Exactly. This is a very one-sided piece that speaks nothing of Russia’s serious challenges to financially stay in this war.
None of these issues highlighted are unique to this winter, barring the financial one, with Ukraine now dependent on EU money, as the USA has walked away.

I think we’ve finally found a category of Russian soldier to feel genuinely bad for.
The inhumanity of Russia’s war just seems never to run out of new depths to plumb.

Musk has to raise the value of Tesla from $1.4tn to $8.5tn to get the payout.
Part of me thinks they approved it because none of the Tesla shareholders think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell it’ll happen.

Not far below that drone was a family that were about to have their lives wrecked. And Russia will try again with another family tomorrow. Which is why they must be stopped.

Does that mean that anyone moving from NYC to Texas must bring a New Yorker with them as a tariff?
Does the additional person also have to bring another New Yorker? This could escalate quickly.

Strelkov’s solution seems to be to risk the whole Russian Federation for the sake of subjugating Ukraine. Because if they fail it risks the whole Russian Federation anyway.
Since he was in on the ground floor of the horror show Ukraine has had to endure, excuse me a little schadenfreude.

More likely it’s the number of Russians trapped in there. If they can’t be rescued, they’ll have to surrender eventually.
That’s a Ukrainian photo op Russia won’t know how to spin.

I think there are plenty of people who get that social media is feeding them only what it thinks they want.
But there are far too many who get all their news from social media as a complete replacement for “mainstream media”, as if that’s some monolith that universally can’t be trusted.

People seem genuinely surprised that a political leader is pointing out the problem. Which says a lot on its own.
But we’re still a very long way from political leaders doing anything to put the genie back in the bottle.

Since a film for theatre release is measured in Gigabytes, you could just throw the final product on a cheap hard drive, bring it into the US, and pay a pittance of a tariff for the cost of the drive.

Easy to say they “posed no threat” in retrospect.
The Russians wouldn’t call ahead the day they send their Migs over the border with live weapons, and load out is quite tricky to see on a fast jet at altitude.

The Kremlin has long been propped up by the oligarchs. They have been allowed to steal Russia’s wealth as long as they used their power to help maintain The Kremlin’s security.
Putin is, one by one, kicking out his own chair legs.

People might be getting their news more from independent commentators, but that doesn’t have to mean it’s at the expense of traditional outlets.

Russia won’t even admit it’s at war with Ukraine, who’ve given them ~1,100,000 casualties.
But yeah, they’re at war with NATO, who’ve suffered 0 casualties.

I know many will say this is more than they deserve.
But I hope this time next week they’re eating Ukrainian food in a POW camp and wondering why they risked their lives for Putin’s conquest.
Then I hope they take those thoughts back to the Motherland.
