If they use the port at Thessaloniki, it's a straight (relatively) shot north through Bulgaria and Romania into south-west Ukraine.

I would love to see the reactions of the ordinary Russians to that. If they could see it.
As the war escalates, Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons. So will he?
As Vladimir Putin warns he's willing to use any military means necessary in the war with Ukraine, experts say the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons must be taken seriously.

This is an interesting piece of investigative journalism. Darkweb marketplaces are showing adverts for Western military equipment being sold by "Ukrainians." The BBC brought in experts to explore these claims and, using non-traceable means, actually engage with the sellers. Surprise, surprise, the sellers almost certainly aren't Ukrainian (or Polish as one of them claimed) but, rather, they're Russian, and there's no guarantee that anything is actually for sale:

Another analysis on the failings of Russian armour. Interestingly, I served with the author (briefly) many moons ago:

I'm flummoxed as to what's holding up the Germans. It's not like Ukraine has to necessarily take Germany's tanks. They just need German support of other countries' Leo2s to Ukraine.

You jest I know, but the Leo2 can use any diesel fuel available.

Hasn't that already been kiboshed? Russian gas has essentially been cut off already, right?

Ah, I assumed that was already off the table.

Right, that's what I've read. The "technical problems" have yet to be solved, for some reason.
And some people question why Russia must be stopped, or why it is in our best interest. It is in humanities best interest, damn it!
