I do not see Putin explain the use of chemical weapons and tactical nukes on Russians, his main goal in this war to remake Ukraine Russia again and will he dare to isolate himself that bigger partners will oust him I hope not.

Its not about only Putin, why are people so fixiated with him alone? Who said his successor will be not even worse than he is? The oligarchs are not the grey eminence of the Russian state, Putin fought them down very explicitly in the early years of his presidency and executed several precedence examples as warnings, to hammer that lesson home: make your gains and play your games, but if you get into the state's and my (Putin'S way) this my state will turn mercilessly against you. He has installed not the military buit the secret service as the guarantor iof his power in this state. The oligarchs may or may not do corrupt business with the military (obviously they do), but with the FSB? Putin is a trenchcoat man, not a uniform man. His guard is not nbthe military, but the secret servic eand intle community. To give it the correct name: KGB. Quote:
And lets not forget, Russia is not isolated. China and India, Brasil, South Africa and several others more refuse to condem,n them, do bsuiness with them, even NATO member Turkey. The so-called West's position in this confrontation is not that of the global majority. And we currently see the strongest anti-West coalition being formed that there ever has been since WW2. We are in the weaker position. Ifd this coaltioiin decides to break with the West and ntoaccepot a world order any longer that was formed by the West and by Western rules, then we wiull look very silly. The russian financial status and gold reserves look not relevant as long as they stick to global sysstem rules defined by the west, but when this coalition of the willing is deciding to no longer play by Wetsenr global ruzles, then we will look very silly while Russia suddenly is the rich man in the room.It were diplomatic defeatsd for Wahsington andEuroope that both India and Southg Africa refused to follow calls by the West to join the anti-Russian position. Especially India, the pharmaceutical powerhouse of the world and soon the country with the biggest population in the world and a rising power economy. It all comes together, and it all is against us. You see, I have no idea how this cirsi8s will end and whetehr or not Russia wins the war. But I refuse to fall for a daydream of that in the loongterm all will be good and Russia will lose anyway. They cna keep the war simmering FOR YEARS TO COME, slowly destroying the ukrainian cities and infrastrruicture and producitron during that time. I do not say they WILL win, but some in the West seem tio think that in the end they will end, this way or the other. Sorry, right now I can not see them loosing decisevly, an they can stil, always unpack the rla big clubs that they so far have no used, just threatened to use. If its worth it for the kremlin, for whatever their motives are, they can sustain this war for a way too long time as if Europe can cope with that. They can also decide to pay the price and simply wipe the ukraine out, with welcomed side-effects for Europe. I am convinced that this game for time is part of Putin's calculation. Time is working for him, and he knows it. Lets hope I am wrong.

Really, this is so ridiculous. Does anyone out of Russia believe that the "Donbas" wanted to join Russia? Maybe not even believed in Russia.

Russia's plan to expand its armed forces is unlikely to have an impact on the Ukraine war, the UK's Ministry of Defence has said.
Vladimir Putin recently signed a decree to increase the Russian armed forces' military personnel to more than 1.15m - a potential increase of 137,000. But the MoD said the boost was unlikely to increase Russia's combat power - partly because of ongoing losses. President Putin's decree came amid a military recruitment drive. There have been reports that recruiters have even been visiting prisons, promising inmates freedom and money. Currently, Russia has a limit of just over a million military personnel, plus almost 900,000 civilian staff. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62705001
