Except more of it.
Yup. Which don't think would help Russia either to just throw more weight behind a already failing, catastrophic, and embarrassing front on Ukraine.

You don't double down on somthing that has already proven out of reach. At least not someone with a logical train of thought.

Well, they may consider it out of reach unless they put more resources into it. That, too, can be considered logical.
 
<removed, getting personal> I'll give you 1 the first to start with. Find three different sources on Russian military forces. Study each one and pick the differences with information than come to your conclusions. Now do that with every other subject you challenge and don't know the answers. 😏👍
I am basing on it on the initial incursions and the following subsequent adjustments to the battle. They are obviously fully committed and they are not achieving their goals. It is not logical that they would utilize this overwhelming military and weapons to achieve the adjusted and limited aims they now have in Ukraine. They have already used these weapons fairly significantly. so it is not a matter of Russian legal constraint.

You are the one making the argument that they have this overwhelming military power. So conversely you can search and provide the sources that shows Russian has a military of achieving the results you propose.

What to be gained by declaring war
The consensus is the only tool declaring war would give Putin would be the draft. That and mobilizing the Russian population to support the war.
They have already changed some press laws criminalizing speaking out against the war. They are also now changing a law that allows older service members to reenlist.

Forget it. You have no idea. Carry on in your pursuit of whatever and best of luck.
 
Your either lost in my statement or have no idea on the difference between current Russian claims and the rules and limits associated with that.
what are the difference you keep saying that but you only allude, never say what the difference are.

"Compare what they have used to what they have and that's your answer'"
What is the difference, what exactly does Russia have left to throw at Ukraine. I explained my rational, you might not agree with my conclusions. But you keep implying russia has so much military capability left to use in Ukraine. But you have no sources or even reason to support this assumption.
Maybe it would be better to simply agree to disagree rather than resort to disparaging statements,

I have stated several times for you to do homework before. Only then will you see the big picture. Direct questions to Director , as he has already replied to you. Obviously your not listening or understanding me, hence you should study your questions yourself. Totally agree to disagree . GOODLUCK.
 

Hunched over. Weird posture. Losing his train of thought. Looks to be in pain. And he's doing that thing with his leg again.

Damn I didnt even need to finish watching that to realize whatever his condition is its progressing quickly, he looks pretty fked imo, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
 
That's pretty much it. Russia is not some lawless wildland. They have laws they must follow, and calling this a "special action" or whatever means there are certain things they can not do. If they were to formally declare war, they have a lot more options at their disposal.
WMDs and all out cyber war on the West? That is not an option unless they want to skip right to WW3. That is the only option they haven’t resorted to yet likely due to ignored orders or Putin believing he is “winning”.

Even if Putin died, we still have a bunch of his enablers ready to take command. I wouldn’t be so quick to wish for his death. Could make things worse initially at least.

His death would at least serve one important purpose: it would give everyone else a convenient outlet for assigning blame. I came across an insightful comment recently: "In 10 years' time Russians will believe that Putin was a foreign agent sent by the insidious West to ruin Russia."

Also, I don't think the next guy would necessarily want to kick off his reign of terror by starting WW3. The problem with Putin is that he no longer has any future to look forward to.

There is a segment in USA NatSec OSINT which believes that disease is something we can celebrate.
I saw this in January 2020 with the first COVID-19 outbreaks and I was horrified.
Understand outrage and anger at dictators and enemies. That shouldn't bring us to their level of values.
The belief that once Putin is gone that automatically we will get a less vicious dictator in Russia is not yet proven by any facts beyond wishful thinking in the West. That doesn't mean we should not want Putin to step down, of course we should, but we also need to realize that there will need to be a negotiated settlement to end this horrible war, which may be the aggression and fault of Russia, but their perspective is still going to be different.

That's quite the predictable moral perspective to view the situation however that doesn't change my opinion that him dying overnight would more likely end the war sooner and trigger an off ramp for the next successor to take advantage of and bring Russia closer to rejoining the world community "one day in the future". Putin has managed to keep power this long due to his accumulated credibility as a notable stateman and rational minded leader on the world stage which of course has been dashed to hell by his latest venture no doubt inspired by his current condition and wishes to turn back the hands of time and insure his enshrinement as the second "father" of Russia before he kicks the bucket. No, thank you sir... I think I at least will celebrate his death even if it ushers in nuclear Armageddon.
 
an insightful comment recently: "In 10 years' time Russians will believe that Putin was a foreign agent sent by the insidious West to ruin Russia."
And this demonstrates the issue with USA IC and NatSec community.
It does not matter how illogical or irrational a theory might be: "Putin leading a war in Ukraine as a Western foreign agent to ruin Russia" fits right up there with the "9/11 conspiracy theories."
Regardless, if it helps the IC and NatSec IW narratives, we should consider it thoughtful and insightful.

And intelligence and NatSec communities genuinely see nothing wrong with this. Just like the NatSec geniuses talking about cyber war attacks on Russia in the White House thought they had a "secure" environment to brainstorm; most likely it was one of them who leaked it to NBC. Who cares about consequences for USA public anyways, which honestly is not their priority.

So what USA really needs to do is just change the names already and be candid: Not a DoD but a Department of War, not an "Intelligence Community" but "War Intelligence Community," not a "National Security" but "Foreign War Preparedness." It is what it is.

Because once we are honest about goals and intentions, then we can start legislation for actual defensive and security measures to protect the American people. Sure, let the War Department campaign for legislation and billions of funds for their goals, but let others also campaign for defensive organizations and measures to try to protect some of the American people too.

Lightbulb: Dead taxpayers don't fund war machines. We have 1 million less American taxpayers since 2020. Let's try and save some this year.
 
Because after all, why would we worry about "nuclear Armageddon?"
Thanks. You put it so much more clearly than I could possibly communicate.
And this will end war

what exactly are your specific suggestions to correct this besides renaming agencies.
What should we be funding.

Between 20-30% losses in Ukraine
30% of military units engaged in Ukraine are combat ineffective because of losses. Losses to armor losses to troops and losses to command and control.
Up to 65 % of there total military id committed to Ukraine and they still need to defend a large boarder region with the rest.
The only thing they can add of significance to the fight is conscription of troops.
I’ve searched legal constraints to Putin between sp military action and war declaration and it is basically conscription of troops.
I have answered it it.

What exactly can they do different besides conscription. They have already passed specific laws to limit press reporting and speaking out against the war.

The exact details I don't know off hand, but you are right that conscription would be one of them.
