PetermansRedemption Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 On 4/23/2022 at 10:18 AM, Coffeesforclosers said: Man, it's like Russia is going through all the stages of the Vietnam experience in fast forward. There's growing chatter that May 9th will be Russia's formal declaration of war against Ukraine instead of the big victory celebration. The much vaunted offensive in the Donbass is doing what everyone though it would so far, which is gain ground here and there and achieve very, very little. Now if Russia is going to declare war on May 9th, expect some kind of insane gesture to try and "reset" the situation. Like Russia also declaring war on Finland or Sweden, or the Baltics. Quite possibly on us, so they can have a life-or-death "struggle for survival" that's entirely of their own making, due to their own stupidity. Or, like stages of their conflict in Afghanistan. Which goes to the unrealistic expectations of Russia, the media, or both. This is quite the David Vs Goliath fight. But, this is why I always questioned those reports that Russia was expecting victory in a week, three weeks, etc. Ukraine was always going to put up a far larger fight than Afghanistan could, did they not learn from their history?

ALF Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) On NewsNation Banfield , speculation that Putin has a serious illness. Seeing cancer and throat specialists. WH won't allow sanctions against his mistress now in Switzerland who has 3 children with him and is 30 years younger. They fear that could set him off. fwiw Sanctioning Putin's rumored girlfriend Alina Kabaeva would deal a heavy blow to the Russian leader: Expert U.S. officials reportedly decided against sanctioning the 38-year-old Russian gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Kabaeva citing concerns that it was too drastic, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. "Unfortunately, she is not capable of stopping Putin from waging war on Ukraine. But, it will certainly hurt," Koffler said. "It will make her life miserable, and it will definitely, definitely [cause] some damage to his holdings, his wealth that is stashed away in all kinds of tax havens including spread among his relatives and family." Koffler said the reasoning for U.S. officials not to sanction Kabaeva – who is believed to be the mother of at least three of Putin's children – makes "no sense." https://www.foxnews.com/media/sanctioning-putins-girlfriend-alina-kabaeva-rebekah-koffler Vladimir Putin Health Speculation Intensifies After New Video Emerges https://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-russia-health-viral-video-latest-parkinsons-cancer-1700445 Russia is accused of FAKING Putin's Easter service visit by ‘using old pictures from 2021’ amid mounting questions over his health https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10750825/Russia-accused-FAKING-Putins-Easter-service-visit.html Putin appears unsteady during church service as illness rumors mount New footage of Vladimir Putin appearing unsteady, fidgeting and biting his lips during an Orthodox Easter service in Moscow on Sunday has added to suspicions that the Russian leader is seriously ill.

B-Man Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 25. “Russian forces conducted precision missile strikes against five Ukrainian railway stations in central and western Ukraine on April 25 in a likely effort to disrupt Ukrainian reinforcements to eastern Ukraine and Western aid shipments. A series of likely coordinated Russian missile strikes conducted within an hour of one another early on April 25 hit critical transportation infrastructure in Vinnytsia, Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, and Zhytomyr oblasts.[1] Russian forces seek to disrupt Ukrainian reinforcements and logistics. The Kremlin may have additionally conducted this series of strikes—an abnormal number of precision missile strikes for one day—to demonstrate Russia’s ability to hit targets in Western Ukraine and to disrupt western aid shipments after US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s surprise visit to Kyiv over the weekend. However, Russian precision strike capabilities will remain limited and unlikely to decisively affect the course of the war; open-source research organization Bellingcat reported on April 24 that Russia has likely used 70% of its total stockpile of precision missiles to date.” Much more at the link, but it sure looks like everybody is settling in for a long war. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-april-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
