Kofman claims that Russia is yet to treat this war as a conventional one. What we have seen so far is not representative of their capabilities. There is military failure, but it's also a question of how much destruction Russia is willing to inflict.
Unfortunately there is plenty of room for escalation. Putin may not be willing or able to throw in the towel. Cornering a wild animal can be dangerous.
Definitely true... public sensors like weather. Well, i guess you could argue belarus claim is dependent on wind direction. The troops at chernobyl though? No question they are fatally irradiated.

The nazi crap seems to have been confusion. It seems Russia believed their own propaganda. They genuinely thought that they were liberating the people who were oppressed. They thought that the ukrainian people were on their side or something. Instead the russian military sure looks trash right now.
This isn't some spec ops precision strike. This is a conventional war. Yes, it's very true that Russia has much more. Said nukes are on alert.

Like what? It's a war crime to intentionally target civilians or civilian buildings. Cruise missiles largely speaking took out most military. Air force has nothing left to really target. Meanwhile antiair is plentiful to keep russia out of the air.
Navy has hit their one target and is now stuck in the black sea burning fuel.
This is an army battle. Russian armor is collapsing. so many destroyed tanks. All the allies are providing antiarmor ammo to ukraine.
Where's the escalation beside using nukes?
