It may be that some in Putin's inner circle feel he's gone mad and are feeding the information though.

This is probably the correct answer.

If there's one thing I've learned through all this, it's that you should probably never challenge a Ukrainian to The Dozens.

There are now conflicting reports associated with my earlier post concerning Russia expelling our ambassador from Moscow. Some reputable news sites are running with it, others are saying it's not true. Al Jazeera just reported it was true about a minute or so ago. However, there's too much conflicting information to confirm or deny at the present moment.

As Russia’s bloody military operation against Ukraine nears the end of its first week, the Kremlin has been working hard to promote its version of events in the face of widespread indignation and an anti-war movement at home, which has seen nearly 7,000 people arrested across the country since the conflict began on Thursday.

For instance, a statement by Russia’s internet censor board, Roskomnadzor, warns that referring to the ongoing military campaign as an “invasion”, “attack” or “declaration of war” will lead to the offending website being blocked

Additionally, parents have received letters from their children’s schools, warning them to keep an eye on their children’s consumption of social media such as TikTok where they may be encouraged to use the hashtag #???????? (“no to war”) and be drawn into “unsafe” protests, as well as be exposed to other malfeasance such as “suicide flash mobs, detailed instructions on gender reassignment, and promotion of same-sex relationships”.

Also, risk aversion for casualties generally means that it'd be a slower advance, not quicker.

Low casualties are generally enabled by speed and maneuver.


Well which is it?

Good to see you, GT.

You know as well as I that the general tendency for soldiers is to be hesitant and shelter if they want to protect themselves.

The actual way to enable the lowest amount of casualties - and what well-trained and capable units do - is to move quickly and forcefully.
