This is how the hegemon dies, by overplaying its hand...
And isn't the idiom "shit hits the fan"? How low must your ceiling be for shit to be hitting the roof

more on this Russian convey outside Kiev
either Russia has forgotten how to win land wars or Russia is allowing the Ukrainian to leave Kiev
once they have given enough time for Ukrainians to leave Kiev (which is next week) they will go in and Ukrainians left are assumed to go into battle then. So don't expect mercy as this will be expected to be brutal as in any battle, one of the toughest after WII
also I think they will send in the real troops not conscripts
Battle for Kiev will be bloody and I believe we have not seen the worst of the fighting
I hope all civilians get out in the next few days

I would be very interested to see if the polls show putin losing support as sanctions hit or the other way around.
I wonder. If you were a wealthy Russian national, would this make you made at the west or would you believe western media and be mad at Putin for this? Not trying to be a troll, just genuinely curious since I don't have a good sense of how this is all playing out in Russia right now.
All domains is probably doable. All servers? I doubt it.
The domains being in Russia makes sense since there are people using DNS poisoning attacks on Russian sites DNS as we speak.
All servers? Do they even have the hosting hardware to do this? And migrating everything in 5 days? No way.
They will probably do a limited disconnection once the deadline expires to test the resiliency of the network.
Then they will extend the deadline again. They will keep repeating this to try to get as much of the .RU network in Russia as possible.
This will increase .RU's resiliency against future disconnections from Western network providers. This will minimize disruption of services in case of total network disconnection like US did to Syria.
You do know the US embargoed oil sales to Japan in WW2 right?
And that Germany had a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare in WW2.
Why do you think the US wants to sell nuclear attack submarines to a country like Australia? Put two and two together.
Years back there was even talk to make corsair activities legal again. i.e. surface raiding of merchant ships.
In case of a sea blockade a continental connection to Russian resources could be fundamental for the economic survival of China.

Buk? The Russian MOD is claiming to destroy low single digits of Ukrainian Buks per day. Let's say 3 per day on average. Quick Google gives Ukraine 72 Buks per Wikipedia. At that rate that will take Russia 24 days from the start of the campaign just to fully suppress the Buks. Not to mention the remaining S-300s which apparently haven't been fully destroyed going into day 11.
Do you have proof of these assertions?
Russian approval rate of China: 70%+
EU approval rate of China: <30% in almost every country except Italy and Spain
Same way???
What data did you use to draw your conclusions?
Russia sells equipment even to it's own rivals. They maintain Mig-29s even for many NATO countries. I guess Russia is hostile to itself too by your logic. Or maybe if Russia has more money they could choose who to sell to. Hmm.
Apparently the news about Poland sending migs (again) were all fake according to offical poland gov twitter
This is the follow up of this story I posted earlier: Ukrainian War Developments
On March 04, the UK media outlet Daily Express, citing the German source Spiegel, says that at least 700 missles given to Ukraine by the German government are "no longer operational". This is one third of the total number of missles from Germany. These missles are already 35 years old. Some missles even have cracks found in propellant.

Even without understanding the Russian document, I am pretty sure it is not "disconnect from global internet system".
So long as the physical routers in Russia is connected via cables to routers in other countries, they are not disconnected. What is likely to be done is to change the configuration of top DNS servers (at the national border) to stop using world root DNS servers which are located in unfriendly countries such as US and Europe.
This will cost some disturbances initially, but not preventing data traffic in and out of Russia.
Actually China has prepared herself for such scenario by owning one or two world level top DNS servers some years ago. These servers will synchronize with other top DNS servers in Europe and US. Having ones own top DNS server will prevent "deny of service by DNS polluting" which the US could have done to China. US can only attack China in such manner if either it is willing to destroy itself and Europe and the whole word, or forcing the internet to pieces of isolated islands.
What Russia can do is simply not syncing with US DNS servers, but only to China which in term will sync with the rest DNS servers.
A piece of advice is to be careful in making "eye catching" head lines before investigating its true impact, otherwise it would be having the same effect of western propaganda.
