What do you think about the comments below?

" The Art of War say to never put your enemy in a corner?"

Russians have repeatedly asked Ukraina and Nato to stop, but the West does not care. Russia has no other options. Russians are completely desperate, they are pressed into the corner, there is no way back. Finally, the Russians choose to fight to death for the future of the country and Slavs race.

That's false narrative, because it's all on Russian hand. They are the one that invade a country, they can get away from the corner just by pulling troop out of Ukraine.

That's not the future of Russia they are fighting for, that's the future of Ukraine, that's why it's the Ukrainian, not the Russian, had the motivation behind this fight. I don't know who I heard this from. But I will quote it here.

"The war will stop when Russian stop fighting, Ukraine will cease to exist when Ukrainian stop fighting" That summed up the reason for war on both sides pretty good.

Russia isn't in a conner, Putin is... No one is threatening to send troops into Russian territory. Putin is trying desperately to save his political career there is no existential threat to Russia. This hullabaloo about Ukraine's ascension to NATO is a red herring. To become a NATO member all elected representatives from each NATO member country in their respective Senate or Parliament must approve the new member. Finland and Sweden are yet to join NATO since their ascension is yet to be approved by member states particularly Turkey. Do you really think Putin's BFF Viktor Orban the Prime Minister of Hungary would ever allow Ukraine to join NATO?

The Russians aren't fighting to the death for the future of their country. They are being asked to die to preserve Putin's grip on power.

The USA should supply ATACMS so the ukranians can wipe out all russian train nodes and the kerch bridge.

Good luck with russia to get all those men and material in place, and warm and fed, during winter.

I don't think Ukraine is getting ATACMS. Biden is a responsible leader and he already said he does not want to escalate the war.

However Ukraine might have missiles of there own . . .

In the Novofedorivka air base attack , it seems likely that it was a missile attack by missiles carrying half a tone of explosive :

"The craters visible in satellite photos are 10 meters across, ... And each is consistent with the explosion of at least 500 pounds of C4. No Special Forces team is going to drag a ton of C4 to a target when two ounces would be sufficient to destroy an aircraft"

2022 Novofedorivka explosions - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Could this be the cause ? :

" Several media outlets discussed the possible use of the Hrim-2, as the distance between the Ukrainian troops and the airfield was more than 200 km. "

Hrim-2 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

This thing has a range of 400–500 km .

So it has the range , but is it accurate enough ?

Judging by the crates made in the Novofedorivka attack , i would say rather accurate , look how they targeted both ends of the airplane storage :

look at it this way

300,000 men (and women, probably in thousand) between 22 to 30 years old, must now leave their workforce and enter into some sort of training and then send to war in Ukraine. There are a lot of brain drain since the war started and many working ages people left Russia, with this they just thinning out their work force again, you wonder who earn bread in Russia right now?

Yes that’s true, but Putin does not care. His ergo is big. He wants to be like Peter the great.
He has a mission: Russia becomes either a great power or lands in the next trash bin.

Peter the Great recaptured Saint Petersburg from Sweden during Russia Sweden war.

The answer is yes. China has intact industrial chain. NATO doesn't. China can sustain Russia economy by offering things for daily life and basic industrial materials. If the war scale becomes bigger, for example, NATO army enters Ukraine, China will supply weapons to Russia.

I remember I told you that Russians will bet their country's future on the war. The situation is getting clearer. Russia can not afford to lose the war. And China can not afford to lose Russia either.

It is essentially too late for China. Too late in the sense that Russia can win with indirect support from China. What you said about economic assistance is indirect support. If ordinary Russians spends less and less because of the war, then all those indirect support become less and less effective. Poutine is shutting down the country which mean the Russian economy will deteriorate and China cannot force Russians to spend money they do not have. Plus, Russians will continue to try to escape Russia and each successful escape mean one less contributor to the Russian economy.

All this mean that now is the time for Chinese direct support to save the war. Not Russia, but the war. That direct support mean sending Chinese arms and have the Parade Line Army (PLA) on standby for deployment to the front. Not either but AND. The first Chinese attack must be the Parade Line Army Air Force (PLAAF) to make up for the failures of the VKS.

But...Xi needs the Parade Line Army (PLA) more than Poutine does. Must keep those uniforms spiffy.

Putin is a man of the past. He is like a living bomb, or worse, a suicide bomber.

For all his KGB credentials, Putin has screwed up big time. What miscalculation... Even if he "wins" now, damage has been done.

If I were a betting man, I bet on Russia. Russia has 4 times the population of Ukraine. That's 4 times the man power.
