Romans , I think , used to decimate their enemies ! They could have done a meat grinder and killed every enemy member . But they found that by letting some live and tell a tale to others , that this would achieve better results . The ISIS in Syria , were defeated and lost territory and retreated . Until the hard-core and die-hard members were encircled in the desert . At this point in time , these irreconcilable members , had to be eliminated . They would fight to the death . Similarly , I think , a retreat should be allowed for the Orcs . They have by now learnt their lesson , or most should have ! Let them retreat to rear areas , let them rebel and go awol . Let them turn into rebels and fight the Orcs ! Well it is worth a try , as an empirical experiment ? Weak bridges can be left for them to cross .

"You sound retarded. You're supposed to update your priors before making assumptions.

Namely what part is the SMO where Putin is actually putting his foot down and enforcing his redlines don't you understand?

Putin the doormat was true prior to February 2022. Now, not so much. If you can't accept that its not our problem."

Buddy if you want to ignore the past that's fine, The fact is no matter what you wanna say, how you wanna act, how you wanna bitch and moan. In regards to the "SMO" Putin's redlines have been crossed many times over by NATO countries.

I don't need to debate this with you its PURE FACT now if you want to be "retarded" and act like it never happened sure be my guest, but that doesn't change the past and the facts.

The point of my post was so simple a grade school child could understand it, when you let people cross your redlines over and over, its not illogical for them to think they can get away with it again and get more brazen.

This is basic human nature and no his redlines where crossed in 2023 and later in 2022. But hey keep burying your head in the sand and sing "lalalalala"

These people are just fine starting WW3 without even realizing they are doing so.

And this is what scares me most.
Today NATO armies, principally all of them, are manned with yes, sir generation.
Only to hear a difference that represents an ex-chief of our general staff who graduated in Moscow versus his actual equivalent is a shock.
We are talking two different classes of officers, no matter that the first one is well in his 70's.

Again You make a lot of assumptions and TRY so HARD to sell it as Facts.

Just because someone got away with their first murder doesn't guarantee they can get away with it the second or third.

Also, Russia is already Killing "Unofficial" NATzO personnel in Ukraine, there will be no difference when they are tagged as "Official" NATzO personnel, they will still return home in cold body bags

Ukraine's Surprisingly Weak Defense Helps Russia's Offensive - The New York Times

The publication notes that the Russian Armed Forces continue to achieve rapid successes outside of Avdievka, which is partly explained by the depletion of Ukrainian ammunition and the reduction of Western assistance.

But there is another reason for the Russian advance in this area: Ukraine's weak defenses, as well as the lack of proper fortifications that could help slow down Russian tanks and protect main roads and important terrain.

And therefore, in just a week, the Russian Armed Forces took three villages west of Avdeevka and are contesting at least one more.

Ukrainian monitoring resources confirm the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Novomikhailovka.

Residents of Avdeevka tell their story: how Ukrainian soldiers mistreated them, how happy they were to finally be liberated by Russians, and what they would do to Zelensky if they had a chance.

Russkie are kicking their arses for so long, so hard, and in so many places, that they had to figure out an entirely imagined "killing Wagners in Syria" case to scratch their backs
The number of killed mercs, advisers, and operators of advanced NATO standard equipment is being measured in thousands.

The new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine plans to dismiss brigade commanders.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Alexander Syrsky , announced personnel purges, accusing some brigade commanders of incompetence. He wrote about this in his telegram channel, mentioning that he was conducting an inspection on the eastern front.

Syrsky noted that in three days he understood why some brigades manage to hold back attacks and hold positions, while others, with similar composition and weapons, do not. He believes that this depends on the brigade commander, his level of training and ability to make informed decisions.

“In some cases, when the commander does not control the situation, and his actions and commands directly create a threat to the life and health of his subordinates, I am forced to make personnel decisions,” wrote the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On February 29, Syrsky also announced this problem. He reported on the difficult situation in the Avdeevka and Zaporozhye directions and noted that the commanders had identified miscalculations in assessing the situation.

I'm more surprised Ukraine still has jets able to fly.

Not really a surprise.... the Ukrainians are Russians of course... some of the aircraft shaped objects on the ground that the Russians hit could easily have been made of plywood...

Plus they keep things hidden under wraps till they are ready to use them and if they land again they will go straight back into cover, and over their borders they have countries they can send parts to to reassemble into something that will fly.

11:19 watch this. What is this? I think I see some kind of light flashing on the back. What weapon is this? Strange. It doesn't seem to move like a regular drone and it almost seems faster than the usual drone.

Looked to me to be a suicide drone that was flying along and then dove onto the target. To slow to be Krasnopol and wrong trajectory to be Krasnopol which is a 152mm laser homing missile fired from artillery.

It does not need to be very big because the target is thin skinned artillery full of ammo so a 1-3kg HEAT warhead would easily defeat the armour and start a fire that could not be stopped.

they received Mig-29s form all over former Warsaw pact , Urine itself had many MiG/Su airplanes - and now the whole NATO keeps repairing whatever is yet to repair So it looks something will fly from time to time, unfortunately.

Much of their MiG fleet was probably in a terrible state so lots of work in Eastern Europe was likely needed to get most of them into a flyable condition.

Granted it's a very big gamble to play but its not like there isn't a foundation of support for the fake they will try to call a bluff

The west is in panic mode and are convincing themselves that when Russia defeats Ukraine they will come for the HATO countries who supplied Kiev with weapons and ammo and enabled their evil. I would say it is a guilty conscience at play.

So there is logic to the fact and it makes sense considering the past why they think they will get away with it.

There is logic to the fact that even nuclear level western sanctions that were supposed to crush the Russian economy and get Putin overthrown have massively backfired and Russia and Putin are in a better place now than they were two years ago and therefore that Putin is a smart man that the west has repeatedly underestimated over and over again to their cost.

You going to bet he will fold if France wants to drop some special forces into Odessa as a red line the Russians can't cross?

I would put money on the attack being rather definitive and that those HATO special forces getting a mauling they have never experienced before... all for the Ego of microNapoleon. Or perhaps is his nickname going to be Moron?

Russia may ‘track & target’ SCALP, Storm Shadow deliveries to Ukraine – UK media

The UK and Germany fear that Russian intelligence will now be able “to track and locate, potentially targeting,” deliveries of SCALP and Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine, The Times has reported.

Germany’s NATO allies are worried that aid to the Kiev regime may have been compromised by the intercepted Bundeswehr war talks.

After analyzing the conversation (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/17592) involving four senior German military officers that was released by Russia, the publication voiced alarm over the revealed “operational and targeting details” pertaining to the deployment of British Storm Shadow missiles sent to Kiev.

Another matter that has left the publication rattled is that the leak confirmed the UK military is deployed in Ukraine. The intercepted call mentioned the use of British “people on the ground” in potentially helping Germany deploy Taurus cruise missiles in Ukraine.

Overall, the security breach, described as a “blunder,” is bound to “alarm other NATO allies,” the publication underscored.

Russia systematically monitors and documents Ukraine's use of chemical poisoning (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/16676) agents in the zone of the special military operation, the Industry and Trade Ministry has said.

Western countries are the developers and suppliers of military poisons for Kiev.

Moscow will raise the issue of Kiev's systematic use of chemicals on March 5 at a session of the OPCW executive council, the ministry said.

So the NYT is already blaming the Ukrainians for not holding their lines against glide bombs 1.5 tons in weight.

You can see the effect of cluster bombs with glide kits in videos showing forested areas being hammered and plastered in submunitions... the number of explosions pretty clearly showing most of the munitions are exploding. US artillery shells with submunitions had big gaps in the small explosion patterns... likely to be a UXO problem for later... but they didn't care about that.

This is some sort of divertive crap.

One of the "news" was that Scalp/Storm Shadows are  being delivered to 404 using civilian cars.
Audi Q7 was called by name.
There is only one issue with that.
A whole Q7 is shorter than SS by five centimeters.
I just love some of the press releases, proving the jurnos being brainless.

The case has been already well covered at a peak of "cluster shells" hysteria.
US produced 155mm cluster ammunition proved to have about 25% of dudes. As a new ones.

I don't think this time Putin can bluff really

Putin never bluffs.

are manned with yes, sir generation.

So many problematic words in that sentence. 

NATO forces plan to block off Odessa 

NATO has nearly run out of ammo, armored vehicles, artillery and AD systems.
And good luck with sending fighter jets against Russian AD systems.

Putin's nuclear warning turned out to be the harshest yet, by Gevorg Mirzayan for VZGLYAD. 03.04.2024.

In the context of the West’s strategic fork between two bad options, the Russian president is trying to convey to his former partners the idea that the option of sending troops is worse. This means that if they want to live, they will have to gradually begin to come to terms with the Russian victory in the Northern Military District.

In Vladimir Putin's message to the Federal Assembly, the foreign policy segment occupied at most 10 percent. However, 90 percent of all Western publications devoted to the message turned out to be devoted specifically to him. Or more precisely, its nuclear component - that “strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness for guaranteed use.”

Western media not only commented on this with words from the series “Russia threatens everyone with nuclear Armageddon.” Some looked deeper. “Putin has hinted at the possibility of a nuclear strike before, but the current statement was too harsh,” writes The Washington Post.

At first glance, it may seem that the Russian president did not say anything particularly harsh. From speech to speech, he reminds Western partners about Russian nuclear weapons and that (this is spelled out in our military doctrine) Moscow is ready to use them. Including in a situation where the conventional war waged against Russia threatens the security and existence of the country.

As for the tone of the current speech, it was much calmer than, for example, the address two years ago, when the Russian leader announced the beginning of the Northern Military District. “Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to consequences that you have never encountered in your history,” he said then president. In fact, this was perceived as a threat of a nuclear strike - and in the current speech there is nothing like that.

So what is its sharpness?

The point is not that Putin said it, but why Putin said it. And in what situation he said it.

In 2022, the Russian warning said “just in case.” At that time, many experts believed that the NWO would not last long, that Ukraine would show prudence, and Putin’s words were only meant to calm the craziest Western “hawks.” Those who played too much into the Cold War and believed that in order to prevent a change (obviously temporary - until the new Maidan) of the regime in Kyiv to a pro-Russian one, it was necessary to send troops to Ukraine and thereby risk a nuclear war. Then this threat worked in the short term - no one sent troops, and the West began to provide significant assistance to Kyiv only after some time.

In 2024, the context is completely different. Now Putin is appealing not to a handful of ideological radicals calling for apparently suicidal decisions for the sake of virtual victory, but to a significant part of the Western elite. The fact is that now, against the background of Russian military successes and a serious, and most importantly, irreversible weakening of the capabilities of the Kyiv regime, these elites are faced with a dilemma of two equally (in their opinion) unacceptable options.

The first is to allow Russia’s strategic victory in a long-term war (both sanctioned and indirect - through the full support of NATO countries for the Kyiv regime) over the entire collective West. At a minimum, this will mean that it will be impossible for the United States and the EU to continue to use the threat of force to push through third world countries - after all, the myth of the omnipotence of the West will be destroyed by Russian stubbornness. At the very least, Moscow’s victory will cause serious unrest in the Western ranks – especially in Europe, where the United States has broken national governments at its knees, forcing them to join anti-Russian sanctions. And, accordingly, the Russian example, coupled with the disintegration of the Western bloc, will lead to a sharp increase in the capabilities and ambitions of China, Iran and other countries - and ultimately to the collapse of the American-centric world.

The second way out is to sharply increase support for the Kyiv regime in order to prevent the above scenario. Not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively – for example, through sending Western troops to Ukraine (the idea of ​​which was recently floated by French President Emmanuel Macron).

And this scenario is fraught with serious escalation. After all, in practice it will turn out that Western troops will occupy Russian territory - which means that within the framework of the nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation, Moscow may well use nuclear weapons.

In any other case, this “may well” would have led to plans to send troops being abandoned. But for a significant part of the Western elite, the real and unconditional losses from defeat in the war against Russia may outweigh the theoretical risks that will arise in the event of the deployment of troops.

And this is very dangerous - the recklessness of the West is quite capable of leading to nuclear war. That is why Vladimir Putin has now conveyed to the Western elites the idea that there are no “maybe”s. There is only “guaranteed to apply”.

So, against the backdrop of the Western dilemma, his statement really seemed harsh. In the context of the West’s strategic fork between two bad options, the Russian president is trying to convey to his former “partners” the idea that the option of sending troops is worse. This means that if they want to live, they will have to gradually begin to come to terms with the Russian victory in the Northern Military District. And adapt to its consequences.

Medvedev going full TWK mode

Nope, he just presents the optimal from the Russkie perspective turnout.
Absorbing such a big chunk of land would suffocate Poland for decades, and sucked most of the resources dry.
Hungarian and Romanian gains are cosmetic, making just a smiling face.

On the other hand, posing in front of this kind of map could have been called idiocy, if not the fact that the western-sponsored "Russian opposition" is making same shit all time long. Last conference they held is some Baltic shithole if I remember, they were parading a map with Russia partitioned into five or six pieces.
This kind of shit, is being prosecuted by any normal country in the world.

Poland would never accept land from Russia.

Neither would Western Ukrainians accept being a part of Poland

Next they gonna say-

"How RuZzia made Ukranian men fail to satisfy their women"
