I've seen quite a few interviews with former military bods over the past few days and the thinking is, is that Russia likes to send in the expendables first as a softener.

There is also concern that he is holding back his best for other operations.

yes & no

yes they might be using some Cat B formations in the initial push, but you wont take and hold the strategic targets unless they use their Cat A formations

If your strategic targets are things like airports then you dont piss around - you send your best

Are Russians who live say in the uk protesting ? If so despite the media ban in Russia surely tat would get through that the support is not there?

You seem desperate to play down the fact the russians are taking a bit of a beating mind.

Wait till they’re in the towns btw. They’ll have nee chance.

Ukraine has this, although it may take months/years. Arse in joplings window etc

I'm not desperate to play down anything, I'm taking a step back and not buying into the nonsense.

Were all in the same page when it comes to the end result, don't confuse that.

I agree -however the other day Russia offered one on the condition of surrender
Ukraine declined -unless there is a shift somehow can’t see it .Terrible .

not sure why you're so defensive. you mentioned in your previous post about how its hard to believe they ran out of fuel after a couple of days and I gave an example of it 🤷‍♂️

People are all to willing to buy into what they see online.

It's early days and people shouldn't be getting their hopes up based off of pro Ukrainian things online.
 
Putin doesn’t seem to have said much in last day or so
Given his threat to any other nation getting involved in the ukraine invasion I wonder if at sone point all the ammunition, military hardware etc being given by the west will be deemed ‘getting involved’ , what happens then ?
