I work with a lad. I say a lad, he’s a raging heed the ball. He’s canny, but completely brainwashed. He reckons the next Covid variant is in some lab in Ukraine and the Russians have gone in to ‘get it’ 😂😂😂
working with them people is interesting, some days are funny as fuck and some days you want to smash them in the face with a cast iron pan.
So what do we think of the convoy surrounding Kyiv? Do they actually have a plan after all, or is this going to end badly for them?
It’s split up hasn’t it? Into woodland and such?

Imho Putin has told them to get off their arses and attack Kyiv or don’t bother coming home. I think the Kyiv attack will start strong but if the Ukrainians can hold the Zs off the tide will turn and Putin will be looking for a way out.

It seems that once the ground froze and they wouldn't get stuck in the mud, they dispersed into areas with tree cover to hide from drone strikes. It may not have been the original plan, but it's some sort of plan.

At least what the media is suggesting is that Russia's hitting different types of targets in different locations in the last 24 hours or so. There seems to have been some sort of strategic shift.
 
I will resort to it. Normal people are fed up with conspiracy theory nutters and patronising them is what they deserve. If you can’t readily understand which things are blatantly true, which are debatable and need research and thought, and which are blatantly lies then you also deserve patronising.
You mean dissenting voices should be silenced? Even those who are merely asking questions. When did 'our side' become such a parable of truth?

Neither ‘side’ is the parable of truth. All ‘sides’ lie at times. I am only interested in what is said, not who said it.
 
Russian forces now appear to be “reposturing” for an assault on the capital.

But how likely is it that Vladimir Putin’s army, weakened, demoralised and exhausted after two weeks of war, will be able to lay siege to the city?

To cut the city off from any reinforcements that will undoubtedly rush north if the capital is threatened will be an enormous undertaking.

Given that the city measures roughly 35km (22 miles) north to south and 25km (16 miles) east to west, Russia will need to establish a cordon of at least 90km (56 miles).

With each Russian battalion tactical group able to defend a frontage of about 1km (0.6 miles), this is a tall order.

Without calling up reserves from the homeland, this task is probably beyond the capability of the forces Russia has deployed into Ukraine.

And that’s just the outer cordon, designed to prevent reinforcements. Russia will also need to lay out an inner cordon to slowly squeeze the life out of any defenders that seek to resist.

Russia could have about 50,000-100,000 troops around Kyiv. It took 2.5 million to capture Berlin in 1945, with heavy losses.

Ukraine needs some warm weather now and some heavy rain.
 
Putin sending his rep into the UN to say they are in essence creating viruses, seems to point to what people have said about him being paranoid about covid mind. Maybe he really is losing his marbles.

Mind bit of a coincidence he’s saying this given his links with China recently and all the links they seemingly have to covid.
