Nobody interested in the Russia-Ukraine conflict?

Supposedly the Russian army is hiding the amount of casualties by burying their own soldiers in mass graves and reporting them as missing.

I listened to some fb watch videos that said Russian soldiers were shooting themselves in order to be injured enough to be shipped back home as cargo “300,” - wounded, and then not have to join the fight. Some are shooting each other for this reason, some others are shooting and killing themselves instead, and some are shooting their commanding officers.

Looks like morale is pretty low and they’re getting out of this any way they can - while also using social media to warn others not to come join the war.

None of this can be good for Russia’s plans to replenish the front lines or make any further major attacks.

..unless putin decides to start pressing buttons. Never know. Apparently he has some kind of blood cancer and is undergoing some kind of surgery that necessitates putting his second in command in charge temporarily. If the guy is dying, and Also crazy thanks to his mind + disease + medications etc, then ya never know.. he might just be crazy enough to do it. If so, then the big question is is whoever receives that command crazy enough to carry it out… ?

There`s alot of war propaganda coming from both sides that you have to be careful of. Even a site i initially recommended back in feb - live map ukraine, i found is run by two Ukrainians so not to be trusted with map accuracy & news for an impartial view of the military progress.

I found another site Defense Politics Asia ( a Singapore based site ) that seems more impartial just slightly pro Ukrainian but to be more trusted about accuracy. Propaganda is all well & good for morale but i prefer to know what`s really going on.

Russians are far less powerful than they appear. They did not manage to assassinate Zelensky. He's not hiding, he's doing his job with additional protection. There are likely anti-nuclear bunkers in Kyiv, back from Cold War era, it would have been reasonable to have them restored. It's likely the president uses them every time there's a missile alarm, I think he was there 24/7 when fights were active around Kyiv.
Lots of Western leaders have traveled to Kyiv and met with Zelensky in the meantime. He's there.

The chain from "red button" to an actual launch is long for technical reasons. There are no automatic launchers. The warheads are stored separately from the missiles. There are a lot of technicians required even if the command chain was completely bypassed.

Oh, Russia is definitely very dangerous, I think we are seeing a very obvious proof for it.
Their actual might... I think it varied over time a lot, while a facade of a superpower was always maintained.

i sure hope they don't have a computerized "doomsday machine" like what was played for dark laughs in "dr. strangelove."
