Quote:Russian nationalist milbloggers dismissed the strikes on Ukraine as mostly symbolic and noted that the strikes come amidst Russian failures on the battlefield. Russian milbloggers heavily criticized the May 24 strikes as expensive but not militarily useful and that the Oreshnik strike against Bila Tserkva did not have a clear militarily significant target.[14]

Milbloggers further criticized the strikes as expensive and as not contributing to the Russian war effort, while Russian forces are under-resourced and unable to advance on the frontline.[15]
One milblogger argued that the Russian military command is wrong to prioritize expensive strikes given Russian forces’ lack of sufficient first-person view (FPV) drones on the frontline, which is enabling Ukraine to achieve a larger number of FPV drones and advance.[16]
Another Russian milblogger argued that Ukrainian forces are successfully striking Russian logistics targets in occupied Ukraine, and that Russian strikes on Kyiv will not be able to prevent Ukraine from continuing these strikes.[17]

At the Scene of a War-Game: How the UK Would Respond if Russia Attacked the Baltics
While Russia has dismissed claims it has plans to invade NATO, the alliance is rushing to prepare for the nightmare scenario.

The main fear on NATO's eastern edge is that with the U.S. pulling back, Russia may be more willing to risk an invasion.

OMG. Such fear- mongering.
Yanno what the "decision- making centers" of NATO states SHOULD be afraid of?
A quick Oreshnik strike.
In thanks for helping Ukraine deliberarely strike colleges and apartment buildings.

Signym, you're a lying propagandist for Russia. The world knows it is Russia who targets civilians. All you do is expose yourself when you say otherwise. I'd also point out you've been accusing others of fear mongering about the threat of Russia invading Ukraine going back a decade to when they first invaded. And you're still doing it. Too funny...Too sad...

How Ukraine Found the Cards To Win, Without Help From the U.S.

President Donald Trump has boasted about cutting off all financial support for Ukraine and tried to impose a surrender on terms many see as favorable for Russia. Yet, as we predicted two years ago**, Ukraine has proven it doesn’t need it.
Just 15 months ago, in the Oval Office, Trump shouted at Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky: “You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.”
Zelensky fired back, “I'm not playing cards. I'm very serious, Mr. President. I'm very serious... Of course we want to stop the war. But I said to you, with guarantees."

There is a connection between Russia's first nuke and Horoshima and Nagasaki, stupid.

As usual, you misrepresent.
I remember what Russian spox ACTUALLY said. What they said was: If you attack us in any way that threatens our existence, we may respond with nukes.
It's called deterrence.
Unlike USA nuclear posture, which includes first-strike.
IDK what's wrong with you, SECOND, but your brain is full of shit and has been since you were young.

Ok, let's drill down into part of the article...
Quote:
nSome question whether this [drone technology] is a sustainable advantage as Russia plays catch-up, but we are told by senior Biden and Trump Administration sources that Ukrainian drone and anti-drone defense technology are heavily reliant in part on unparalleled U.S. technology, which Russia does not have access to, such as Motorola’s Silvus* infrastructure-less solutions, which are utilized by Ukraine to operate its drones.
What Motorola says about acquiring Silvus
Quote:
A number of forward-looking statements will be made during this presentation. Forward-looking statements are any statements that are not historical facts. These
forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of Motorola Solutions, and we can give no assurance that any future results or events discussed in these
statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any
subsequent date. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the statements contained in this presentation
So, what is Silvus? It's a mesh network.
Russia already has that.
The article is all about drones.
Since Russia has the equivalent, plus artillery, guided bombs, missiles, jets, and armored vehicles, I don't see any advantage to Ukraine. Drones do save lives and allow better reconnaissance and logistics disruption, but their payload is still relatively light. And in the end, winning still requires boots on the ground, which Ukraine is running short of.

So then why is Russia losing? And why did Putin mandate the complete destruction of Kiev?

Because if it means to Russians what it says, Russia "may" have already nuked Ukraine.
