Yes Equanimity it looks like there could be a large scale Russian collapse. This has been a very clever play by the Ukrainians. Broadcast your offensive in the Kherson area so Ivan sends his troops West, then hit them in the East now their thin on the ground. With the Russians around Kherson stuck on the wrong side of the river. Bridges blown and winter on the way.
I see Putin is going to meet Xi in Uzbekistan next week. I'm almost embarrassed for him. Six months into the 3 -5 day operation none of the initial objectives have been achieved, tens of thousands Russians killed and injured, Snake Island abandoned, Crimea being targeted, the Black Sea fleet withdrawn and rendered ineffective by Western anti ship missiles, the Russian Flag ship sat at the bottom of the ocean, installed puppet leaders being assassinated on a daily basis, Russian generals being killed or replaced and Russian military hardware being exposed as rubbish. Probably 40 years behind the west.
Maybe they'll just talk about how to subdue their own population or lock away political opponents. Can't wait for the new world order they both crave.
