It’s true. Especially because I think Putin is terminally ill and doesn’t care about the future beyond having a legacy.

I also think just from a practical sense.

People seem to think that the Ruskies in 2022 are the scary Ruskies of the 60s. I mean I guess, technically they are, because they're still using all the same gear, but that's a bug, not a feature.

Yes, but when we're talking specifically anti-aircraft they are (likely) getting bodied by their own older tech, which is still pretty good.

Shooting shit down tech is close to NATO, they are just not in the same league with building shit to not get shot down.

That’s why the f-35 is so important okay!

I’m just projecting my own frame of mind onto Putin most likely. I have one of those gut feelings like George Dubya that he’s got cancer or Parkinson’s and this is part of his endgame to secure his legacy as the first tzar of the new Russian Empire. It’s basically nonsense but so is Putin.

Russians are also really good at hacking and have been mapping out under sea information, cables and pipelines for years with at least one episode of cutting one anonymously that was almost assuredly them.

Long before nuclear war, the rapid advance of things like drones and hacking infrastructure sets them as near peers far more than a conventional weaponry might suggest.

I think most of this just highlights the huge gap between blowing stuff up, causing trouble, and then actually projecting force in terms of boots on the ground.


@Lars Should I be thinking about the Afghanistan invasion by the Soviets when considering what the future brings for Russia in Trying to hold land in Ukraine?

Geographically it’s easier terrain, mostly steppe land with some ridges. Closer to the Russian heartland so easier to supply. But I think the urban centres will be very hard to occupy, we might see Kiev turn into Sarajevo. But like I said, Putin is probably hesirant to destroy Odessa and Kiev.

I don’t know if they’ll be AS tough as the Afghans, but the populace is no pushover and many that had pro Russian sentiments have changed their mind now that their families are cowering in subways according to my cousin.

I think there's a few nervous people in Virginia and Washington cheering for Russia to succeed.

If Russia can't even beat Russia Junior, these massive employment programs/scams/money pits get that little bit harder to justify.

Sure they can always say 'Ooga booga, General Secretary Pooh has a shiny new plane' but I just can't see the American public ever being afraid of tech with a 'Made in China' sticker slapped on it.

Anonymous Hackers Launch Cyber Ops Against Russia, Claim Government Site Takedowns - HS Today

An Anonymous video posted last week threatened to "take hostage" industrial control systems if the crisis escalated.
www.hstoday.us www.hstoday.us
An Anonymous account on Twitter claimed that the group took down “the website of the #Russianpropaganda station RT News | RT - Breaking news, shows, podcasts | in response to Kremlin’s brutal invasion of #Ukraine.” The site was back up a short time later.

The account also said it also knocked down Russian internet service providers Com2Com, PTT-Teleport Moscow, RELCOM, and Sovam Teleport.

This aircraft carrier with Peyronie's disease makes me afraid that it could hit the American g-spot with ease.
