A video you posted lately made an important point; russians haven't even started to attack civilian infrastructures, such as power plants and railroads
For now it's "just special operation", it's not even the real deal, yet
The weird thing is the ZSU hide in the civilians homes etc and even use them as armour.
This will escalate into a full blown war, I've read about the "peace proposal" made by the ukraine/NATO crew, it's a pure waste of ink and paper, it was obviously crafted in a way that can't be accepted by russia "Look we tried... Now russia refused!". From the point of view of any outside observer paying any attention to the content, it's just pathetic, and vile https://poal.co/s/geopolitics/574695

Someone will launch a nuclear bomb, the other side will reply, to scare the masses into a one world government.
What do you think of the Russians suddenly withdrawing and "regrouping" over the last week or so? They conceded massive amounts of territory, much of which they fought and lost men to secure in the first place. Those positions were abandoned, and a lot of gear left behind. Something's up.
Could be a lot of things. I want to think that this is a brilliant strategy by the Russians, but this is a little obvious: Russians beating the piss out of Ukies for months now, really fucking up their command structure and taking territory. Then, a sudden, poorly explained retreat en masse. This almost smells like and invitation to counterattack. And if your opponent sets something like this up, counterattacking might be the worst thing you can do. All that territory you have to retake- dotted with mines and shit. Maybe some snipers operating in certain areas, taking pot shots as the Ukies rush in to retake the lost territory.
The key to this strategy is knowing that your opponent is of choleric temper, or desperate. The Ukies really, REALLY need a "real victory" that they can wave in front of the world. Seizing upon the Russian retreat might be this "victory" they see as low-hanging fruit... only to send their men into ambush after ambush.
Again, I'm speculating. But based on the combat footage I've seen so far, the Ukies should lose this war. The only thing Ukies have going for them: those fucking drones that drop those "dart" grenades. There are like a hundred or more videos of these fucking things killing or maiming unsuspecting Russian infantry. The Russians appear to be VERY vulnerable to these- they're tiny drones, I think a lot of them are even just civilian drones that they equip with the bomb. Then they fly it waaaaay up, and stalk the Russians until they see an infantryman stationary. There's even a video of a drone killing a Russian soldier like this WHILE HE'S SQUATTING DOWN, PANTS DOWN, TAKING A SHIT. Fucking bomb went off right next to him, probably killed him.
The Russians don't seem to have come up with reliable countermeasures for these drone strikes. The drones are very small, practically silent, and fly at very high altitudes. Of course, a single round from pretty much any weapon would render the drone a useless pile of plastic.... but first, you have to spot it. Then, you have the difficult task of shooting something that's like 300 yards above you, and is lining up to drop a fucking killing device upon you.
If you want to see footage like this, as well as actual combat footage, and horrific atrocities committed (mostly by Ukies, by a long shot), I found it on the "combat" section of WatchPeopleDie. Unfortunately, the comments section read like reddit, but the content is there. There's a lot to be learned from these combat videos. I've been trying to find instances of Russians torturing captive Ukies, but I've seen maybe only one or two videos like this. I've seen dozens of videos of Ukies doing horrifying shit to captured Russians, including fucking castrating them. One of the harder videos to watch involved Ukies shooting the legs of a whole bunch of Russian conscripts as a form of torture for interrogation. The worst shit I've seen out of the Russians so far is possibly them murdering a handful of civilians by accident (that video of a couple of Ukie civies finding a car with a bunch of dead civies, and then suddenly the video ends as gunfire errupts); this is odd, as Russians tend to be quite brutal towards PoWs.
This is a truly confusing mess. What I know for certain: all of the (((people))) who despise me for being a straight White man have thrown in their lot with the Ukies. I know about what's been happening in the Donbas region for like 14 years now. Seems to me that the Russians are liberating eastern Ukraine, where they speak Russian, where they voted to separate from Ukie government. If people like Soros, the Clintons, all of Hollywood, anyone in the Biden administration support Ukraine... well, there's probably a good reason for me to not support the Ukrainian government. I support the Ukie people who have been subjected to genocide for close to two decades now. I support the Russian effort to liberate those people.
