[TexasTowelie]

CNN's Clare Sebastian reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin's 2023 New Year's address was very different from previous years, while retired Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton predicts that Russian President Vladimir Putin is going to redouble attacks on Ukraine civilian infrastructure with the hope of reaching a stalemate in the war.

1. Another possible scenario:

UKR begins a counteroffensive by bombing inside Russia— targeting… infrastructure.

3. Russia did invade a peaceful country n they need to fight back

Offensively, too. It’s been 10 months and Russia, from the beginning, targeted civilians.
I hope they fight back n hit straight into their stockpiles and sensitive areas.
Today, I went to celebrate my friend’s bday..on the way, I came up on a big truck that had a poster on the back...I Stand With Ukraine w/ the flag as the background. Then another poster w/ a site for more info n donations. I loved it. First time I’ve seen it..next time I’m gonna be more aware n slow down to get the trucks info and check em out.

2. Look at the brainwashed cannon fodder behind the war criminal...

Hard to believe these peasants are all willing to die for that fascist asshole's delusions of grandeur.

4. Putin knows he will likely last only as long as his war does

because even the politically disconnected and powerless Russians are going to be pissed off as hell when the whole fantasy collapses into a pile of maimed bodies and shattered dreams and they're going to be looking for someone to blame. I think there is a real risk of a bloodbath there when they lose this war, which is why he's willing to cripple the country and destroy the military in order to keep it going. With losses averaging 600-700 killed per day just to achieve a stalemate, this war is not sustainable for any longer than it takes for an old man to run out his biological clock.

5. Zelensky needs to get Russian civilian's attention

by going after their infrastructure and oil refineries, leave enough of them in the dark and cold
it might start the ball rolling to oust Putler from power.
