The only problem is that for all the tanks and armoured vehicles taken out, the Russians can still send missiles in to civilian targets.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Not sure there is a '6th tank regiment', although there is a 6th tank brigade.briantrumpet said:
But a "tank regiment"? S'pose I'm hoping for a bit of a turning point...
Significant if true. Suggests over 90 tanks, plus associated support. I'd be surprised to see an entire regiment/brigade concentrated in a single location. On the other hand, given how random the Russians' strategic planning seems to be, maybe I wouldn't...

Has this been explained earlier? If so my apologies for not having found it.
I am trying to understand the significance and modus operandi of Putin's immensely long negotiating table, the one where he sits at one end and about 50 metres away at the other, his miserable lickspittles huddle fearfully. Is it simply a phallic symbol demonstrating his vast power and invincibility? Or is it that he is beyond an accurate pistol shot or radius of a bomb blast?
How would it have worked when Macron was occupying the other end? Who would have been at the wrong end of the penis? And how do they communicate at such a distance? Is it via Zoom?
Does Putin not realise how ridiculous it makes him look? Like David Brent in the office although infinitely more grotesquely evil.0 -
Putin must be thinking "We're reallyfucked if the west gets drawn in fully."
Downside is making him consider his last resort.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

This is an interesting thread re the 'narrative' that the press uses, about places such as Mariopul. His thesis is that basically the Russians' focus on trying to take places like that are an indicator of its failure in strategic terms, and the media's focus on such places does not help get the big picture.

Jeepers. Even taking into account the thread earlier, I think there might be some reportage of Kyiv that will be harrowing. Looks like the Russians are going for annihilation by any means.

Bloke on Today just now explaining that Russian soldiers aren't allowed to carry mobile phones, so you aren't seeing their "successes" on twitter etc. in the same way as you are for Ukraine's.0

If the destruction of civilian buildings was a success metric for wars then Putin would be world champ. Not sure what other success they are having as they are not winning hearts and minds.First.Aspect said:Bloke on Today just now explaining that Russian soldiers aren't allowed to carry mobile phones, so you aren't seeing their "successes" on twitter etc. in the same way as you are for Ukraine's.

They haven’t been allowed smart phones since 2019. The Russians are scared of leaked information on the web / social media.
I think successes is wishful thinking.

Not really my point. More that there is a lot of Ra ra ra about twitter posts showing photos taken on the ground of damaged or appropriated Russian kit, but this is a one sided assessment.Pross said:I think the use of "successes" suggest FA realises that

So across the distillates the most acute oil based shortages will be in diesel and jet fuel it seems, as the Russian oil disproportionately spits out those distillates versus other oil around the world (crude is not as fungible as people think.)
Grain, mainly wheat is obviously shot to pieces and ME and NA in particular do not have infrastructure set up to take on wheat elsewhere.
I do think there is still room for wage growth before we hit wage led inflation. I think if the gov't is smart they should really tweak the biases around what gets taxed to soften the blow.
I do think it's odd the govt is so quick to freeze or cut petrol/diesel taxes but not public transport costs - you'd think that's a winner for multiple reasons.0 -

War wise it seems there are 3 fronts and they've reached stalemate on 2 fronts, namely Kiev and in the East, and the Russians are making slow but progress in the South still, though that latter bit is mitigated as they're quite stretched out in that area.0
