That's not going to help things one bit. It should be postponed atm.

    Truth is just a point of view tbh.

    Finland has a history with Russia, can't blame them for wanting to join now that things have got violent.

    The Russian people have been told the invasion was necessary and unfurtunately the majority believe it, for now, the truth always comes out eventually.

    A much larger conflict is inevitable at this stage anyway, let Finland join Nato ASAP. That Russian dictator shouldn't be allowed to dictate what any other country does.

    I think it’s a tremendous mistake leaving Kiev so completely unprotected

    despite the Russians’ apparent Full Regrouping on eastern front .

    That video I posted : the last 5 minutes of it gives me the creeps / other than

    the whole video being concerning .

    Leaving Kiev so openly exposed ( ‘cause the Russians ‘pulled back’ / were routed ) ,

    now Ukraine fully focusing on Donbas et al. Only , alarms me .

    Putin’s confidence disturbs me .

    What better tactic than to draw off your opponent as it’s happening , them

    leaving the Other front naked ?

    We see the Russian Army in tatters - right .

    Still , Putin’s confidence leaves me sleepless : I hope he’s just deluded and

    not demented — there are still weapons in the arsenal that the Media conveniently

    have forgotten to talk about ..
    I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.

    Splitting your forces is a classic and common military mistake.

    The Russians have clearly made that mistake. The reason they did was that Putin genuinely believed that in Eastern Ukraine his troops would be welcomed.
    With the Russian forces widely dispersed they made easy targets for small units of the Ukrainian army.

    The Russians are now concentrating their forces on a small area. The Ukrainians will similarly need to concentrate theirs if they are to have any chance. They cannot afford to be spread thinly over a wide area.
    The Ukrainians could now find the roles reversed where they are suffering the problems of logistics that the Russians suffered.

    Anyway. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the Austrian Chancellors meeting with Putin. Maybe it could be the start of face to face dialogue between Putin and more West leaders.
