I don't know much, if anything, about Russia's current arsenal other than the large nukes, and even that's probably not current. But I did hear talk from DoD about Russia having more tactical nukes than us. That was few years back though.

I have no official source so take it as you want - Azovstal no surrender the plant would be razed to the ground with vacuum bombs.
Rip Rawlings who leads a 'volunteer' group who call themselves The Dirty Dozen uploading footage from Kiev, he doesn't seem to remember/care
that putting footage online is not allowed and can get you arrested:
James Vasquez wants you to support The Dirty Dozen!
Also James Vasquez: We just got bombed.
... and he's also not going to tweet for a while because couch quarterbacks.
Edit: Yesterday he told his followers to also follow his mother in law; last time I saw she had around 6000 followers...
... about 24 hours later she deleted her account. In the comments some people commented that they doxxed her.
I have no idea what to think about this James Vasquez dude. Some think he's a glowy but I think he's too stupid for that.
Maybe without knowing it a useful idiot used as a front man of an organization that uses him as propaganda because he's a US citizen? to rake in money?

I have a feeling the SBU is going to pay these """saboteurs""" a visit very soon. What the fuck are they thinking?

Do these guys do anything other than sit around Kiev collecting Paypal money that could otherwise go to real charities? Seen about zero evidence they've ever been in action.
The idiot also doxxed his parents' house in Florida, and I imagine the Russian mafia would be interested in visiting them.

Interesting to see Clearview back in the news. I have no idea why people seem to be sleeping so hard on this terrifying company. From that article (and said completely with a straight face):
"Well-intentioned technology" for a global image/metadata store that can track people and comprehensively dox anyone in seconds from a photograph. Did these faggots not watch Person of Interest back when it was airing?

About an hour to go on this, no signs of any white flags as far as I can tell
Also, if this happens, I wonder what Recipient-of-Z-man will try to get out of it.

Sick of hearing and reading about nukes.
Putin should nuke an obscure trashcan somewhere, then we can move onto the realigned Overton window.

Nukes are too mainstream. Dropping some VX on Moscow is where it's at.

Remember those stories about how America only banned slavery or lyncing in 201X or whatever?
Sometimes you'll find laws in the books that date from before the Civil War and not only are they not enforced but federal law superceedes it. But for symbolic reasons (and because government has people with nothing better to do all day) these laws are struck down. Shit, there's a law, or there used to be, in some Southern state in which women can't get vibrators without a medical perscription. Literally nobody cared and the law wasn't enforced. It's perfectly possible for laws to go unenforced due to their age or lack of political will.
If you want to take shots at the political banning of opposition parties at least come up with something better than the exact same type of legal interpretation that has Karens scream about how slavery is legal in some state/America is awful for only banning slavery in 2012 or something.

Here is my two cents on the current situation.
The Ukrainian defence has been pretty on point. They've been effective, competent and have applied their resources smartly and that's been key to them surviving this far but they are not wining. The problem is that they are heavily reliant on their allies for aid and if that aid stops or is even just disrupted for a sufficient enough time then they are going to be in a bad spot. It's unlikely that the Russians are going to attack any of the aid coming into the country, as that would be a massive escalation on a global scale but that doesn't mean that the aid is always going to flow.
Western nations are facing very real problems at home. Between COVID, inflation, immigration and political unrest, it's not difficult to see this war fall out of favour with the wider public. Many of these governments are in uncertain waters and there's a large contingent in these countries that want to deescalate and return to the status quo and the easiest way to achieve that is to pull back on support to Ukraine, let the Russians do their thing and just deal with the humanitarian crisis with some minor sanctions.
The Baltics and Poles are going to continue to support the Ukrainian war effort but are hamstrung by NATO and their own defence considerations. The US and UK seem content to follow this though to the bitter end. Both nations see Russia as a very real threat so if they can harm the Russian military in a proxy war then so much the better and they are both isolated geographically and economically enough that they don't really care about the status quo like the Germans do.
So Ukraine isn't wining this war, tens of thousands are dead, millions have been displaced and it's economy is in dire straits, it's a war that's being fought exclusively in Ukraine after all and it'll take decades to recover from this.
Ukraine is only half of the equation though and just because they aren't winning doesn't mean the Russians are. Really, the Russian performance has been pretty bad, from logistical issues to both unprofessionalism and frankly incompetence, they have show that the mighty Russian military has a very soft belly. The problems are almost too numeral to even count but most of them seem to be centred around poor discipline, poor maintenance and poor training. They've failed to achieve many of their objectives to the point that they've resorted to the age old tactic of just redefining what those goals where.
All of this would just be egg on the face of Russia if it hadn't come with some very real consequences. Firstly, the Russian military is in shambles at the moment, what they attacked with was what they had and those losses aren't going to be replaced any time soon. It's easy to look at a Wiki article about the Russian, see some big numbers and come to the conclusion that they've got the size to just absorb these losses but they don't. Most of the conscripts and reservists are unfit, ill trained and all that armor has been siting an a Siberian swamp for the last 30 to 40 years.
The second issue is the sanctions. They've been cut off from a very important market that they can't just replace with China or India. An example of this would be precision tooling or advanced optics. So they can't even rebuild all that armor even if they wanted to. They still have access to European energy markets but this war has bought a keen and critical eye to that arrangement.
And thirdly, they've damaged their international standing. Russia has show it's self to be belligerent and unreasonable. It's spooked it's neighbours and driven many of them deeper into the Western camp. They outright lied to several Western leaders faces (more fool them for even believing the Russians) and shown that Putin is completely untrustworthy.
Russia is still a massive county and I can't ever see this war effecting Russia the way it has Ukraine, nor can I see Russia giving up the territory it's held since 2014. There is more that could to be said about this situation, about how toothless the response from the EU has been and what this means (if anything) for similar conflicts around the world but that's a discussion for another time.
This has been a very sorry state of affairs and I have sympathy for most of the people involved in this, even the Russians. I don't want to see thousands of young men march off to their deaths in some pointless war in another post Soviet hell hole.

For over 30 years the hatred towards Russians in Ukraine was purposedly cultivated as an official government policy, with concerted efforts of state propagandist media, ministry of education (you should see some of the children's books they published, and I posted a video of schoolchildren chanting "death to muscovites" earlier in the thread) and cheering approval from the EU (via Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and the usual suspects).
If these yapping muppets are gone, the relationship will be repaired in less than 10 years because it is Russia that will be rebuilding the captured territories, and if Crimea and Grozny are any indication, the money flow will be generous. Japan and Germany aren't particularly mad at the US over Hiroshima and Dresden.
If the current trend continues - and I have a feeling that it will - Ukraine will remain Europe's rabid dog straining at the leash to have another go at the bear forever. Which is EU, US and NATO's intention anyway.
Grozny before and after.

Bonus bad take:
How do you do, Fellow Germans?
Say... how about another war with Russia but this time to, uh, prevent genocide?This isn't just some rando who doesn't even have a blue checkhole either, he's part of the international bugman NGO class, which acts as the modern equivalent of courtiers / Grima Wormtongues to the powerful:
Experienced Office Director with a demonstrated history of working in the think tanks industry. Skilled in Partnerships, Politics, Economic and Security Issues, Human Rights and International Business Consulting. Strong community and social services professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused on Political Science.
I sure hope he doesn't get flash-fried to a radioactive, yet greasy, stain on the office wall in an ironic twist of fate!

War, what is it good for?
— Tell me, which side?
— Ukrainian.
— Do you need help?
— I don't have a leg.
— You got no leg, got it. Come here, quickly! Were you in this tank that blew up or in that one.
— That one.
— Which division?
— I don't know.
— Huh?
— I don't know.
— Doc is on his way.
Poor lad. Left in the mud with only pain and resignation in his eyes.
Tank battle near Izyum.
I know mixing a joke with such a grim post or rather repost is in bad taste.
Nonetheless, a joke from Mariupol:
