So with those massive military convoys heading towards the major cities of Ukraine, this is where the fun begins.

The Russians have a historical trend that goes something like this:
Step 1: Send forces Ad Hoc into the city to try to take it "on the march."
Step 2: If the above fails, encircle the city and then send a heavy force into the city to "blitz" the defenses and take the city without too much damage.
Step 3: If the above meets dug in resistance, blow the city to shit with heavy artillery, direct fire support, and air support. Then attempt to re-enter the city in force.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 as necessary.

They scale this down as necessary. Take everything but a few city blocks very quickly on the march? Blow that city block apart and try again. Got a single building giving trouble? Don't send in infantry to dig them out, hit it with a few thermobarics.

Hey now. We never signed onto that.
 
I think nazis are more popular than Russia at the moment
I never thought I'd see that happen! If so then Vlad has done the impossible.
Can't have the peasants get their facts from non-approved sources. It's dangerous to the truth.
I deliberately seek out non-approved sources because I assume that the approved ones are big liars.
 
Some of the statements are wrong. His approval rating is pretty high in is own country and his standing up to globohomo now also gaining him points worldwide.
Standing up to globohomo doesn't gain him anything. No one powerful is supporting him and he's burned bridges with almost anyone sympathetic in the West who are reduced to "let's not go to war." His own people will mostly turn on him once they face the crippling economic sanctions.
IT was a gamble but not really: he had to do it but it is too soon to tell.
Yes it was a gamble, but an insanely dangerous one which has overreached. If Putin had settled at expelling Ukraine from Donetsk and Lugansk and kept them independent before their incorporation, he'd face nowhere near the international force. He'd even have a chance to win Ukrainian hearts and minds. But he wanted it all. And all he's going to get is the economic crippling of his own country and a shitty satellite state that will constantly revolt whenever it needs to. Although hey, Putin is old, he'll die soon, that'll be someone else's problem.

It's disappointing he's the best enemy of NATO and the global order that exists now, because he's not very good at the game either, and he's reduced to silly copying of the US in Iraq in 2003 plus the Soviets in Prague/Budapest back in the day.
 
That'll just piss people off, in fact they'll support Putin more, or start to support him, if it means ticking off annoying Reddit shitheads.

Reminds me of that time the Guardian newspaper in the UK started a campaign for British lefties to call random households in this one swing electorate in Ohio to get them to vote against Bush and it went for republicans in a landslide
 
True they could have just banned faggots from adopting their kids.
Yeah but Russians would rather posture for political points than actually do something remotely productive. It was before the Gay Propaganda Law too, so fagbashing wasn't on a political menu yet.

btw, a sizeable chunk of Russian top bureaucrats is clandestine faggots.
