Desperate putin

We are now entering day 66 of the 'special military operation' to take Kyiv in two days. That pretence has been a humiliating failure, so I expect that the neurotic liar putin will formally declare war on Ukraine in the next week or two.

This will allow him to declare martial law, force all current conscripts to remain in the army for as long as he wants, and introduce nationwide conscription. This will make it easier for the war criminal putin to hide the 23,000 dead russian soldiers that he and his criminal clique still won’t acknowledge.

He will also be able to nationalise foreign holdings in russia. Frankly, those Western corporations still operating in russia [i]deserve[/i] to lose their assets there.

The resultant surge of patriotism among the barbarian population will help him to divert attention from the shortages and difficulties caused by the sanctions. The russian thieves have just stolen hundreds of thousands of tonnes of grain from Ukraine. The russians say щи да каша пища наша (cabbage soup and gruel are our food), but apparently they’re hanging out for bread and alcohol instead... or perhaps the russian looters are running out of washing machines and laptops to steal.

The pretext will probably be attacks on russian apartment blocks or some such ‘outrage’... in reality, carried out by the russian FSB (again!)

@gdon39 Ukrainian estimates... which are noticeably less than NATO estimates (to my surprise)
