There're a million different ways to explain the Russian convoys and abandoned/destroyed equipment that you see in these bite-sized clips, especially so when they're put out by Ukrainian PR.

Many of us have already posited so many scenarios from the fast op tempo of Russian advancement necessitating abandoning non-functional equipment; to staging the same abandoned/destroyed column from different angles/locales to make it look like it is happening everywhere; to using old war footage and pass it off as current; to downright faking friendly losses as the enemy's either by painting over it/using digital manipulation or straight-up lying... it goes on and on.

Or you could just apply Occam's Razor and go with the assumption that the Russian forces are grossly mismanaged, and there's certainly evidence to support that, too.

We're 10 days into the war, but it goes without saying the fog of war very much still applies.

Easy way to tell the Ukrainians have been... Embellishing the convoy losses, is what they report in actual materiel losses.

According to what the Ukrainians reported yesterday, Russians lost 269 tanks, 409 cars and 60 fuel tankers. Now given the pictures we're seeing, one of three things is happening: 1. They're massively over-reporting Russian tank losses, 2. They're MASSIVELY under-reporting Russian truck losses, or 3. the people taking pictures and videos walk right past columns of burning tanks, because they have a massive hard-on for reporting trucks instead.

Oh well ... the former genius has spoken again! ... sometimes it's really not that hard to understand why the West is seen so much critically all over the world! o_O

This is so dumb. I've got a much better idea.

1) Get the F-22s pilots to "pretend" defect to the PRC.
2) After the defection, China will flaunt their newest toys by sending them to Aviadarts competition in August.
3) Once the F-22s are in Russian air space and loaded for the competition, they can launch decapitation strikes against Kremlin directly, ending the Putin threat once and for all.
4) After they've completed their mission the planes can supercruise back to the base in Alaska.

I can't believe people are actually falling for this.

Or, task an Ohio to sail to China and tell them to pull a Red October -
Once the boat is in Chinese waters, Captain Marcus Ramon broadcasts his intention to defect and an invitation for a Chinese boarding party;
Launch nukes at Russia and then perform emergency dive;
The boat glides quietly up the Columbia River. Anchors Aweigh is heard playing in the background.

An ex-president clown saying stupid things?
You can find nuggets of wisdom even in the most unlikely of places.

A bunch of people are actually worried China will get maximum benefit out of a weakened Russia in dire need of an economic partner. There's going to be a reckoning, and an attempt to make this as costly as possible for China, India and other countries.

If the sanctions aren't effective enough, expect more hysteria and harsher measures.
