I've been quiet on the nuclear option cause I've been wrong a couple of times before in this thread... If Russia really is going to have their asses handed to them in the coming offensive, what options does Putin retain?
I think that they realised that making a nuclear threat every week was a bad look and wasn't getting them anywhere.I've been quiet on the nuclear option cause I've been wrong a couple of times before in this thread...

I think that they realised that making a nuclear threat every week was a bad look and wasn't getting them anywhere.
Personally I think that Putin is starting to worry more about internal existential threats to his leadership rather than external ones now. All his war chiefs are bickering and trying to blame each other, that's not a good place to be when you're paranoid about someone taking over.
Maybe Putin has a safe Belarusian successor waiting in the wings? Better to switch out the leadership while Putin is still able to. Belarus is still extremely useful to Russia.What are the odds Luk is suffering from a form of 'Nuclear Option'?
Like maybe the window gig was getting old?
I have a feeling that would be a sure fired way to kick off a revolution. Anyways the Russians seems to have confirmed the illness;Or maybe they will just be Russia now again.
~In late January, with his mercenary forces dying by the thousands in a fight for the ruined city of Bakhmut, Wagner Group owner Yevgeniy Prigozhin made Ukraine an extraordinary offer.
Prigozhin said that if Ukraine’s commanders withdrew their soldiers from the area around Bakhmut, he would give Kyiv information on Russian troop positions, which Ukraine could use to attack them.
lol, i don't believe it but lol
Thank you for posting this.Really interesting documentary
Reminds me of Battle for Sevastopol after real life female sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko (300+ kills):Really interesting documentary
Gotta say emerald is hotter even without the makeup!Reminds me of Battle for Sevastopol after real life female sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko (300+ kills):
This is what Ukraine needs, to pull in the Russian reserves into this battle. I think Ukraine will continue to put pressure on to try and get Russia to put more resources into Bakhmut.But it seems the Russians have responded to the Ukrainian encroachments by deploying some of their better troops to the area;
UK pledges lots more weaponry as have the Germans and French (presumably Italy too).
