It’s the Dailymail, they’re 90% nonsense, 10% good journalism by accident. They once said Putin threatened to drop the “father of all bombs” on Kiev.

Wasn't this one posted as a turret from Ukrainian T-64 couple of weeks ago?
It's Zhirinovsky's party, it's common for them to put forward insane proposals, so that everyone else can look sane by comparison. It's the same party that during the bird-flu scare demanded that all anti-aircraft units are moved to border and shoot down all migratory birds.
United States postulates Ukraine may have more operational tanks in theater then the Russians at the moment
A Russian media outlet in a now deleted VK post reportedly claimed a large number in Russian casualties.

Pretty good breakdown on the long term implications of the boring but most important parts of a war. EG: Stockpiles, Industry, Economics ect.

I feel like Russia's fallen flat on its face in that regard. The war just hasn't gone as quickly as they wanted and there is a genuine possibility of defeat. Given Russia's resources that shouldn't be possible, but here we are.

I don't think the US or Europe currently has the political will to seriously supply Ukraine for the long haul beyond token effort.

With the closing of the straight I believe the naval front of this conflict in the black sea has effectively ended for the foreseeable future.
A sixteen and seventeen year old pair of Brothers escaped Mariupol, narrowly avoiding being forcibly pressed into service by the Russian military after proving they were under 18.

The longer the conventional war goes the easier any occupation gets if only because all of the fighting age males will be dead.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Anyone know how to read it? No shit there's US resources to train them but I'd like to know what's in the translation.
As the "FM 2-19.4" label on the top right corner indicates, this is simply a translated U.S. field manual -- FM 2-19.4 is "Brigade Combat Team Intelligence Techniques". This is far from "secret"; the Army Publishing Directorate page has it categorized as "Controlled Unclassified Information", i.e. something that isn't classified or secret, but which they don't freely distribute to the general public.
In other words -- you can't get it from the Army without an official login, but you can literally buy it on Amazon for $3.99.

Plus it’s from 2009 so I doubt the army keeps track of manuals that old
That's going to be two or three editions old -- per the Army Publishing Directorate index page, the current edition is 2021 and the previous edition was 2015.
If anyone is curious, I found an online PDF of the 2008 edition posted on FAS.org. It's not espionage stuff, it's brigade level tactical intelligence.

Well the coup was in 2014, so maybe they are just old because they were delivered before the 2015 editions?
Rest in Peace Colonel Vladimir Kovalenko, killed in Mariupol. Apparently a leader in the Seperatist DNR Ministry of "Internal Affairs."
