Remember these days for we are privileged to see them.  This marks the end of the Western globalist unipolar moment, and these MFers can smell it in the air.

He isn't. But he does seem to have backed himself into a bit of a corner.

Well that's what happens when someone is on the throne for too long, like somebody already said.

Dunno what's going to happen now. Russia ruined its own moral authority by invading, regardless of how 'politely' its troops behave.

No one sees Russian troops as polite apart Russians, they already reporting about rapes and looting and it's all over Western Media.

Moral authority doesn't matter and the narrative is already set.

I don't see an exit from this at all, there's no bunny in the hat. Nuclear posturing, be it if it's deterrent forces is not a sign of strength from where I look at it.

I know people will claim they are moving and taking a lot of ground but they are losing a lot of soldiers and armor. They tried to take Kiev with paratroopers and failed. Now it’s going to be a long and painful war. I expect this to go on for at least a month if ukraine digs in and they don’t negotiate a deal of some kind.

That's the problem with you americans. You always speak for others. Just **** off in your country. Take your dollars, soldiers, missiles and most importabtly all your puppets.

So you are saying soldiers drove in to heart of Kharkov and left their equipment to get shot at?

Clearly. They send small units which have no chance to take a city. It's mostly some propaganda to use then heavy forces.

I'm from the west, and I watch western newspapers or television and the internet, I've never seen or read this yet...

Russian troops in Borodyanka, west of Kiev.

Seems like history is repeating itself

On 8 November 1943 Borodianka was liberated by the Soviet regiments of 75th Guards Rifle Division from the occupation of Nazi Germany.

Russia will face increasing regime change attempts from outside. They already started with Byelors and that woman popping up again. Trying to get people to streets in Minsk.

Dunno what's going to happen now. Russia ruined its own moral authority by invading, regardless of how 'politely' its troops behave. And in front of its own people first and foremost. If a demand can be made to Ukrainian troops to stop defending their 'regime' and lay down arms, then surely that can be made towards our troops too.
Everyone supports Russia acting in defense. But I doubt most Russians support the campaign against the Ukraine at the moment.

I would say over 200 by now, but it's hard to tell

Totaled VDV convoy on outskirts of Kiev, and ambushed Tigr and light vehicle convoy in Kharkov is what I've seen today.

In regards to the later one, 1 Russian serviceman was taken prisoner, but I didn't see any bodies of other Russian soldiers.

More than anything this actually reminds me of 1993 Chechnya. When Russian servicemen in support of pro-Russian Chechens attempted to take Grozny in a coup (this was a year before the invasion started), but failed and were captured.

Still, on the whole the advance is proceeding as planned. The set-backs are tactical.

The bigger worry is the home-front, and the media war, and in general the escalating situation. And the apparent backwards and forwards on actual war aims. No-one understands what the mission seems to actually be. Maybe it will depend on the relative success or failure of the operation as a whole.
