Discussion on Ukraine situation 2022

[Cossie]

Unfortunate if true, could be fake or doctored, but if real it’s not totally unexpected, one despot helping another despot.

At one of the stations in the Rostov region, Chinese military equipment was spotted

Gee I wonder if anyone saw anything since it's apparently heavily guarded,

Central Clinical Hospital, From Wikipedia
" (also called "Kremlin Hospital", "Kremlyovka" and the "Kremlin Clinic") is a heavily guarded facility seven miles northwest of the Kremlin in an exclusive, wooded suburban area known as Kuntsevo. It is considered to be the best hospital in Russia.[citation needed] The hospital is guarded by the Federal Protective Service.[

I find Mick Ryan AM (retired AU army major general), Mark Hertling (US retired soldier) and Trent Telenko (US DOD civil servant) credible and well-sourced discussion on the Ukrainian conflict on Twitter.

This threadroll on Russian casualties is chilling and once again such a waste of life . And for what?

Some of the apparent intercepted phone calls are chilling, soldiers wanting to shoot themselves in the foot, shoot their commanders, gun fights over looted goods.
No supplies, no reinforcements, no rotation, surely putin is aware, but I guess he can’t back down and lose face.

Reports that they could be out of weapons by the end of the year. Old missiles malfunctioning, the list goes on.

It's not the first time reports questioned how much strength Russia has left. But it comes as the country has continued to struggle in its war with Ukraine.

The problem with all this news is that the Russian Leader may eventually do something silly rather than admit defeat

Unfortunately quite possible, especially when you see excerpts from Russia’s leading news/talk programme.

Unfortunately in War truth is the first casualty and I doubt you can trust reports based on Ukrainian Army sources. Nor indeed official US reports.

And Putin is getting something out of this war. A stronger rouble and economy with their oil and gas exports now getting higher prices. Plus the oligarchs are being cut down removing some of his opposition.

First time I have seen questions like this being asked on russian TV.
