I'm not going to waste time refuting all of your points. But think about this. Why would NATO need Ukraine as a launching point for ballistic missiles when it's ballistic missiles are already in range of every major city in Russia? What Russia is afraid of is NATO installing anti-ballistic missile defenses along it's borders to nullify Russia's short, medium, intermediate range and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
This is flat out lie from mainstream western media. The only accountable website actually compiling the statistics shows that Ukraine has lost 6x more armor than Russia compared with total armor inventories.
Good God are you this dense?
BS.
Ukraine operates the same tanks, so they know all about the jack-in-the-box feature.
LOL. You have no accountable news sites in Russia and are too apt to believe the propaganda printed in Pravda. You live in a fool's paradise of denial. The Russian army has proven itself to be poorly trained and equipped and the only thing working for it is it's propaganda mills and fools that believe it.
The accountable website I'm talking about verifies each kill from pictures and discussions of each picture and archives each picture as evidence for each armor kill. That's the ONLY verifiable kill site.
Yes, but you use completely bogus numbers as your denominator. You neglect to recognize that of Russia's "12,000 tanks" about 9000 of them are Soviet era scrap iron, rusting away from the bottom up in fields.

Yeah and Russia with the missiles it ALREADY has on the NATO borders can hit NATO capitals. Russia already has road-mobile short, intermediate and intercontinental ranged missiles roving around it's territory capable of hitting every NATO country. RUSSIA is the one rattling it's nuclear-tipped sabers.
In Phase II, the West's problematic is that Dvornikov was born in the Primorskye Krai and very well could be Mohe-Jurchen (Manchu). In addition, if the intel is correct, 100s of Chinese Main Battle tanks and other vehicles are now headed northwest toward the Russia/Europe borders. It is said to be traveling at full speed, with stops only for scheduled refueling and no other delays. Many Russians will now get to photograph to the internet, that equipment passing through their country. The 6 Chinese Y-20s landing at the Nikola Tesla Airport at Belgrade, Serbia, apparently unloaded QH-22s, which are comparable to Patriots.It sounds like Putin has finally appointed an overall commander in charge of the war in Ukraine.

Russia has reorganised its military command - Western official
Gordon Corera
Security correspondent, BBC News
A Western official confirmed Russia had now reorganised the command of its operations in Ukraine with the general now in charge having had extensive experience from Syria.
The forces which invaded on 24 February were organised and commanded separately from the district from which they had come.
“There was really poor coordination across those different commands,” said the official, since Russian forces had never trained to work in this way. The Southern Military District Commander is now in charge of operations to attempt to provide better co-ordination - this is reported to be General Alexander Dvornikov.
“That particular commander has a lot of experience of Russian operations in Syria. So we would expect the overall command and control to improve,” the official said.
In terms of timing, the Western official thought political imperatives might take precedence over military priorities in Russia pushing forward to get some kind of success ahead of 9 May when the country marks victory in World War II. Western officials said they were seeing the piecemeal sending of more forces towards Donbas rather than pausing to allow forces to regroup properly.
“There's a tension between the military logic of getting the force properly set for a reinvigorated Russian operation into the Donbas, potentially using more appropriate tactics and learning some of the lessons from the disastrous operations largely so far, against a political imperative to actually get on with the operation and move quickly,” said the official.
Russia is thought to have slightly fewer than 100 battalion tactical groups available for operations, once they have been reconstituted after current moves. This would be a "substantial" Russian force but the official said Russian tactics have meant that even with numerical advantages they have been held back by smaller numbers of Ukrainian units acting in a far smarter way and with surprise.
“Unless Russia is able to change its tactics, and be far more effective at using all the tools to its advantage, if it fails to do that, then it's very difficult to see how they succeed in even these limited objectives that they've reset themselves, and certainly not at the pace that I think they would hope to do," the official said."
From BBC:
The SAM system is no surprise, other than (at the time) it was expected they would be going with S-300. That purchase was announced in 2020.
The Trans-Siberian Railway is supposedly moving the Chinese tanks toward Moscow. There's no language problem, the new commander may not only be part Mohe-Jurchen, that is to saY, Manchu, he was born at one end of this railway at Ussuriysk, Primorskye Krai. Russians have already done language work in the Primorskye Krai, for example, Nikolaeva's A Grammar of Udihe.
