Anyone else get the impression that Russia's invasion has been pretty damn pathetic so far? For all their posturing as a country to be 'feared' they seem rather underwhelming in their ability.

Yes seems they have been planning it for years I reckon. Although they probably didn't factor in the weapons they were going to get off us.

but if the Ukrainians keep on fighting then any sort of occupation could become a nightmare.

Thing is, Russia has form here. Just look at what they did to Grozny back in the mid 90s. Although personally, even though Putin is as mad as the proverbial hatter, I don't think even he would dare to go that far on Kyiv or another major conurbation.

Eh it's only 2 days into this, remember the original covid thread and most said it was nothing to worry about lol Not saying we'll get WW3 but it's pretty ignorant to think this war with Ukraine is nothing

Reports of heavy casualties stopping Russian forces advancing. I bet Russia are well beyond the number of losses the US suffered in the entire Iraq war just in the last day.

Yes and I'm wondering how long it is before Russia start using their standard doctrines of indiscriminate bombardment for days to soften up targets, if Putin doesn't win this he is finished and I'm sure he would have no concern going out with a bang given how unhinged he has apparently become. I'm honestly surprised he's still been restrained in this war on Ukraine basically crippling the Russian military ability to do their job the way they are used to, even the West use bombardment for days to soften up targets in wars they start, it's not really surprising Russia hasn't done this and have instead gone for a lightning fast assault that has definitely stalled but it's worrying what will be done now given Putin will not accept a loss and humiliation

What do you expect them to do?

Missile blast everything to dust?

Send in hundreds of thousands of ground troops and shoot everyone?

The Russians want to keep Ukraine intact, they want to overthrow and change the government with absolute mimimum collateral damage.

Apparently reports coming out of Severnaya Satellite Control Centre that a Russian general has been seen leaving with the access keys for an advanced orbital EMP weapon system.

This would be a real escalation if true...

I mean I get that 99.99% of stuff in this thread is speculation and unverified and all that but for such extraordinary claims we would need to at least have some kind of a source...more than a twitter from a random guy...again because the claim is bombastically insane.

Edit: damn it I got duped.

Well, they lost there in the first war, I posted a picture of Grozny a while back. Russia only got control of Chechnya after persuading a local warlord with a big following to switch to their side.
