The Russian effort has slowed, which I fear means terrible thing i.e. to speed things up they may start to level areas of resistance.
Russia will do whats necessary.
Thanks to sanctions Russian oligarchs will be forced to transact its mineral wealth via China on terms favourable to the Chinese. That in itself is a big win for the Chinese.
A prospect Russian oligarchs will find particularly repugnant since it will severely limit their returns.
Frankly, I suspect Putin's days are numbered. A new Russian leader will likely emerge restoring the détente with the west.
But then China won't just inherit the Oligarch, but also the rubble pile that used to be Russia Economy....And it will take a lot of effort to restore it, seeing this is the endgame for Putin to get out of the economy woe he made during the last 10 years.Thanks to sanctions Russian oligarchs will be forced to transact its mineral wealth via China on terms favourable to the Chinese.

that's f***ed, bloodthirsty and racist
I know youre joking but things are escalating quickly now, if tactical nukes starts flying then Nuclear Armageddon is God forbid, inching closer to a reality. Not a single corner on earth will remain untouched.

Till now , Russians have been very careful to not cause civilian casualties. Ukrainians didn't give in infact they are piggy backing on NATO... I hope Russians pulverize them ...
Please fire the nukes.. I wanna see white people go boom boom
In my opinion, there is only one strategy that works in such a situation, and it is not go-slow/medium-in-the-hopes-of-a-rival-government-capitulating-when-it-has-global/Western-support in $$$/arms/diplomacy.
The only thing that could have worked was a 2-day blitz all the way to Kiev with the latest weaponry and overwhelming shock & awe deployed. Giving time for them to get re-armed with sophisticated anti-tank/air weaponry and economic aid while you get pummeled by sanctions and cyber warfare isn't a great strategic move.
Even now, I think the dial should be turned straight to 10, and all the best Russian armaments and units (under the nuclear threshold) should come into play in spectacular fashion for a 1-2 day cutting off and taming of the capital.
In order to break the resistance in Kiev in a few days, 80% of the city must be destroyed (or massive military casualties). This means a complete dead end for Russia. What puppet government can they install after killing tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians?In my opinion, there is only one strategy that works in such a situation, and it is not go-slow/medium-in-the-hopes-of-a-rival-government-capitulating-when-it-has-global/Western-support in $$$/arms/diplomacy.
