[@corklike7146]

when talking about the vehicles that are getting stuck in the mud you missed a key point. Ukraine opened the kiev resevoir at the start of the invasion and flooded all of the land for miles around the city, also, they destroyed their own roads and rail lines. they have made a few very good decisions very quickly that have stopped the russians from driving their vehicles through ukraine or being able to resupply them. they then ambushed all of the supply trucks that came to fix the problem

[@tritonlandscaping1505]

Roads and rails can be rebuilt very very quickly.

[@f1b0nacc1sequence7]

@@tritonlandscaping1505 Rebuilt sufficiently for 1-2 ton civilian vehicles perhaps (if you have the equipment in place to do so, and this is more than a bit of a problem since moving construction equipment through a road jammed up with military trucks, tanks, ifvs, etc. is no small feat, and takes time in any case), but rebuilt sufficiently for 10-40 ton military vehicles (especially the tracked variety, which specialize in tearing up roads) is another matter entirely. Yes, it can be done, but it takes a very, very long time (in battle terms, days or even weeks in extreme cases) and that is when the weather is good and the other side isn't taking active steps (like flooding the area, for instance, or putting snipers in place to shoot at the road crews) to slow things down or stop them outright. Rails are even harder to rebuild, and setting up switches and fixing booby-trapped segments of rail is even more difficult. The terrain that is being moved through doesn't allow for easy off-road travel for wheeled vehicles (like trucks, the Pantsir AA war-wagons, BTR-class troop carriers, etc.), and tracked vehicles sink into the mud rather easily. This was a huge problem for the Germans, whose tanks were typically 2/3 to 1/2 the weight of the modern Russian ones. Add to this the aforementioned issues with traffic jams, road damage from tracked vehicles (there is a reason militaries use tank carriers whenever possible in civilian areas), and the general chaos of moving a large military force over roads where the locals are doing everything that they can to make things difficult for you (just taking down or switching signs, for instance) and even armies with a good reputation for keeping order tend to have a tough time maintaining march discipline. The Russian Army has NEVER been particularly good at such things, and if you look at their TO&E, you don't see a ton of traffic control troops the way you would in most modern western militaries. So no, you cannot rebuild roads and rails "very very quickly", and this is a major contributor to the Russian logistical problems, as well as reducing the mobility of even their well-supplied units.

As someone who has extensive knowledge about WWII, I feel obligated to tell you that your analogy at 19:30 is factually wrong. Yes, the decision to cut off oil exports to Japan (which was a joint American/British decision after Japan broke their word and occupied Vietnam, which was then a French colony, thus putting them within striking range of British and Dutch holdings in SE Asia) did lead the Japanese to conclude that war was inevitable, but the notion that they thought the U.S. would resume oil shipments after attacking the Pacific Fleet is asinine. In fact, the Japanese military's overarching strategy was to capture what is today Indonesia, which is a major oil producer, in order to negate the effects of the oil embargo. Pearl Harbor was attacked so that the fleet stationed there would be unable to sail out and interfere with Japan's southern advance, not to force America to end the oil embargo.

[@cornucopiahouse4204]

Like I mention above, KZbin content creators, like many other kind of media, make videos to create tension and more questions so that the the number of audience will continue to increase. This piece of information, when left out, paints the US and the West as a sneaky player hiding in the background, only to wait for the victims to fall into their trap before carrying out an all out war. This omission is intentional imho.

[@AC4ace]

@@cornucopiahouse4204 I don't agree. I feel that this is more a case of him lacking knowledge about the greater context behind the Pacific Theater of WWII. Heck, I'm older than him, and I remember when I first learned about WWII that the whole oil embargo was barely mentioned. I doubt that much has changed in that regard since I was in high school. As for some context regarding the Japanese oil embargo, it was a last-ditch attempt to force Japan to the negotiating table. The embargo was enacted in mid-1941, with the Western Allies focused on the fighting in Europe. They didn't want another major front in the Pacific and knew that Japan was entirely reliant on foreign oil imports for their war machine. The Allies gambled that shutting off the tap would stay Japan's hand. Instead, the Japanese decided to take the Dutch East Indies, which had all they oil they'd ever need. The Allies weren't being sneaky, they took a calculated risk that the oil embargo would prevent more war. They turned out to be wrong.

[@faramund9865]

I think people tend to forget that attacking is a lot harder than defending. You really need overwhelming power in order to attack. Simply because attacking means moving, which means exposing yourself. Defending means digging in. Co-ordinating digging in is also a lot easier as it is stationary, where as attack is mobile.

[@pretol7920]

You also need to have an actual army. Driving a bunch of tanks with no directive into another country is not a sign of "army"

[@Cauthon75]

Also, the Russians only have however many people they assembled and transported there for the war. The country being attacked has all its people right there from the beginning, they live there. So, we have heard that Russia has 200K soldiers, but Ukraine has over 40,000,000 people. They can let their regular army use the stingers and javelins etc, supported by huge numbers of civilians with small arms. If Ukraine could have 10% of their people out there to fight (not an unreasonable number, since the Swiss allege they can do 40% within the first 2 days) they could defend against attacks in 10 places and have Russia's 200K outnumbered 2:1 in each of those. When the Russians leave their convoys to steal food, they should all be captured or otherwise removed from the battle (have to watch out, I don't know what we can get away with saying here:-)

It also hasn't aged well in that he says the sanctions are 'unfair' and 'too harsh' and will lead to World War 3. Literally, he said these sanctions (which have caused such a systemic shock to the Russian economy that their ability to manufacture new weapons, which rely massively on imported tech like chips, optical devices and CNC milling machines, has basically collapsed... as has their ability to afford the war, or replace the equipment). Most of the Ukraine subject videos from this guy I've noticed have a particular pro-Russian bent, like the idiots online who for weeks (and still some) claimed the reason Russia was getting its arse kicked so bad was actually this genius strategy of sending in the shitty conscripts first as cannon fodder to wear down the Ukrainians. Not only would it be a dumb strategy, it's also demonstrably untrue (Russia attempted on the first few days to use VDV parachutist troops, who were slaughtered in the hundreds when they attempted an unsupported heliborne air assault on Hostomel airport, and another one where two entire transport planes filled with VDV elite troops were shot down by Ukrainian air defences). It's really not that mysterious, he probably has a pro-Russian sympathy because he's extremely right-wing (like Bannon and Tucker Carlson). The less likely but still possible is that he's a paid Russian shill.

ANYTHING) about Russia, it’s culture, it’s history, or President Putin. 80% of these rainbow flag-waving warhawks couldn’t even point out Ukraine on a map if it were suddenly slapped down in front of them, let alone point to the Donbass region. These are the same cretins who believed all the trashy, sleazy, russophobic, tabloid-tier Vice “News” segments over the last five years. They hate their own conservative countrymen, so of course they detest Russians. These people are so ignorant when it comes to Russia and her deep Orthodox roots that they don’t even know that Ukraine is and has been the human trafficking capital of Europe for years, along with being a hive of LITERAL, ACTUAL neo-nazi militias who have murdered over 14,000 innocent Russian-speaking/pro-Russian people over the last few years alone. But hey, what do I know? I must be a “paid Putin shill” according to these ghoulish NPCs. Or a “Kremlin agent”. Ah, or my ever favourite…”RuSsiAn BoT”. 😂😂😂 The hilarity here of course is that most of these soulless, nominalist liberal ignoramuses moaned and shrieked and howled and screeched like lunatics about alleged “nazis” and “fascists” - even going as far as calling the very president of the U.S. “LiTeRaLLy HiTLeR” and anyone and everyone that supported him - for the last few years. It’s literally been one of their main goals: stamping out “muh fascism”. Most of these people they pissed and moaned about, mind you, were decent folks from a variety of different camps on the traditionalist Right. Hardly any at all were genuine “nazis”, save for a small handful of isolated nutters that the corporate media (an apparatus they CLAIM to abhor) sensationalised and blew way out of proportion. But when the ACTUAL, LITERAL nazis show up in Ukraine (for any of those dolts reading this, if you doubt this, I suggest you google “Azov Battalion” and “Right Sector”; prepare to feel wrong) they have absolutely nothing to say. Mostly because they have absolutely zero idea about it because the media has gone through great lengths to hide or downplay that fact. I don’t care what anybody says in their defence, a very significant portion of these types of people are truly evil and wicked. I’ve seen the way many of them applauded at the misfortunes and burdens of their own countrymen these last few years.

Here is some interesting information on why the convoy bogged down. "The unit’s commander, Lt Col Yaroslav Honchar, gave an account of the ambush near the town of Ivankiv that helped stop the vast, lumbering Russian offensive in its tracks. He said the Ukrainian fighters on quad bikes were able to approach the advancing Russian column at night by riding through the forest on either side of the road leading south towards Kyiv from the direction of Chernobyl. The Ukrainian soldiers were equipped with night vision goggles, sniper rifles, remotely detonated mines, drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras and others capable of dropping small 1.5kg bombs. “This one little unit in the night destroyed two or three vehicles at the head of this convoy, and after that it was stuck. They stayed there two more nights, and [destroyed] many vehicles,” Honchar said. The Russians broke the column into smaller units to try to make headway towards the Ukrainian capital, but the same assault team was able to mount an attack on its supply depot, he claimed, crippling the Russians’ capacity to advance."

I also know the only way to fix that log jam, in a combat situation, is from the rear, I therefore assume there was a lot more going on at the rear. The important part is that this was the ENTIRE logistical support for around 5 to 7 divisions carrying 1 days supply. The vehicles are supposed to drop off their supply at a forward depot and head back for a reload/sleep and do one trip daily. Russian divisions have a very small logistic tail, there are not many extra vehicles. After about a week Russia resolved the problem by dragging vehicles from other areas/divisions (and using a different route). This impacted other offensives, while the NW Kyiv offensive was delayed due to lack of supply. The remaining vehicles and supplies are basically written off, even if not destroyed. So Ukraine probably isn't concerned with it anymore, there are far better targets, other supply columns etc.

@@TheNecropolis20 it's a foregone conclusion! the real question is can the Russian military do it in the time table and acceptable loss calculations they set or roughly!

[@dracodraco1982]

@@TheNecropolis20 Depends on what you call a win. Can he take Kiev? Probably. Can he hold Ukraine? Almost certainly not. I'd have to go digging for the RAND paper, but in a report done for the DOD, it was said that to successfully occupy an area, you need at least 20 soldiers per 1000 civilians -- and that's the floor, that's assuming minimal violent resistance. With ~44,000,000 people in Ukraine, that's a /minimum/ of 880,000 troops, /and that's assuming minimal resistance where we currently see high motivated and coordinated resistance/. Russia only has ~1,000,000 active duty military folk. He isn't sending ~7/8ths of his military to chill in Ukraine in a time of elevated tensions, both at home and abroad. Even if you called up Russian reserves, which nets you another ~2,000,000, you're still looking at needing about a third of all Russian military in Ukraine /and, I stress again, this is assuming the best possible scenario/. And Russia can't hide mounting losses indefinitely, nor can they hide from view their abuses. Their broad savings to get them through sanctions have largely been frozen, their economy is having a swift implosion, and Nord Stream 2 was set to net Russia trillions per decade is permanently lost. Putin, in this absurd act, will have done more to combat global climate change than any other political leader purely because no one wants to be reliant on Russian fuel. And while that sounds fine and dandy, it's truly not. Here's the snag. Putin has to be able to save face somehow, otherwise he's a despot who looks like he needs one of the largest militaries and six weeks to take over a McDonalds. Except there's not much to offer him. I don't see Ukraine formally handing over the breakaway regions and Crimea to Russia; and, honestly, I wouldn't want to renew the precedent that actions such as Putin's are worthy of any reward. Obviously, the US and NATO want do just as much as they can, shy of entering the fight. And with Russia's economy tanking, it makes annexing the 14th largest natural gas producer ever more attractive, especially if that's his only means of survival, both politically and personally. Russia's only shot at a victory was a sudden decapitating strike and a blitz to occupy Ukraine before resistance could be organized. Ukraine's only shot at victory was to establish an insurgency. Make it a war of attrition, make the cost in Russian lives and resources so high that Putin has to cut his losses lest he risk being bled to death over the course of a decade. Ukraine will survive, barring some rapid collapse once the Wagner Group/Russians take out Zelensky, but he's such a hero now that his status is (probably) crystallized. It won't be an assassination of a resistance leader so much as a catalyst for desperate resistance in the name of a martyr who gave his all for his people. Which means it's a war of attrition. It will be a long, drawn out conflict that leads to heavy losses over years. The destruction of cities, the murder of civilians, the burning of crops.. A drawn out war is the worst kind for all parties involved. Atrocities accumulate, cruelty grows unchecked, and desperation runs rampant. And all the suffering on all the sided will be born not by the man who lost his freaking mind, but the many millions of innocent Ukrainians and Russians who wanted no part in this madness, yet are victims of circumstance and a mad man. X.x I'm not sure how this ends. I'd bet my last dollar on Ukraine surviving. But there's going to be a lot of bodies in a lot of graves amongst burned out farm fields before Putin is forced to acknowledge he miscalculated. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's some way to defuse this and stem the harm, but I don't see it right now. x.x

Between Monte Cassino and Stalingrad, you'd think that any Russian military leader would realize that leveling buildings creates a nightmare for maneuvering for the attacker and unlimited cover for the defender. Add this to Russia's lackluster command and control along with stellar OPSEC like using Ukraine's cell phone network for communications, and the Russian death toll might be closer to the 11,000 claim than the 3,000 conservative claim currently touted by the time potentially Kyiv falls. Also, big thing about sanctions. Sanctions can go away with one decision by a nation's leader. Everything can go back to normal as soon as Putin sucks up his pride and admits he's managed to get Russia into something even worse than Afghanistan. Don't think that everything will be forgive and forget. I imagine that if the war crimes tribunal has anything to say, Putin will be a prisoner within his own borders as he'll be arrested for crimes against peace and humanity the instant he travels abroad. There will likely be a large list of government and military figures that will share the wealth in this. Finland and Sweden have at least partially backed away from staunch neutrality after seeing that playing submissive to the bear only gets you mauled. Putin may well have just made new NATO neighbors on his Karelia border. We will have to see in the coming weeks and months if the Russian military can improve their performance without devolving into the tactics of the Mongols. As things stand, the West is wondering how Russia could conquer a nation two borders over when they can't even coordinate a strategic movement onto a next-door neighbor. If the intercepted cell messages ring true, Russia is utilizing the same top-down leadership style utilized by the Soviet Union and nobody moves unless ordered by the brass. We all saw how well that worked out for the Iraqi army. Given that a lot of Russian field and general grade officers have caught a rather chronic case of death, one has to wonder what kind of chaos will ensue with Russia still lacking any kind of quality junior officers or NCOs. Putin's biggest card against the west is to threaten nuclear warfare. But he could have nuked us just as effectively 10 years ago as he could today if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed and wanted to destroy the world. The west can just as easily wipe Russia out in the retaliatory strike. Thing is, I know of exactly two times that the Soviet military has refused to follow orders to initiate a nuclear launch. One was during the Cuban missile crisis where the political officer (of all people) refused to consent to launch a nuclear torpedo against American warships. The second was an officer in the 80's who refused to follow protocol and launch everything after the early warning system stated that the US had launched a handful of missiles (turns out they were cloud flashes fooling the satellites). No system, not even Russia's, allows one man to directly control the utilization of a nuclear arsenal. People in silos still have to initiate launch sequences. Submarines must still come to a proper depth to fire. Bombers must be piloted, and mobile launchers prepared. Putin does not have a gaming chair and joystick to control this directly. He could well give the order as a final middle finger to a world that is chortling at his flex, but that may be the point where the military leadership decides that he's gone far enough and send him off to meet Beria. An old Soviet philosophy is that the army was like a tiger held in place by two men who hated each other (the Politburo and the KGB). If both men held the chain, neither would be harmed. If one let go, the tiger would be free to attack and kill the man's enemy. However, once that enemy was dead, there was nobody to hold that tiger in place and it could attack the first man. The Soviet military has been an influencing factor in past shifts in power. They were key in assisting in the calm transition that occurred after Stalin's death. And while initially part of the coup, the special forces that attempted to stop the transition of the Soviet Union into a federation refused to actually storm Yeltsin's building and eventually the backers of the coup were forced to surrender. Any commander of the Russian missile forces will likely know whether a strike order is unprovoked or not and would require the discipline of a zealot to sign the death warrants of all the men, women, and children in his country. However this all plays out though, it can be assured that Putin is being haunted by the ghost of Stalin whispering "History shows that there are no invincible armies and there never have been".

Right. I'm not saying that the overwhelming bulk of what you are saying is not completely correct. Unprovoked = Total Non-sense. Absolutely Provoked! He isn't fighting Ukraine, it's all of NATO and hordes of others being paid off or otherwise threatened. Perhaps you should put your critique within that context and also include NATO's push forward when documents clearly show the absolute spirit of the agreements included NO post Warsaw Pack countries to join NATO. I expect Russia will loose. not this 'war' but in the aftermath. Reminds me of Afghanistan hysteria in USA when Russia invaded. Russia lost only they were fighting USA proxy. Then like the arogenate idiots we American's eventually show ourselves to everyone else, except ourselves, that we go and fight the same exact factions in Afghanistan decades later for which the Russian's were fighting, and we can't even win after two decades. I keep wondering exactly why American's always seem to be on the wrong side of things, and hysteria is always at the core of the logic. I remember the USA propaganda how Regan's policies beat the Soviet's in the Cold War. Until I visited Russia some years later, and it became obvious that was absolutely not the case, it was their internal corruption and destruction from within --- very much like what has been occurring in the USA for sometime now. The most powerful and destructive weapon is corruption of your own people. There is a Chinese military doctrine, I don't remember the name, but it calls for nuking all the USA's aircraft carrier fleets and major military hardware and personal deployments in one quick shot. I remember reading it just prior to Desert Storm and thought we were at high risk of them implementing it based on the USA claimed deployments and locations, easy targets. Their research, in the document, claims USA Presidents have become weaker and weaker and that if the attack stopped there USA would not strike back and all effective conventional capability would be gone for a good ten years. Soviet's had a similar, yet very different, plan for EU regarding nukes. I predict, if level heads do not gain control and back off to solve the problem, if it were me, and I was China, I'd make my move on Taiwan. The effects of the gross mismanagement of American business in regards to outsourcing manufacturing has put USA at an extreme disadvantage for many reasons. The USA military may have unit numbers, and a few working 'secret' projects to unleash but is no match for a Russian and China front, especially, if both cutoff all access to rare earth elements, and all exports. Exactly who can outlast whom? Only USA has used nukes in war, and on civilian targets. So what happens if Russia uses just one nuke on some Ukrainian or NATO airfield (on claimed air support, real or imagined)? Would we respond? If so, to what end? I do NOT hear arguments addressing whatsoever Russia's NATO concerns. Non-starter? Seriously? Why? You are trying to tell me that NATO cannot defend EU by launching ICBM's from USA, UK, or France at Russia (or Russian military targets) it were to attack NATO members? Yeah, but then it's the end of the world. Really? If you create an environment where other societies on the planet are the "enemy" just because they don't use your "system" or have different a$$holes in charge than your a$$sholes is that really worth fighting about? You can't engage in business activity and have them become so dependent on having a great life for their people from the wealth all share? When I was in Russia I was very surprised at how many people I meet who LOVED AMERICA, it was surprising, amazing and wonderful. It also surprised that where were more Russian's with classical American views of success and wanting to be like the American's than were in America. Critical Thinking. The Real Scientific Method (not Pandemic logic) is going to save us, them, and everyone. One sided arguments are a key to you are wrong.

[@wbwarren57]

Great analysis! You’re still doing the very best analysis I’ve seen of this war so far. One point you might make that I think is really important is the fact that Poland has accepted 1.5 million Ukrainians into its country in less than two weeks. This is equivalent to the United states accepting 12 million refugees (because USA is eight times larger than Poland) in less than two weeks which I’m very doubtful would ever be allowed to happen. As far as the West is concerned I think the Polish are doing the heaviest lifting outside of the war zone itself.

The Ukrainians are breaking out into small unit man portable hunter teams rapidly degrading forward Air assets and following up by creating choke points up and down the supply lines. While Russian supply lines are lengthening as forward supplies become depleted, Ukrainian supply lines are reestablishing, as late as yesterday Pineapples were appearing in the capital. Meanwhile Russian rear area security in Belarus and the autonomous regions is deteriorating. Its a race but right now the odds are swinging Blue.

In these cases the drones will have a higher survivability rate, allowing them to hit more targets before they are destroyed.

Armour requires close infantry support and coordination. It also requires the TC to unbutton the tank to see.

According to British intelligence, Ukrainian forces have succeeded in recapturing towns and defensive positions from invading Russian forces up to 35 kilometers (22 miles) east of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. A report from the British Defense Ministry on Friday said Ukrainian troops were also likely to continue pushing back Russian forces on the northwestern axis from Kyiv toward the Hostomel Airfield, some 26 kilometers from the capital. It was captured by Russian forces on February 25 at the start of Moscow's invasion. Russian forces in the south of Ukraine were still seeking to circumvent the city of Mykolaiv as they try to move in on Odesa, with fierce Ukrainian resistance and supply issues impeding their progress, according to the report. A number of Russian military units have withdrawn behind the Russian border after suffering the loss of more than half their personnel, the Ukrainian general staff has said. According to Oleksiy Arestovych, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy, the front lines between Ukrainian and Russian troops have become "practically frozen." The general staff said Russian troops were continuing to blockade the large cities of Kharkiv and Sumy and also seemed to be preparing for a new offensive in Izyum in the Kharkiv region. The information cannot be independently verified. The number of people in Germany who are in favor of Ukraine joining the EU has risen by 16% since 2018, a YouGov survey has shown. Forty-six percent of those asked would now like to see Ukraine in the bloc. The survey also showed a clear reduction in the number of people opposed to the country's EU membership, with just 30% against compared with 47% in 2018. Other countries are showing similar trends, with 42% of people in France in favor of Ukraine's EU accession (2018: 22%), 60% in Spain and 45% in Italy. The percentage of those who are undecided remains fairly high in all the countries included in the survey at 24-29%. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged that his country be quickly accepted into the bloc amid Russia's invasion and has signed a formal application. But several EU countries, including Germany, have spoken out against fast-tracking Ukraine's bid for membership.

Imagine a drone operated flying Stinger, Javelin, or Gustav missile system, the Ukrainians and their allies could attach a bunch of drones to the handheld rocket systems which would give those rockets increased capabilities such as 5 to 150 + mile range with added fuel tanks, cell phone GPS control, or network relay drones which create a wireless network however long, I assume depends on how many drones are available, it could be 50 or 5000 mile long Network but the flying rocket systems would now be able to Traverse the network thus giving them an extended range, it wouldn't take much drones to turn the Rockets into flying weapon systems, maybe 4 to 8 drones or a propeller system made out of 10 to 30 propellers could Propel 10 to 50 lb for many miles, the javelin is 50 LB the stinger missile is 20 or so, even with the drone's original limited range oh, you're talkin about 200 to 2000 yards, that's a major advantage to be able to pop up in the air and travel at 50 to 300 mph towards a target, even only if the Limited range available is 200 to 2000 yards for an average drone, but when you take into account GPS and a wireless network, even one boosted antenna it's a wrap, a stealthy wrap.

In the decades leading up to Japan bombing Pearl Harbor it had already fought wars to conquer Sakhalin, Korea, some ex-German colonies and much of China. Even before the first bombs were dropped over Hawaii Japan had already committed countless war crimes and had gotten away with them.

It's been over 35 years since I have been part of a military logistics operation. But it's very clear to me that everyone is missing the point of this poor planning context... Maybe the Russian General's on the ground have decided that they want to deliberately perform badly. The resulting pressure on the Putin regime could lead to him being toppled. This has happened in history many times. But more importantly let's not forget Russian history, the Russo-Japanese war of 1905, military defeat due to over confidence and way too long/over extended supply chain issues... almost saw the regime change as a result of people turning to revolution that almost toppled the Czar!

It also hasn't aged well in that he says the sanctions are 'unfair' and 'too harsh' and will lead to World War 3. Literally, he said these sanctions (which have caused such a systemic shock to the Russian economy that their ability to manufacture new weapons, which rely massively on imported tech like chips, optical devices and CNC milling machines, has basically collapsed... as has their ability to afford the war, or replace the equipment). Most of the Ukraine subject videos from this guy I've noticed have a particular pro-Russian bent, like the idiots online who for weeks (and still some) claimed the reason Russia was getting its arse kicked so bad was actually this genius strategy of sending in the shitty conscripts first as cannon fodder to wear down the Ukrainians. Not only would it be a dumb strategy, it's also demonstrably untrue (Russia attempted on the first few days to use VDV parachutist troops, who were slaughtered in the hundreds when they attempted an unsupported heliborne air assault on Hostomel airport, and another one where two entire transport planes filled with VDV elite troops were shot down by Ukrainian air defences). It's really not that mysterious, he probably has a pro-Russian sympathy because he's extremely right-wing (like Bannon and Tucker Carlson). The less likely but still possible is that he's a paid Russian shill.

At this stage of the conflict there is no great purpose in taking over control of the the major cities. The positioning of that convoy has tied up large amounts of the Ukrainian military for minimal cost while the forces in the south and east of the country have encircled and trapped the Ukraine forces there. Remember also that the Ukraine people are considered to actually be mostly ethnic Russians so the Russians will not want needless casualties.

The Russian economy in 2020 was only slightly larger than that of Australia and smaller than the combined economies of Australia and New Zealand. It currently has a significant military partly because of equipment from the Soviet era and partly by restricting the civilian economy. How big the Russian economy is now is any body's guess but certainly smaller and shrinking.. My point is that there is a hard limit on how long the Russian's can wage war, the supply of Soviet era equipment that, although huge is finite and how will the population react to a falling standard of living.

The channel - “Military Aviation History” just released a full analysis of the idea of a no-fly zone. Of course, it says the obvious stuff about World War III, but it also points out that NATO would be operating at a disadvantage against Russia in the skies over Ukraine. The nearest NATO airbases are further away from the conflict area than Russia’s are for one thing. For another, Russian aircraft would be operating within formidable Russian ground-based anti-aircraft bubbles which NATO would not be able to immediately match. So far, the USA has only operated no-fly zones where it has total air supremacy. And it seems very unlikely that NATO would have that in the sky over Ukraine. Even if we undertook the time-consuming and expensive process of creating additional air bases in Poland, Hungary and Romania. Better to just keep sending in lots of anti-air assets to the Ukrainian army.
