Since the Russians cant build anything right there are lots of reports now of cruise missiles that went off course and struck civilian areas and structures.....again take all of this with a large grain of salt cause sources are well dubious....

 
Ukrainian forces trying to hold a few key spots but the reality is they cant fight a traditional war and win, they need to let Russia have some ground and then start small unit guerilla style attacks meant to slow and harass the Russians.

 
I am sure all the oligarchs that support Putin who are being sanctioned into the ground just love this......this is why sanctions will work if done brutally and by all accounts that is what is going to happen. This is why this is lose lose for Putin, even if he takes and installs a puppet regime he wont be able to keep forces there and as soon as he leaves the people will just bounce them out of power and return Ukraine right back to where it is now and demand to be part of NATO to stop this from happening again. Along with all the other nations there that want NATO membership for protection against Russia.

Hope this is not --------.....but there seems to be several different sources some from Ukrainian officials that the Ukrainians are holding in some key areas and defeating Russian attacks....



 
On top of any sanctions. I would love to see actions taken against them on the sports front. Uefa should ban any domestic clubs from participating in championship league, Europa league, and conference league. Indefinitely. FIFA should ban the Russian national teams from international competition. Indefinitely. Also should be an Indefinite ban from Olympic competition.
 
There seems to be quite a bit of talk about Ukrainian forces doing better than expected in several areas and they have actually stopped or at least blunted some of the Russian attacks and possibly even given the Russians heavy losses in those fights. Its hard to really parse out the propaganda on twitter.

They have thrown their share of punches but it’s still early.

at this stage, I would like to see...
a total ban on all imports/exports to/from Russia, no travel to/from Russia, no financial transactions/exchanges, all Russian internet connectivity blocked to domestically based/controlled networks. basically, replicate what we have in place for North Korea. and then after the Russian populace has removed Putin, we lift sanctions in exchange for war reparations and Ukranian membership in NATO.

Sanctions of any kind will do little if anything. Russians are used to sanctions. Putin attacked now because the world is weakened, mainly the United States. Not a political post just a fact. Taiwan is staring at its likely future as well. China is where you had best keep your eyes trained......
 
I’ve been out of the military equipment loop for a long time, but all I’ve seen is a pile of antiquated equipment. Is this what Russian forces are for the most part?
 
By driving Russia into an alliance with the CCP, they will survive the economic sanctions. China will prop them up, back door their oil etc. Its China we best be ready to deal with. This includes the Mitch McConnel's , Nancy Pelosi's of the world as well as the vast majority of Business's and us as consumers throughout America.
