You have to wonder if Putin is even receiving accurate info from the war. You wouldn’t want to be the guy admitting to Putin about slow progress and the high loss of equipment and men. I would imagine that equipment lost to abandonment is not reported because in theory it could be recovered.

It is a good question. He does not appear to have been making decisions based on good information till now.

One reason the Ukrainians are winning the information war is that Russia says there’s not really a war and that it’s really just marginal fighting with Nazi types. So they can’t blast out images of every skirmish they win because it would show that there’s a war going on.  The Ukrainians can show every fucking truck they torch.

Holy shit. Aeroflot is suspending all international flights except to Belarus from March 8. S7, the other major Russian carrier, is already not flying internationally. Leasing companies are seizing aircraft at international airports and with no new Airbus or Boeing support, insurers will not cover the planes— meaning it’s illegal to fly them abroad.

Yeah. And there have been some pretty accusatory statements leaked about this which aren't sitting well here at the moment.

And you bring up Deutschland, but there is something going on at the moment wrt to this.
 

Over the past two or three days there seems to be a slight (but significant) recalibration going on within German politics. Not a u-turn from last weekend’s announcements re NS2 and weapons by any means, but more like a recognition that the continuing rush towards more sanctions and measures against Russia might need to be a bit more thoughtful and not quite as “causally disconnected” as it has been (the "cat competition" and the Uni of Milan cancelling a course on Dostoyevsky - which was rescinded - was brought up as being particularly regarded on the news circuit). It’s almost as if the coalition leadership is waking up after a boozy night and recognizing that they need to tap the brakes a bit out of fear that public sentiment in certain corners of the establishment are starting to careen out of control. 
 

For example, one of the directors at the LMU Medical School (University of Munich Med School) - one of the best in the country - sent an email to the patient referral network saying that Russians aren’t allowed to be treated at clinics under her supervision anymore. This got major press and sparked a furious backlash, so the head of the med school had to come out and make a formal announcement apologizing and clearing things up. Scholz also went on Maybrit Illner last night, which is the biggest political talk show in Germany, and defended the position of the government in supporting Ukraine with weapons and sanctions on Russia, but explicitly said that they won’t be getting into NATO anytime soon and that NATO won’t be getting involved in Ukraine in any way. He also (diplomatically) positioned himself against Zelensky’s complaints against the West from yesterday, which is significant in the sense that it marks the first time since the invasion started where there was clear daylight between the German Govt and Zelensky.

He also said that there won’t be expenditure cuts to pay for the $100B Bundeswehr increase, which immediately caught the eye of the opposition CDU, which insisted on budget cuts as part of the deal. So now that is starting to become a topic of debate within the confines of German domestic politics.



There was also top story in Welt that essentially said, “Germany’s politics are unhealthy in the sense that Germany always tends to find itself rushing headlong into 180 degree swings in the opposite direction of established policies after critical events such as Fukushima, Syrian Refugees, and now Ukraine…this time we need keep from allowing ourselves to blindly get pulled in too far to the other direction like we did with abandoning nuclear energy and the 2015 open door refugee crisis.” Ukraine aside, this is true re German politics. The article closed with this: "Germany should not be intoxicated by its solidarity with Ukraine. Instead, it should regard this form of intervention in the war on the side of democracy against dictatorship as a normal step. And then rationally continue on the path. But with open eyes and a clear compass, and, if necessary, take the right course correction. And never again, in stubborn overconfidence, run in the wrong direction until a full stop and a turnaround again becomes necessary.”
 

They also ran some poll numbers that showed that over 70% of German people are now scared that we are going to be dragged into conflict over there and essentially are concerned the govt is blindly rushing into this whole hog. Scholz has gained a couple of points this week on the basis of being a “decisive leader”, which seems to come at the expense of Annalena, who is suffering with the focus on energy policy, but by Scholz’s actions I think he recognizes that things are about to get really, really difficult (I filled up this morning at $2.30 USD per liter, which is up from $1.52 USD per liter earlier this month)...so what's that...over $8 USD per gallon. No bueno.
 

Doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but there is a shift over the past week back to Germany’s discomfort with getting too far down this road. CDU just came out as I was writing this and said, 'yeah, we support what we have done so far, but we aren't going to become a war party." Momentum dying out of politicla self preservation.

More in reply to @SL Xpress's note that right-wing American Putin lovers might want to kill hardcore progressives...I think they might be surprised to find more than a few who share their love....It's one of those deals where the extremes meet in the middle. I think with the progressives it's some combo of residual nostalgia for the Soviet Union and hatred of American foreign policy. In this light they could see him as a Castro or Sandinista type, and that it is the Russians who are the real underdogs here.

I think that cohort grows smaller by the day but it will never go away. There are little pockets of leftists who still adore Mao and Stalin.

I really wasn’t after an explanation of the feelings of the proto-mongoloid uninformed jerkoff but this is a spot on answer to that question. I am more wondering why there is not mainstream acceptance that we are likely confronting another Hitler. 

Awesomeness in bold....However, Putin is not another Hitler. Yes, he has effectively annexed a similar nation on his borders in Belarus, and there's a good argument that like Hitler this invasion is part of a grand plan for more lebensraum, but:

A) he is not so far genocidal. Some historians argue Hitler kept pushing east in order to get his hands on as many Jews as possible -- his ethnic hatred ran deep enough for racism to trump strategy. Then there were the summary executions of all the various other untermenschen -- Poles, Slavs in general, Gypsies, gays, the handicapped, etc. 

and

B) He doesn't have the juice to be Hitler even if he wanted to. He doesn't have a somewhat powerful regional ally like Italy, who at least proved a nuisance for a couple of years. Germany or Poland are not going to cut a deal with him to carve up Ukraine, giving him time and the ability to marshal resources. There is not a fearsome rising power on the other side of the world declaring death to all his enemies and actively invading their territories. His own country is....well, let's just say the Russians have never been the industrial dynamo as an even down-on-its-heels Germany like that of the Weimar Republic. Unlike the Germans, his army has made no bold breakthrough in military strategy akin to blitzkrieg tactics. (It suddenly occurs to me that he might be having better luck getting through this mud if he'd invaded with gigantic convoys of oxen and mule teams under heavy air support. Joking I guess.....but little could be faring worse than what he's got going on out there.)

Yes, he has nukes. So do we. Advantage: aggy.

So there you have it from MaybeAPedanticAsshole....But words have meaning, and "another Hitler" is overused shorthand.

This war will not end if/when the Russians capture Kyiv and install a puppet government. Even with the advantage of overwhelming military might, it's incredibly difficult to conquer and subjugate a group of people who refuse to be conquered. See: Afghanistan (twice), Vietnam, et al.

So if the Ukrainians (and, almost as importantly, the international economic sanctions) persist, Russia will have no choice but to withdraw. It may take months. It may take years. But at some point, it will happen, most likely with Putin's death. Then the puppet government will collapse almost immediately and the Ukrainians will again have their full independence.

If their vehicles were unable to be supplied by that convoy, they become stationary target, and are gonna bail fast.

We know there are shortages of materials - every knocked-out truck at this point represents anywhere from 2-3 truckloads through even 20+ truckloads (depending on when it was knocked out) of ammo, fuel, food, etc.  We know about the convoy and the knocked-out bridge and the destroyed vehicles that are jamming it up.

So now there's a shit-ton of vehicles that have been stuck on the roads for days now, in cold weather, running their engines, radios, etc., and as mentioned earlier if you get a big convoy stuck, getting gas up to the front of it is difficult, almost impossible, when your ability to travel alongside the road the convoy is on is limited due to mud.

Lack of ammo/supplies, out of gas, battery issues - that all helps take down the air defenses of that convoy.  And it'll start taking down some of the long range artillery.  You don't need gas or batteries to fire most howitzers, but you do need it if you rely on electronic targeting gear - you don't want to hit your own folks, and even if you pull out the manuals and calculate things by hand (or have some targeting computers that are still operational) every round is now extremely precious if you aren't getting more, so you're saving it becuase it needs to 100% be used against the enemy's forces, because they maybe attacking you.

If the attack on Kyiv is truly stalled or even starting to be pushed back, and Russia can't get air defenses/air superiority going, and their ground vehicles are becoming useless.

What the fuck does Putin do?  He's not exactly rolling in cruise missiles or precision guided bombs.  His strike aircraft are vulnerable to Stingers when they get low enough to make their dumb bombs count, but if they stay out of range, their bombs will miss the targets.

What if those divisions going at Kyiv get completely wrecked?  Where does he make up that manpower and all of that equipment?

Meanwhile, the West is still pouring in lots of weapons, and other aid, more drones are coming in and coming online.

What does Putin do to try and save those forces, if things are going badly for them?

I have to think the world is closer to the use of a tactical nuclear weapon than we have been since MacArthur wanted to use one after the retreat from the Chosin Reservoir In Korea. Not saying it will be deployed, but outside of Putin’s assassination or death through natural causes, I don’t understand how this ends. How does Putin escalate to deescalate in a way he finds satisfactory?

[Nicole44 22315]

It’s safe to say on the ground Ukrainians are more than holding their own. @956 Worldwide if this turns Russia into North Korea good (my sympathies to the people of Russia though) until Putin is assassinated or someone more rational is put in charge. Television news is more doom and gloom than Twitter from people on the ground (admittedly the spirit of the people of the Ukraine is far more optimistic than the coverage.) 

there is no way Kyiv can hold is what most of y’all who are far more learned than me in this think? You don’t think Ukrainians will and can push them back? It feels like they are winning on the ground. They just need more missiles etc…anti-aircraft stuff. Belarus is being cut off slowly it sounds like. I want to be optimistic they can beat them back but I also know it’s going to be a long war/failed occupation over time.

The thing is, it doesn’t occur anywhere. The only place the conversations occur at all are within the echo chambers of either sides’ chosen method of discourse. And then it’s all one sided. 

Even reasonable conversations I’ve had on public forums are quickly reduced to shit flinging as soon as one person shows up with an agenda, either through conviction or just finding trolling of any sort grand entertainment. Not to mention all the obvious hired hands. I can’t tell you how many fruitless conversations I’ve had with people over the years who are obviously getting paid to post in support of one country or another.  Not just Russia. Israel and China in particular are terrible about it, too. And I’m a huge supporter of Israel, frankly. Not advocating for that position, but just full disclosure. 

We have to find a way to be able to talk to one another on opposite sides of an issue. Have to. I’m not saying this message board, and this thread is where we save the world. That’s ridiculous. But it would be nice if it could be done somewhere.

This plan only works if they have access to outside markets.  If the political will is strong, then that access dries up.  Of course they are hedging their bets on the greed and corruptibility of foreigners, which is likely a safe bet.
