My $0.02, Zelensky has an established escape route and safe house somewhere within the city that he'll move to if need be. Once re-established, he'll send out video confirming him being in the city and will rally the troops to mount a counteroffensive.oldmanguy said:I don't think Kiev doesn't fallSidsBurnerAccount said:Why would the Zelensky government be at its sunset.

I think you're both right. The government, THIS government, is probably at it's sunset. I think the country still has a lease on life as it knows it without being a puppet.
I don't think Zelensky leaves Kiev
He has buttressed a nation. He won't leave and he won't get captured IMO.

Gun fire on CNN right now.
Edit: CNN corespondent saying was AAA.

It's pretty clear they are facing overwhelming odds here. Russia is eventually going to take control of the major cities. It's going to be nasty, and Russia is going to lose way more assets than they thought they would. Z and his higher ups are going to be killed or captured, but he will be a martyr.
My wife wants a Zelinsky shirt with his face on it. She knows he will die but wants to remember his bravery.
So, I've now seen multiple talking heads and people who would know saying that Putin's sanity, demeanor, outlook has changed dramatically in the last year or two. I'm not sure if that is a thought that has simply gone viral or if that is a known thing that people in the know have been aware of for a while and hasn't been shared.
COVID isolation? Illness? Fake news? Simple desperation? Who knows.
Regardless, that is a theme clearly making the rounds now.

Rubio alluded to it on Twitter. And he's been NAILs so far. I think it's a definite variable.
Daylight may not be a friend of the ruskies. If, and that's a big if, the civilians are going to resist, they will make for hundreds of snipers once the fighting moves into the more urban areas.
It's hard to tell. I'm so jaded by watching Homeland who knows what the hell to believe.
There are 2 C-17 Globemasters in the air over the English channel. One from Tacoma,Was and one from New Jersey. Wonder where they're going and what they're carrying?
WTF? What do Chechens have to do with this fight and why are they fighting FOR the Russians? They and the Russians hate each other.SidsBurnerAccount said:Chechens on the border with Ukraine.

The ability to exfil a president.
Zelinsky was a comedian. On a sitcom. Playing the president.
He's now a national hero that they will be naming airports, squares, and elementary schools after 100 years from now.
I'm not sure, but maybe Ukraine is a country full of badasses?

Saw various Twitter reports on a thread from Ukrainian journalists saying a lot of these Russian soldiers are conscripts and not pros. Lost the link.
I'm looking forward to taking a vacation to Kiev to get a picture with his statue in a few yearsThe Fall Guy said:Captain Positivity said:

It is absolutely not a big if. It isn't even an if at this point. The Russians are going to have to fight for every block in Kiev. Citizens have already stood up and fought more than anyone could have predicted

A horrible scene at the Medyka border crossing between Ukraine and Poland. This was just the end of the line. Thousands were pushing to cross to safety. Behind them, a line of cars 30 miles long. Only a handful of customs officials to process people. pic.twitter.com/VDDvIxblqg

Been seeing more of this for Poland and Romanian borders. Mostly women and kids because the men stayed to fight. Just cant wrap my head around this.

I believe that conscription and service is still required in Russia.
A few questions:TRM said:⚡️The #Azov territorial defense unit is preparing to mop up the #Russian military in #Vasylkiv, where hostilities are going on.

1. What's so special about these troops?
2. Why have they not already been deployed?
3. Is there any corroboration beyond a Twitter post?
That is a very determined fighting group of men who are left behind. They will be savages for their families.JobSecurity said:A horrible scene at the Medyka border crossing between Ukraine and Poland. This was just the end of the line.

Fog of war. Would not trust much of anything you hear.
Another journalist is reporting Ukraine has shut down yet another Russian transport in that area. Don't know if anybody is post a tweet yeah, this thread is moving so fast.

Interesting to see the US spy drone go this far east in the Black Sea. Did they want to take a peek at Sochi for some reason? pic.twitter.com/myobjGo61q

Jazz in your feed as well
The reason you may be hearing jazz is because it was outlawed in the Russia in the early 20th century due to it's perceived subversive nature. They had a device that could duplicate records, but they had no material to use for it. People began making bootleg records of jazz on discarded x-ray film from hospitals, which was similar to vinyl. They would burn the film with a cigarette in the center to make it fit on a spindle.

This would probably explain why we haven't seen much from Kharkiv for awhile looking at the distribution.
Interestingly, Russia's plan resembles its operation in Crimea in 2014 in some ways. There was clearly a hope that if they moved fast enough, with VDV and SOF, and targeted some key Ukr capabilities, they could achieve a fait accompli with minimal violence. That didn't happen. 2/

As a reminder, this war is supposed to resolve what Russia failed to achieve in 2014-2015. That means compromise solutions are less likely, because the Minsk agreements failed. So he'll be willing to use more force to try to achieve a long-term solution. 4/

The RC-135's were flying a similar route last week.
We've seen th NATO drone flip off the transponder every time it flys. It's American made.
This drone could do the same, but doesn't. More optics, no?

Quite a difference from the Afghan evacuation where you saw mostly fighting age men.
Just a really sad situation all around, this is not what the people of the world want, these leaders are evil, I seriously hope all these people get into Poland and elsewhere safelyJobSecurity said:A horrible scene at the Medyka border crossing between Ukraine and Poland.
