Quadrupled posted because I'm pooping.
Instead of doing the no message thing, I'll ask OML where is my response to my post earlier today. Seems like he's fond of running away when I got him in a rhetorical chokehold, metaphorically speaking.

Everyone learned from Russia's past attacks mainly on Baltic States.
Ukraine has a thriving software development industry beforehand. Heck, much of the USSR's technical expertise was Ukrainian.

No source to cite but reportedly Russia had to quell a riot between a Spetsnaz unit and the Wagner Group. They were shooting each other near the front.

I am mainly interested in if we are seeing an increase in Russian attacks within the US. I assume it is more or less constant all the time just curious if they have upped their attempts since there are certainly pissed at us.

He’s stuck and his ego won’t let him pull back or stand down so all he’s got is to continue. The best parts of his military is slowly bring ground up that will take several years and an immense amount of money to replace. The man expected his tanks to be rolling through the center of Kyiv in 72 hours and now 6 months later he’s resorted to only operating in the East and is in a very precarious position with Kherson and Crimea.

UPDATE ON UKRAINE 26 August 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
On 24 August 2022, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation that Russia was deliberately slowing the pace of its military campaign in Ukraine, driven by the need to reduce civilian casualties.
This is almost certainly deliberate misinformation. Russia's offensive has stalled because of poor Russian military performance and fierce Ukrainian resistance. Under Shoigu's orders, the forces operating in Ukraine have repeatedly missed planned operational timelines. It is highly likely that Shoigu and President Putin have fired at least six generals for not advancing quickly enough.
On the day Shoigu was speaking, a Russian SS-26 Iskander short-range ballistic missile struck a train in the town of Chaplyne, reportedly killing at least two children. This highlights Russia's willingness to cause collateral damage when it perceives there is military advantage in launching missile or artillery strikes.

Interesting article. I noted that the political and social commenters that the author referenced and described as “more right than wrong” are making a good case in favor of the present US policy.
The author makes a very thin suggestion at the end that China may be elevated on the world stage with a reduced Russia. However, the author does not explain how Russia was keeping China in check prior to the Ukraine war. His analogy that the U.S war in Iraq made Iran a regional power doesn’t translate to this situation. Unlike Iraq and its previous conflicts with Iran, Russia was not China’s power foe on the world stage prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Prior to the invasion of Ukraine, it appeared that China was establishing a partnership with Russia as a unified opposition to the United States. Russia has undermined itself and China as a result of its barbaric invasion and the exposure of its military and diplomatic weakness. At the present time, Russia is no longer the useful partner China needs for that kind of venture.
Opposition to Russia has elevated the United States by pushing down the potential perceived power of the union between Russia and China. Support for Ukraine has strengthened both the United States and Western Europe. There was no real opportunity to cut down the potential combined power of a strong China-Russia alliance until Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia gave us that opening.
Thanks for the link. I prefer to start the morning reading something like that than the incessant whining of some of our intellectually limited posters.

So he bases a lot of this on the misleading Mearsheimer fake facts which fly against what has occurred in 2008 and since.

The same mines which Russia's ambassador to the UN claimed were Ukrainian a few days ago when he mentioned WARFARE instead of saying Special Operation.
