100% certain he misspoke.  Not pointing to deploying troops, more the hypothetical to any group of people "go to Ukraine, and this is what you'll see -- civilians resisting."  That said, not a good time to misspeak.  Every word matters, and that will be grabbed onto by the Russians to say "see, told you America was coming!"

I think we’re prepping for that now.

With Russia stating that the blasting of the west is complete and now will focus on the East - seems to me the west is no longer a “special military operation” zone. So send peace keeping and humanitarian troops in. At that point, all UA troops will head east.

I don’t think Ukraine stops until all their land is back under their control. There is no reason to (they’re kicking ass), now they’ll have backup on their western flank, and they’ll never get this opportunity again.

Russia’s Servicemen Are Starting to Have Funding Problems
March 25, 2022

After the promised payments to the servicemen of the occupation army, the russian military units have had problems with funding. As it turns out, the payment of these costs is not provided in the budget. In view of poor state of russia’s financial system through imposed sanctions, it is impossible to find additional funding in the budget.

Particularly, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, after the payment of compensation for ‘mission’ to those who took part in hostilities against Ukraine, the available limit of funds for military units in February was completely exhausted. There is no funding for any payments for March.

The situation is similar with the payment for russian mercenaries of ‘private military campaign’ for the participation in hostilities. The cases of refusal to go in the territory of Ukraine become more frequent. The reason is non-fulfillment of the terms of the concluded contracts. The militants do not receive funds for participation in hostilities, compensation for wounds and the promised ‘social guarantees’.

Yeah, sanctions aren't going away, and EU/US/etc. are making long-term plans to disengage with Russia completely in terms of o&g.  Europe doesn't want to deal with this shit again in a few years if he gets antsy about Georgia or Belarus falls apart (and Russian troops come in and slaughter more people) or even some dumbass attempt at Moldova.

It's stunning how much he overplayed his hand, but then again, he's a gambler as a lot of the analysts have been saying.  Gamble big in the past and win, and you think you can pull it off in the future.

Exactly, I was just thinking the same thing. A shitty thing to do and think about but I don't blame the pilot honestly. One's desire to live outweighs rational thought in the moment. Anyone charges at me with a pitchfork is getting a few rounds in the chest, sorry, don't bring a pitchfork to a gun fight.

Depends on how close they were. You don't have near as much time to react as you might think in most situations. I put my finger on a trigger there are no warning shots, there is no shoot to wound. It is shoot to kill plain and simple.

Probably already held territory all along the border.  Saw they are not advancing as much and digging in, preparing for a long slog.  This would be the smart move.  Dig in along the border, maintain access to the ports and Crimea, and let the UA figure out how to dislodge them.

Not going CR.  Any major western leader saying the same would be an issue.  Just worried that we are giving Russia propaganda talking points and escalating things unnecessarily.  The UKR has stalled any Russian advances, sanctions are working.  Let's stay the course and let this play out.  In these situations, words matter and I've been worried about all the talk about NFZ's casually thrown around.

It's not much more complicated than that.  Yes, he should have been more careful in using general language when every word can and will be twisted by the enemy.  But the criticism all comes back to the same tired CR crap by the same folks you expect it from.

[BabaYaga 15,299]

Can't be overstated the loss of key personnel.  This is their shot, unless the thinking is they are going to weather sanctions, somehow find the capital and resources to rebuild and modernize a broken and aging army, and go for round two?  They have to take and HOLD their gains, and be prepared to fight off attack after attack which will further degrade their already depleted forces.  The UKR is motivated.  We just need to keep feeding them and let them bleed Russia dry.  The longer this draws out, the less and less popular at home it becomes (as we saw for them in Afghanistan)
