Igor commented on the situation in Bakhmut and Avdiivka. He once again derides the Russian army and Wagner for their failure to capitalize on the existing situation and reiterates that Wagner is militarily exhausted. The situation in Avdiivka is essentially minimally changed if it changed at all. Finally, no strategic-level successes were attained in the disastrous winter offensive.

Outdated tanks are still better than no tanks. This is the same principle that's behind the planned delivery to Ukraine of Leopard 1 tanks.

Well yes, to a point. In some situations. If my enemy has only small arms, then I'll be very happy in my T-62, but if they have any kind of anti-tank weaponry then I'm just presenting them with a very obvious and easy target.

Also I'd say that the Leopard 1A5s Ukraine is getting will probably be a lot more relevant than any "modernized" T-62s Russia rolls out. There's grift in the western MIC for sure, but the chances are pretty small that whatever general was placed in charge of modernizing the Leopards used the money to build himself a summer house and just glued on some cardboard to make it look like they were uparmored. Instead the tanks probably were modernized and have usable optics and other upgrade packages, and just cost way too much and the general got kickbacks and a cushy ceremonial position with a big paycheck from whoever made those packages.

Would I rather be in a Leopard 2A6? Absolutely. Would I be happier in a Leopard 1A5 than a modernized T-62? Yes 100%.

Pooh will probably push some peace plan that lets Russia keep territory they stole, Zelensky will reject it and Pooh will decry how he tried to push for peace but the war mongering west are pushing too hard to continue the war.

Or it's a heads up that China is planning on retaking those areas they renamed in Russia recently

Germans seem pretty happy to just use Das interchangeably where English speakers would say either "this" or "that", even though separate words for them do exist when they care to make the distinction.

Ammo shortages across the front have reached such levels now, that Wagners, never mind the unfortunate mobiks, hardly have enough ammo for their rifles. This milblogger is seething so hard about it he doesn't understand how this could be possible, citing sabotage as his belief why things are so dire. At least he understood the artillery shell shortage was because this bunch of idiots decided to fire off half of everything they had last year, while the other half got demilitarized by drones, artillery, and HIMARS. And finally he's so turned around he says he doesn't know what to do or who to approach to help remedy their circumstances. I'm thinking a golden opportunity is there to be had soon for Ukraine. :getin:

Honestly this video doesn't look in any way weird.

Yeah maybe Putin is gripping the table because he has a debilitating neurological disease or whatever but also maybe that is just a thing he subconsciously does with his hands. I do all kinds of things with my hands during meetings and I'm not dying from Parkinsons or whatever.

Also yeah the paper in Khadirov's hands is shaking a little bit, it could be because he is nervous but some people just have shaky hands.

People are desperately overanalyzing the tiniest details in these videos hoping these guys are terrified or dying, and I hope they're right, but it is far more likely the explanations are completely banal and unimportant.

I think they're probably keeping their options open with carrots and sticks for both sides. It would be very convenient to China if the war ended and also a big feather for their cap if they got to play peacemaker, and the exact shape of the peace is probably a secondary consideration.

Xi is just going to tell Z that he should want peace and therefore give massive concessions to Russia. Xi can then boast that he tried to broker peace and at the same time make Z look unreasonable for not making the kind of concessions that would enrage China.

It's really a no-win for Ukraine since the end result of talking to Xi or snubbing him is, "Ukraine is being unreasonable".

I think Xi is gonna play both sides of the fence here, I suspect he doesn't really want to align with a broken and slowly ground down Russia and see's a chance to gain from this.
