The move allows Russia to bolster its forces without any additional risk to Russian troops." See: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-N...2851646999325/ ==================================== WHO, US worry Ukrainian biological lab samples could spill, go to Russians "The news follows Senate testimony on Tuesday by Victoria Nuland, US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, who said that the US is "quite concerned" that Russian troops will seek out Ukraine's biological research laboratories to seize control of any potentially dangerous samples." See: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022...o-to-russians/ ==================================== Russian army to evaluate Ukraine-made BTR-4 captured near Kharkiv "Russian military specialists reportedly plan to conduct a detailed examination of a Ukraine-made BTR-4 wheeled armored personnel carrier, which was recently captured near Kharkiv."

See: https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukra...vilian-1687191 ==================================== The Next Russia Crisis: What Happens to Belarus?

Russia has effectively legalized patent theft from anyone affiliated with countries “unfriendly” to it, declaring that unauthorized use will not be compensated. https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-patent-theft/ I officially declare Russia a hermit country! |

More on Putin targeting the FSB's Beseda and Bolyukh and everyone else in the 5th Directorate. This'll be an interesting shakeup.

As I understand it (but I am not a military otaku), those missiles should be used to attack key military installations, not for everyday bombing. I do wonder if low-tech cheap jamming for laser/thermal guided missiles (like air balloons covered in tin foil) could decrease the accuracy of said weapons. |

Chechens and Chinese military aid could make this really ugly
Chechens because they seem to be actually prepared,(unlike the initial russian wave who weren’t expecting a war) and Chinese aid could solve Russia’s potential logistics and supply parts problem //

It would be hilarious if bilibili offers their donghua repertoire to russia (doubt they have the anime licenses for anime for said region) and they demand that any russian pirate site with anime be shutdown, so they have dominance over the market sector. Quote:

Pretty good twitter thread. The slow-roll devastation of Ukraine is likely to continue for a long time, since the Russian army is too incompetent to finish it, but also too large to be defeated. Diplomatic solution is unlikely, when the war is supposed to be a solution to diplomatic failure. Many are predicting that it will end with a coup in the Kremlin, seems too optimistic to me.

IMO xi jing ping must be pushing putin to some kind of permanent ceasefire solution, that is the only way I can understand they are planning rushed referendums to join russia in the occupied cities, he must be pushing for some "whatever I conquered is mine, now china can give me some economy relief while I rebuild my army for the next invasion". |
