Read and consider a long thread posted yesterday by @igorsushko about the planning and conduct of Putin’s war on Ukraine.
It’s based reportedly on the insights of an FSB analyst who was involved at some level in preparing for the Russian Army’s invasion of Ukraine.
Obviously, many say this account isn’t genuine, it’s a fabrication, etc. Who can know? It’s the fog of war. Everyone has to decide whether they believe it’s authentic.
From this observer’s perspective, it rings true.
What follows are the best parts edited and consolidated.
Putin’s plan to invade Ukraine was kept secret from everyone.
The FSB’s analysis seemed to be a check-the-box exercise and it had to come out favorably for Russia. It contained no clue as to the depth and effect of Western sanctions.
The Russian Army’s KIA might be 2,000 but it’s probably closer to 10,000. It’s lost contact with two entire divisions. Of 20 paratroop “groups” deployed, only one had even provisional success.
Russia has proven utterly incapable of supporting its invasion force with supplies. Its roads can’t accommodate logistical convoys. With the Turkish straits closed to Russia, it can’t supply its force in Syria. For Russia, airlifts are akin to “heating up the oven with cash.”
It cannot possibly occupy Ukraine; it would need a force of 500,000. Moscow can’t find a Quisling to run the country on its behalf. And Putin can’t declare a general mobilization. It would cause an economic, political, and social explosion in Russia. There could be a political battle along anti-war and pro-war lines. The only way for Putin to keep control is to “tighten the screws” on his own people.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian resistance grows stronger. Ukrainians now hate Russians as much as the Chechens did in two wars. Though Putin is wantonly destroying major Ukrainian cities, they will be kept alive by humanitarian convoys arriving from the West.
Putin thought war against Ukraine would be a 100-meter dash; it turned out to be a marathon.
Putin doesn’t have an “off ramp” and has no options for victory. He faces the prospect of more losses. It’s like the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 when Tsarist Russia thought it would easily defeat the Japanese. But the Russian Army found itself in a state of calamity.
In economic terms, Putin’s deadline is June, by then there will nothing left of Russia’s economy. Finance Ministry efforts are like plugging holes in a ship with your fingers.
If Putin threatens war unless sanctions are lifted or rattles his nuclear weapons, it’s just a tactic to scare the West.
The SVR is sowing the media with false allegations that Ukraine is building its own nuclear weapons.
Somewhere in the chain of command, someone will refuse Putin’s order to go nuclear. Putin might not even give the order because self-preservation is his main goal

This text makes visible the common characteristics between the Russia officials group and the West-china officials group.
As in the past communist countries, a communist ideology does not and will not avoid the distruction of the individuals
(financially, phisically, economically, see their proprietary corona capsules and approaches).
The only big preparations were to produce a corona hipnosiss toward the officials groups.
For stopping these officials groups, we must demand, bu protests, the stopping of the armed conflict.
War is stupid and crazy unless it is for self defense. Nobody wins. Putin did what he did because he knows Obiden and his handlers will not do anything; they’re too busy trying to destroy a country too…OURS !
