Russian invasion of Ukraine

There was a theory I read recently regards Putin playing the long game and intentionality not rolling out the big guns against Ukraine, making it look like he cant even take them on and drawing in Europe based on the confidence they could swat Russia aside once they are tempted in. At that point all hell breaks loose and Russia throw everything they have held back at Europe which is much more than they have let be shown in Ukraine. I hope there is no basis to this but based on the lack of success and seemingly very aged and out of date equipment being used currently , surely that cant be all they have been stockpiling the last few decades?

From most analysis the only big guns they have left is nukes.

the fuel shortages are really kicking in. Hopefully will snowball very quickly. if accurate this is the shortage map as of 2 days ago. plenty of videos of large queues of cars are petrol stations.

If they keep hitting those refineries it will grind to a halt, no need to hit civilians just hit their pockets.

Yep. If they can keep this up hopefully the front lines will start to run out too which would completly cripple supply lines etc. This Autumn/Winter could be very decisive.

Did this "theory" have the word "conspiracy" in fron of it ?

My theory is that they just have shit armed forces and shit equipment.

NATO will know exactly what they have available, he’s using poor buggers for the meat grinder, he’s still doing war games in the north, they still have good equipment but I wonder how it’s maintained, they try anything against NATO it will be over swiftly and Putin knows this.

I think Putin needs it to justify full mobilisation and to cover the failure of the war in Ukraine which in around 100 days will have lasted as long as the Great Patriotic War.

When you say the Great Patriotic War, do you mean the one where they were allies with Hitler till he fucked them over? The cunts always seem to forget that part.

That’s the one :)

Right now their one week incursion into Ukraine is 100 odd days short of the time of Hitler fucking them over until Germany surrendered in 1945. Which to me is an insane stat.

A UK air tanker is currently over East Poland doing circuits at 26,000 FT, presumably refuelling NATO (or UK) fast jets.

No other obvious military aircraft showing it's position, so I wonder if the Ukraine F16's patrols get refuelled over Poland ? I doubt anyone would admit to it even if they did, but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised.

Today at one point there were 11 stratotankers in the air over Northern Europe and the baltics.

I think 3 were in the English Channel for cobra warrior tho.
