Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (Official Thread)

I haven't but experts say they are building towards accepting the loss of Kherson.
From what I've read, the previous commander had asked for a long time to retreat as the situation was intenable for Russian forces but Putin asked them to stay as Kherson is extremely important as a symbol (same for Mariupol) and for Crimea.
They probably now see the writings on the wall and will likely retreat east of the Dniper river to freeze the positions for winter. This was always the logical solution tactically but Russian leadership was to irrational to accept it.

That sounds plausible, we'll see. Some war games have the US losing at least two aircraft carriers and a total of 500 planes, but do worse to the Chinese. I heard that from an interview with Mike Lyons. I'll have to dig it up, I think he is a pragmatic source, but this says the same
‘A bloody mess’ with ‘terrible loss of life’: How a China-US conflict over Taiwan could play out - Breaking Defense
Early results from a DC think tank's wargame suggest the US would prevail in defending Taiwan from China, but at a heavy cost that would leave it ill-prepared for new threats from Russia or Iran.

In any event that just sounds like a complete shyt show on all sides.
I'm not the one talking all chickenshyt about some refugees and shook of Russia like it's a comic book boogeyman.
Neither am I.
Speaking as someone looking in from the outsoide, they are in an impossible situation. Russia is the guy who ran track in HS. Got married, had kids, beat them, got divorced and then decided to run a marathon. That's when he realizes he don't got the juice no more. Up until recently the Russian media just talked about the HS days and everyone loved it. But now they gotta watch him nurse a pulled groin, hamstring and lower back and all they can say is "How is this possible?"

at Russian expats collectively scouring the globe for electronics like a bunch of pale skinned Jawas.Other countries letting these bandits in like

Yeah, that's exactly what I would imagine. China knows they would be likely to lose that engagement, but might risk testing the waters on the assumption that the USA isn't willing to take those losses even if they know they would "win".
The U.S. has militarized dolphins all up in them waters. China has no answer for that.

This logic is stupid because until the occupied territories are freed through force of arms, Putin could literally do whatever the fukk he wants there. At this point in time they are occupied and "annexed" almost like a combination of what the Nazis did in Austria with the Anchluss, and what they did in France by propping up the puppet Vichy regime. The Allies didnt recognize Vichy France but lets not act like it didnt fukking exist, just like we shouldnt pretend like there arent THOUSANDS of Ukrainian traitors and collaborators with the Fascist Putinists cooperating and enabling this invasion.
Taiwan exists but China does not recognize it. China's economic power forces other countries to take the same stance even though it is it's own country. Even the U.S. tiptoes around it. Even though not recognizing an occupied area does not change who currently controls it, it does hurt the legitimacy of the claims.
They saying Iranian military is in Crimea helping with Drones. If true, incredible to think of the boots of Iranian personnel are in Europe.
