It is and I was wrong, I'm happy to say. 😉
Fortunately my Mother taught me  not to gamble. 😀

Is it time to talk now?
 

A little offtopic maybe. But today there is 41 NATO ships (from 14 different NATO members) in Stockholm, plus several Swedish ships, and submarines. Most inpressive is the 844 ft (257 meters) USS Kearsarge, and the 610 ft (190 meters) USS Gunston Hall. And the guided missile Destroyers USS Porter, and HMS Defender (the later Britsh). 
No need to google translate. Just look at the pictures. https://cornucopia.se/2022/06/fredagsmys-natoflottan-har-siktats-i-stockholm-missa-inte/

"Look! We're firing our guns, therefore we are winning!"
Thats some Kadyrovite level copium right there.
...
Speaking of over-equipped fashionistas, I read recently Kadyroviskis were "leading" the fight into Sieverodonetsk. I'm truly curious of their actual combat ability if forced into a real battler; by which I mean, in a slow siege like Marioupol, there's plenty of down time. But Sieverodonetsk is extremely dangerous right now, which is very much not the K's vibe, yet the Russian push to the front is relentless and I doubt even the Chechens can get away with fobbing off.
So if push really does come to shove, can these camouflaged 'grammers actually fight?

That exact sentence in that exact article is what I was thinking of. The Russians HAD to be slowed down so the artillery and everything else could have the time to work. Without that initial blunting of their momentum the Russian bum's rush excuse for a plan very well might have worked. At least well enough to displace the the Ukrainian government from Kyiv.  

Russia continues the odd practice of showing its forces missing targets.
Unfortunately they don't always miss.
 

1. of course, Crimea is Ukrainian
2. it won't change. They don't consider Ukraine a country, but their territory that got invaded by Ukrainian untermenschen that must be exterminated and replaced with russians. What are they going to do? Invade us?
3. Crimea is Ukrainian territory. So everybody that came there after 2014 will be kindly asked to leave. Yes we have toilets and yes those are nice, but those aren't yours and they still have their legit owners that had to leave. Just save some money and buy your own back home. The rest may have a say after every single russian soldier is made to not be there.

I hope you're right, Steve.  For the sake of Ukraine, first and foremost.
But also for the sake of the Russian and Siberian and Caucasian kids whose lives are being thrown away so wantonly by an evil elite that views them as cattle.
History, of course, suggests things could drag on, against all sense and reason, for much longer than we think....

Even Comrade Lenin underestimated both the anguish of that 900 mile long front, and our cursed capacity for suffering. 
... But of course this is not the old Russia, with infinite numbers of hardy peasant boys to fling into the firing line.
Also, the Ukrainians are every bit as hardy, and fighting much smarter.

Personnel roster for the DNR's 1st Battalion, 111th Rifle Regiment (I think), from which we can derive the organization in part.  7-man rifle sections.  Be sure to check the birth dates on some of these mobiks.
 

The Japanese company making miniature Russian soldiers can make some miniature tanks based on this image. 
 

Perun must've seen this one coming. 🤣
 

AMAZING film from helmet camera. The same some shows fotos from a few replies back.

A joke I saw a week ago elsewhere.
Russian mother calls her son, finds out he's in Ukraine.
"Why are you there?" she asks.
"It's a special military operation."
"A war? Will you be ok?"
"No mother, a special military operation. It's a proxy war between Russia and NATO, not a real war."
"Oh, that's good to hear," she says, "how's it going?"
"Well," he replies, "so far we've had 20,000 casualties, lost 1200 tanks and several thousand other armoured and military vehicles, had a cruiser sank and lost most of our officers."
"Oh," said his mother, "That doesn't sound too promising. How is NATO doing?"
"They haven't turned up yet."
