The complicated part of this is that it traded bad Russian PR for innocent lives. Not something to be taken lightly.

True, but if you are going to give up one large city, you might as well just give up the rest.

Kill as many Russian soldiers as you can, but any you capture or that surrender, treat them with kindness.
Not only does it neuter any Russian propaganda that the Ukrainians are committing war crimes/crimes against humanity, but it shows the people back home in Russia what is really happening to their fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, and friends.

as the destruction continues...it may be time for the "open city" designation for some places in the eastern half.
otherwise there won't be much left
Absolutely correct. There's an Australian guy named Gray Connelly who's very good on geopolitics stuff who's been saying this for days now.
It means you've demilitarized the city and will not be defended. You do this in order to spare a city from bombardment and loss of life
Can also act as sanctuary cities for civilians escaping from contested cities. When evacuation out of the war zone is practically impossible, evac to an open city can help limit civilian casualties in the contested cities. It's a win-win in the short term.

Not necessarily. Let's take Mariupol as an example. It is completely surrounded and trapped against the sea with no hope for reinforcements. It would be best to surrender the city instead of having it razed to the ground with the same end result. You can do this while still fighting to keep control of strategic cities farther up the Dnieper.
It's also great psyops on the Russian home front.

No army with trained officers, good morale, and the will to win would walk away from equipment like that. At a minimum they would destroy it so it couldn't be used against them down the road.

Here is a good quick write up on the overall strategic military situation. Yes it runs counter to the broad narrative, no it is not Russian propaganda.

Talk about fully committed and laying everything on the line. Reminds me of some men who once pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
Seeing that blockade is inspiring.
People on Twitter keep citing the Geneva Convention in regards to using POW videos. Any insight on this as Twitter people are wrong like 80% of the time?
Almost makes you wonder if Putin and his brass is fully in control of their army.

It's my understanding that it's a violation for a government to do it, not individuals.
Is there nothing flying over Ukraine or nothing squawking?

The proclamation of martial law will allow the authorities to introduce military censorship, to increase the secrecy of the state's activities and the actions of local bodies, 2/5
The list is long - the primary reason is the necessity of gaining total control over the information space, to prevent the spread of the “party of peace” throughout the system (to shut their mouths), to disrupt the internet as much as possible without any drama...4/5

Read the article. Bunch of opinions giving too much credit to putin and Russia. Truth is in the middle somewhere.
The key to the decision of this invasion, which the article hinted at, was putin correctly calculated that the west would not go to war with Russia. He planned for everything else, except maybe the strength of resistance being put up by the ukes.
