Russia is resorting to terrorist bombing tactics, since their unprofessional military is performing so badly. I expect Ukraine to set off a few bombs in Moscow in the coming months as retaliation, targeting their electrical/energy infrastructure. The US may even supply them with a few EMP weapons to take down the grid. Small and tough to track once deployed. Putin and the sycophants who support the invasion have no idea what they have unleashed. Ukraine will no longer be a two-bit military power on their doorstep. The Ukraine military being built will likely last for decades, as eventually the war will wind down. After which, they will build the military industrial strength infrastructure to help prevent a recurrence. Steel sharpens steel, Ukraine’s military is being sharpened everyday. That’s the thing about war, when a nation is attacked, change is inevitable - mIndset change is expected. Anyone who thinks Russia is going to get its military act together and take over all of Ukraine at this stage is delusional. The Russian military is a hollow, unmotivated shell of a first rate military. If the US intervened, their failed invasion would be over in days. The best Russia can hope for at this point is keeping Crimea. Everything else is up for grabs. Including areas inside Russian territory on Feb 21st, 2022.

MoonOfAlabama is an interesting poster - informed, and knows how to interpret the info - and place it all in context. Russian campaign of bombing the Ukr infrastructure is taken directly from some old playbooks - including what NATO did in Serbia in 1999. For the most part, they simply kept bombing infrastructure and civilian targets - until the Serbs said uncle - and abandoned Kosovo, which was their ancient land. Are Russia’s actions in Ukr cruel? Yes. But not nearly as cruel as all the unnecessary civilian - as well as military - casualties, fighting a war they can’t win - against a far superior power - under extremely militant leadership, which signed on to the idea of fighting to the last Ukrainian. All along risking an extremely dangerous escalation, I should add.
