats are totality incapable of independent thought.
I'm doubtful based on the source. Still, if it is true, I wonder if putin doesn't wake up from the operation.

This article from 2014 pretty much nailed it. It’s tricky to pull off an invasion.
Will Putin Fall Victim to One of History's Classic Blunders?
Russia's annexation of Crimea is proving costly. If Putin thought seizing Crimea would make the rest of Eastern Europe deferential to Moscow, the opposite is occurring, as anti-Russian/pro-NATO sentiment surges throughout the region.

Beyond a Slush Fund, Biden $33 Billion Ukraine Package Includes $8.8 Billion to Establish State Dept Global Disinformation Bureau, and International Civil Asset Forfeiture
This is why Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff were in Kyiv yesterday…
The details of the Joe Biden $33 billion supplemental budget allocation have been released. I would strongly urge everyone to read the proposal which now heads to congress for passage {SEE pdf here}.
Apparently, the State Dept is going to set up an international version of DHS “disinformation governance board.” But wait, it gets worse…The last segment is a massive change in the U.S. government power to seize Russian private property and assets, sell them to whoever Biden chooses, and then give the proceeds of the sales to U.S. politicians, friends, family members, or perhaps Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Germany just issued a warning to its population to prepare for a major conflict. Russia nods at Poseidon 100 megaton nuke, farmers struggle and less food will be grown.
Germany is telling their citizens to gather and store ten or more days worth of food and water.

I thought the biggest nuke the Soviets ever had was 50 megaton? Have the Russians gone bigger? The Soviets scared themselves much less everyone else with the 50 megaton.
Tucker Carlson's opening segment was on the congressional visit to Ukraine. Pelosi and Schiff both made public statements that US policy is to help Ukraine win the war and ultimately lead to regime change in Russia. If their goal is to get us involved in a shooting war with Russia they are doing a great job . There is a recklessness that is almost unimaginable on their part.
I'm no fan of Putin and I hope he doesn't win. But I will be on the opposite side of anything pelosi and Schiff want.

Currently Russia has three variants of torpedoes ranging between 20 and 150 kilotons and more than ten types of RDS bombs. Out of them, the RDS-220 Tsar bomb is the most powerful. It was tested at 50 megatons but Russia has a 100-megaton design.

They replaced the uranium tamper with lead to reduce the yield because there was no place on earth to safely test a 100 Megaton bomb.
Nobody doubts that it would have reached the full 100Mt if it were built as originally designed.
We also never tested our largest bombs at full yield. The largest weaponized US bomb was the Mk 41 25Mt bomb. We built 500 of them, but never tested them at full yield.
Nobody uses mega bombs anymore though.
They were meant to make up for deficiencies in accuracy. If you're lobbing a 25 Mt bomb over there you can miss by a mile and still destroy the target.
Now that accuracy is measured in inches it's unnecessary. Now we have "dial a yield" weapons like the B61 that have selectable yield.
You can choose the yield for one of those in the field to be anywhere between 0.3 and 400 kilotons.
The US military doesn't believe there is any target that it would care to destroy that needs more than 400 Kt to get the job done.
So any bragging by Putin about a 100Mt bomb is just that. Might as well brag about issuing your troops new rifles in .950JDJ. Nobody doubts you have the capability of doing it, but they also realize it's a dumb ass idea.

Russia keeps acting goofier. Now it's asserting ties between Israel and neo-nazism: Russia doubles down on foreign minister's Hitler remarks, accuses Israel of supporting "neo-Nazis" in Ukraine
On May 12 Finland will be announcing official intent to join NATO, which will add another 1000+ km of NATO border to Russia when concluded.
This is another lesson in the dangers of dictatorships. This is all to pander to one man's ego. Russia is killing itself to service his pride.
WW2 eastern front was so savage on an unimaginable scales it's hard for people to comprehend how bad it was unless they've studied it, and even then it is too abstract to fully appreciate.
It wasn't uncommon to have 50,000 people killed in a day.
Just saw that as well.
Consider it logically, the only war Germany is getting into....... is ww3.
So what exactly is the government warning their citizens of without expressely saying so to avoid panic?

No difference between Hitler, Mao and Stalin.
Tell me what the extremes are and I shall show you fanatism!

It was a comment by Lavrov that sparked this exchange. While there were a few wealthy German Jews that helped Hitler's rise to power, there is no evidence that Hitler had Jews in his ancestry. That comes from anti-Semitic rumor, which was often floated in Russia. Lavrov should have stuck to a fact, not fiction.
Only in the minds of indoctrinated idiots.

He may not be a Torah thumping true believer, but he is obviously no Nazi, and no self respecting Nazi would vote for him.
