Russian army mutiny: General tells Putin to ‘f*** off’ as anger grows over Ukraine debacle https://share.smartnews.com/cB9Pp

I was only 'half-right' compared to the other armchair 'analysts' on this forum.

I was the only who stated that Putin was definitely going to attack, but I also said he would conquer the Ukraine in a couple of weeks.

Looks like I was seriously wrong about that.

Everybody, and I mean everybody, thought Putin was definitely going to attack, and that the big fighting would be over in a couple of weeks.

Ukraine is going for broke by throwing a huge chunks of its military into the Karkhiv region.
I believe while this is tactically bright and good for headlines it is strategically bad.
Ukraine does not have the men nor equipment to hold such a long front.

You don't want to fight a battle of attrition with Russia. Going for broke may be less dangerous, in the long run.

This was done to placate Ukraine's sponsors especially those facing elections. The signs of unease from the citizens were appearing.

Actually, comrade, it is the Russians who are experiencing severe manpower and equipment shortages. Try to keep up.

From the start of the conflict everyday the Russians are running out of something.
