A single blunder from one BTG in one sector of one front can be replayed a thousand times from 10+ different cameras and released over the course of a week. This is the nature of information warfare.  

I don't think that blunders happen on such scale, mostly at company level.

This morning we are discussing Tigr thrust towards city. Ukrainians released this video just now. It's basically live feed.

Your ignorance is astounding. We, the citizens of the Federal City of Sevastopol and the Autonomous Republik of Krimea, handed both entities on a silver platter to Russia in '14. What would your brave ass have done when presented with this as Maidan Square in Kiev was still smoldering?

"Interview was on Channel 5 in Kiev, 09:00, owned by Petro Poroshenko, the main victor of Maidan and shortly thereafter the President of Ukraine. The two tactical commanders of the Maidan debacle, Oleg Tyagnibok, a sitting member of the Ukraine Parliament, aka Rada, and the leader of Svoboda Party, and Dmitro Yarosh, the leader of Right Sector, did the interview. Both Svoboda Party and Right Sector were and are avowedly Nazi parties. They have both cleaned their web sites but they were too late, 'we' got it all.

In this interview Tyagnibok said, and I quote: 'We will bring our 5,000 fighters to Krimea and teach you how to be proper Ukrainians.'

Yarosh said, and I quote: 'We will come together and make your streets run red with blood. We will put every Moskal (Russian) to the knife and swim in your blood.'"

Screw dat! You want to harm my wife and my children? Over my dead body and I have not forgotten how to use Comrade Kalashnikov's Ode to World Piece.

He knows that Russia will not win this. Even with military "victory" Russia will never be able to govern these people. They hate Russia and will start insurgency with the Western help.

By the looks of it thousands of Russians have already been killed or captured in Ukraine. And this after a four days of war. Russia cannot sustain these losses that long.

The Kremlin chessmaster's imbecilic idea of invading Ukraine while trying to avoid enemy casualties has resulted casualties for Russians themselves.

If and when Russia's military operation will not meet its objectives in Ukraine the Kremlin chessmaster has to answer some very tough question from his population. What for were all those Russian men (and kids!) slaughtered in Ukraine? Was it worth of total isolation of Russia from the Western world. Yes, you can point to Western hypocrisy and their own genocidal wars. But Russia is not the West. Russia is not in a position to destroy countries with inpunity. Russia must act within its own limits and boundaries.

If and likely when Putin is overthrown who is going to lead Russia after? Navalny? Unless Putin has him assassinated in prison before he is overthrown himself.

What a little weasel sitting  and hiding in his private bunker. He looks pathetic when compared to Poroshenko and Zelensky who are giving motivational speeches and speaking to their troops.

Putin, **** you!

As expected Russia is getting truckload of sanctions

Not just big ones remaining like SWIFT but things like import of PC processors, getting kicked out of sport competitions, intercepting cargo vessels, etc...

And it won't stop there, I know because I have seen it first hand for myself 30 years ago

Next up is travel bans, tourism sanctions, consumer goods, electronic hardware and software, entertainment products (movies, TV shows, videogames), internet access, the list goes on

This will all be felt in everyday life by average voter and those who are making decisions had to have known about this and they still went through with it

This means that they either though that this would be worth it and/or is necessary or (and I shudder to think this) that they completely underestimated/ignored it

Unlike Breznev's USSR today's Russia and it's military are not ran by geriatric club, decisions go through a lot of people before they are implemented and it's crazy that this was what they settled on after they crunched the numbers

I really hope that it's not the worst case scenario (in which they completely slacked off and underestimated the ramifications) and that there is a really good reason for going full heavy metal

Because having so many people making mistake that huge simply doesn't look realistic since it's a very straightforward situation in terms of political and economic consequences

There had to be some logic behind it but what?

This is why I am so completely confused about this whole thing

except for what is in the videos (harassment) the rest is not confirmed.

With the amount of propaganda right now I'm not surprised if this will turn very dark.

However, Mr Putin “should be aware the International Criminal Court is already looking at what is happening in Ukraine and there will be serious consequences for him personally”, she said.

this is what piss me more , about russian military..

doing the same mistakes again and again , they should have close air support always with their military , i can't believe they can do close air support to a city right next to russian borders..
what a bunch of idiots. There should be attack drones 24 hours providing support to the russian
army . this video alone is enough evidence how mediocre russia military is running the entire operation.. losing jeeps is normal.. but allowing ukrainians to freely go to the outside with no fear from drones attacking them..

even azerbaijan did better in close air support.. they have all the time loitering munition drones flying
over cities ,forcing people to go in the hide.  This is so sad..  if at least a failure of russian army in ukraine helps  to remove putin from presidency , then it will be worth of it... and a new leader with balls and that is not so silly take his place.

imagine if ukraine had the same level of drones support that azerbaijan had..  israel can send hundreds of kamikazi drones and make a field day with the russian army convoys. this is embarrassing that russian army is not being supported by airspace right next to russian borders or that their trucks constantly are out of fuel..  This is clear poor management of the general staff ,in the case of out of fuel , issues.  can't be excuses for that .. if a vehicle have little fuel  and have no way to supply more ,should better return to base.
