I’ve seen some analysts make the point that sending in young, inexperienced troops to deplete the defending forces’ resources, study their responses etc before sending in the experienced veterans is a known tactic.

I hope I’m wrong, but I reckon the Ukraine President’s quite legitimate refusal to negotiate in Belarus could result in Putin doubling down and upscaling his assault.

Sadly. You may be right.

There are some videos of those NlAWs and Javelins and they are brutal. Not sure if that’s what was used here or if Ukraine hit a Russian fuel truck but their equipment has been incinerated

There are no bodies in the video just damaged equipment

Really -what’s his reasoning ?

It’s Tucker Carlson - there won’t be any.
The Americans supporting Putin are the ones who think Trump is a strong man. They like strong men. If Putin loses this fight there won’t be much support for him - losers aren’t strong in their eyesIf they can’t see Zelensky is a stronger man than Putin or Trump then I’m embarrassed for them. He’s got large portions of the world cheering on his country and hoping they can at least get a draw against Russia. Does anyone seriously believe Trump or Putin would still be in their countries in a similar situation? They’d have been gone as soon as the first air raid siren sounded.

The more “little” things like this add up, the more it makes Putin smaller and the Rest of the World bigger. It shows, small move by small move, that the global community is against him.

I’m actually taking all of my positivity and optimism from gestures like this. Turkey refusing access to the Black Sea, Swift, judo, UEFA, Anonymous all of that stuff. It’s the global community coming out and telling Putin he’s a bully and he can go and fuck himself. I don’t think he banked on this.

Oh absolutely I couldn’t agree more.
 
I said yesterday sanctions were so tough he would try and claim they were an act of war and threaten the West
