Six Observations Over The Ukraine-Russia War

 1.  I watch a minimum of five clips a day....of tank destruction and general combat via YouTube.  This is the most unique war ever fought because of the Ukraine recon capability with these drones and the ability to deliver munitions onto a loitering target.  The Russians aren't so much as losing....as they are simply making mistake after mistake.  

2.  Spring offensive?  Probably within 4 weeks....it will start.  Some people think another quarter-million Russian conscripts will arrive and influence this to some degree.  There's a belief of 50-to-60 thousand Ukrainian troops in some training program currently....will be cut loose and given tank support to counter the Russians.

3.  In the past month, I'd say at least ten different sources have noted economic problems going on in Russia, with the regular consumer now feeling a 'pinch'.

4.  Based on video, I'd say the entire southeastern front is pretty much destroyed....either by the Russians or the Ukrainians, and I don't think anyone much will be living there for the next twenty years.

5.  At some point a month ago....the British military were figuring several hundred Russians were dying daily.  Bodies being taken back to Russian?  Some reports indicate yes....but I would imagine at least 10,000 dead have not been admitted to relatives or wives.  

6.  If you look at the Russian military and the Wagner contractor 'troops'....it's not a friendly situation anymore between the two.
