  • Russia, and all of the countrys that have full time military ataches in there command structure are not interested in loosing this conflict, as it represents the future of security and military actions. Accepting a pause or temporary truce is meaningless as 'violations' have become the norm, and as financial and other restrictions remain while further offensive capacity is fielded, it only creates a false sense of security for there population, so they will fight now. The attack on the gas going to China from Siberia, is exactly that, and will prove to be a very serious misscalculation.
  • One thing I find mystifying is how good russian propaganda is. To this day there are talking heads everywhere regurgitating the talking point "no point for ukrain to fight, better just surrender now and spare lives". How does this happen, is it actually as straightforward as the fsb has a budget to pay for pundits?
