Rarely.Too long to quote, and while an interesting read it seems pretty over-optimistic. Thoughts?
The Breakup: Will Russia Splinter Over War in Ukraine?
Russia is entering a period of political turmoil that is likely to include renewed demands for independence by its constituent republics in a replay of the break-up of the Soviet Union.nationalinterest.org
Poetic justice ?How ironic, Stalin 2.0 wanted to expand Russia but he might actually shrink it.

We can expect Potemkin villages in the next few days....
Well, that worked out as planned for Putin.... what a dummy.The Kremlin has said that there will be consequences if Finland and Sweden join NATO.
That will never happen. As explained here....I fear that the only solution is that the Russian people stand up for themselves. And I don't see that happen very soon.
Good explanation on the Russian mindset.
Has anything changed? I was expecting to see C-5s and fast transport ships loading up with heavy weapons by now. Hopefully this is all happening beyond the public's eye.Holy St Javelin, Batman! The US Senate just voted to revive Lend Lease!
In the fight against Putin, Senate unanimously approves measure that once helped beat Hitler
Ohh yes things changed.Has anything changed? I was expecting to see C-5s and fast transport ships loading up with heavy weapons by now. Hopefully this is all happening beyond the public's eye.
Biden's national security advisor says the US is 'working around the clock to deliver our own weapons' to Ukraine

I hope so. If they hope to first hold the line and then evict the Russians from all Ukraine territory (including the Donbas, but likely never Crimea), the Ukrainians need more than MANPATS, MANPADS, drones (and their guided missiles), small/medium arms and communications gear. They need counter battery systems and heavy artillery of their own, plus tanks, etc. You don't win wars playing defence.Ohh yes things changed.
as in the use of portable anti tank weapons such as javelins and rpgsWhat do you mean? Is Ukraine having success with its own tanks that is overshadowed by YouTube MANPATS vids?
I imagine China's thinking as they look wistfully at Taiwan, well f#ck Russia, did you have to kick the global beehive and bring the West out of its military and activist complacency?It is also a warning for other states. We can pull together and spend you to oblivion.
I too have Georgia on my mind.Let's send some stuff to Georgia.
We've got a long way to go.God bless Canada!that was awesome!
US House of Representatives went on Easter recess without voting on it. Too many Putinistas in the house to get the vote done then, not enough to prevent it but enough to delay it.Has anything changed?
