From my limited knowledge it simply looks like they moved faster than their supply lines and outran their coverage.


A lot (most?) of those tanks and such that were immobilized were recon units that work out in front of the main thrust.

From what I have seen a lot of the supply issues seem overblown. Not saying they have none, but random equipment out in front of the main lines doesn't really say what the media is claiming.

That issue was talked about a lot prior to the invasion too. The ground is just mush right now.

Russia is going to have to destroy Kiev at this point. Ukraine isn’t going to back down.

Nah. Just surround it. They'll be forced to give up within a week or two.

What I haven't figured out us why hasn't Ukraine shut down or sabotaged the Russian oil pipeline running through their country to Western Europe. Shut down the flow of Russian oil and prompt Europe to get more involved.

you don't truly own anything they don't allow you to own. At some point people will wake up to that fact. The statists can and will do whatever they want and there's little we can do but try not to become a target

I wonder what (if any) the response will be if Russia blocks access to the military aid coming in.

Would also potentially create a huge environmental disaster in their own country.

I've been wondering what will happen when Russia refuses to let humanitarian aid into Kyiv. They're running low on food & medicine already...and that's without being surrounded.

Weapons will be taken. If the Russians are smart I would imagine they will have their own humanitarian aid setup for the citizens to provide what they need. When the siege has taken its toll on them they will be searching for food and water & will not care where it comes from.

They were talking about using a workaround in the SWIFT system to still be able to pay Russia.
