Most conservatives I've talked to are pretty strongly pro Ukraine, with the rest (a minority) not wanting to get involved in any foreign wars. The Russophilia is an internet thing, and I wouldn't describe internet Russophiles really as conservatives. There is a strong element of third world ism and anti finance capitalism floating around those people as well.

True.

This war has generated some strange bedfellows as people on both extremes of the political spectrum have come out in support of Russia. On the one hand, aspiring fascist types because of the perception of Russia as an anti-globalist, traditional white Christian state. On the other hand, tankies and other far left types who support Russia because of the perception of Russia as an "anti-imperialist" counterweight to the US and its Western allies.

They lack the logistical capability to mobilize, IMO.

Probably but its also politically damaging to fully mobilize after so much effort has been expended to paint this as anything other than a war.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Things are heating up. A large convoy of military equipment is moving along the Moscow Ring Road.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation transferred all their reserves. The order was given to act decisively. A hurricane of strikes.

Could be minor news.

Need to know more about the size and scale of this convoy.

Given Ukraine literally has HIMARS, any build up of vehicles is a tactical blunder..

By the way, I've seen that video posted by multiple Russia affiliated accounts.. seems like propaganda to try to maintain morale.

Doesn't helps that Tucker the most popular pundit right now is a Putin cocksucker.

In a statement, Moscow announced that it had decided on a "regrouping" to "achieve the goals of the military special operation", the Russian name for the war in Ukraine, writes AFP.

Next batches for ukr already delivered ....ofc a bit ago...
Looks that Czech Republic, Norway, Denmark and Poland, Lithuania and Latvia + Estonia are willing to supply...
& U.S and U.K too...

From the same small Latvia they recently get 4 transport helicopters and 6 self propelled 155 mm guns and approx xx xxx 155 mm shells...
Estonia : unspecified ammount of 155 mm and 122 mm artillery shells and shells for 120 mm mortars...
Norway: 155 mm shells etc stuff...

They lack the capability, after the miserable failed attempt in Kyiv we realized that the Russian logistical capabilities are rotten to the core, the Russians can barely maintain the men they have supplied, they won't be able to suddenly, train, fed and equip millions of drafted conscripts.

Russia's problem isn’t logistics, as evidenced by the thousands of shells they can fire a day. Its problem is that it doesn’t want to commit manpower or lose men. So now they are going to lose territory.

Maybe leadership has been lying about what’s actually happening for a while now and it’s starting to catch up to them. The whole refusing to admit you’re at war thing is straight out of Vietnam.

Yeah it's pretty crazy. Not much changed in Russia proper, it's like they weren't at war at all. A country the size of Ukraine would need a massive commitment of troops to overrun, and they just weren't doing that after months and months of warnings.
 
Lose man?
Russia mainly is using meat from remote poor areas ( mainly non russian minorities ) and Wagner + lads from " republics " in dumbass and luhansk...
Babushkas in St Pete and Moscow and even in Grozny will not care had died xx or xxxx guys from dumbass or luhansk, checnen villages or poorest areas populated by buryats, kalmiks and tuva ppl etc stuff.

Until some Ivan from their local block in city will die....:)


Technique is different stuff, it does cost money and does require time to produce....even if with 0 sanctions...

Like Ka 52 helicopter and Su 25 they had lost today...

The one consistent aspect of this war is that Ukraine has absolutely destroyed Russia from start to finish in terms of intelligence.

That's how we know for pretty much certain how well backed they are by other nations, because it's been preternatural at times.

Yeah, I'm not that surprised at Ukraine's success, more impressed that Russia failed so miserably.
 
Fast mobilisation ofc might gave them meat for a grinder suitable for example to use Kalasnikoff and RPG-7 etc alike stuff...


While regardless how much money one does have.. to manufacture stuff like Ka 52 is impossible in 1 week.
Yeah, it is possible to manufacture batch with flowchart 10 or more in batch ....
While it will not matter are you able to pay 15 m or 15 b or 15 trillions for 1 helicopter.
In 1 week it is impossible...
 
Spain, notable for it's high solar energy power potential recently had launched ~500 000 kW solar power plant...and had signed permit for next like this....
Latvia looks that had get a bit brain: government and parliament approwed possible wind farm project with 800 000 - 1 000 000 kW total power...
Only one thing that this might be tackled down if municipalities will not agree ....or " brids "[ Gazprom ] friends"...
Also they looks that had confirmed quotas for at least 50 000 kW solar power....
