So why are the Russians holding back. The tanks could have just kept on going right through them right? Close the hatches and hit the accelerator
Still trying to save face to an extent? So inconsistent with what other troops are doing

These groups of 2-6 vehicles driving around by themselves does seem really odd. Did Russia think they would just drive to the capital from all directions with no resistance? Why are they looking lost and so vulnerable? It really looks like this was coordinating poorly by Russia.

Watching Putin's attack on Ukraine play out, I am struck by the thought that Putin learned the lesson from the wrong Afghanistan war. And he has also vastly misunderstood post-Zelenskiy Ukraine. 1/?

I have a bad feeling if putin goes nuke, he will be all in, and ukraine won't be the target. If he stays small maybe poland or romania. Poland was directly aiding ukraine from the get go.HarryJ33tamu said:

If Putin is putting his nuclear forces on high alert, wouldn't we be doing the same thing if we really thought it could happen. Or are we always on high alert.

I've been receiving messages from Chechen sources that after huge losses of Kadyrov's personal "army" (in particular: @ 70 of them were reported charred alive after a single Bayraktar strike), most of the rest returned across the border. Scenes like this corroborate such reports. https://t.co/hPLPEz8V9g
