When the Americans went into Iraq in 2004, they had 300,000 troops and it took them 3 weeks to get Baghdad and they leveled the whole country.
Russia is not using anywhere close to that many troops and they have to worry about civilians.

Let these idiots lit something of weakness and losses. The result counts. No hypershown weapons with 3min to Moscow!
No more weakness, nowhere in the world. Stop NATO terrorist or answer follows immediately. US help help with drones?
Shoot them off! Drones are not victims and are not for propaganda! Says it was our airspace!
Flies Iranian drones and staff! Use it to find and kill the enemy in Ukraine faster and kill!

Unlike you, the Russian military who actually have some skin in the game have not underestimated the 1000's of sociopathic nazis, western funded mercenaries and chechen terrorists that infests the country right now.

They aren't controlling that border. They can bomb them when they touch Ukrainian land.
They can also threaten to nuk warsaw for being part of the conflict abd involving Nato.

Inaccurate map Khakrov and Sumy aren't under Russian control, Nor is Chenihiv

Question I have of that map is even though Belarus was used to send Russian troops, why not have sent them at the far left of Belarus border to reach Kamin or Kovel and than send their forces to quickly block off Poland, Hungary and Romania from anymore transfer of equipment?

- rebels and Russians claim that there were 150,000 Ukrainian forces there
- Russian MoD said that 59,300 were on the front lines
- that leaves 90,000+ in support
- apparently about a third each of this 90,000 are based around Kharkov and Mariupol, the two end anchors of this force
- those areas will be hard to take
NOTE: anyone else noticing that the English speaking bloggers reporting are all going to bed from exhaustion... or are they being shut down? News from that source is drying up.

Perhaps they need to air lift some troops to set up check points or just barricade the highways inbound. Monitor with drones. Any fuel/cargo trucks get seized further down the highway by helo troops. and taken to a holding area.
