I would have previously disagreed with you jabbath because Putin said if Russia was attacked on it’s own side of the border there would be very serious consequences. After Ukrainian strikes in Crimea and last weeks car bomb outside Moscow it seems Putin was spouting more bulls__t than anything else as he regards Crimea as part of Russia while Ukraine rightly wants it back. Plus there have been other strikes inside Russia in the East. So far we have not seen any Russian reaction to what Ukraine has done.
You made a good point and I get the impression Ukraine is using its weaponry wisely by using everything they have received sparingly but enough to not only slow down the Russian war machine but f___e them to dig in. This buys Ukraine more time as I suspect Ukraine is building up its weapons dumps for a big offensive probably by the New Year in the East and South.
Speaking of Putin’s bulls__t, we have learned his army is s__t as they use 20th century tactics against 21st century weapons systems and 21st century tactics. This shows how out of touch they really are. Plus they are very badly supplied in every way with many troops even stealing food to stay alive while many are deserting too. The morale difference on both sides couldn’t be more different with the Ukrainians on a high and Russians feeling like they are in hell. The only thing they have been good at is propaganda inside Russia but even that is being eroded as Russian holiday makers in Crimea witnessed for themselves how this really isn’t a ‘Special Operation’ after all. They will return to Russia with news that totally contradicts the evening TV news bulletins. Add that to the massive Russian death toll with many families now beginning to demand answers to what is really going on.
I said at the start of all this, change has to come from within Russia once and for all. Russian people have been under the iron fist of these Bas*ards for decades and Russian people deserve to be free from them. Getting back to the Russian propaganda machine, like I said they were (up to now) very good at it by tricking the whole World into thinking Russia has the second most powerful war machine on the planet. It doesn’t look that way at all now after trying to take just one country with far fewer weapons.
Yes they have nuclear weapons but that is about all they have because their army surely must be an embarrassment 6 months into this conflict?!! Sorry, ‘‘Special Operation’’… yeah it’s special but for all the wrong reasons Mr. Putin. To quote a line from a famous song…
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday You got b___d on your face, you big d______e Waving your banner all over the place
I wonder how many of you reading this has the chorus of what song in your heads right now? So just as America lost the Vietnam war Russia will absolutely lose this war for the exact same reason. It is simple, you can’t beat the will of the people and the will of the Ukrainians is far stronger than anyone expected especially for Putin. Another factor is, unlike other reasons for various conflicts in the past Ukraine is fighting for the essence of it’s existence and that is quite simply ‘Sovereignty’ of their nation. It doesn’t get any deeper than that.
Lastly getting back to Putin’s warning of serious consequences if Russia is attacked on it’s side of the border. Another serious miscalculation was invading a country which is more technologically advanced compared to Afghanistan or the ‘Special Operations’ in Syria and even then it didn’t go Russia’s way. Unlike those other countries Ukraine is right next door so Russia has to expect s__t to happen inside their country making incursions or counter-insurgency very likely. There is a lesson in all of this for you Mr. Putin (asshole stuck in another century) and that lesson is in a figure of speech… Don’t s__t on your own doorstep!
Go Ukraine 
Another great tactic.
