There's been a lot of quite open sabotage already, they are only saying it out loud now. 🙄 But it could be a good point of time to announce that Russian arms plants will now experience sudden structural collapse not only by Ukrainian hands. This game can be played by all players.

Not a military analyst but when I look at the big wars of the 20th century, they weren't won by bodybuilders possessed by killing. They were farmers from Wisconsin or skinny 18 year-olds from Dorset. Just completely normal people, thrown into a situation they didn't want to be in

Four years in the rabbit hole with millions of Russian military docs, and I finally feel comfortable writing this (very uncomfortable) story. Russia appears to have upgraded and re-activated the fabled Dead Hand that ensures global nuclear retaliation if Russia comes under attack.

This is bad. From @economist.com
ArcelorMittal said it was stopping production at Ukraine's biggest steel plant. Europe's largest steelmaker said that it was unable to conduct "safe and sustainable" operations after Russia attacked the plant four times in five weeks, killing five workers. Steel once made up 15% of Ukraine's exports.
Russia has been pummeling the country's infrastructure with ballistic missiles and, recently, jet-powered drones to cripple its economy.
