Moscow says it will keep pushing its offensive in Ukraine, though NATO doubts Russia has the resources to make a significant breakthrough.

NATO’s top military officer has said Russia’s armed forces are incapable of any major advance.

“The Russians don’t have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough,” NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli told reporters on Thursday.

“More to the point, they don’t have the skill and the capability to do it; to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage,” the general said.

    For Ukraine’s sake, I really hope someone diposes Putin in a coup

    Yeah you don’t want that, the second biggest party is the communists, but from what I hear they’re not really communists, just boomers nostalgic for the USSR.

    The nationalists waiting in the wings to seize power are even more psychotic than Putin.

    The liberals are a distant 4th want to bring back the 90s, which created the conditions that got us here.

    The communists would maintain the war for the same reasons the Putin does

    The nationalists would make it 10x worse

    The libs might end the war, but would definitely immiserate all of Russia again so the nationalists have an easier time recruiting.
