  Russia is about to default on their debt. The Ruble is worthless. ATM's are running out of cash. They aren't allow to buy microchips anymore. They've had 1000's of casualties and lost hundreds of pieces of military equipment. Russia has arrested thousands of protestors in a country that had mostly given up on large-scale protests. This is not good for Putin, even if Ukraine gives up tomorrow.

    I have always been skeptical about the info war machine on both sides regarding this. It took about ten days for the Taliban to retake over most cities without real resistance. Ukraine is far better equipped though small compared to the Russian army. Our guage of Russian progress will be very different to theirs. They might not even be expecting a full take over for weeks
