Putin is in serious trouble. Over 95% of the armed forces and their resources are stuck in Ukraine. Wagner is not led by incompetents unlike the chechens and the Russian Armed Forces, these are battle hardened troops with international experience. They are facing off again local gestapo and...
No doubt. He is definitely results oriented and pragmatic. But even he can't address the economic disaster the sanctions are wrecking. My guess is he bides his time by offering some concessions/withdrawals to the west/Ukraine and bides his time to regroup and rearm. expect tactical retreats to...
Looks like Prighozin has been setting things up waiting for this opportunity.

Not surprised at the current trajectory of the war. The russians are literally bleeding out to death and getting hammered, the Ukrainians have been bloodied but looks like Western support has been a little slow in getting to the front. Things should change if the western trained Ukrainian troops...
Can't escalate anymore than Russia already has. What are they going to do different??
