Yes. And winter is coming. Staying in camps over the winter, they will freeze their asses.
This would be a good time for the Finnish tanks to roll into Karelia.

Putin now saying he wants the war over as quickly as possible. Given the givens that must be nuclear strike talk if ever there was.

Given that Russia never signs a peace treaty in modern times, the wars are never over.

Putin is threatening the use of nuclear weapons.
News analysts are treating it as a real thing.

Yet he cannot do this. In terms of warfare, the first step would Dresden scale regular bombing. This destroys cities snd civilians. There are no tactical nuclear weapons. Neither side has any.

They call it that, but it's very difficult to do less than Hiroshima/Nagasaki level bombing.

He's gonna nuke kyiv. A big one to make a point to the USA. Escalate big time to de-escalate. Destroy the organisational heart of Ukraine. Then drive his new conventional forces through the radiation strewn hell scape and win.

He's mad like his template. The finesse of rational logic doesn't come into what he'll do. And like the guy with the tash he's taken the controls of from his generals and killed all the smarter ones. :coffee:

The Russian conscripts are nothing but cannon fodder. They are sent to Ukraine with no or next to no training and apart from old AK47 rifles without equipment of any sort. Want help when you get shot? Bring your own tourniquet. Ask your girlfriend / wife / daughter / any woman you know to give you their tampons to plug bullet holes.

Once they are within shooting range of the Ukrainians they are deserted by their commanders and left to their own devices.

These two video clips might be set up by Ukraine using POWs, but I have not found any indication that they were.

I truly don't understand why the General Staff hasn't taken Vlad out yet. They're military men, do they not see the reality of the situation?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
