sherpa Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 It is impossible to have confidence in any reporting from there, but the preponderance of the evidence seems to be that Putin and his once feared military has had an extremely bad week. I am amazed how much the Russian citizenry can take before some significant unrest occurs. Perhaps they simply have given up caring about their own loss of life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 It seems only a matter of time before the Putin regime collapses. The beached whale of an army that Russia has can't even be re-deloyed to answer the need of an emergency on their own territory. Compare that to our logistics in moving an army half way around the world to invade Iraq. And the situation is just deteriorating for Russian logistics, It is death by a thousand and one cuts. Here is an interesting story on just one aspect of the Ukrainians cutting the Russian bear. A drone strike on a far away locomotive; good overall story about the Russian rail system and attacks upon it from not just drones but partisans https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/05/15/drone-attack-derails-russian-train/ A drone strike this week derailed a Russian freight train, burning a tank car and leaving others strewn across the line in what looks like the first ever successful drone attack on a train. This looks like an escalation of the assault on Russia’s vital railway network, hitting the Russian military’s vulnerable logistics. Details are scant and there is little information available about the attack. But from the choice of target and the location some five hundred kilometers from the frontline, it will be setting off alarm bells all the way to the highest levels in the Kremlin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Callahan Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Far from being crippled, Russia's economy is growing. The International Monetary Fund predicts that Russia will record economic growth of 3.2% this year. Caveats aside, that's still more than in any of the world's advanced economies. “Debilitating” sanctions have not produced shortages in the shops.Jun 5, 2024 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nn7pej9jyo That Russian embargo had the opposite affect.

I am amazed how much the Russian citizenry can take before some significant unrest occurs. Perhaps they simply have given up caring about their own loss of life. I'm amazed you're amazed. This is a good old fashioned 20th Century conventional war with some modern bells and whistles. 600k casualties over 2+ years is par for the course. Hell the Nazis suffered 155k casualties, 800 AFVs and 1000 planes taking France in six weeks. The behavior of the Russian people is pretty typical for the circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 The Russian people live under a dictatorship, what can they do? How many are in jail for simply expressing the opinion. People act like they can just vote Putin out of office or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
