Everyone Seems Shocked At How Poorly Russia's Invasion Is Going, Further Humiliating Putin

[skews13]

First up, the U.K. Ministry of Defence, yesterday:



And then just a short while ago:



“It is unlikely that Russia has achieved its planned Day 1 military objectives,” followed by Russia having to find a new route to Kyiv after failing to capture a town literally on the Belarus border.

Mark Sumner has a good Ukraine update here. In an address to his people after fending off Russia’s invading hordes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threw some understated shade at Moscow: “The second most powerful army in the world” likely...

2nd greatest army in the world huh?

That seems to contradict reports of Russian land forces reaching kiev.

Apparently the Javelin missiles are working very well.

Air strikes and missles are doing well, the soviet ground forces are getting hit by the Ukrainians

Thank you.
That is good news.
We will eagerly watch tonight's news broadcasts for more such developments.
Wouldn't everybody on this venue.....and not just here......welcome a situation that clearly and unambigously gave Vladimir Putin a bloody nose?

Although, the skeptic in me says that when the road starts getting bloodier and harder for the Russians.....they'll just re-route more men and more armor to any trouble spot.

I am pessimistic that Ukraine can block the Russian army and air force for very long.

But, if they extract enough blood......that's not a bad thing.

A moral victory may serve as a useful propaganda victory.
And that could have it's own benefits.

I see a lot of 'highly likely, reportly, and unlikely'. That's not very definitive nor reason to take it seriously. Seems the Limeys are not well informed.

Keep in mind......there is a high likelihood that Russian kids play X-box ands Playstation too............and soldiering is hard...

May the Ukrainians bleed them .........

Oh, I quite agree.
We are seeing that.
And will see more.
That is kinda sorta the nature of war reporting.
The situations are fluid, dynamic, access is difficult. Not to mention dangerous.
Definitive explanations of these clashes and the results of them always take time to emerge.
And propaganda and misinformation are gonna be part of the mix.

But, as spectators... onlookers, uninvolved distant spectators, we can expect as much.
And be not too disheartened when bad news comes.
Nor too cheered when the good comes.
Nonetheless, we must stay interested and follow as best we can. Knowing the cake is baking. And we'll know in time what the results are.

I think more significant is that the Russians have requested help from Kazakhstan. And been refused.

Because we all know that Kazkhstan is the major power in the region.

wow…Waterloo moment

Yet less significant than this. The very reason Trump wanted Eurotrash to pay their fair share.

German army 'standing bare,' limited in combat readiness, top chief says

Germany’s highest-ranking military officer cast doubt on its combat readiness, claiming years of neglect have left it in a questionable state amid the ongoing Ukrainian-Russian war.

The point is obviously over your head.

 

[pknopp]

From very early on I noted that we shouldn't get involved as this was going to end poorly for Russia. At least maybe there is some comfort in noting that the U.S. isn't the only country that refuses to learn from past mistakes.

Unfortunately, the butcher Putin will eventually realize his goal: install a puppet regime and subjugate the Ukrainian people.

Oil traders are shunning Russian crude. Here's why

The West has not gone after Russian oil. But nervous traders have decided they still don't want to touch it, jolting the global energy market at a delicate moment.

Pray for peace today.......then shoot a Russian soldier.

 

[whitehall]

I'm no fan of Russia, I imagine nobody on the board is but trying to tell yourself that the invasion isn't going well is a fruitless endeavor when when the Russians are parked at the Uk. capital in two days.
