Pentagon says many Russian troops are punching holes in their vehicles' gas tanks in order to avoid combat.

Of all the military blunders Russia made in this campaign, the reasons for the lack of morale has got to be tops. How in the world did they think they could win a war by a) using brand new relatively untrained conscripts and b) not tell them they are entering into combat?!

Also what is the definition of "take out?"

A Chechnya strategy was to destroy the first and last mile of a convoy. This would stop the entire convoy in its track and trap the maneuverability of the tanks, allowing infantry to attack the rest.

I’m really starting to doubt some of these stories. Remember a few nights ago they shot down a couple Russian cargo planes? Where are the pics of those?

For all the good stories that have come out Ukraine is in serious trouble. What is the red line for the west? Poland? Germany? France? I could easily see Russia attacking a NATO country and the powers that be reacting the same way as they have with Ukraine.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster, life-long Badger fan. :(

Yeah, I wouldn't believe a thing coming out of either the Ukrainian or Russian governments, or propaganda machines right now. The amount of fake/doctored pictures of destroyed Russian armament is hilarious, actually.

Unfortunately the longer this drags out the more likely the Ukrainians are gonna get thoroughly wrecked. From all indications Russia still has a signification portion of committed troops/resources yet to even enter Ukraine.
Good synopsis of the day:

That said, for how long will the Russian populace stand for this ridiculous? And, more importantly, there HAS to be divisions being currenty formed within the siloviki.
Putin is ensuring the country will soon resemble the hellhole 1990s era; a time many Russians are still traumatized by.
Pootie is losing support by the minute on the homefront.
Let's hope *something* internally occurs in Russia.

Holy hell. Maersk has stopped shipping to Russia

@theophite
maersk isn't shipping to russia and is keeping all empty shipping containers which might return to russia, their commercial airline industry has had its parts & maintenance supply turned off, their money is useful only for buying RMB-denominated goods -- and they're on stockpile

It's almost like you want to see this happen.
 
I know it makes me an asshole, but I have to giggle at the idea that Millenial Russians will get a taste of what things were like towards the end of the Cold War in real life as a result of many of these sanctions...

Yeah, but at some point, these sanctions become lethal. And not in a good way. I'm not saying stop, but we need to be very careful how big we build this fire and make sure we can extinguish it fast and effectively.

No, I get that. It would make any progressive Russians hate the West instead of being indifferent.

Most of the Europeans will probably leap at the chance to end sanctions/help if Putin is out
