The more we piss him off, the more he will go all in. We will inflicting ourselves an Ukraine we can say, but without any backup to stop the takeover beside winter.
The War in the Ukraine

The Z-bros often get carried away by US approval, but Russia’s position in negotiations isn’t holding up well—since 2024 hasn’t come through with major advances.
Russia’s military performance comes off as lackluster, once again laying bare how weak it is. The Ukraine war has dragged on into its fourth year, and Russia still hasn’t wrapped up control over Donbas or Luhansk—let alone pulled off/prospect of a decisive blow against Ukraine’s army through an offensive on Odesa or even Kharkiv.
Yet here we’ve got deranged folks rambling on about NATO or pushing delusional takes—Threat on Europe!—all while Russia’s military hasn’t even broken through in two oblasts right on its doorstep after three years of warfare
That said. Economic performance and resilence has been proven masterclass. Kudos to Nabiullina

Russian BM-21 Grad MLRS saturated a grid occupied by Ukrainian infantry near the Kursk border. The target coordinates are supplied by reconnaissance drones.
Russian artillery takes out a Ukrainian mortar site in the Kharkhiv region.
Ukrainian strongholds hit in a fire raid by T-73B3 tanks of Group East in South Donetsk. The strongholds were identified by scouts, namely drones. Once the target is identified the tank goes to it's firing position, then fires at the target.
Drones monitor targets and adjusts the fire for a Russian BM-21 Grad against a Ukrainian force concentration in the Toretsk sector. The Grad belongs to Group Center.

FAB takes out a large Ukrainian deployment point, in this case a building used as a barracks, in the Kherson region.
VT-40 drone drops TM-62 antitank mine into a Ukrainian dugout. Volchansk, Kharkhiv direction.
Ukrainian drone operator gets spotted retrieving his drone, and it's all over for this Ukrainian drone crew. Fiberoptic drones took out their van and two satellite dishes. The work of the Irish, that is the "Irish" SPN unit in the Kursk region.
Hideouts used by Ukrainian drone launchers gets struck by FPV drones and artillery by units of Group South in the Zaporozhye direction.
Group South is mostly concentrated in the Chasiv Yar to Seversk fronts but is currently "lending" units to the Kurakhovo and Zaporozhye sectors, an indication that Chasiv Yar and Seversk is more of a "pin them down" mission mode than to storm. But that may change soon.
Tankers of the Grom Tank Battalion conducts a fire raid on positions of the 151st Brigade in the Pokrovsk sector.
The Siberian Association unit crafts a thermobaric mine with a 3D printer then gives it a test. Overall the results seems exceedingly successful.
Russian flags all over the chalk quarry hill in Belogorovka. This capture has a strategic importance in the entire sector as it is the highest point in the Seversk front.
Lancet getting quickly assembled for use in the front.

John Candy took over their country with three laid off red necks so I don’t think a few armored trucks makes that much difference.

Took more than 3 years for north Vietnam to break through the border. And there was a fair bit less south Vietnamese + drafted US than there's AFU.
Blitzes like France, Korea, Iraq, Vietnam 1979 are very much the exception in military history. Usually they only happen when a combination of 3 factors exist: 1. Loser making major avoidable mistakes. 2. Winner having genius commanders with novel ideas. 3. A big mismatch in force readiness.
Footage of Russian Kh-101 cruise missile strikes on the Ukrainian gas production station "Shebelinkagazdobycha", located near the settlement of Mirnoye in the Kharkiv region. The video was filmed on February 20 by a local resident. The range of the Russian Kh-101 missile is up to 5,500 km, the warhead is 400 kg. Some versions of the Kh-101 missiles have a warhead of 800 kg

Footage of the attack of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian armored personnel carrier VAB. The video was filmed near the village of Nikolsky, Kursk region of Russia. The VAB armored personnel carrier has been produced in France since 1976. In the Ukrainian army, the VAB armored personnel carrier was additionally equipped with lattice protection of the "Tsar-mangal" type. Judging by the video, as a result of the strike of the FPV drone "Vandal", the VAB armored personnel carrier was destroyed. The fate of the crew is unknown.
Russia isn't fighting this war to gain land only to lose it later. It's fighting to negotiate a new security architecture with NATO and deter their further encroachment. The military is subordinate to Russia's political objectives.
