What happened in the US when 9/11 occurred? It was one of the few moments in the past decades where the country was united, put aside differences and was patriotic.
I suspect Russians that were on the fence will rally to support the cause now.

I think it's fair and real to say "Russia" has sustained massive casualties.
However you have to really break down the numbers and analyze them to get an understanding of what that might mean.
Russia has lost a crap ton of people but they are not necessarily weaker.
Based on my own independent analysis my best guess is 75% of their casualties in the past 6 months have been absorbed by the Wagner group and the other 25% in their regular forces. The Wagner is doing the heavy lifting and being used as bullet sponges. Russia could give 2 craps if they no longer have to feed and care for 100,000 convicts . To them they are pawns. Nothing more. They are wasting dwindling Ukrainian resources and inflicting some casualties on Ukraine and slowly but steadily gaining territory while holding a large part of Ukraine army in position near bakhmut. When they end up KIA it's like addition by subtraction for the Russian government and they are replaced by a new conscript convict to repeat the cycle.
Russia is moving more of their regular forces into position in sw Russia and crimea. That will be Ukrainines problem to deal with now.

LoL, as if Zelensky hasn't been target #1 of the Russians for over a year now.
The problem with escalating, is that it's only a threat if people think you aren't already all in.
Russia is all in, and has been for a while.
I honestly don't think he has been. I'm sure if the Russians really wanted to kill him they could have by now.
I do not think that Zelensky has been a target as of yet. He will be now though. He has had it pretty easy, as wars go. His wife as well, shooping trips to the US and France and other Nations. Flying around like she owns the World. Zelensky playing around on the World stage, all may change very soon. Much of the larger cities have remained near untouched. I think much is going to change, I think the Ukraines, all around the Country and many around the World are fixin to see some serious destruction.

Pissing off Russia to intensify the "war" is the most profitable thing Ukraine could do.
We will probably mint a 2nd trillion dollar coin just for them.

Russia is not all in. They don't even call it a war. Mobilization is limited. Zelensky was given a promise not to be killed.
Former Israeli PM: Putin promised not to kill Zelenskyy
A former Israeli prime minister who served briefly as a mediator at the start of Russia’s war with Ukraine says he drew a promise from the Russian president not to kill his Ukrainian counterpart.

As divided as our Country is now I would expect that, if Congress were taken out, the political squabbling would last years before we had any kind of leadership again.

If congress were taken out, maybe the people on the left and right would figure out who their real enemy has been all along.
Might be our salvation.
I doubt it, but it might be. If not, it would at least be a good start.

If it is printed in NY Putz it must be true.
Fairytales for the idiots about evil dictators. Classic U.S. propaganda that fell apart long ago.

I could believe the attack had ties to MI5 or CIA in hopes of provoking an emotional or OVER response which could bring NATO into the fight.
Not one shred of evidence to prove it, just throwing it out there.

The battle for Bakhmut is pretty much over , The Ukrainians hold roughly the last 1.5 square miles of the western end , some units are surrendering . Hats off to Ukraine for putting up one hell of a fight They definitely left an impression. That had to be one hell of a fight .
I think its going to pale compared to the battles coming this summer , I dont think Ukraine is going to launch a massive counter offensive after all. it may just be smaller . So far they have no answer to the overwhelming Russian artillery advantage.

They should save their resources for formidable defense to preserve the territory they have left. Going on the offensive will be in vain and deplete their ability to mount an effective defense.
If they launch a major counter attack and it fails, they're done. It's their hail Mary.
Ukrainian diplomats disrupt a conference of Black Sea countries in Turkey by trying to unveil their flag behind Russian delegation, provoking altercation. Ukrainian Zhlob attacks an older Russian diplomat. Classless scumbags.
Interesting development.

Ukrainian control of bakhmut is down to a few blocks or roughly 5% of the city.
They will be routed any time now.
Weird that the media stopped covering this story.

I think Prigozhin was playing Western media. Pre-empting Western media's cocksquiling over heavy bombardment seen in GOPerfect link.
He doesn't need to make these videos, he can just speak to Putin directly.
The media jumped on the story that Russians don't have enough ordinance and bombardment story became incompatible.

Probably no mines anywhere near his field. Wonder if he wore a mask while running the tractor.
Now, running a service for people who really might have mines could make a nice business.
So...
For anyone paying attention there has been wayyyyyyy too much recent activity and rumors around the zaparhozsi nuclear power plant to ignore.
Something bad is fixin' to happen. I definitely think we're about to have some sort of nuclear emergency.
