Latest S2 Update on Ukraine

[F2d5thCav]

I think what we're seeing now is failure of the Russian plan.

IMO, they intended to seize Kiev like they did Prague in 1968 -- with airborne troops and special forces.

Worked back then, this time, the airborne unit got surrounded and eliminated.  So the Ukrainian government still stands.

Now Russia has a new situation.  They have superiority in numbers (and, critically, in aircraft), and will now have to conquer Kiev with their conventional mechanized troops who seem none too motivated.

Meanwhile, Kiev is arming civilians, handing out automatic weapons, and readying Molotov cocktails.

It is going to be bloody.
